I am looking to upgrade a box of mine using command line only. I am going from 10.04 to 10.10 and have changed all instances of lucid to maverick within the sources.list file but now I don't want to continue until I can be safe to upgrade by disabling the third-party repos.

How can I disable these using the command line? Should I just move the sources.list.d folder? Any other ways I'm missing?

Thanks for any help and clarification.

Instead of moving sources.list.d/, I would just rename it to 10.04.sources.list.d for example. Either way would work.

Cool idea, Thanks! ~2hr countdown. Let's hope it is a smooth transition.

Thanks, again.

Curious if you read the Upgrade Notes (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu% 20Servers%20%28Recommended%29), as changing "lucid" to "maverick" in your sources.list file is definitely not the recommended method...

I did, but I wouldn't have thought that was the preferred method. Oh well, what's done is done.

Thanks for the tip, but I hope it works either way.
