How to update Ubuntu from 16.10 to 17.10? [duplicate]
First I would like to add that this is a hack, and problems may or may not arrise from doing this. I only tried this with Ubuntu Server 16.10.
I managed to upgrade from server release 16.10 to 17.10 by doing the following:
Open /etc/apt/sources.list :
vim /etc/apt/sources.list
Change all references from yakkety to artful:
:%s/yakkety/artful/g
Do an update and upgrade:
apt update && apt upgrade
Reboot the system.
