[lennoxg]

Tried to upgrade from ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04. 1 via command line and update manager
Getting the same problem. following are some of my command line input and their responses.

i updated all installed packages using both the update manager and also the following command line commands

sudo apt update
sudo apt list --upgradable
sudo apt upgrade

I removed all unused old kernels using the following command

sudo apt --purge autoremove


I tried reinstalling Update manager core packages using the following command

sudo apt install update-manager-core


Then i tried upgrading to ubuntu 20.04 using the following command

sudo do-release-upgrade

Following are the terminal output after some of the commands

lennoxg@lennoxg-X510UAR:~$ sudo apt --purge autoremove

I am new to linux
I am running a dual boot consisting of windows 10 and ubuntu 18.04 on Asus Vivobook
64Bit OS

Thanks for all the help

[grahammechanical]

You started off correctly by updating/upgrading 18.04. What you need to do now is open Software & Updates>Other Software tab and uncheck those Bionic PPAs. They are pointing to repositories that do not exist in 20.04 (Focal).

The do-release-upgrade command is for server systems and you need to add what is called a switch. It is -d if we are upgrading from 18.04.

or you can follow the instructions in the 20.04 release notes.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes

To upgrade on a desktop system:

• Open the "Software & Updates" Setting in System Settings.
  
  
• Select the 3rd Tab called "Updates".
• Set the "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" drop down menu to "For any new version" if you are using 19.10; set it to "For long-term support versions" if you are using 18.04 LTS.
• Press Alt+F2 and type update-manager -c into the command box if you are using 19.10;
  type update-manager -c -d if you are using 18.04 LTS.
  
  
• Update Manager should open up and tell you that Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is now available.
• Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

Regards

[lennoxg]

Thanks Graham for your response. I will do what you say and get bak to you later today

[lennoxg]

Hi Graham i did what u said but the problem is remains. I did a screen record of what i did with simple screen recorder, but i realize that i cant attach it to this reply as the forum does not support .mkv files. i would have to copy the print out again and send it to you. will do so later tonight

thanks again

Unless something happened recently nothing changed to fix the broken package issue your having with samba.
Run

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -f

post the results.

Also a similar issue posted here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1090...sult-exit-code

But basically you need to fix that first before any upgrade are possible.

[lennoxg]

Thanks DeadFlowr
Here are the outputs from the two commands

What I can gather is samba might have a configuration issue.
run

testparm

to see what's gong on with it.

I ran testparm

Hi Deadflowr

I changed the permission on directory /var/lib/samba to 0755
i also changed the permission on director /var/cache/samba to 0755

i tried the upgrade again but it still did not work

Here are the display of the directories after making the changes
