View Full Version : [ubuntu] Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10

I have installed all updates through the update manager, but somehow I don't get the option to upgrade to 8.10.
Is this a small bug? Or could it be something specific about my system/laptop? And is there a way to circumvent it, by upgrading manually through the terminal or something for example?

cat /etc/update-manager/upgrade-releases
Then you should see Prompt=normal, otherwise you will only be able to upgrade to 10.04 which is the next lts (assuming Prompt=lts) or you will never upgrade, Prompt=none.

@slakkie nice help but you got the last two words switched :D
cat /etc/update-manager/upgrade-releases
slight change to that...
correct cmd is:
cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades

Oops :) Not running Ubuntu atm so couldn't check. I always make a mistake when looking for that file...
