I'm on 14.04 and the software updater shows no update available. Can I manually download the images and install them but without losing all my data?

You can try sudo update-manager -d That should get you to where you want You may have to run sudo do-release-upgrade too

As the other post mentioned ... you may have to go into the sources and change it. If you change it to any new version then run the above commands it should show the update. If you choose long term support it may not show. His way may also may also work since he is using the Check if a new Ubuntu release is available .. my method uses Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible For some reason sometimes the "new Ubuntu release" doesn't seem to show for me .. so if his method doesn't work you can try mine .. one of them should definitely get the update to show

You want to ensure that in the update manager settings, on the updates tab, where it says

Notify me of a new Ubuntu version:

That you have For long-term support versions selected.

With that setting active run sudo update-manager -c to check if a new distribution release is available
