    Can't upgrade from jaunty?

    I'm on 9.04 and decided to upgrade to 10.04 LTS, by upgrading 9.04->9.10 and 9.10->10.04. However, I'm stuck in the first step because my installation doesn't see anything to upgrade to:

    abf@niterinep:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
    abf@niterinep:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade
    Checking for a new ubuntu release
    No new release found

    This is after I tried:

    sudo apt-get clean
    sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
    sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
    sudo apt-get clean
    sudo apt-get update

    I do have a USB stick with which I can do a clean install of 10.04 LTS, but for fun and education I want to do it the messy way first. So what could be causing this? Should I post my /etc/apt/sources.list?

    Got it! I had to change Prompt=never in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to Prompt=normal, and voila, it works. I must have turned prompts off in upgrade-manager way back when.

    (Now how do I change the thread prefix to [SOLVED]?)
