    Unable to upgrade to 11.10

    So I've got a machine running natty that I'm trying to upgrade to 11.10. KpackageKit and Software Management however aren't listing any available upgrades. Update-Manager does however, but it won't accept my password. Any help would be most appreciated.

    Using the terminal, what does the following command do?
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    Code:
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

      Have you tried ?

      You could try with the command line. By the OneiricUpgrades /1, 2/:

      Code:
      sudo apt-get update
      Code:
      sudo do-release-upgrade -f kde
      :~$ do-release-upgrade --help
      Usage: do-release-upgrade [options]

      Options:
      -h, --help show this help message and exit
      -V, --version Show version and exit
      -d, --devel-release Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is
      possible
      -p, --proposed Try upgrading to the latest release using the upgrader
      from $distro-proposed
      -m MODE, --mode=MODE Run in a special upgrade mode. Currently 'desktop' for
      regular upgrades of a desktop system and 'server' for
      server systems are supported.
      -f FRONTEND, --frontend=FRONTEND
      Run the specified frontend
      -s, --sandbox Test upgrade with a sandbox aufs overlay
      -c, --check-dist-upgrade-only
      Check only if a new distribution release is available
      and report the result via the exit code
      -q, --quiet
      Same kind of from the KubuntuForums /3,4,5,.../

        Thanks for the replies. Dist-upgrade and do-release-upgrade both spat out 'no updates available'.

        I gave in to update-manager's password demands, set a root password and it ran through the upgrade process with no problems. Not sure what went wrong with KpackageKit and apt-get though...
