Can't upgrade to 23.04 from 22.10, added old releases to the sources.list

[sony_gamer]

I'm on 22.10 and trying to upgrade to 23.04. I've added the following to my sources.list

## EOL upgrade sources.list
# Required
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ kinetic main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ kinetic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ kinetic-security main restricted universe multiverse

# Optional
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ kinetic-backports main restricted universe multiverse

I still get the following

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo do-release-upgrade
...

Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore.
For upgrade information, please visit:
http://www.ubuntu.com/releaseendoflife

Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
[user]@workstation:~$

I'd rather not do a fresh install if I can avoid it.

[MAFoElffen]

Have you updated all packages to current at the end of life? Did you then disable all PPA's?

Why do you want to go to 23.04 instead of an LTS? <-- Just out of curiosity...

[MAFoElffen]

Do a very good backup to external media.

Prepare a bootable Installer LiveUSB, for the just in cases.

Recommended would be to do a fresh install and migrate the data to the new install. But having said that...

Then do:

# Just to ensure everything is up to date
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
# Change the sources list to jammy's repo's
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.kenetic
sudo sed -i 's/old-releases/us\.archive/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo sed -i 's/kenetic/jammy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
grep . /etc/apt/sources.list

Check to ensure everything looks okay before preceding.

# Upgrade the release one step up to jammy
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Reboot. Test. Make sure everything is okay.

Then if you still want to upgrade to Lunar, then

sudo do-release-upgrade -d

[sony_gamer]

I'm wanting to update to something that works, but also a version that has decent Radeon graphics drivers. I've tried to update everything ... will be rebooting and trying to update in a moment.

If you got error updating... when you started out... You should have stopped right there. It never updated/upgraded from your original sources.list.

This is out-of-the-box kind of stuff. Any problem, stop and ask. Do not just continue. That is potentially risking causing problems on top of problems. Understood?

Please post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.kinetic (the backup copy I had you make, for the just-in-cases.)

You did take a good backup before that right? Something to fall back to?

Your sources.list started out as invalid, and had duplicate entries pointing to different places.

Here is how I suggest you fix that. First copy the contents of this into a file and name it ~/Documents/sources.list.2210-old

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ kinetic main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ kinetic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ kinetic-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ kinetic-backports main restricted universe multiverse

Then copy this into another file called ~/Documents/sources.list.2204-new

deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ca.security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security main restricted universe muitiverse

Then from a terminal do this

sudo cp ~/Documents/sources.list.2210-old /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update
# If there are any error with that, stop here...
# If successful, then
sudo apt upgrade

If successful at this point, then do

sudo cp ~/Documents/sources.list.2204-new /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

As when you are going to do any release upgrades, go into the "Software & Upgrades" app and disable all the external third party repo's.

22.04 and 23.04 have amdgpu opensource drivers in the kernel. Do you really need the third party binary driver? Maybe you should plan on uninstalling the driver and reinstalling if you need to later(?)

I upgraded to 23.04 then 23.10. Unfortunately I've run into a different issue, which may need a post in a different topic. I've got large black borders around the file browser, settings, gnome extension manager, but not firefox, terminal, or chrome. I've checked the extensions but I don't think there's anything causing this.
