How do you upgrade to 18.10 from disk?

So I have this Kubuntu VM installed ... unfortunately, I never bothered to install updates.



That wasn't an issue until recently, when I needed to get some new packages and just couldn't.



So I went online and turns out, I still have 17.04 ... whose directories have been taken down.



How do I upgrade from disk? I remember earlier ubuntu derivates gave you the option to when you put in a boot disk, but this time, it's just "Try 18.10" or "Install 18.10".



The VM took some time to set up and there's some data on it that should be properly backed up but I've been too paranoid to actually delete. (Most of my data is in shared folders with the windows host, anyway, but in this particular instance, I had run into permission issues with the files, so I moved them to VM memory.)



So I'd really hate to re-setup the whole thing. -.-



Is there an option to upgrade the running System from the iso?






upgrade virtualbox kubuntu 17.04 18.10

  • quick and dirty: sudo sed 's/zesty/bionic/g' /etc/apt/sources.list -- this changes the repositories to the 18.04 ones -- afterwards: sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade and pray ;) -- better you first backup your important data

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

Image
0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct. In the documentation of Tabulator is example how to create header and table, var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", { columns:[ {title:"Name", field:"name", sorter:"string", width:200, editor:true}, {title:"Age", field:"age", sorter:"...
