How to upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 to 22.04.1 via command line?

  • 772

I have a VM running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and I know that Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS has been released months ago. Then how can I upgrade to 22.04.1 on the fly, keeping all existing software and configs?

I tried sudo do-release-upgrade, but told that There is no development version of an LTS available.

do-release-upgrade does not work

I hope that the answer is suitable to Ubuntu 22.04 running on WSL1 as well, because, there is a weird /usr/bin/gzip problem on WSL1, here: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8219

    You don't need special commands to upgrade a 22.04 system, the normal

    sudo apt update

    to update your software lists; ie. so your system knows what upgraded packages are available for install, then

    sudo apt full-upgrade

    to apply those security fixes & upgrades.

    A reboot maybe required at completion.

    The do-release-upgrade command is to change from using one release (jammy or 22.04 is what you're using now) to upgrade to a later release (eg. 22.10, or the next LTS which will be 24.04 a long time from now), and isn't used when you're trying to stay on the same jammy or 22.04 system you're currently using.

    The "no development version of an LTS available" message you mention is because the development release of 24.04 doesn't open until after 23.10 has been released in October 2023 (and 22.10 is no longer a development release being a released or stable product).
