http://askubuntu.com – New release 'oneiric' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it. 2222222-desktop:~$ do-release-upgrade Checking for a new ubuntu release No new release found why does it say there is an upgrade then says it does not find it? I have been slowly upgrading from 9x to 11.04. I had some issues along the way but nothing google could not help me with. Now this has me stuck. I have tried sudo apt-get update this worked so it was not the issue I had before where my keys were invalid. sudo apt-get upgrade after that did nothing. sudo do-release-upgrade returned with "no upgrade (HowTos)

I have an Ubuntu server and last week I ran Code: do-release-upgrade and it did the upgrade perfectly. It also did every other upgrade for the last 2 years no problem. When the upgrade finished and it rebooted, I SSH into it and it told me again there is an update. But when I run the command again it tells me there's no upgrade available.

I'm trying to upgrade our ubuntu server 11.04 to 11.10. I did an apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. Now, im trying to execute do-release upgrade.

I have a cluster of about 50 ubuntu nodes which are currently running maverick release. I'd like to upgrade them to oneiric, but I'm having a difficulty choosing the right tools.

I know ubuntu has the 'unattended-upgrade' utility, but it's only meant for security upgrades and cannot switch the whole release.

Just tried to upgrade my ubuntu 10.10 using "do-release-upgrade" from console and fails: Error is:

alex@spse:/# do-release-upgrade Checking for a new ubuntu release Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [198B] Get:2 Upgrade tool [1306kB] Fetched 1307kB in 0s (0B/s) authenticate 'natty.tar.gz' against 'natty.tar.gz.gpg' exception from gpg: GnuPG exited non-zero, with code 2 Debug information: gpg: Signatu

I'm trying to upgrade one of my servers from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 12.10 using the following commands.

First I edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change Prompt=lts to Prompt=normal. Then I start the upgrade with do-release-upgrade -d

The upgrade starts but fails immediately with the following output. I've already googled for this problem but didn't find any information.

I am in the process of updating a bunch of machines to 12.xx.

For regular package updates I tried apt-proxy, which had random hiccups (clients hanging on various headers).

What is the proper way to upgrade Ubuntu chroot environment to a newer Ubuntu release? The chroot environment has been originally set up using debootstrap.

The proper way to upgrade a Ubuntu server is to use do-release-upgrade command.

Ubuntu is based on Debian.

I am trying to go from 11.04 to 11.10 (with the final intent of bringing my system up to 12.04), using sudo do-release-upgrade (or via the gui update manager) but continually receive this error message:

Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Got this message when I logged in and decided to upgrade. I am a noob. So anyways, I ran the command and next thing I know, I can no longer log into it after the reboot. What the heck happened?

I get ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxxx port 22: Network is unreachable

New release 'oneiric' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
