Upgrade from 18.04 LTS or 19.10 to 20.04 LTS
Ubuntu Desktops
You can easily upgrade over the network with the following procedure.
Run the update-manager application;
In Update Manager, click the Settings... button, and enter your
password to start the Software Sources application.
Select the sub menu Updates from the Software Sources application.
Confirm the "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version:" option is set to "For
any new version" if you are using 19.10 or to "For long-term support
versions" if you are using 18.04 LTS. If it is not set properly modify
it the appropriate option.
Close the Software Sources application and return to Update Manager.
In Update Manager, click the Check button to check for new updates.
If there are any updates to install, use the Install Updates button to
install them, then exit.
In a terminal run update-manager -c -d.
Follow the on-screen instructions.

Patience....
