Update to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS doesn't appear

[Jeb E.]

Even though the OS has been officially launched by Canonical, my system refuses to "see" a new OS version other than what I currently have and the Software Updater tells me my system is "up-to-date."

I've tried manually downloading and installing updates via Terminal as Sudo, but 18.04 still is not seen.

Anyone have any ideas? I do not want to update to a development release just to try and fix the problem :(

We are still working on sorting out one upgrade bug. If you want to upgrade right now you could just pass the '-d' switch to do-release-upgrade e.g. 'do-release-upgrade -d'.

But won't that change all my upgrade paths to the Development releases? Is there a way I can reverse this after updating?

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Using the '-d' switch with do-release-upgrade only takes effect one time. There is no file on disk that records whether or not you want to upgrade to development releases.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

The meta-release file has been updated now and the upgrade will appear.

We are still sorting out a bug that is making the upgrade experience poor.
