Kubuntu 24.94 LTS released. Not possible yet to upgrade from 22.04?

[Bas G. Roufs]

 Hello Nils and others.

Thanks for replying this question.....


https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-24-04-lts-noble-numbat-released/

Both yesterday late evening and this afternoon, Friday 26 April 2024, I
have been trying to upgrade from my current Kubuntu 22.04.4 LTS (Jammy)
configuration at my Lenovo X230. use

Is there anything else I can do except patiently waiting and trying from
time to time again?


A part of your reply reads like this...


You can only wait.

| Users of Ubuntu 23.10 will soon be offered an automatic upgrade to 24.04.
| Users of 22.04 LTS will be offered the automatic upgrade when 24.04.1
| LTS is released, which is scheduled for the 15th of August.


15 August 2024 is way too late for me. It's in the middle of my holiday
time. Moreover, I got stuck in a many difficulties that could not be
resolved any more. That's why, I finally decided to carry out a fresh
installation of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. I do manage to get this configuration
running, however, with some trial, error and bug reporting - about this I
get back in another post.

Additionally, you answer....

Other than that you can try

do-release-upgrade -d

but I haven't tried that now that 24.04 is released.


My attempt to work with this command, delivered the following result:

«(...)

bas at Camino:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
There is no development version of an LTS available.
To upgrade to the latest non-LTS development release
set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.
bas at Camino:~$

(...)»

I also tried to act according to a suggestion that came up in the terminal:


«(...)

To upgrade to the latest non-LTS development release
set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.

(...)»

I managed to edit that file. Like that, I hoped to be able to upgrade to
Kubuntu 23.10 at that point.

After a restart, a «Plasma Workspace» prompt told me that an upgrade is
available to «Ubuntu on 23.10.»


I first carry out an update check...

«(...)

bas at Camino:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

(...)

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

(...)»

Then, I stayed on the terminal...


«(...)

bas at Camino:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d

Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Upgrades to the development release are only
available from the latest supported release.
(...)»

No result.

I tried something different:

«(...)

bas at Camino:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop

(....)»

It did not work out. Many complications came up. More about them I have
shared in this bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/2063952

Have a pleasant evening.

Yours.

Bas.
