Hi
i am using 11.10, NOw i am trying to upgrade to 12.04 using alternate cd. (Please don't ask why i am using this method and not others).
i followed the procedure mentioned at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades)
i successfully created the directory using `
sudo mkdir -p /media/cdromthen i executed the command in terminal as instructed
sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdromit showed the folloing result in terminal
mount: warning: /media/cdrom seems to be mounted read-only.But after that now upgrade dialogue was shown,
so then i executed
gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade" by pressing alt+F2
even then there was no upgrade dialogue
so i tried again the same command but without commas("")
like this
gksu sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade
it did bring the upgrade dialogue,
then it says that i need to download the data as this much data needed , please see attached image
