That makes good sense and also explains a (indirect) comment I saw from a Canonical employee. -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

As I understand it LTS to LTS upgrades don't get enabled in update-manager until the point 1 release. So that would be when 10.04.1 is out in late July. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickReleaseSchedule Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Searches gave a command line string to mave th eLTS to LTS version update, which I have not yet used. However, the System>administration>software sources (updates) is set in my machines (and of my friends' too) to 'LTS releases only'. I hope that an elegant method of LTS to LTS version upgrade will emerge because LTS tends to be used by people who include those less confident. -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Within update manager, you should see a notification that a new version is available, but it'll refer to 9.10 and won't offer 10.04 until the upgrade to 9.10 is done. As it says at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes, "To avoid damaging your running system, upgrading should only be done from one release to the next release (e.g. Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10) or from one LTS release to the next (e.g. Ubuntu 6.06LTS to Ubuntu 8.04LTS). If you wish to 'skip' a version, you can backup your data and do a fresh installation, or progressively upgrade to each successive version." It is possible to miss a version during upgrades, but its normally not recommended as it can break thinigs.
