I cant seem to upgrade to 12.04. I have the checkbox checked to inform me of all ubgrades to Ubuntu and it isn't showing up in the upgrade manager. Is this some sort of bug?

12.04 isn't released fully yet. It should be coming out in a week or so. You can download the final beta if you want to.https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta2

Still, I should be able to upgrade to 12.04 according to the Help Wiki (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades). I've followed the directions and it's still not showing up. Am I missing something?

Are you running 11.10 or 10.04?
The upgrade option won't become visible on the update page until the version is released, I believe.

Someone posted the wiki info early :redface:

If you absolutely can't wait open the terminal and run:


update-manager -d -c

NO sudo needed!

But if things blow up don't complain ;)

sudo do-release-upgrade -d

That did it. Still doesn't show up in the upgrade manager, don't know if that is some sort of bug or what. Thanks.

I removed update-manager and replaced it with Synaptic Package Manager

sudo apt-get install synaptic

Your user info says 11.04 , in that case you would only be able to upgrade to 11.10. That option should have been offered in October.

Yeah, I noticed my info indicating that I am still in 11.04. However it is wrong. Regrettably I'm not sure how to change it. I'm downloading 12.04 right now though.

:roll:

Before or after they removed it from the default install?

That's kind of like saying Enlightenment is a better DE because I see more people here with Unity problems than I do with Enlightenment problems posting in the Ubuntu forums.
