Neon/NobleUpgrades

Upgrade Your KDE neon install to Noble 24.04 base.

Make sure that you have your important data backed up before attempting an upgrade!

1) Update your system using Plasma Discover

2) Restart the system to install the updates

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

3) You will be notified of a new release

4) Enter your user password

5) Review the release notes from Ubuntu

6) Upgrader will run

If you have any additional repositories enabled you will get a message similar to this. Click close and you can re-enable the repositories after the upgrade if needed

7) You now get to choose to start the upgrade

8) Have a cup of tea while it downloads and installs the upgrade

7.5) Click Keep to keep the upgrade file settings.

8) Click Remove to remove obsolete packages

9) Click Restart Now

10) Welcome to your updated KDE neon running on Noble 24.04
