Upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 Preview

Question

Is there any way to upgrade my distro from 14.04 to the development version of 16.04.

Using

update-manager -d

tells me about 14.10, which is weird since this version is not suppported anymore.

Run do-release-upgrade. I upgraded this way with no problems. — Pilot6, Mar 23 '16 at 14:21

You have to use do-release-upgrade -d (the -d flag to upgrade to a development version)

Unfortunately it does not work. It tries to retrieve utopic.tar.gz. – Blenderudit Mar 23 '16 at 16:05
Open /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and make sure that the release upgrader is set to LTS using Prompt=lts – arturodr Mar 23 '16 at 16:47
Fantastic it worked! – Blenderudit Mar 23 '16 at 17:18
