I know that a version upgrade from 8.04.4 LTS to 10.04 LTS should be possible, however, I do not see any invitation to a version upgrade when I use Update Manager (GUI). The Software Sources are set to show LTS upgrades only.

Do I have to take special action to go from LTS to next LTS, or is something wrong?

It would be a lot better and faster doing a fresh install rather than upgrading...

I have done that on a couple of machines, however I help a lot of novices, and also use a few office machines, so
1) I would like to know how it can be upgraded LTS to LTS as designed, and
2) Upgrades carry forward a lot of useful stuff, it may be slow, but it takes less imediate attention from me. Hopefully. :-)
