How do I upgrade to the development release (aka. Ubuntu+1)?

I am currently running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS but I am wondering how can you update from 12.04 to 12.10? Do you need to download the cd or you can simply update it from the update manager? Thanks in advance!

    I'd wait until it is officially released and then use the update manager. – nanofarad Oct 06 '12 at 13:59
  • In addition, usually you don't really need to upgrade. If stability matters it is often a better idea to stay for a while with the current release. – Takkat Oct 06 '12 at 15:49

Upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Open Software Sources.

Switch to the Updates tab and set Notify me of a new Ubuntu version to For any new version. Press Alt+F2 and type in update-manager -d (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '12.10' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

To upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a server system:

Ensure that /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades includes Prompt=Normal.
