How to upgrade (kernel and desktop ver.)?

[SeePU]

How should one upgrade the kernel and desktop version?

That is, without breaking the system. I am used to just installing anew when Ubuntu/Kubuntu moves to the updated version.

Is there some steps of what you need to do (first)? Can I find some steps posted someplace or can someone help me here?

Search for upgrades in the wiki.

The easiest way is via the update-manager (GUI). In a terminal type:



sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
sudo update-manager


The other easy way is via the command line, which is basically the same tool.



sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
sudo aptitude install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade
