I have a box running 24.10. I did not upgrade to 25.04 because I have several VMs, and release notes at the time recommended against upgrading. And apparently upgrading to 25.04 causes loss of virtual machines (is this still the case?).
See bug report “I upgrade from 24.10 to 25.04 and my virtual machine is gone” (sorry, I can’t paste links here).
What is the appropriate upgrade path to 25.10? Ideally I don’t want to lose my virtual machines, is there an upgrade path for them?
I tried looking here at the 25.10 upgrade paths page (again can’t use links):
But it seems to suggest that I need to go via 25.04, and if 25.04 doesn’t support my VMs, that doesn’t seem correct.
But maybe my information is dated, I see 25.04.02 has in its release notes: “(Updated for 25.04.2) Reintroduced “classic virtualization” with the [Virtual Machines] feature.”
Does this mean it is not safe for me to upgrade to 25.04 and then 25.10?
