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
Same kind of from the KubuntuForums /3,4,5,.../:~$ 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

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...Comment
