Ubuntu upgrade from 18.04 lts to 20.04 lts

The latest version of Ubuntu is 20.04.lts and is named as “Focal Fossa”. 

To start with the upgrade the first and foremost thing is to backup 

the server . The rest procedure is as follows:



The current os version can be recorded from /etc/os-release file.















Once done with backup we need to update all packages of ubuntu 18.04 

to latest by running the command


sudo apt update










After successful update just upgrade all the installed packages to

latest using the command


sudo apt upgrade













Now remove all unused old kernels as they wont be used any further

removing them might help us clear some space on the disk.


sudo apt --purge autoremove










Install update-manager-core package if not already installed.












Now upgrade the system to latest lts.


sudo do-release-upgrade









If you come across an output like this :


Checking for a new Ubuntu release

There is no development version of an LTS available.

To upgrade to the latest non-LTS development release 

set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.



Use the following command to upgrade the system forcefully 

using -d option with the command used above.


sudo do-release-upgrade -d 

























































Once upgrade is complete reboot the system .


After reboot we you can check the /etc/os-release file to confirm 

the updated version.

Setting up X11 Access to the Solaris GUI Gnome Desktop

How to   access the GUI desktop environment on a Solaris 11 SPARC server from Windows, MAC, Solaris or Linux desktop computer. As most of the time SPARC based servers are installed using the Oracle Solaris 11 Text  Installer (installing the solaris-large-server group of software packages), the desktop  environment is not installed (mostly to keep the system lightweight) . So the only option for connecting remotely to the server is with an SSH client and a command line interface  (Known as Terminal). Most widely used software to connect to a command line is Putty. For beginners , who haven’t worked on any unix/linux system , it takes time to adjust to the commands and syntax of terminals (The so called black screen).   Installation Overview To accomplish our task   we will   follow these three steps: 1.
