Ubuntu 23.04 (featuring GNOME 44 and Linux kernel 6.2) is set to release on April 20
Installing it now over a previous distribution is not recommended. Anyway, you will still be able to experiment it using VMs.
To the answer,
As @Rishon_JR said, you need to set Prompt=normal
by doing
sudo nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
I tried installing Ubuntu 23.04 in my Virtual machine with Ubuntu 22.10 using sudo do-release-upgrade -d
and it didn't work.
However, if you really want to install it on your primary system(not recommended). You can follow the steps
→ Update your system, sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
→ Run the following command to add the lunar repository
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lunar main restricted universe multiverse"
→ Once again, run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
. It will download all necessary files and install Ubuntu 23.04 with Linux kernel 6.1.0.
→ Reboot
The above steps should work.
- Remember, it is not a stable version, and you may try it out in a virtual machine or wait till its official release.
After using it for a few hours, it is not that bad, apart from some bugs like nautilus crashing when I try to search something.
