There are many ways to do that such, let’s take a look on how to upgrade to ubuntu 12.04.

3. Or you can try a simple way by just upgrading using Update Manager, but while we actually trying to do that it won’t show any upgrade note.

As you can see on the above image there are no such upgrade button. So how we gonna upgrade? Well I have a solution for that to do that you need to open up your terminal window and execute the following command

sudo update-manager -d

Enter your password and that will again open the Update manager, this time you will see that there is a upgrade button on the right top.

Click on the Upgrade Button after confirming the upgrading it starts downloading the updates.

It will take about 1-2 hours to download all the upgrades if you are using 1Mbps internet connection. Upgrading will depend on internet speed. So all you have to do is just wait for some time and you are done.
