I'm pretty new to running linux, but I know that 19.04 was released today and I wanted to upgrade from my current 18.10. However, when I follow the release notes here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiscoDingo/ReleaseNotes#Official_flavour I get the message "The software on this computer is up to date". I made sure that my update settings are set to "any new version" and "normal" in the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!

Side note: I had to disable this PPA: http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvbn-rm/ppa/ubuntu because it would cause errors in apt updating. Do I need to re-add it? If so how do I do so without it giving me an error?

Edit: I have followed the procedure recommended in the documentation which is identical to the suggested duplicate, but I am not given the option to upgrade. I have not yet tried the

do-release-upgrade -d 

option as I don't want to upgrade to the developer version.

Do not forget to make a backup of current system to prevent data loss.

Then do the following:

1. 
   

   Make sure that you have the following contents in the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades:

   
   
   

   
   

   Prompt=normal

   
   

   
   
   

   or from Software & Updates (software-properties-gtk) GUI tab Updates:

   
   
   

   
   

   

   
   

   
   
   

   set Notify me of a new Ubuntu version to For any new version.

   
   


2. 
   

   Switch to the Main server in Software & Updates (software-properties-gtk):

   
   
   

   

   
   


3. 
   

   Install all updates to your Ubuntu 18.10 by running:

   
   
   

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get upgrade
   

   
   


4. 
   

   Reboot and then use one of the solutions

   
   
   
   • 
     

     GUI solution:

     
     
     

     update-manager
     

     
     
   
   
   • 
     

     terminal solution:

     
     
     

     sudo do-release-upgrade
     

     
     
   
   

Notes:

1. 
   

   This method ended with warning message:

   
   
   

   
   

   Could not install 'linux-image-5.0.0-13-generic'
   
   The upgrade will continue but the 'linux-image-5.0.0-13-generic' package may not be in a working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it.

   
   
   

   triggers looping, abandoned

   
   

   
   
   

   and I have to run sudo dpkg --configure -a before reboot to prevent lock-up of new 19.04. Maybe it is VirtualBox guest issue. Reported as bug 1825420.

   
   



2. really I'll recommend to wait 2-4 days for official stable method with any mirror.
