Upgrade Trusty to Xenial

[fenris]

I've tried to upgrade from Trusty to Xenial , result ? crash due to missing path and error writing files installations.

Is there inside the milestone to place xenial based bash in future Windows Insiders Fast Ring update?

fenris, Canonical's new image for WSL should be up on the Windows store I think with the next insider update. I don't think it's possible to directly update with any other tool?

WSL currently does not support Xenial officially and that's not on plan for the anniversary update. But, that is definitely something we will be looking to support in (during) the next release.

@fpqc Hi the next insider release has been released is the image on the windows store yet.

[sunilmut]

@FqPc - That is correct, Windows build 14361 has been released to insider preview. But just FYI that the Windows build and the Ubuntu image that comes from the Windows store and not tied together. The are and can be updated independently.

@sunilmut hi is @fpqc correct about the image being updated on the windows store please.

[sunilmut]

@paladox - This is on our radar, but we don't have any ETA on when the Xenial image will be uploaded on the Windows store.

Ok thanks for replying.

I have Xenial (16.04) working in WSL.

@Manouchehri Very nice! Any special workarounds you needed to get this working? I'd be very interested in hearing the process. I'm sure my friend @dustinkirkland from Canonical would be interested too :)

[paladox]

@Manouchehri how did you get it installed please. And did you have to clean install or did you manage to get your files upgraded without loosing any data.

[Manouchehri]

Worked on my first try, nothing too special.

sudo do-release-upgrade -f DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive -d # Screen is broken.

It still gets stuck at a yes/no type prompt, so I ctrl+c'd out. To fix the remaining packages, just run dpkg.

 sudo dpkg --configure -a

After that I ran apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get autoremove.

@Manouchehri thanks, yay it works.
