17.10 to 18.04 upgrade problem

[akhramenko]

Hello everyone!
I would like to continue my discussion and find out the solution to my problem.
Here is the question from askUbuntu: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1075436/17-10-to-18-04-upgrade-problem

Please post issues & what you have already changed/done so we do not have to duplicate suggestions.

What brand/model system? What video card/chip?
Was/is 17.10 working ok? It is EOL, so no more updates. Generally better to update before EOL.
At this point a new install may be easier.
Do you have good backups? If not do that before anything else.
Post this:
sudo parted -l

Basically, my first request was "I'm trying to upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04.01 and have this problem: after "fetch is complete" message, it rolls back the system and I can't continue. Can someone give me advice?" .

What I did:
1. Disabled all PPA's
2. Removed all third-party apps that I can

I run this commands:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded

After:
do-release-upgrade

It looks like you have full drive encryption and using LVM and UEFI boot.

I do not know LVM nor encryption, but assume you must have drive fully mounted and unencrypted for an update to work.

[akhramenko]

I don't know about LVM and UEFI boot, but the disk is encrypted, and when I upgraded from 16.10 to 17.04, 17.10 had no problem with that.
