Hi,
I use Xubuntu 24.10, but have also Ubuntu and Xubuntu 24.10 in Virtualbox. I wanted to try 25.04 (plucky) and tried to upgrade both. I did apt update && apt upgrade
first, reboot, then sudo do-release-upgrade -d.
I get the welcome message, press Y to Continue, then I get this (in both - Ubuntu and Xubuntu):
Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [833 B]
Get:2 Upgrade tool [958 kB]
Fetched 959 kB in 0s (0 B/s)
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeFetcherCore.py:237: Warning: W:Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file 'plucky.tar.gz.gpg' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
result = fetcher.run()
authenticate 'plucky.tar.gz' against 'plucky.tar.gz.gpg'
extracting 'plucky.tar.gz'
Usage: plucky [options]
plucky: error: no such option: --mode
I understand that the “Permission denied for _apt user” is only warning and it’s run as root, but the last line seems like an error and bug.
Anyone tried to upgrade from 24.10 to 25.04 and was successful?
