I've read various upgrade instructions for upgrading from 8.04 LTS to 10.4 LTS. I've seen two commands suggested for running update-manager from a terminal to accomplish the upgrade:
1. update-manager --devel-release
2. update-manager --proposed
First, what's the difference between these two commands.
Second, I don't understand why the upgrade doesn't show up in update-manager when run from the GUI. If the prompt variable is set correctly in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades (prompt=LTS in my case), then it seems like the upgrade would show up in upate-manager when a new LTS release is available.
I thought as of April 29th that 10.04 was released and not beta. The --devel-relase and --proposed options seem like something for a pre release version.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
