Upgrade to Kubuntu 20.04 from Kubuntu 18.04

Question

I am following the steps listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FocalUpgrades/Kubuntu but when I run the following command

sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop

I get the following output

Checking for a new Ubuntu release                                                                                                                                                                                                            
There is no development version of an LTS available.                                                                                                                                                                                         
To upgrade to the latest non-LTS develoment release                                                                                                                                                                                          
set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.

Not sure why I am still cant upgrade to 20.04.1

Please add output of sudo apt update followed by apt list --upgradeable to the question by editing it. — N0rbert, Aug 09 '20 at 09:53
Does this answer your question? Why isn't an upgrade to 20.04 from 18.04 available yet? — Kulfy, Sep 07 '20 at 09:30

Me too, I can't upgrade fully updated freshly-installed Ubuntu MATE 18.04.5 LTS system without PPAs to 20.04.1 LTS.
So I have reported bug 1890936 to LaunchPad.

At first install all updates to the current version with

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

Then as a workaround you have to use

update-manager -d

or

sudo do-release-upgrade -d

to upgrade.

Thanks. I tried this as well. Following is what blocks me now, even after running
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

Releases dont get enabled until the weekend after the point release according to this comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1890936/comments/4

So the only solution is to wait out a few days.
