[xubuntu-users] Upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04.2 -- How to get it to run?

[Len Philpot]

I usually blow away and install clean when it comes to major version 
upgrades, but I thought I'd try an upgrade this time (first, at least). 
So far nothing has worked. I've tried following the GUI prompts from the 
software upgrader, but it vanishes after clicking the button. From the 
command line, I've tried but am getting nowhere:

[root at europa:28] ~ # apt update
(runs OK)

[root at europa:29] ~ # do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

[root at europa:33] ~ # apt -s upgrade

It appears to think there are pending updates that need to be applied, 
but I don't see any. So how do I get the upgrade to actually run?

Thanks.
