I'm looking for a little advice, I would like to do an upgrade preferably through the update manager from my current 10.10 32bit Ubuntu Box, to 12.04 64bit, can anyone think of anyway I could do this without doing a full re-install of my linux partition? My reckoning is even if I tell the update manager to just goahead and do it, it will install 12.04 32bitany advice?
Automagically upgrade Ubuntu 10.10 32bit to 12.10 64bit
ubuntu;system installation
Technically, 'yes' you can do this. It's not really a great idea and there's no way I know of at least do this 'automatically' or through update manager. It will be cleaner and less of a headache in the end to just do a clean install, go 14.04 as mentioned above also. Here's a link to a previously answered question. It does have a walk through, but you'll have to drop into command line to do this.
