How to upgrade from Ubuntu 16 or 17 to 18

VPS Customers running Ubuntu 16 or 17 can upgrade to their latest OS version, being Ubuntu 18.04 currently, with the following commands run as the root user:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Then set ‘Prompt=normal’ in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and run (as root, preferably on your VPS Console (access to which we provide)):

do-release-upgrade

And answer Y or let it proceed with defaults.

Finally, reboot into your new upgraded kernel and system.

FYI,
Richard.
