Hello. I have XUbuntu Maverick and want to upgrade to Precise LTR however the update manager can't do that which I guess is because Maverick is not supported anymore. Does anybody know how to safely upgrade? I once before tried adding the new repos to "other software" in synaptic but broke the system! :o

If you have Xubuntu 10.10 you can not upgrade directly to 12.04.Your upgrades will look like this 10.10>11.04>11.10>12.04.I think it is long way to go with possible errors on the road.best thing will be to back up ypur files and make fresh install.Even if you have separate home partition make back up.
