If you are still using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, you’ll find Ubuntu 20.04 stunningly beautiful with its dark Yaru theme. Here’s a video showing what Ubuntu 20.04 looks like. Have a look and judge it yourself.
Looks great, isn’t it? If you are excited about Ubuntu 20.04 and cannot wait till the final stable release on 23rd April, you can start using it even today. It’s fairly stable and it could even help Ubuntu team in testing this release.
There’s always the option to download the daily build and install it afresh. But if you are using Ubuntu 18.04 or Ubuntu 19.10, you can upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 beta from your existing system.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you the steps to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 beta.
Before you see the steps, let me answer some of the common questions regarding upgrading to Ubuntu beta version.
Alright! You know enough now. Let’s see the steps to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 beta from Ubuntu 19.10 and 18.04.
Go to Software & Updates application:
In the Updates tab, check that Notify me of a new Ubuntu version is set to “Any new version” or “LTS version”:
This may reload the Software repository cache.
Once you have the correct settings in place, open a terminal (use Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut in Ubuntu) and use the following command to update your Ubuntu system:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgradeThe apt full-upgrade or dist-upgrade function the same as ‘apt upgrade’ but it will remove currently installed packages if this is needed to upgrade the system as a whole (i.e. a version upgrade).
Your system may ask to restart after installing updates. That’s fine. Restart and resume upgrading to beta release from step 3.
Now that you have all the necessary updates installed, you can open the update manager but with -d option. The -d option tells it to look for development releases.
update-manager -dIt may take a couple of minutes before informing you that a new version of Ubuntu is available.
A similar message is displayed in Ubuntu 18.04 as well:
Hit the upgrade button when you see the above message.
The rest of the upgrade procedure is basically waiting for update downloads and clicking okay wherever requested.
Hit the upgrade button and follow the on-screen instructions.
You might be notified that all the third party sources have been disabled. At some point, it will also inform you of the packages that will be upgraded, removed etc. It will also ask if you want to keep obsolete packages or not. I prefer to remove them.
Depending on your internet speed, the upgrade may take a couple of hours. Once the upgrade process is complete, you’ll be asked to restart your system.
This video shows all the steps in action:
See, it wasn’t that difficult. Enjoy all the new features in Ubuntu 20.04.
