For users who have third-party app packages installed in Ubuntu 24.10, e.g., through PPAs, update manager will incorrectly remove these foreign packages during upgrade to Ubuntu 25.04. See this <a href=\"https:\/\/bugs.launchpad.net\/ubuntu\/+source\/ubuntu-release-upgrader\/+bug\/2107657\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bug report<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48732\" style=\"width: 631px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/plucky-upgrade-foreign.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48732\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48732\" src=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/plucky-upgrade-foreign.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"621\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/plucky-upgrade-foreign.webp 621w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/plucky-upgrade-foreign-300x188.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-48732\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">foreign packages<\/p><\/div>\n<p>2. For KUbuntu 24.10 with Steam installed via either official <code>.deb<\/code> or steam-installer package, the desktop will not boot after upgraded to KUbuntu 25.04, as the <code>kubuntu-desktop<\/code> package is however removed . See this <a href=\"https:\/\/bugs.launchpad.net\/ubuntu\/+source\/ubuntu-release-upgrader\/+bug\/2106202\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bug report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>3. For Qt based flavors, e.g., LUbuntu and KUbuntu, the upgrade process may fail due to the frontend port to PyQt6 (already fixed for Ubuntu 24.10). See this <a href=\"https:\/\/bugs.launchpad.net\/ubuntu\/+source\/ubuntu-release-upgrader\/+bug\/2095535\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bug report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>4. For Ubuntu Studio, the upgrade process may fail as <code>ubuntustudio-desktop<\/code> somehow marked for autoremoval and it got removed, along with all dependencies. See this <a href=\"https:\/\/bugs.launchpad.net\/ubuntu\/+source\/ubuntu-release-upgrader\/+bug\/2104859\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bug report<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n<p>There may be even more upgrading issues, see <a href=\"https:\/\/bugs.launchpad.net\/ubuntu\/+source\/ubuntu-release-upgrader\/+bugs?orderby=-date_last_updated&amp;start=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this pages<\/a> for all bug reports.<\/p>\n<h3>When will it be back<\/h3>\n<p>The upgrade will be re-enabled very soon. For those who care about it, just keep an eye on <a href=\"https:\/\/discourse.ubuntu.com\/t\/status-of-oracular-to-plucky-upgrades\/59652\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this thread<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you insist on upgrading your Ubuntu Desktop, then you may try the methods below until the upgrade channel re-opened:<\/p>\n<p>1. Launch update manager and try upgrading through devel channel, which will also upgrade to 25.04 stable if everything goes well.<\/p>\n<pre>update-manager -d<\/pre>\n<p>2. Or, use the command below to do the job from terminal:<\/p>\n<pre>do-release-upgrade -d<\/pre>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/plucky-upgrade-dev.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-48733\" src=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/plucky-upgrade-dev-700x315.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"610\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/plucky-upgrade-dev-700x315.webp 700w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/plucky-upgrade-dev-300x135.webp 300w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/plucky-upgrade-dev-768x346.webp 768w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/plucky-upgrade-dev.webp 893w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Ubuntu 24.10 users who are going to upgrade to the latest Ubuntu 25.04, the upgrade channel was temporarily suspended due to bugs!
