Hi, You can do sudo update-manager -d from the terminal, but I have never had good results from doing it this way. Thee's another command you can use from the big terminal but I don't exactly remember the syntax. It was something like sudo do-release-upgrade. I thik that may be the way to go for a speech enabled upgrade with speakup. HTH Storm
