I have been using Ubuntu 7.10 for far to long because I cannot use the update manager for a dist-upgrade. There is no "New Distribution Available" message. I'm sure that this is an easy fix, but I cannot find it anywhere.
I'm now upgrading the "old-school" way with:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
change every word gutsy to hardy (be sure to leave the # in front of cd)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
So far, so good. I'll report any problems that I encounter, if any.
Does anyone know what might have caused the "New Distribution Available" message to not show up in the update-manager?
