Upgrade to newer OS version

Posted on April 29, 2014

Hi -

How can I upgrade my droplet from Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 LTS. Do I just need to run “sudo do-release-upgrade -d” from SSH and then change the kernel in the admin panel? Are there any risks?

Yes that should work. Make a snapshot first just in case.

To upgrade do <br> <br>sudo apt-get install update-manager-core <br>sudo do-release-upgrade <br>sudo shutdown -h now <br> <br>then go to the DO control panel > settings > kernel and select the version you wish.
