I’m using Ubuntu Server 18.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-58-generic x86_64) to run a headless server for our home network. During a recent maintenance session I noticed that I could upgrade to a 20.04 version of Ubuntu Server after updating the existing system. When I ran the command to update the system I encountered an error, see code...
I’m only somewhat proficient at the terminal, and wondered if anyone could help me to understand the right commands/process to correct these errors? Thanks…
