I thought I'd exercise my vast knowledge of Ubuntu and bypass the requirement to upgrade to 18.10 as an intermediate step when migrating from 18.04 to 19.04. Karma's a harsh mistress.
Actually, everything worked well. Purged the nvidia driver (reboot to nouveau), changed the repo sources and did the dist-upgrade. After a reboot the system came up as expected with no obvious problems.
About reports 19.04/Gnome 3.32, but uname still shows I'm on the 4.18.25 kernel.
I could live like this, I suppose. I could do a fresh, bare metal install from the 19.04 .iso but I'm not certain if the systemd fix that allows Disco to run on AMD Ryzen 3000 cpus has made it to the installation .iso (nothing is release notes, yet). Or, I could just restore the partition image of 18.04 I made before this adventure began and wait until 19.10 gets released.
But, what I'd really like to do is install a 5.x series kernel into what I have now. Can I just select the 5.0.20-x generic image in repo with Synaptic and go from there?
TIA. You guys are great.
