I've been upgrading my laptop through 6 releases (it's 3 years old), and never had a single failure.
Do you use the provided upgrade path? It's very surprising to me to hear that - we test upgrades pretty thoroughly.
Disclaimer: I work for Canonical.
- tormeh 12y agoI know this is not the proper way to register a bug, but there's a problem when installing 14.04 on a UEFI motherboard that does not have Secure Boot. The installer just assumes there's Secure Boot on and the bootloader gets misconfigured.
- cowardlydragon 12y agoI've had to rebuild with a new OS install twice. I've run Ubuntu for probably... crap, is it 10 years now? It usually coincided with a oh-well-might-as-well-upgrade decision... At least one was a two major version upgrade. But still.
- Kenji 12y agoThat's weird. Nobody I know has ever made a successful Ubuntu version upgrade. There was literally no case where nothing broke. I resigned; I will make a clean new install if I want a new version.
