Hello all,

My understanding was that the in-place upgrade won't be activated until the
first point release is available, ie the 24.04.1.
Until then, the only working way to get a 24.04 install running properly is
to make a fresh install using the ISO.

Judging from last week's lab with inplace upgrades I did on a vm desktop
from 22.04.4, it "kinda' works", but several update, security repos etc will
not be available, potentially leaving the system in an unstable situation.
Dependency problems galore as well. YMMV though.

FWIW, I also did some lab tests with the 24.04 server inplace upgrade from
22.04. This went through pretty good. Didn't see too many problems at all!

If the system you want to upgrade is crucial in any way, I'd wait till
autumn with the upgrade.
