I found with going from 16-18 with do-release-upgrade it was actually faster to start over that it was to wait for the upgrade on WSL.
do-release-upgrade
I have been working with WSL long enough to know that it's important to document your dev setup for that time when you need to start over. 😅
For anyone else interested I had a look to see if I could update my version of Ubuntu from 18.04 and it seems there's no release available yet.
Ok, let's see where this goes, currently 14:15 here in the UK and I've kicked this off after setting the Prompt=normal in release-upgrades.
Prompt=normal
release-upgrades
I have a 2 core i5 @ 2.7 GHz, once complete I'll check with lsb_release -a
lsb_release -a
14:30 so it looks like this failed, I got this prompt:
Not sure what it's for but retrying didn't work so I aborted out and got this mesasage:
Not going anywhere now 😬
So after a lot of Ctrl+c's I got an option to resurrect the window, it's now moving again.
So, it looks like it was a botched upgrade, I'm presuming because I didn't use sudo 🤦♀️
sudo
I made a post on how I upgraded:
