http://ubuntuforums.org – 12.04 64-bit on my laptop, keeps telling me to upgrade, telling me to close my apps and press OK to upgrade. But I don't want to upgrade. How do I get it to stop? When I run Update Manager I keep getting this message. In Settings, I've got Update Manager to tell me about new LTS releases, and I certainly haven't asked to upgrade...

Stories similar to [ubuntu] 12.04 keeps nagging me to upgrade

Currently using 11.10 on a new dell vostro 2420 laptop and wanted to upgrade to 12.04.01lte.

Using the update manager and clicking the upgrade option first came up with a 'failure to authenticate' message and after a restart of the computer I click the upgrade and it will download 2 files then the popup closes and no further prompts/screens come up.

This morning I ran Update Manager. It said that I needed a partial upgrade, so I said to continue. It went into Distribution Upgrade mode.

I've never had a problem with this before.

I am running 11.10 on my PC. The Update Manager once indicated that I could upgrade to 12.04 LTS. However, clicking the upgrade button made the update manager unresponsive and I had to force quit the app. The next time I started the app, it showed me all the updates except for 12.04. Is there anyway I can upgrade to 12.04??

So I finally checked to see if I could upgrade to 12.04.1 through the update manager and it's there saying I can upgrade. I already upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04 so I'm thinking about going to 12.04. This is, my PC is pretty old. It has about 600MB or RAM so would that be enough?

I had a PC that had about 2GB of RAM, but it died. Funny how newer PC's seem to crap out more than the old ones.

Now Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) LTS(Long time support) beta1 has released and the final stable version will be released on April 29, 2010.Here is how to upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 or 8.04 LTS. To upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 on a desktop system:

How do I do an upgrade to 12.10 using the iso downloaded from the ubuntu web site? I do not want to do a clean install as I do not want to loose my settings. I am afraid that clicking "UPGRADE TO 12.10" in update manager will upgrade the OS and all the packages and that this will take all my monthly data from my contract which is just 3gig a month.

I am using ubuntu 11.10 and update manager is not showing the option to upgrade it to 12.04. I have selected the 'Notify me of new Ubuntu version:' option to 'For any new version as suggested by some people, but still i am not getting the option to upgrade.
