I would like to know if it is possible to update from Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS to Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS.

There are so called "point releases" for LTS versions of Ubuntu. 10.04.3 for instance.  What are those "point releases" releases?

As of 8/2 I'm still unable to upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 using the do-release-upgrade command. Still "No new release found." I don't remember it ever taking this long before. And I'd rather not use -d , cause I want to stay on the LTS.  I know they said it'd be a few days, but it's been like a week.. Was there an unexpected delay or something?

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Today when I logged into my computer I got an update alert saying that I could upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. The other options were not now or do not upgrade. If I chose to upgrade will it delete my /home directories and the installed software under /opt and /usr/local ?

So I have Ubuntu installed on my pc, and I want to upgrade to the new Ubuntu which was just released. When I check for any new updates it doesn't show any upgrades to the new release. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Question is about Ubuntu release process. Are migrations from n to n+1 releases expected?  Assuming we have server with installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Will it be smoothly upgradable to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS via apt-get upgrade ?  Assumptions:   scope is software therefore we assume that given hardware is supported on both releases (upgrading from and to) that's why, always before upgrade you are asked to make backup to be able to revert in case of failure

When I upgrade from one version of Ubuntu to the next, the upgrade tool rightly disables all my PPAs, so that software compiled for or otherwise tied to the old version of Ubuntu does not interfere with the new version that I just upgraded to.  Is there any way to automatically re-enable and update any PPAs that provide packages for the new version of Ubuntu? For example, suppose I'm currently running Maverick, and I have two PPAs enabled, "foo" and "bar". Suppose that "foo" provides packages for both Maverick and Natty, while "bar" provides packages for Natty only. Is there a tool I could run after updating to Natty that would re-enable my "foo" PPA and update it to point to the Natty packages, while leaving the "bar" PPA disabled?

As you can see in the image above, I tried to update to 19.10 and it says that   No new release found   I checked the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to see if the Prompt is LTS but it is still normal.  What would be your advice?  UPDATE: I already updated the system to 19.10. Thank you very much for the advices.

How to disallow Ubuntu to upgrade from like 11.10 to 12.04?  I know that its your wish if you want to upgrade, but I don't want the message in update manager that says a new release is available to get displayed.  All help will be appreciated

I'm pretty new to running linux, but I know that 19.04 was released today and I wanted to upgrade from my current 18.10. However, when I follow the release notes here:  I get the message "The software on this computer is up to date". I made sure that my update settings are set to "any new version" and "normal" in the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file.   What am I doing wrong?  Thanks for the help!  Side note: I had to disable this PPA:  because it would cause errors in apt updating. Do I need to re-add it? If so how do I do so without it giving me an error?  Edit: I have followed the procedure recommended in the documentation which is identical to the suggested duplicate, but I am not given the option to upgrade. I have not yet tried the   do-release-upgrade -d    option as I don't want to upgrade to the developer version.

If there is a new release/major update of a program (e.g. Rhythmbox 2.97, Skype 4.0 or Gimp 2.8), is there an easy way to tell whether and when they will make it to the current official Ubuntu release repositories (especially to the LTS release, e.g. Ubuntu 12.04)? Or whether it will never be added to the official repositories, so I don't need to wait and just install it through an added PPA/repository?    I would like to use the program updates, but preferably when they are well tested and adjusted to the Ubuntu release I use (easily updated by the update manager). But some programs seem to never be added/updated and as I want to stick to the LTS release, I would need to add another repository. I know that there are restrictions to what will be updated (, ). But for example Firefox and Thunderbird are now regularly updated and Gimp 2.8 might be available in the backports. There is list of , but I don't find Firefox, Thunderbird (or Gimp) on it, although they are updated.  I just want to know how to find out whether there is an easy way to know (e.g. one webpage) which programs will be added/updated in the official Ubuntu repositories. Or do we have to ask a question on Askubuntu for every single program?

I have Git version 1.5.4.3 installed, but I think this must be an old version. I'm running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04. I need to install at least version 1.6 to get a Git GUI to work. How do I upgrade my installation?  Update: I managed to upgrade my installation of Git, but I also realized that my version of Ubuntu was old so I upgraded to the newest version, which automatically gave me access to newer packages (including Git).

I am unable to find the link for downloading Ubuntu 16.04 onto my   desktop/laptop. I am able to see the link only for 18.04, but I need 16.04.

I wanted to upgrade to 14.04.2 point release from 14.04.  What I did was:  sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get upgrade &amp;&amp;  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y   Then I wanted to upgrade to 3.16 kernel, since it wasn't done with the the above command, so what I did was:  sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-lts-utopic libegl1-mesa-drivers-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-utopic xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-utopic sudo apt-get install linux-signed-generic-lts-utopic   Now when I do:   uname -a I get   Linux Y500 3.16.0-33-generic #44~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 13 10:33:29 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux  cat /etc/os-release | grep VERSION= I get  VERSION="14.04.2 LTS, Trusty Tahr"   And when I do lsb_release -a I get  Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release:    14.04 Codename:   trusty   I know that uname -a and lsb_release -a both refer to different info, but why does  cat /etc/os-release | grep VERSION= show different version?

How do I upgrade to the unreleased version of Ubuntu for testing?

Anyway....there is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and the normal 12.10 version. Is that the same with Lubuntu? On their site, for some reason, they seem to be promoting the 12.10 version while for me an LTS is always more appealing. I am wondering if they have the same ideology as the Ubuntu team.  UPDATE: Is it okay to talk about Lubuntu here at all? I understand that it is a flavour of Ubuntu...but still. Are they 2 very different teams?

I want to know where I can find updated information about all the stable and in-development versions of Ubuntu, where I can find this information?     This question is meant to be a canonical question. It expects to answer the following questions:         Is X version stable yet?   Is X version in beta?   Is X version still supported?   What versions are still supported?   What are the versions in Beta/Alpha?   Until where X version will be supported?   Have X version ceased support?   When will be X version released?   Where I can download any release?   When will the next LTS version of Ubuntu be released?         The list is not exhaustive.
