This problem cuts both ways. I have a Ubuntu VM I use occasionally and the last time I allowed it to update it took literal hours and died halfway through and I lacked the expertise to figure out what went wrong.
It still boots so I just ignore the update nags since I don't really use it for much that is important.
But the install is extremely vanilla and I'm a little shocked the update had issues.
- spikej 5y agoI'm primarily a windows user with a couple of linux-based servers. I just went through this very thing, except I ended up spending hours Googling after failed updates to ensure I could jump to latest LTS from two LTS versions behind. Half way through I cursed myself for not having documented my set up well enough to just wipe and install clean latest LTS image so I wouldn't have to wade through various forum question/answers.
