If you’re still using Ubuntu 8.10, then you should have update your Ubuntu to 9.04. The update process can be done online if you already have installed Ubuntu 8.10, and you have a fast access Internet connection. Before you update to Ubuntu 9.04 you should completely update your Ubuntu 8.10 first. Then after that you need to type in Alt+F2, and type in the pop up box with “update-manager -d” without the double quotes. You should see “New distribution release 9.04.” Just click Upgrade and follow the self-explaining instructions.
During the upgrading process, the system will try to get the packages that aren’t yet available on your system by downloading these from Ubuntu’s reposistories. After downloading the necessary packages for upgrading, you should see that your system tries to install the downloaded packages. You may get ask about keeping certain old system files, or replace with the new system files. If you know what you are asking of, then you should keep your system files/configurations, otherwise I suggest you just replace the old system files/configurations with the new files. The whole upgrading process takes about 35 minutes or more depending on your Internet connection speed and the upload speed of Ubuntu’s reposistories.
