How do I perform network upgrade for Kubuntu Desktops from version 8.10 to 9.04 over the Internets / network?

To upgrade from 8.10 to Kubuntu 9.04, over the Internet, use the following procedure.

Click on the update notifier icon when it prompts that a new version is available, or press alt-F2 and run the following command:
update-notifier-kde -u

Kubuntu Upgrade Notifier
Kubuntu Upgrade Notifier

Click Yes to start the upgrade.

Follow the prompts i.e. on-screen instructions.

  1. Didn’t work, only manage to get this error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File “/usr/bin/update-notifier-kde”, line 28, in
    from PyKDE4.kdecore import *
    RuntimeError: the sip module supports API v3.0 to v3.7 but the PyKDE4.kdecore module requires API v3.8

    Tried Synaptic upgrade after that and did the job.
