    Can I upgrade from Karmic Koala (9.10) to Maverick Meerkat (10.10)

    I currently use Karmic Koala (9.10) and want to upgrade to Maverick Meerkat (10.10). The thing is that Update Manager allows me to upgrade only to 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) but I cannot upgrade to Lucid Lynx because of a bug which freezes my keyboard and mouse. Also, upgrading first to 10.04 and then to 10.10 is quite time consuming. Can I upgrade directly to 10.10 from 9.10 without 10.04 acting as a mediator?

    Thanks,

    No, you need to go through 10.04 first. Or back up and fresh install 10.10. Personally I like 10.04 better.

    +1 to what wojox said.

    Try 10.10 as a LiveCD first to make sure the issues with freezing don't continue there as well.

    Other than that, why not stick with Karmic? It is supported until April 2011, giving you plenty of time to figure out a solution before upgrading.

    Yes, I will go with the LiveCD first. The reason that I don't want to stick with Karmic is because Karmic does not has out of the box support for newer iPods/iPhones/iPads.

    and maybe if you do a fresh install of 10.10, you should make a separate /home partition.
