[SOLVED] Update to 20.10

[Hazzy]

I tried to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gr...grades/Kubuntu
At one point it asked me to "Switch your upgrade settings from LTS only to 'normal'."
I can't find an option to do this meaning that I am now stuck.
Please help me ASAP!

Welcome to KFN!

I hope this was quick enough for you, I had to put down other tasks to answer this urgent, time-sensitive request!!


LTS releases only have upgrade notification set for the next LTS, so to upgrade to 20.10 you need to change a setting in the Software Sources tool.

The easiest way to find this may be to search for the term 'software' or 'software sources' in the k-menu. Otherwise, it will be found in the Settings section in Discover. There will be a tab for updates, and you can change the upgrade options away from 'LTS Only' to 'normal releases'

Switch your upgrade settings from LTS only to 'normal'.

From the setting page of Discover, press the 'Software Sources' button top right. On the updates tab of the software properties application select 'Normal Releases' in the drop down box for 'Release Upgrades', and exit.

That is quite clear.

I didn't see the post until now because I got no notification. I will try now!
Edit: I have just changed to all updates. Is there any way that I can make it check for updates without waiting until tomorrow? If not I can wait.
Edit 2: I've got this tab always open on tab auto refresh extension so it will refresh the page every few minutes to inform me of new replies.

You can start the upgrade tool manually

Also I know that you can change the title to say solved but I don't know how.
Edit: Just found out how to change post status to solved.
