View Full Version : [SOLVED] Accidental Natty Upgrade?

I set a computer that has been out of commission for over a year, to upgrading last night.

I *thought* I was going to 10.10, but when I checked my repositories when all was said and done, everything "Maverick" related was "disabled on upgrade to Maverick".

Then to see "well what the heck *did* I upgrade to?",

System > About Ubuntu tells me
You are using Ubuntu 11.04
- the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012.


Wha?

Am I really at 11.04? Could I have upgraded to Natty by accident?

I don't think I'm really in Natty - Unity isn't even an option, and it's the default choice in 11+, right?

I'v re-enabled all my needed repos. Is this mis-identification going to cause me any problems down the road?

edit:
I upgraded via the Update Manager, not the command line to get developer releases. The Update Manager is set to "Normal releases". I do have all update options checked - maverick-security, maverick-updates, maverick-proposed, and maverick-backports.

It is most likely this bug...

What is the output of the following terminal command ?


lsb_release -a

Thank you! I was just googling for "command line to tell Ubuntu version".

Looks like Maverick.

Excellent. So long as it's just the docs with the wrong info, and not antying actually in-charge of updates/upgrades, it's all good.

Thanks for the bug link. :)

Yep, you have Maverick. I'm sure the documentation will be fixed shortly.

You're welcome.
