Dear friends,
Sorry for noobing.
I'm looking the solution a lot of time.
I can't find clear and straight way how to upgrade release of Ubuntu server installed to OpenVZ container.
I have many old containers. Many of them still running Ubuntu 8.04.
I tried official way to install with do-release-upgrade, but many warnings appear and it installs many stuff like plymouth, grub, kernel images, etc.
Is it possible to easy replace old template with a new one?
Am I doomed to live with old containers forever?

i know it sucks, but there's no sollution

just create a new container, install all programs that you need, and move the data ( FTP recommended ) Rolling Eyes

and one more piece of advice, use ubuntu 10.4 NOT 12.4 ( rhel5 ), cause for me it doesn't work on rhel5, if you use rhel6 on your HN, you can use ubuntu 12.4 as a container
