<div>a fibre connection took about 4 mins. adsl, uhf and wimax may take much longer.</div><div><br></div><div><b>NB: before you do any of this.. make sure to backup your files, incase something goes wrong.</b></div>
<div><br></div><div>-to start an upgrade, you will need to use an application called 'update-manager'.</div><div>you can start it by running "<b>sudo update-manager</b>" from a terminal.</div><div><br></div>
<div>-if you do not have update-manager on your machine (kubuntu does not include it) then you can install it by running</div><div>"<b>sudo apt-get install update-manager</b>" </div><div><br></div><div>-when update-manager opens, it'll do a check, and you should see a notification that an upgrade to 11.04 is available.</div>
<div>click on this and the upgrade will start. the application will check for a mirror, and should notify you that a mirror is not available,</div><div>and if you'd like to update your sources file with "natty". at that prompt, just say yes. (if there is no upgrade available,</div>
<div>click settings, then go to updates, and change the "release upgrade" to normal releases).</div><div><br></div><div>-the upgrade will then notify you again, with a list of files that will be removed, upgraded and installed. once you </div>
<div>are happy with the changes being made, just click next/yes/continue. it will then download the files and</div><div>upgrade your system. once it is finished, it'll prompt your for a reboot, and then you are done.</div>
<div><br></div><div>be warned, the download and upgrade does take a while... in my case, 4 minutes to download, and 1 hour 40 mins </div><div>to upgrade.</div><div><br></div><div>also on another note, i tried this upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 only.... i am not sure if this will work from 10.04 to 11.04.</div>
