Not when configured to show only LTS releases, which is the default if
(as the OP) you're running 10.04 LTS; in that case you'll get those
listed in http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts-development,
i.e. -d => 12.04.

Upgrades to 12.04 will become available to 10.04 users by default (i.e.
without -d) when 12.04.1 is released.

Yup. It will appear soon. Usually around 12.04.1 which is scheduled
for mid July. I asked around and there's no known bugs in the upgrade,
so you could upgrade directly from 10.04 to 12.04 now, but it's safer
to wait.



Hi,

thanks for the info in the process of backing up some important bits, 
will atempt sys upgrade tomorrow, after running apt-get install 
ubuntu-desktop^


will report on list any issues (hopefully none :) ) I encounter unless 
easily solved (lost bookmarks, passwords etc)

I believe that update-manager -d will take you to the next version / next
LTS version based on the version you are running, so I don't think there is
any danger of hitting Quantal  unless you hit update-manager -d on Precise.

um, do be careful not to accidentally overshoot and upgrade to Quantal 
Quetzal! upgrade-manager -d will show releases in development, which 
might not be what you are after.

I believe 12.04.1 will show in update manager when set to show LTS versions
only.

10.10 will show as the next version, upgrades jumping versions except LTS
to LTS are not supported, so 11.04 and 11.10 will not be shown.

You can do "update-manager -d" However I would wait till there is a
clear upgrade path, or do a fresh install to get around it.

Hello, open a terminal and type "update-manager -d" without quotes.

This should give you access to the distribution update button.

I dont know if this would work but would burning a dvd of 12.04 lts and
mounting it on your machine not allow you to update anyway???

[ubuntu-uk] Lucid Update Manager not informing Me of LTS upgrade

[Pete Smout]

Hi,
I have 1 remaining machine to upgrade to 12.04 (my main desktop / 
server) and it is running 10.04 lucid (fully updated as of now), yet the 
graphical update manager is not informing me that an upgrade is possible 
even though I have it set to show LTS versions only.


If I set it to 'normal releases' it shows 10.10 as available but no 
mention of the 11's or the new LTS. When switched back to show LTS 
versions only it still shows 10.10 as being available?


Is this normal?

Please note if I wish I can do a dist upgrade via teminal I know but 
less knowledgeable(?!?) users who are relatively new to the LINUX world 
may be unaware / scared of this way of doing it.


Kind regards

Pete
