Upgrage issue

[suddhasheel]

Hi,

We have a local ubuntu repo at our insti. Let us suppose that I have an 12.04 machine with the repo settings as follows:

deb http://<server-name>/ubuntu precise main restricted unverse multiverse
deb http://<server-name>/ubuntu precise-backports main restricted unverse multiverse
deb http://<server-name>/ubuntu precise-updates main restricted unverse multiverse
deb http://<server-name>/ubuntu precise-security main restricted unverse multiverse
deb http://<server-name>/ubuntu precise-proposed main restricted unverse multiverse

Suppose, I were to change precise to quantal in this list, will my machine upgrade. Please tell me this as my 12.04 machine is not upgrading to 12.10. I have tried all hooks and crooks as given in the forums.

are you sure about quantal available on that server ? Otherwise that seems ok.

Yes!

I upgraded two machines with the update-manager shortcut technique as described in Ubuntu.com, and they are accessing this repository of quantal.

However, I have checked all the parameters that are required to be checked, and I cannot locate any disparity in the file and parameter settings.

I request you to confirm this, as I cannot afford to lose the data or reformat the machine.
