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 want to use do-release-upgrade to upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04, but I can't do that do-release-upgrade Checking for a new Ubuntu release There is no development version of an LTS available.  It seems that  is used, and it still points to 18.04. Do you know when (or how?) can I upgrade to 20.04?

I have Ubuntu 10 server and want to update a package to newer version (update rrdtool from 1.3.8 to current 1.4.5). What should I do? Download and build sources or get package from newer distribution? And how to do that?

Ever since I upgraded to 13.10, the software updater does not show all the available updates. Some will appear and can be installed just fine, but once it claims that all software is up to date, using sudo apt-get upgrade shows that there are still more packages waiting to be updated. I can update them via the command line, but that only solves things temporarily. I'm not sure why some show up and others don't. How can I make Update Manager update all packages?  Update-manager shows this:    But apt-get shows this:   Thanks!

I've been trying to upgrade my installation of Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10, but all of the instructions I've found haven't been helping. They mostly say to run the update manager and it'll tell you that there's a new distribution ready. Well, mine doesn't say that.  Things I've run or checked:   update-manager -d says:     Your system is up-to-date   The package information was last updated less than one hour ago.  I've set it to get all new distributions, not just LTS  $ cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [DEFAULT] # default prompting behavior, valid options: #  never  - never prompt for a new distribution version #  normal - prompt if a new version of the distribution is available #  lts    - prompt only if a LTS version of the distribution is available Prompt=normal  I'm definitely running 9.04  $ lsb_release -r Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description:    Ubuntu 9.04 Release:        9.04 Codename:       jaunty  Even running the release upgrade from console doesn't help:  $ sudo do-release-upgrade  Checking for a new ubuntu release No new release found    This is running from behind a proxy, but I've set it up such that the regular upgrades and apt-get etc doesn't complain. (export http_proxy=http://myuser:mypass@myserver:8080/)  Could you think of anything else which might be stopping me from upgrading?

After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, I tried to use the new software center that came along with it, but I found it to have a few issues. One, it didn't detect all the applications I had previously installed and two, whenever I tried installing new software with it, a new icon on the launcher (saying "Waiting to Install") appears, but no progress is made and the icon is stuck on the launcher.   However, I don't encounter any of these issues in the older Software Center. Does anybody know why this may be?

I have a laptop with Ubuntu 17.04 desktop installed. And I noticed that Ubuntu has just announced their new version (17.10). However, when I'm trying to open update-manager, it just tells me that I have the newest version.  Also, when I type the sudo do-release-upgrade command on the terminal, it tells me the same thing (No new release found.)  Is there any reasons for that, and what can I do? or should I just wait for that version, to get to the server?

When I attempt to upgrade Ubuntu from 17.10 to 18.04, the Update Manger says "Your computer is up-to-date."  Why isn't it detecting the new release?

If I install Ubuntu 18.10 (non LTS) now, then follow all the releases until next year where we will get the next LTS, will I (next year) be able to install the new LTS from my non LTS? I am not talking about downgrading, but upgrading to the next LTS from a non LTS system.

Yesterday I started the upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04, but I interrupted it because it was taking too long. Now if I restart it, it doesn't proceed.  Is there any possibility to clean the mess it left when I interrupted it and make a clean restart of this update?

I was under the impression that upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 was supported from all version between and including the previous LTS release (12.04). Why is it then, that update-manager (with and without -d option) will only offer to upgrade to version 13.10 from my Ubuntu 12.10 system? Even that only works when I change the updater settings from "For long-term support versions" to "For any new version."  Is it only possible to upgrade to 14.04 via 13.10?

I am currently using Ubuntu 12.04.2 32bit. I installed it using LiveCD.  Tomorrow, 23rd August 2013,Ubuntu 12.04.3 is released. I want to upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04.2 to Ubuntu 12.04.3 without using any LiveCD. Is it possible? If so please suggest me how can I do.  Actually while using Ubuntu 12.04.2 I have troubled with graphics. My graphics card is Intel i845G 64 MB. When Ubuntu starts it works fine and smooth without any lagging, but after sometime it hangs for few seconds (1 or 2 seconds) with a garbage screen and becomes sluggish. All windows and browsers start lagging and also it is not possible to play any video in any player (VLC, Movie Player, Xnoise, SMPlayer etc..).  I think Upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04.3 could fix my problem.  Any help will be greatly appreciated..    I've posted an answer to upgrade Ubuntu 12.04.x to 12.04.4.
