Why can't I upgrade to Ubuntu 13.04 using Update Manager?

  • 772

I'm aware of the How do I upgrade to the development release (aka. Ubuntu+1)? question and this is NOT a duplicate.

On my laptop running Ubuntu 12.10, when running sudo update-manager -d, I'm getting "The software on this computer is up to date".

Running sudo do-release-upgrade -d starts the upgrade procedure

Is it a (temporary) bug in Update Manager which is going to be fixed or is it a change which makes our "canonical" answer obsolete? Or am I doing something wrong?

  1. Go to System Settings --> Software & Updates, then in the Software & Updates window, go to the Updates tab. Change the option Notify me of a new Ubuntu version to For any new version. Then go back and run update manager.

    Basically the default setting only lets you upgrade to LTS versions and 13.04 is not LTS.
