Upgrade from Ubuntu 20.10 to Ubuntu 21.04

Hi,

I have received an email from OVH informing me that the Ubuntu 20.10 images for VPS are reaching end of life, and suggesting me to upgrade distribution to Ubuntu 21.04.

I have a VPS with Ubuntu 20.10 distribution.

I followed this guide (https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/public-cloud/upgrading-operating-system/) to upgrade distribution from Ubuntu 20.10 to Ubuntu 21.04.

But I am getting error messages when trying to update and upgrade packages and distribution. I am posting the commands and the results below:

`$ sudo apt-get update` returns:

And `$ sudo do-release-upgrade` returns:

Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore.
For upgrade information, please visit:
http://www.ubuntu.com/releaseendoflife

Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

Any idea what I should do?

Many thanks in advance.

Best,
Thibaut

I've got the same problem. Did you find a solution, please?

Hello @RodrigueR, sorry but I haven't found a solution yet. If you find one please let me know !


Did you find a solution, please?


Hi @RodrigueR and all,

I managed to update my VPS using the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades End Of Life Ubuntu versions upgrade guide, which I found thanks to https://community.ovh.com/t/comment-upgrader-un-vps-sous-ubuntu20/50515/2 this OVH community french forum post.

If I understand correctly, the main difference with the classic upgrade method is to update `/etc/apt/sources.list` as indicated in the guide.

Hope this is helpful,
Thibaut
