Open the file /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades...

Continue running under SSH?

This session appears to be running under ssh. It is not recommended
to perform a upgrade over ssh currently because in case of failure it
is harder to recover.

If you continue, an additional ssh daemon will be started at port
'9004'.
Do you want to continue?

Continue [yN] <-- y

Confirm that you want to do the upgrade:

Do you want to start the upgrade?


4 packages are going to be removed. 46 new packages are going to be
installed. 429 packages are going to be upgraded.

You have to download a total of 228M. This download will take about 2
minutes with your connection.

Fetching and installing the upgrade can take several hours. Once the
download has finished, the process cannot be cancelled.

 Continue [yN]  Details [d] <-- y

You might see the following message (Continue without installing GRUB?). Like in the desktop upgrade, I had to answer Yes. As I understand it this means that the system will continue to use the old boot loader.

Continue without installing GRUB? <-- Yes

At the end of the upgrade process, you should remove obsolete packages:

44 packages are going to be removed.

 Continue [yN]  Details [d] <-- y

The server needs to be rebooted to complete the upgrade:

System upgrade is complete.

Restart required

To finish the upgrade, a restart is required.
If you select 'y' the system will be restarted.

Continue [yN] <-- y

After the reboot, your server is running Ubuntu 10.04.

Set Sync Clock n Date with NTP Server

sync with an ntp server using:

ntpdate <ip @ url>

rdate -s <ip @ url>

@@@@@ follow this step --->

1. Firstly, check whether the selected NTP server is accessible:

# ntpdate -q <ip address @ url>

For example:

# ntpdate -q 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org

2. When you find a satisfactory server, run the ntpdate command followed by one or more server addresses:

# ntpdate server_address

For instance:

# ntpdate 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org 1.rhel.pool.ntp.org

3. In most cases, these steps are sufficient. Only if you really need one or more system services to always use the correct time, enable running the ntpdate at boot time:

# chkconfig ntpdate on

NOTE :

If the synchronization with the time server at boot time keeps failing, i.e., you find a relevant error message in the /var/log/boot.log system log, try to add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/network:

NETWORKWAIT=1
