                    <div>
                        Hello all

So Im pretty new to linux, I understand the basic commands and I have to upgrade my servers to 8.04. I have 1 and 7.04 and 1 and 7.10. Im trying to upgrade the one at 7.04 and I was able to download and update all of the old updates from the old repositories. I was then able to install the update-manager-core.

However when I try to run the command do-release-upgrade i get the following errors.

# do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new ubuntu release
Failed Upgrade tool signature
Failed Upgrade tool

extracting '/tmp/tmpQPspbm/gutsy.tar.gz'

fileobj = file(name, mode + &quot;b&quot;)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/tmpQPspbm/gutsy.tar.gz'


Can anyone help please?</div>

                        I suggest posting at www.linuxforums.org/forum, since linux.com is being redone.  If at all possible, I would also suggest doing a clean install rather than trying to upgrade through two versions like that.  Probably the issue is that neither 7.04 or 7.10 are supported anymore and the web address for the repositories has changed - I think to here: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/.  You'll need to redo your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list), to have the correct repository addresses.                    </div>

You should post this in a new thread. You can change your system to boot to runlevel 3 by editing the file /etc/inittab. Change the line that reads &quot;id:5:initdefault:&quot; to read &quot;id:3:initdefault:&quot; - then reboot. That will make your system boot to a text login prompt and log you in to the command line.<p class="hiddensignature">
