I did a lucid to precise upgrade the other day. Because it was prerelease I
simply kicked it off by typing 'update-manager -d' in a terminal. Can't
remember if I used sudo or not.

Not sure why you are not getting the option via the update manager GUI
after precise has been released. Maybe an sudo apt-get update will kick it
into action
