update-manager -d doesn't do anything

[jimbo99]

I have several machines running Linux (approximately 15). A couple I have managed to get updated to 10.10. Most, if not all are on 10.04. I try to keep them upgraded each new release of Ubuntu.

Over the past few days I've tried to get "gksu update-manager -d" to work to no avail. Regular updates work. I'm not told when I invoke that command and the update manager loads that I can upgrade to 10.10.

Is there some issue with Canonical/Ubuntu in that they aren't permitting updates at this time?

did you insure the update manager is set to check for all Upgrades and not just LTS versions?

To upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a desktop system, press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '10.10' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

You don't need the gksu, update manager will prompt you for password.
I remember a post earlier this week that sudo or gksudo etc. screws up the process.
