How To Upgrade Ubuntu 10.04 [Lucid Lynx] To 10.10 [Maverick Meerkat] - cheeseburger - 10-12-2010
Start the Update Manager (System > Administration > Update Manager):

![[Image: 64501663.jpg]](http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/1002/64501663.jpg)
The Updates tab in the Software Sources window should open.

The Update Manager should show that a new distribution release (10.10) is available.
Click on the Upgrade button to start the distribution upgrade:

You might see the following message (Continue without installing GRUB?). I recommend to check the checkbox and click on Forward so that the system will continue to use the old, working GRUB. If you don't check the checkbox , the update manager will install a new GRUB and ask you on which device/partition it should be installed which can make the system unbootable if you select the wrong device/partition.

Because we had to change the Release upgrade settings in the Software Sources window,
you will see the following message. It is ok to select Keep:
![[Image: 91172742.jpg]](http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/25/91172742.jpg)
At the end of the upgrade process, you should remove obsolete packages:

![[Image: 91244944.jpg]](http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/4832/91244944.jpg)
The system needs to be rebooted to complete the upgrade, therefore click on Restart Now:
![[Image: 12722284.jpg]](http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/1323/12722284.jpg)
After the reboot, you can use your new Ubuntu 10.10 desktop:
