If this is your work/production machine, I would advise you NOT to
perform upgrade <u><b>testing</b></u> on the actual hardware. You
can install a VirtualBox "machine" to simulate this effectively.
Yes, wait until the release is final and please take care to first
backup data to off-line media (E.g. USB drive). Always,
periodically, backup data to off-line devices. Sorry if I sound
like a "mother hen".<br>
<br>
I personally use actual bare machines that I have because they are
spare/available and wiping them out does not bother me. Also, there
is value in performing upgrade testing on a bare machine as opposed
to a VM (slightly different test sub-cases).<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>
<br>

How did you upgrade: `update-manager -d` or booting an ISO
image and select the upgrade option? Please specify which
method.<br>
What hardware are you using?<br>
Were you testing against actual hardware or in a virtual
box?<br>
<br>
Outline for upgrade using update-manager against 13.10:<br>
1 - Do a ground-up install of 13.10 from CD or thumb-drive
to the HDD/SSD or use a virtual box item (less
disruptive).<br>
2 - Bring 13.10 installation up-to-date.<br>
3 - In a terminal window, start `update-manager -d`.<br>
4 - After a long update-manager run, did it work or did
you see failure? If failure, report it against
update-manager.<br>
<br>
Outline for upgrade using 14.04 ISO image against 13.10:<br>
1 - Do a ground-up install of 13.10 from CD or thumb-drive
to the HDD/SSD or use a virtual box item (less
disruptive).<br>
2 - Bring 13.10 installation up-to-date.<br>
3 - Boot the 14.04 ISO image and perform an upgrade of the
existing 13.10 installation.<br>
4 - When complete, did it work or did you see failure? If
failure, report it against ubiquity.<br>
<br>
The 2 outlines for upgrading 12.04.xx are essentially the
same.<br>
<br>
I did both methods (update-manager and ubiquity/ISO) and
had no issues with starting with 12.04.xx or 13.10.<br>

<div>I've tried to update from 13.10 to contribute but
I haven't had Tiago's luck. I've had some errors

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then another error said Could not install the

<div>The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in
an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg
--configure -a)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I press closed and immediately another message
said that the update was complete but there were
errors. I restarted and the lock screen have changed
to the 14.04 one, then I got an error to report.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now the machine works but the Xubuntu menu is the
same as 13.10 and so far I haven't found any other
problem.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How could I finish the upgrade. It didn't finish
it completed three quarters only.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you.</div>
