Nothing is showing up when I use the usual way of upgrading.  Why?

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.

I am looking at using  , but I am not sure how easy it is to update a distribution when a new version comes out.  Also, can I use drush to do it, or do I have to manually download and unpack the distribution?

I have several systems. Some are 16.04 mini-servers and I cannot update the OS yet. The others have been updated to Ubuntu 18.04. (The 18.04 version I used has Python 3.6.5 on it).

How do I upgrade my iPad 3 from iOS 5.1 to 7.x (now when the latest version is >8)?

During a complicated update I might prefer to display all the changes at once. I know there is a method that allows me to do this, but what is it?

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on an Asus K53E laptop with 8 GB RAM. I check for updates to the software daily. If there are no updates, it asks me if I want to upgrade? What does upgrade exactly mean? Will my personal files still be there? Will it wipe EVERYTHING and give me a completely new installation of Ubuntu? Or will it allow me to keep my files and applications, and merely upgrade the OS?  When I upgrade my Mac or Windows machines, my personal files remain available after the upgrade. Does Ubuntu do the same, or are there completely different "rules"?

I followed these instructions to upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04:    I understand the  was 2 days ago. However, when I run the following as instructed:  Press Alt+F2 and type update-manager -c -d into the command box.    The popup shows:    I want the final release, not the development release.  I am following the official ubuntu instructions.  What am I doing wrong?  These are my update settings, which should just be LTS:

This is just silly:    If I try accepting (no, I wouldn't go through with it), it just says that the update is unavailable.  So why does it ask me to downgrade, and how do I get rid of this?

I haven't seen this message from Update Manager before, and I have not been able to google up any info.  What will be installed when I click Install?  (Clicking "Description of Update" got me nothing...)

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, on a 64-bit system.   There are two available updates in "Updates" section of the Ubuntu Software, named OS Updates and Software respectively:      I usually update through Software Updater utility, (and occasionally used sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade as recommended by some software installation tutorials)- anything that I think is required. So why is Ubuntu Software showing these updates? Should I install them?  As far as I know, these types of updates, if you look at the list, aren't ever available in the Software Updater.

I often get an error saying      unable to update ICE authority.    Is there a way out of this?

I have seen and used all of these commands to upgrade packages on my system, but why are there different commands for this? Do they all not do the same thing? And if not, then in which situations would it be better to use a specific one of them?  These are the commands I mean:   sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt full-upgrade   I have already looked at this, but it does not answer my question about the command sudo apt full-upgrade:

There was an update for  today, and it wasn't installable due to unresolved dependencies. How can I correct this?

I decided to update to Oneiric using the update manager. At some point, I got this message:     The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).   Then, later on:     The upgrade has completed but there were errors during the upgrade process.   What can I do?  EDIT: Update manager offers to perform a 'Partial Upgrade'. "865 updates have been selected. The updates have already been downloaded, but not installed". It still gives the option to upgrade to 11.10

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and although I would like to upgrade to 14.04 LTS, I don't want to have any troubles after upgrading. For example, I don't know if I can no longer use some of my software and have to reinstall it.  I'm also worry if my computer have the system requirements necessary to 14.04 LTS version.  That's why I'm asking if it is necessary to upgrade, I mean, will be any problem if I skip the upgrade? Can I stand in 12.04 LTS forever?
