I've run the following commands as root:

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

all work fine, but then i run

do-release-upgrade

and it says "no new release". This makes no sense as I've upgraded a clone of this machine in the past and it went straight to 10.04. I can get out to the internet fine. Any ideas why this might be?

  • I tried http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu as the source as well, so I don't think this is duplicate. Also, I did the upgrade on the clone only a couple of days ago. – wookie321 Feb 24 '13 at 22:44

    Not a duplicate since 8.04 is technically still supported for another month or two. – psusi Feb 25 '13 at 01:31

What I would probably do is just download a 10.04 ISO file and burn to a disk or usb. Then when you boot the computer from the disk, one of the installation options is to upgrade your current version to the version on the disk. It will keep all of your files and settings. I can't honestly say I've ever done it before, but I know it's an option. It also should take less time than an online upgrade.

Do make sure that in Software Sources, under the "Updates" tab, you have "Long-term support releases" selected in the dropdown menu below the "Release Upgrade" header. This will allow you to upgrade to the next LTS release in the terminal or with GUI. If I had a dime for every time I forgot to set this and missed the upgrade by a few days.

If you are using a proxy server, set the system wide proxy variable:

export http_proxy=http://<your-proxy-server>:<port>
