I already did, but still it should be able to automatically detect that the next release is 14.04 LTS if using normal. Or at least show some information that user has to manually change the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file to prompt=lts.

This is bad for usability! And I am sure many other Dell laptop users encounter exactly the same problem. This bug was found on my Gf's laptop, I am no longer an Ubuntu user myself, mainly because upgrading nearly always broke my system. Switched to Arch because of rolling release.

So instead of having people experience the bug and having to google what the hell is happening, please handle the problem automatically or show a user notification what the user has to do.
