Q: MAJOR Known Issues with Upgrades - Known Active Issue

All: We are aware of heavily observed bugs in the Ubuntu upgrades processes. To that end, the Release Team disabled the upgrade routes to 25.04 currently. Additionally, there is an issue with the ISOs currently known for Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Studio, and Calamares-based installers where things are n...

@ArturMeinild In my opinion their question is okay. They want another approach than what is offered in the suggested dupe. They are allowed to ask such a question since the answer they were looking for wasn't in the dupe.

Here it is, in case you needed for another time. You should be able to find the installed filesystem by opening your file manager and clicking on + Other Locations. Then just clicking the file system should mount it.

A year ago today I joined AskUbuntu and asked my first question. @ArturMeinild answered, and in short order my problem was solved. I was so impressed and happy with the experience that I decided to stick around. I quickly realized that there was a wealth of knowledge here, and that by trying to help others I’d be learning more myself. Anyway, many thanks to Artur and all of the AskUbuntu community. I’ve learned quite a bit about Ubuntu so far and look forward to continuing the journey.

@RandomPerson The AI issue is just the tip of the iceberg. Yes, we have a problem with AI, but we have an even bigger problem with the company (SE) imposing policy that goes against site consensus, breaking their promises, and telling mods one thing in public and something else in private. See meta.stackexchange.com/q/389811/241717 for more detail.

@BeastOfCaerbannog Eh, it's complicated. We hate Kali questions at U&L. They're on topic, but the thing is that many people seem to think Kali is "cool" so they use it without actually being experts so everything is hard for them. For instance, Kali ships with networking disabled and that confuses people. We (U&L) are sick and tired of "script kiddies" who saw Mr Robot and think that using Kali will make them into "hackers".

If anybody is remotely interested, I've discovered that the nala repo now tries to install an invalid Python version on Ubuntu 22.04, which could lead to problems.
