Ubuntu 21.10 is here, and it is an exciting release. With this new version of Ubuntu, Canonical finally gives its users Gnome 40, the next-gen update to Gnome Shell, and many other excellent features. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how you can upgrade your Ubuntu system to 21.10.<\/p>\n

Upgrade to 21.10 \u2013 GUI<\/h2>\n

Upgrading to 21.10 via the GUI is the way to go, as the upgrade is easy to perform. Not to mention, it takes care of everything with just a few clicks. Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n

First, you\u2019ll need to upgrade your system so that your current release of Ubuntu (21.04) has the latest packages installed. To update Ubuntu to the latest packages, press the Win<\/strong> key on the keyboard, type in \u201cSoftware Updater,\u201d and launch it.<\/p>\n

With Software Updater open, it will check for the latest 21.04 updates. When it confirms that you have packages to install, a notification will appear asking you to install the updates. Do so.<\/p>\n

With all updates installed, Ubuntu will tell you, \u201cThe software on this computer is up to date. However, Ubuntu 21.10 is now available (you have 21.04). \u201d Click on the \u201cUpgrade\u201d button to start the 21.10 upgrade process.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Note: the upgrade notification should appear after installing updates in Ubuntu 21.04. If you do not see the notification on your Ubuntu system, do not worry. You can force the upgrade by launching a terminal and entering the update-manager -d<\/code> command.<\/p>\n

When you select the \u201cUpgrade\u201d button, Ubuntu will ask for a password. Using your keyboard, type in your user account password. Then, select the \u201cAuthenticate\u201d button to confirm.<\/p>\n

Upon entering your password, the Ubuntu 21.10 release notes will appear. Take some time and read them. After you\u2019ve finished reading the release notes, find the \u201cUpgrade\u201d button and click on it to move to the next step in the upgrade process.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Selecting the \u201cUpgrade\u201d button in the 21.10 release notes area will bring up the upgrade window. This window will prepare your system for the upgrade. After, a window will appear that says, \u201cDo you want to start the upgrade?\u201d Click on the \u201cStart Upgrade\u201d button to confirm.<\/p>\n

The upgrade process takes a bit of time, as the Ubuntu upgrade tool has many things to download. So sit back, be patient and allow the upgrader tool to install the latest release to your system.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When all upgrades are installed on your Ubuntu system, you\u2019ll see a \u201cremove obsolete packages\u201d window appear on the screen. Find the \u201cRemove\u201d button and click on it with the mouse to remove all obsolete packages.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With all obsolete packages removed, the upgrade is complete. Then, reboot your computer to start using Ubuntu 21.10!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Upgrade to 21.10 \u2013 Terminal<\/h2>\n

Another way to upgrade to Ubuntu 21.10 is with the terminal. To start, you\u2019ll need to launch a terminal window on the Ubuntu desktop. Press Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard to open up a terminal. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way.<\/p>\n

With the terminal window open, use the apt update<\/strong> command to refresh Ubuntu\u2019s software sources and check for updates.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt update\n<\/pre>\n
After running the update<\/strong> command, use the upgrade<\/strong> command to install any of the pending updates available for Ubuntu 21.04. These upgrades must be installed because Ubuntu will not upgrade before installing all patches.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt upgrade -y\n<\/pre>\n
Following the upgrade, the dist-upgrade<\/strong> command must be run on your Ubuntu system. The dist-upgrade<\/strong> command will install all pending upgrades to Ubuntu that are held back.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt dist-upgrade -y\n<\/pre>\n
Now that all updates are installed on Ubuntu 21.04, upgrading to 21.10 can begin. Using the sed<\/strong> command, replace \u201chirsute\u201d with \u201cimpish\u201d in your Ubuntu software sources.<\/p>\n
\nsudo sed -i 's\/hirsute\/impish\/g' \/etc\/apt\/sources.list\n<\/pre>\n
With the software sources changed from 21.04 to 21.10, the next step is to update Ubuntu. Ubuntu must be updated to see the changes made in the \u201csources.list\u201d file.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt update\n<\/pre>\n
When you enter the update<\/strong> command, Ubuntu will remove all references to \u201chirsute\u201d and add in the new information you\u2019ve added with the sed<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
After running the update<\/strong> command, Ubuntu will inform you that you have new packages to install. These packages are the 21.10 upgrade. To install these packages, run the upgrade<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt upgrade -y\n<\/pre>\n
With the upgrade<\/strong> command run, most of the Ubuntu 21.10 packages will be installed. However, most are not all. To install the rest of the packages to finish the upgrades, run the dist-upgrade<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dist-upgrade -y\n<\/pre>\n
When the dist-upgrade<\/strong> command is complete, reboot your computer. After rebooting, you\u2019ll be using Ubuntu 21.10! Enjoy!<\/p>\n
