Why is “No new release found” when upgrading 10.04 to 12.04 LTS?

i am not seeing 12.04 LTS available for update in Update Manager. i followed the update instructions, and set to lts release only. when on normal release, i see only 10.10. i wish to upgrade to 12.04 LTS.

what am i missing?

my data is backed up, but i have at least 2 yrs of programs installed and i would not like to lose all those programs and configs for various services and such. otherwise i would do a clean install.

suggestions? or more specific instructions please.

thanks. pete

  • 10.04 LTS currently. Aug 21, 2012 at 19:28
  • um... why did you close? there is no exact duplicate... i did the update path from 10.04 > 10.10 > 11.04 > and as you may have guessed by now, THERE IS NO UPGRADE PATH TO 12.04 LTS - per all your instructions, sudo cmd's ecterra... bottom line, something is janked up in the apt or update configs and is a bug of sorts. reopen this ticket. also, if you can post the example of exactness, i would enjoy taking at look at. remember, i followed your instructions, and no 12.04 LTS ever shows up. i'll be awaiting your responses... thanks, oly Aug 24, 2012 at 21:04

  • what worked for someone else, obviously isnt working for me... keep that in mind ... Aug 24, 2012 at 21:07

Make sure that you have a Backup of everything you absolutely can't afford to lose.

Then just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command below.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Then see if you have the option to upgrade to 12.04. If not then

do-release-upgrade -d

Update: if the above gives you trouble, try:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install update-manager-core

do-release-upgrade -d

  • awaiting the next step, do-release-upgrade -d did not set to 12.04 LTS. Aug 22, 2012 at 17:39
  • Try update-manager -d
