View Full Version : [SOLVED] update manager doesn't see 10.10 release

I have a laptop and a desktop running Ubuntu 10.04 (linux kernal 2.6.32-25-generic, gnome 2.30.2

I ran update manager on both.

The laptop provided the distribution upgrade option.

The desktop did not.

When I manually attempt sudo do-release-upgrade on the desktop I'm told "No new release found"

These machines are attached to the same wired network and both have access to the Internet. (I'm writing this on the desktop machine.)

How do I get the desktop machine to recognize that a new release is available?

TIA

System -> Administration -> Software Sources -> Updates tab; at the bottom set the Release updates to Normal releases.

Also type this in a terminal if you still can't get upgrade info to be shown:

update-manager -d

Thanks. This did the trick. For some release I had it watching only for long-term releases.

When running
update-manager -d



= Welcome to the Ubuntu 'Maverick Meerkat' development release =

***
This is still a RELEASE-CANDIDATE release.
Do not install it on production machines.

Is it still RC?

I also see this "Release Candidate" message, despite updating the package list. Is it a release candidate or just an out of date message?

I have the same message... still RC?
Repositories not updated?
Please... anyone has the answer? I'd love to update, but only to the stable version!!

Try:
update-manager -c

from man update-manager

-c, --check-dist-upgrades
Check if a new distribution release is available

-d, --devel-release
Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible
