9.10 Ubuntu says "system up-to-date" with normal releases set

[fowlerpbf]

I have spent hours on this problem.

I am on Ubuntu 9.10. I want to upgrade to 10.04. The 9.10 patches itself, but does not see the upgrades. I have show new distributions: normal releases. I keep hitting the check button, but it keeps telling me the system is up-to-date.

There are no errors when the software checks for updates (as seen when it actually finds 9.10 patches and applies them.)

Any thoughts?

like it is writen all is ok.
you want up grade to another version ? well your choice maybe is not the best but anyway
you can go to the system then sources just down you have a choice : normal release (SURE)
and only LTS (long support = 10 lucid) , well choose LTS and reload in synaptic p.e.
an now maybe full of up dates...

Try;

alt+f2

Enter the command:

update-manager -c -d

on 9.1 to 10 all is up to update (297 updates) and even before manager is ok afaik.
but thank you for your tip, i did not know it.

I'm confused by the posts; the command I gave should specifically check for new releases, which occasionally I've noticed doesn't happen when you run it from the menu with no parameters.

do not be, thank you for the tip even if it is not the right !):P

It still says "Your System is up-to-date" and "The package information was last updated less than one hour ago."

I don't know if this helps, but Synaptic says I have 28955 packages listed, 1278 installed, 0 broken, 0 to install/upgrade, 0 to remove after the reload.

It still does not seem to see the 10.4 upgrade.

No go. It still says "Your System is up-to-date" and "The package information was last updated less than one hour ago."

you have done : UPGRADE 10
and you have not; and nothing is noticed like fail to check or fail join http...

so have you reload, have you shut down and restart ?

that is a big mystery...

This might be futile, but I suggest checking;

System -> Administration -> Software Sources
Change the mirror that Ubuntu is trying to use to 'main server'

Then ALT+F2 ->
update-manager -c -d

After it loads, click 'check' to recheck it, after the update manager comes up. If this still does nothing, I have no idea :D

I have not done "UPGRADE 10" I can't find any place to do that. Yes, I have rebooted. No errors I can see. I know it joined http, because it got the patches for the 9.10.

Yes. This is really a big mystery. I cannot upgrade.

No good. Are there any logs anywhere I can check?
