unable to update from 24.04 lts to 26.04 lts

[raphael75]

I tried following these two tutorials:
https://computingforgeeks.com/upgrad...4-04-to-26-04/
https://www.fosslinux.com/155927/how...2026-guide.htm

and both times when I get to the step to run do-release-upgrade I get this:

$ sudo do-release-upgrade -c
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
There is no development version of an LTS available.
To upgrade to the latest non-LTS development release
set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.

I've read that the 26.04 release came out months ago, so I'm not sure why it can't find it. My /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades is set to Prompt=lts

Why can't it find the lts release? Thank you.

Ubuntu wont make the upgrade from 24.04 to 26.04 available until October, when the first point release: 26.04.1; is available.
