My system is currently running Ubuntu 18.04. Ubuntu 20.04.1 has been out one week ago, yet it is not proposed as an upgrade by the software manager:

A call to sudo do-release-upgrade -c returns

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.

Am I being impatient, or is something wrong here?

(In case that is relevant, I was actually running 16.04, and wanted to switch to 20.04 once the first point release is out. Hopping to 18.04 is a necessary step in the process -- this one happened flawlessly).

  • It could be, though we are one week after the release, not a few hours as in the post you link to. Are 18.04 users still denied the 20.04.1 update when asking for LTS updates only at this time? – user209974 Aug 14 '20 at 12:03

    The wording hours was used because I wrote that answer in what I considered hours, ie. what would now be last week. If you check up the current status, there are two show stopped bugs that in in play, one was marked fix released last I looked, but loads of other minor issues too. LTS users want stability, so rushing it is not advised. Canonical provided how to force upgrade instructions if you don't want to wait. – guiverc Aug 14 '20 at 12:06
  • Ubuntu 16.04.7 and Ubuntu 18.04.5 were also released today... the release team were also somewhat focused on those scheduled releases (okay, 16.04.7 wasn't as scheduled as most, but it still used resources..), so pushing upgrades during the current period may also have reduced quality... and I'd prize the delay & quality/stability myself... My 2c (by today I mean it's less than 24 hours since release, it may be yesterday depending on where you are in the world..) – guiverc Aug 14 '20 at 12:08
  • @guiverc Thanks for the insight. Being impatient was the correct answer then :) – user209974 Aug 14 '20 at 12:10
  • There are several similiar threads over the past few days Why isn't an upgrade to 20.04 from 18.04 available yet? – Bernhard Döbler Aug 16 '20 at 21:51
