Re: In place upgrade to 18.04 LTS

Hello everyone,

I face this same issue several times with the school and I'm wondering if
there is some guide or advice on how to do the 'backup-reinstall-restore'
part, specifically for the user's accounts and files.  I have tried
different ways before and run into problems with their browser profiles and
file ownership / permissions all changing.  It has in the past resulted in
a mess and I then need to go in and manually update all the accounts which
becomes very taxing!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you
Joseph
