Hello everyone :biggrin:
I want to upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04.
Actually, I already wanted to upgrade already when 20.04 originally came out, but on the official update page it states:
From 18.04, upgrades will not be enabled until approximately the date of the 1st 20.04 point release at the end of July.
So I tried upgrading beginning of August the first time.
I got all updates installed, so no problem there.
I tried the first option offered to upgrade:
Ensure that the package ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt is installed.
Run in Krunner:
pkexec do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE
After this, exactly nothing happened. No dialog, no message, nothing at all. Waiting for up to quarter of an hour did nothing as well.
I tried it several times, with rebooting, re-installing the package... still nothing at all.
So I tried the second method offered:
Alternatively if you wish to do the entire upgrade in a terminal, in Konsole do:
sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop
This finally offered me a hint why nothing happened: (translated from German)
New releases of Ubuntu are searched
No LTS versions are avaiable.
To upgrade to the newest non-LTS version:
Set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
So I thought, okay, they still need a bit longer for it.
I tried several times throughout August, but still nothing.
For the last time, I tried today, but the upgrader still says there are no LTS versions available for upgrade.
This seems a bit fishy to me... is it still not possible to upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04?
