According to Release Notes
(<https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-04-lts-noble-numbat-release-notes/39890>)
under Ubuntu Desktop:

    Upgrades from previous Ubuntu releases are not supported yet.
    Critical bug fixes for upgrades are expected in the coming days (LP:
    #2063221 is one example of a critical bug that is difficult to
    recover from. Please be patient here or make a backup and do a clean
    install instead.)
