    Kubuntu does not update

    Hello, everyone. My name is Jose Marcos and I'm from Brazil. I'm new to Linux and I've been using Kubuntu for 8 months. I am trying to upgrade my Kubuntu to version 19.04 but does not update. I tried with the commands below:

    Code:
    sudo add-apt-repository PPA: Kubuntu-PPA/Backports
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt-get dist-Upgrade
    But you haven't updated. How do I upgrade? See below for the version of my Kubuntu.

    Code:
    [FONT=monospace]DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
    DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04
    DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic
    DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS"
    NAME="Ubuntu"
    VERSION="18.04.2 LTS (Bionic Beaver)"
    ID=ubuntu
    ID_LIKE=debian
    PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS"
    VERSION_ID="18.04"
    HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
    SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
    BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
    PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
    VERSION_CODENAME=bionic
    UBUNTU_CODENAME=bionic
    [/FONT]
    Thank you and excuse my English.

    You can't by default upgrade from LTS to a non-LTS release of Ubuntu. You can enable this, but you will have upgrade from 18.04 to 18.10 first, then 19.04, you can't skip a release.

      apt-get dist-upgrade is very confusingly named and it is not a "distribution" upgrade. This has confused many, including myself in my early Kubuntu days. (I prefer sudo apt full-upgrade which does the same as apt-get dist-upgrade.)

      After fixing the LTS only restriction that claydoh referred to, if you want to use the command line it's
      Code:
      sudo do-release-upgrade

        Thank you all very much. I was able to install. I couldn't have done it without your help.
