Last week, the first point release of Ubuntu 24.04<\/a> LTS was made available, with upgrades from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to the new version officially supported.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

However, these upgrades were problematic for some users, whether on Ubuntu server or desktop versions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In response, Canonical has temporarily halted upgrades to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as its developers address the issues.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Recently, the \u2018noble\u2019 release was removed from the meta-release-lts<\/code> file (which Ubuntu systems use to check for new releases), stopping users from upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS through official channels.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Folks attempting to upgrade, but suddenly finding they couldn\u2019t, were left wondering why.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In reply, Canonical explains that it halted upgrades “due to a critical bug in ubuntu-release-upgrader in the way it\u2019s using the apt solver”<\/em> (though other recurring issues have been reported on Launchpad and mentioned on social media in the past week).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Of course, issues ought to be expected in any major OS upgrade, especially for LTS-to-LTS transitions, as upgrading an extensive foundational stack that\u2019s 2 years old is far from trivial. Even the most attentive testing prior to release won\u2019t uncover every edge-case calamity in time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Plus, this isn\u2019t the first time Noble<\/em><\/a> upgrades have caused issues. When Ubuntu 24.04 LTS was released in April, users on Ubuntu 23.10 were able to upgrade, but later advised not<\/em> to<\/em> due to critical bugs (unrelated to this one).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Developers are currently addressing the problem that leads to failures in LT-to-LTS upgrades for certain users, and until the necessary repairs are implemented, these upgrades will be on hold.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Once resolved and confirmed stable, upgrades from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 LTS will be reactivated.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

However, even after these upgrades are available again, it is advisable for users planning to update to have recovery resources readily available, such as a bootable Ubuntu installer on a USB drive, as a precaution.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
