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.
How to update Ubuntu from 16.10 to 17.10?
but after reboot it asks for user login and password but after that no menu options are visible. can't do anything. any help will be appreciated to fix the problem and get the GUI back.
I can't get access to terminal. How do I troubleshoot? It looks like upgrade is not successful but don't know how to investigate it.
