    Re: kubuntu 12.04 LTS Upgrade Not Found

    Thank you guys.
    I have read the page about upgrade and didn't notice that line in the picture.
    The -d switch probably does the trick - for me as I'm at 10.04.4 now.

    Also the method with lower level commands (apt-get) is very nice.

    The do-release-upgrade with switches is working for me. Thank you.

    According to PP Release Notes:

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePango...untu_12.04_LTS

    Upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

    It is generally recommended that users of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS wait until the first point release, due in July, before upgrading.

    To upgrade from 10.04 LTS on a desktop system before then, upgrade over the network with the following procedure.

    1. Start System/Administration/Software Sources
    2. On the Updates tab, set Show new distribution releases: to Long term support releases only, then press Close.
    3. Press Alt-F2 and type update-manager -d
      1. Click the Check button to check for new updates. If there are any updates to install, use the Install Updates button to install them, and press Check again after that is complete.
      2. A message will appear informing you of the availability of the new release. Click Upgrade.

      Follow the on-screen instructions.
    So until July the update manager won't show the upgrade to 12.04 option.
    If you can't wait, and as replied before, the do-release-upgrade with switches will do the job.

    I was able to successfully run the upgrade via

    sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f kde -d

    Curiously, even though I was upgrading from kubuntu (KDE desktop), when the upgrade finished, it had switched me back to the ubuntu unity desktop. A colleague tells me that's intentional, to try to get users onto the unity desktop...Argh!
