I am trying to upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 following the instructions given in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SaucyUpgrades:

1)

sudo apt-get install update-manager-core

Output:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
update-manager-core is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

2)

do-release-upgrade

Output:

Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found

Many people have similar problems with upgrades for other versions. The most mentioned solutions I found are 1) to change from Prompt=lts to Prompt=Normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and 2) to do the release upgrade as a normal user instead of root user. Non of these worked for me.

Any idea to solve my problem?

Thank you.

You need a new install.

  • By new install you mean skip versions instead of going one by one until I reach the one I want ?

  • Yes, skip versions. Install anew and fresh.

  • But then I might loose all I have in my computer right? Copying everything somewhere else would a pain in the ...

  • Yes, skip versions. Look out for LTS versions (Long Term Support) which last longer that normal releases. 14.04 LTS was one. Nearly here is 16.04 LTS

  • You need to copy you stuff off the computer to an external hard drive. Do a new install and then replace the stuff.
