sudo do-release-upgrade

...

Setting up libnih1:amd64 (1.0.3-6ubuntu2) ...

If it freezes here

Open another terminal or something and restart the system.

(Just in case, check top to see if there are any running processes)

$ sudo reboot

After rebooting,

$ sudo apt update

When you try this

Since such an error appeared

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt upgrade -y

If errors occur, error handling commands are often displayed, so read them carefully and

sudo apt update -y; sudo apt upgrade -y;

Make sure no errors are displayed, and once the errors are gone

sudo reboot

Pitfall

If you are using venv linked to Python 3.5 -> Python 3.6, it will break. Since it's an opportunity, you should recreate the venv with Python 3.6.

python3.6 -m venv venv

When installing MySQL 5.7, there might be a conflict, and mysql-server may not be installed.

Errors were encountered while processing: mysql-server-5.7 mysql-server Error in function:

*** Send problem report to the developers?

After the problem report has been sent, please fill out the form in the automatically opened web browser.

What would you like to do? Your options are: S: Send report (389.0 KB) V: View report K: Keep report file for sending later or copying to somewhere else I: Cancel and ignore future crashes of this program version C: Cancel

After cancelling, remove it temporarily

sudo apt remove mysql-server

It might be easier to reinstall after the upgrade is complete. Be sure to back up the DB just in case.

sudo apt install mysql-server
