Trying to do the upgrade of kubuntu from 19.04 to 19.10 Non-LTS versions are allowed (Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades)  update-manager says my system is up to date. Running do-release-upgrade produces "No new release found"  do-release-upgrade -d shows: "Upgrades to the development release are only available from the latest supported release."  Any ideas why I can't upgrade?  Thanks, Rudolf

Recently I have installed an older version of Ubuntu on my old machine. Whenever I try to install any software, I get an error saying it couldn't be found:  $ sudo apt-get install vlc Reading package lists... Done                Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done     E: Couldn't find package vlc

Why is it that Ubuntu only support a version for a limited time? Since I have been on this site I have seen many references to particular versions not being supported. What does it actually mean? After this time must a user just use the OS in the state it is in at the date that support ends? Does this mean no more package updates are available?   Or when this support date has elapsed, should the user then abandon the version and install a newer version instead? I am slightly confused with the difference between Ubuntu and Linux here (with Windows you use it until you buy the latest version) and would be grateful if someone could explain the Ubuntu 'lifecycle' (if that is a suitable word). Thanks in advance for your help.

I normally use Software Updater to keep the system updated. However I occasionally will run apt-get upgrade from the terminal and I've notice there are times when Software Updater says there are no available updates but apt-get update shows some updates to packages.  I haven't been able to figure out why.

From the usability point of view, I do not understand why on each release upgrade you have to manually patch all the URLs of apt in order to make them point to the newer distribution.  Why is not possible for apt to auto-detect the current and use it, so when you upgrade there is no need to upgrade the urls anymore?

Does anyone know the (specific) reasons that it is recommended that old LTS server users wait until the point release to upgrade?  Is it just a matter of bug fixes and waiting for improved stability for production servers, or is there something more fundamental than that?

Just what the title says. The update manager is also asking me to update to Ubuntu 12.10 even when I have the part unchecked that says "Check for new Ubuntu version updates" thing. Is there some way to turn the annoying update manager off?

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 an Asus K55V and I'm wondering which version of Ubuntu I should be attempting to use. The website offers 12.04 (LTS) and 12.10.

We know that do-release-upgrade “does a release upgrade”. But at a little lower level what does it really do?  I plan to do a more manual upgrade, for instance the Debian way: aptitude update and aptitude full-upgrade after setting up the sources. Actually, I plan to do it entirely interactive with aptitude. But that leaves me curious about what else do-relase-upgrade does, except hosing up my sources.list.

I am trying to upgrade to a new Ubuntu version but the update manager does not recognize an update. Why not?

I just did a do-release-upgrade going from Ubuntu 16.04 to 17.04. However, now when I login via SSH I have the following message   Welcome to Ubuntu 17.04 (GNU/Linux 4.10.0-20-generic x86_64)   * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com  * Management:     https://landscape.canonical.com  * Support:        https://ubuntu.com/advantage  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS end-of-life was April 28, 2017 -- Upgrade your Precise systems!  $ sudo do-release-upgrade -m server  0 packages can be updated. 0 updates are security updates.   My question is, how can I remove the   Ubuntu 12.04 LTS end-of-life was April 28, 2017 -- Upgrade your Precise systems!  $ sudo do-release-upgrade -m server   it wasn't there prior the release-upgrade  I checked and I am on Zesty  lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description:    Ubuntu 17.04 Release:    17.04 Codename:   zesty   My question is not, how can I remove this message, this I found. My question is more, is there a reason why this appears after a release-upgrade? Is this message something generic not taking into consideration the current version of Ubuntu? Or maybe my system is not updated properly?

I am trying to install current stable version 0.12.1, but it only installs 0.9.9. Any chance to install latest version with apt-get install? It seems that 0.9.9 is very old :(

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 15.04 64-bit to Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit. I read that 15.10 was using the 4.1 or 4.2 kernel, but I noticed that my kernel didn't upgrade.  When I type in the terminal uname -r, I get 3.19.0-18-generic  Same thing in GRUB: the only kernel I can choose is 3.19.0-18  Can someone explain how to upgrade the kernel?

I upgraded from 18.04 to 19.10 some months ago and now I want to upgrade to 20.04. But update-manager -c doesn't show the new Ubuntu release 20.04.  Isn't the upgrade ready yet? Is it possible to upgrade to 20.04 from 19.10 now?

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.

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...)
