If you want to upgrade and update-manager does not work, do the following:

* go to a console
* type the following:

sudo pkill update-manager
sudo do-release-upgrade -d


The first command will terminate any instances of update-manager that are
still running.
The second command will first calculate what has to be changed for the
upgrade. It will show you what it will install, upgrade and remove. If you
don't like what it is doing, it will revert any changes to sources.list.


If you need more help, put your sources.list online.
