I am trying to upgrade to LTS 16.04 and not having any luck. I am following this guide on Ask Ubuntu: How to upgrade my Ubuntu 15.04 to Ubuntu 16.04

mblanco@mblanco-MS-7680:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade
[sudo] password for mblanco: 
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found

I think it might have to be associated with the sources I use for updates which are Canonical Partner, but I am not sure.

15.04 is way past its end of life date (Feb 4 2016) so there is no supported upgrade path. You will have to back up your data and do a clean install.

The answers to this question supply some alternate strategies but the simplest thing to do is a clean install.

  • Not necessarily, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-an-old-unsupported-release . I agree a fresh install is faster and more reliable. – Panther Sep 15 '17 at 18:55
