While we are testing the upgrade you will need to edit the distro release meta data path.<br>
In a konsole run:<br>
<code>sudo nano /etc/update-manager/meta-release</code><br>
set<br>
<code>
URI = http://testbed.jriddell.org/meta-release-lts<br>
URI_LTS = http://testbed.jriddell.org/meta-release-lts
</code><br>
then clear the old cache<br>
<code>rm ~/.cache/update-manager-core/meta-release-lts</code><br>
then to start the upgrade process in gui run:
<code>/usr/lib/qt6/bin/qdbus org.kde.kded6 /org/kde/DistroReleaseNotifier org.kde.DistroReleaseNotifier.Poll</code><br>
and use the updater in tray that should appear after a few seconds (see step 3 below)<br>
OR if the command line is your thing run:<br>
<code>DEBUG_UPDATE_MANAGER=1 /usr/share/distro-release-notifier/releasechecker && sudo do-release-upgrade</code><br>
