How to Upgrade Manually to Ubuntu 26.10 "Stonking Stingray"

  With the development cycle for Ubuntu 26.10 officially underway, Canonical has published stonking/snapshot-1 . For early adopters, developers, and enthusiasts looking to ride the absolute edge of the open-source wave, the temptation to jump from the stable shores of 26.04 LTS, Resolute Raccoon, into the development stream is strong. Because the automated release pathways are not populated so early in the cycle, the standard do-release-upgrade -d tool will politely decline to find the new branch. To make the leap, we must step past the guardrails and manage our repository tracking manually. > Important Prerequisite: Upgrading to a day-one snapshot moves your environment into a highly experimental space. Ensure all core personal files, configurations, and local development repositories are thoroughly backed up before executing these steps. Ubuntu 26.04 has transitioned to a modern, structured deb822 formatting layout for core package sources. This means standard mod...

Install Tokio runtime


  1. Ensure Rust is Installed
    If you haven't installed Rust yet, make sure to do so using rustup:

    winget install -e --id Rustlang.Rustup
    
  2. Create a New Rust Project
    If you're starting fresh, create a new Rust project:

    cargo new my_project
    cd my_project
    
  3. Add Tokio as a Dependency
    Open the Cargo.toml file in your project and add Tokio:

    [dependencies]
    tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
    

    Alternatively, you can run:

    cargo add tokio --features full
    
  4. Write a Basic Tokio Application
    Now, create a simple async function in main.rs:

    use tokio::time::{sleep, Duration};
    
    #[tokio::main]
    async fn main() {
        println!("Hello, Tokio!");
        sleep(Duration::from_secs(2)).await;
        println!("Done!");
    }
    
  5. Build and Run
    Compile and execute your program:

    cargo run
