Actually, this doesn’t quite work:

update-manager –devel-release

Something’s turned the double hyphen into a long dash. It needs to be retyped thus:

update-manager –devel-release

“update-manager -d” works for Xubuntu as well!

keep up the good work!

I just ran the “update-manager -d” a few days ago, to upgrade tot he beta3 and now after the grub all i see is a blinking cursor. The update process went without any problems and asked me to reboot.
Any chance i might be able to rescue it with the Live CD of the 8.10 release?
(same upgrade went perfectly on a virtual box)

You don’t even have to do that.

You can just do “update-manager -d”
