Another question with this URL:

How do I upgrade from 10.04 or 11.10 to 12.04?

Has this:

If you choose to upgrade before then, you can pass the -d option to the upgrade tool, running do-release-upgrade -d or update-manager -d, to upgrade from vanilla 10.04 to 12.04.

Am I correct in assuming that if I am actually running 10.04.4 (not vanilla?) that the above command line instructions wo

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.

I am wishing to upgrade to 12.04.1, but my package manager does not list an upgrade as available. I have tried running $sudo apt-get update and $sudo apt-get upgrade without any luck.

Anyone know what I need to do to upgrade to 12.04.1?

My update manager does not give me the option to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10. That is, the "New distribution release '12.10' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions" section is not shown.

I had the same problem upgrading to 12.04. Spent hours trying to upgrade the system, got lucky somehow, don’t definitively know how.

Upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 LTS 29 weeks 8 hours ago

My Ubuntu 11.04 installation refuses to perform updates for the past month.

I decided to upgrade to 12.04 LTS. I have a separate partition for /home. How can I upgrade without losing my programs and data?

The update manager does not show anything as possible 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.

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.

Screenshot of Selecting Option:

Screen shot of update manager not detecting upgrade:

My upgrade manager prompted me for an upgrade to 12.10 from 12.04. So, clicked on upgrade. It has been 4+ hours now and the system is still trying to upgrade. The progress bar is still at around 10%. So, it may take more than 24 hours to upgrade. This compared to a clean build which might have taken less than an hour.

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.
