Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus - change from release to stable channel

  • 772

Last week I installed a desktop and thought I should install Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus right away. That would prevent a later upgrade. As I understand in these last weeks nothing really changes, it's mostly testing.

Now I would like to know if I need to change the channel from RC (release) to stable, or if this happens automatically? How can I check this?

  1. No, you don't need to change anything.

    If you want you can check the package sources in the file /etc/apt/sources.list:

    All lines that don't start with a # should have something with xenial in the third field (after the URL), for example

    deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main restricted

    or 

    deb-src http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates multiverse
