Hi

I have this lubuntu based webserver, which has been running continuously for the last 644 days.

I have now become aware that this installation never has been upgraded.

When I try to upgrade (apt-get update) I get a lot of 404 (probably because saucy isn't supported any more) and no new version upgrade.

How can I force an upgrade to the latest version, without having to install everything again?

/Kim

Follow the information here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades) to upgrade to 14.04, the current LTS release which is supported till 2019.

You could stay there or continue upgrading to the current 15.10 which expires next July, so probably not a great idea, the next LTS is released next April (16.04) can be upgraded to directly from 14.04.
