Ok, I was a little concise ;)

The above command, used in a terminal, should allow you to upgrade.

or you can configure the update manager to use not only the Long Term Support version.

Open your Terminal and type: uname -a, then press 'Enter'. Copy and paste the results here.

I have the same probelm with the disppearing "upgrade" button. I cancelled an upgrade and now do not see the button.

I have read the suggested webpage (Updates).

/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file has prompt=normal

Output from command: lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
Codename: jaunty

Output from uname -a

Linux Bollocks7 2.6.28-17-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 1 21:27:25 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Output from sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I have also tried apt-get autoremove / clean /dselect-upgrade. All remove nothing.

Any help would be appriciated.

A dist-upgrade doesn't automagicly upgrade your OS, you need to specify the correct sources.list for that to happen. Maybe that should be outlined better in the Upgrades wiki page.

Eitherway, I recommend that you upgrade via do-release-upgrade or the GUI update-manager. Could you run either tool and see what happens? If it doesn't work like expected please post your sources.list in this topic and the output of whatever command you have executed for the upgrade.
