Easy way to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Linux ( Focal Fossa )

After a few weeks of Beta testing, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Linux is now finally out with improved security and new software features. If you have been using an older Ubuntu version like 18.04, 18.10, 19.04, 19.10, etc, it's easy to upgrade to the new Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa via command line.

 How to upgrade?
  • Open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T )
  • Type in "update-manager -d" command and enter
After entering that command, Ubuntu will check for a new version upgrade. However, if there are pending updates for your system, you would need to install those first before Ubuntu to show you an option to upgrade to 20.04.

So, after updating everything on your system, try the above command again.

If you want to try this latest version from scratch, you can download the .iso file from the official website and create a bootable USB drive. You can also boot it as a Live CD and try if everything works well on your hardware, before Installing it on to the hard drive. 

Find Ubuntu 20.04 ISO download link for 64-bit Desktop here.

I have been using a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard for a while now with my Ubuntu 20.04. Everything worked well without any issues until one day the operating system refused to turn on the Bluetooth.

Reduce External Monitor Brightness on Ubuntu 20.04, 21.10

External Monitors are a great addition to any workspace. I have a Full HD Benq one connected with my laptop via HDMI cable to do multi-tasking. What I don't like about this setup is the external screen is still very bright even after setting it to the lowest possible setting via physical buttons present on the monitor. Changing brightness on the Laptop doesn't affect the brightness of the external monitor. However, In Ubuntu, you can adjust the brightness level of any connected monitor by opening up a terminal/command line and entering a few comments. Xrandr is the command we would be using to achieve this. How to change External Monitor Brightness on Ubuntu Linux Open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T ) Enter the command xrandr -q | grep " connected" and press Enter.
