** Description changed: Hi, I am on a Kubuntu 11.04 64 bit. My problem is that the upgrade notifications for 11.10 are gone. They appeared for a while and suddenly - vanished. Also, it is not possible to upgrade by means of "sudo do- - release-upgrade". Therefore, no online upgrade is possible. + vanished. More information: * In KPackageKit, in "Settings" -> "Edit Software Sources" -> "Updates" -> "Release Upgrade" -> is set to "Normal Releases"; * $ sudo do-release-upgrade -c Checking for a new ubuntu release No new release found * $ do-release-upgrade -c Checking for a new ubuntu release New release 'oneiric' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it. * "$ sudo do-release-upgrade -c -d" or "$ do-release-upgrade -c -d" Checking for a new ubuntu release New release 'oneiric' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it. * "$ sudo do-release-upgrade -c -p" or "$ do-release-upgrade -c -p" Checking for a new ubuntu release New release 'oneiric' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it. * $ /usr/lib/update-manager/check-new-release Checking for a new ubuntu release New release 'oneiric' available.

I have no idea of the reason of this problem. + P.S.: I was able to upgrade by the command "do-release-upgrade". Why + "do-release-upgrade" works while "sudo do-release-upgrade" does not? It + took a while for me to try "do-release-upgrade" and see that the root + password would be asked later. Moreover, with the flags "-c -d" or "-c + -p", the "sudo" command does not seems to affect the result of "do- + release-upgrade". + + I know that "sudo do-release-upgrade -c -d" returned "Run 'do-release- + upgrade' to upgrade to it." instead of "Run 'sudo do-release-upgrade' to + upgrade to it.". However, IMHO, it makes more sense to run it with + "sudo". Maybe, this can be considered an usability problem of "do- + release-upgrade". Thanks, Alessander Go vegan!
