First, run this command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

Then type:

sudo apt-get install update-manager-core

Edit the Update manager file to confirm that your system will get the LTS version in the update:

sudo nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades

Now run this command to upgrade:

sudo do-release-upgrade -d

Then follow the onscreen instructions to finish

  • The use of -y seems unwise when troubleshooting. You want to read the output before agreeing to the action.

  • The use of -d will have different results based upon the calendar. Using that flag today will cause a release-upgrade to fail.
