I did the distro upgrade from 16.10 to 17.04 and it successfully upgraded and I am at 17.04 now. But the Software Updater seems to think I am still at 16.10

See attached pictures.

Will it eventually get that I am at 17.04?

I keep clicking Upgrade... about once a week and it wont change anything even if it does it successfully every time.

    Can you append the output of uname -r and 'lsb_release -a to your question, please? – Charles Green May 24 '17 at 00:43
  • Will do in about 10 hours – TiriPon May 25 '17 at 13:11
  • I guess my distro is just not upgrading. Is there something I can do to force it? – TiriPon May 26 '17 at 13:44
  • Seems like yes, and no. The kernel version is correct for 17.04. How did you perform the distro upgrade? – Charles Green May 26 '17 at 13:57
  • By clicking "Upgrade..." I also did a:'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo dist-upgrade' – TiriPon May 26 '17 at 17:28

    I would encourage you to remove any third party PPA's, and proprietary graphics drivers, then sudo do-release-upgrade so see if this finishes your upgrade. I really don't know if this will work... – Charles Green May 26 '17 at 18:08
  • Thanks. What you say makes sense. I have a nvidia graphic and so far I was unlucky with upgrades (since 14.04) mostly graphic problems and I always end up installing from scratch. When I install from scratch after an unsuccessful upgrade it always works like a charm. I will try your suggestion before installing from scratch. – TiriPon May 26 '17 at 18:14
  • I don't have any third party PPA. I did remove the 3 proprietary drivers I had and re-booted. Then I tried sudo do-release-upgrade and it went through the steps and the last step is type "y" to finish upgrade and restart. After the restart, I am at the same result when I "lsb_release -a" – TiriPon May 27 '17 at 01:12
  • When I "apt-get update" I get about a hundred lines similar to this: "W: Target Packages (main/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:54 and /etc/apt/sources.list:58" Can this help figure out my problem? – TiriPon May 27 '17 at 01:16

    this link describes a solution to that problem – Charles Green May 27 '17 at 02:00
  • Thanks Charles Green. I fixed the "multiple times" problem but I still can't do the release upgrade. Oh well – TiriPon May 29 '17 at 22:58
