Still trying to upgrade

Trying to upgrade to 20.04 from 18.04.
Now and again my desktop shows a message to tell me that the upgrade is available and asks me whether I want to install it. I click YES....but nothing happens. The message just goes away.
SO, I do this:- $ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
And then I do this:-sudo do-release-upgrade -d -f DistUpgradeViewGtk3

From which I get this.Checking for a new Ubuntu release.
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

But I've already updated.

Oh and when I try to update using the graphical user interface doohdad, I get this<img src="https://www.amazon.co.uk/photos/share/DXlK0gQRufLSuYn5kpa6MiG7JXckY42Mjxp2zCMQNTp" border="0" alt=""></div><br><br></div>

Any advice?

You could boot to the install media of 20.04 and I believe the update will be offered. Are you getting issues in Bionic?

Genius.....that worked.

I ran the instller from USB and it did give me the option to upgrade from 18.04.


I expect I'll be back in touch around September 2022, assuming we all get there.

Big thanks,
Phil
