After giving up waiting through a few versions, I finally found out how to start the upgrade from the desktop.
I found 2 ways:
1) Install update-manager. Which installs an app called 'Software Updater', which triggers the version Upgrade when available.
2) Go to the app Muon Package Manager. it has a button for updates as well as a "Full Upgrade" button.
This is now solved for me. Finally non IT users can upgrade like the old days.

But more likely it is just taking time for the switched-on state to get out to everyone.Last edited by ianp5a; May 15, 2021, 12:23 AM.

You'd get a borked boot whichever way you upgraded.
I understand that boot issue was fixed and that the upgrade should now be available.
You can finally upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 from 20.10 as the boot-breaking bug blocking the process has been resolvedLast edited by ianp5a; May 14, 2021, 04:02 AM.

Is there some reason for the delay in the pop-up 21.04 Upgrade prompt appearing for users? Or is there any other way to Upgrade for non IT users? Specifically not using the command line.
My particular interest is for upgrading and not manually reinstalling. And in a way suitable for people who have never used the tools for IT pros.Last edited by ianp5a; May 13, 2021, 11:51 PM.Tags: None
