    No Upgrade Option offered on Edgy

    I've upgraded two of my computers from Kubuntu Edgy to Feisty, but my main desktop... won't.

    When I run Adept Manager, making sure I have edgy-updates enabled, it doesn't offer the Distribution Upgrade tool. I have removed extraneous repos, made sure all the needed ones are present, I even rebooted the system-- I cannot get the system to offer me the upgrade.

    What could I be doing wrong? The same network was used for the other two systems, and I don't think anything is missing from my sources.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Here's my sources.list:
    Code:
    deb [url]http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] edgy-updates universe multiverse

    Re: No Upgrade Option offered on Edgy

    I'm experiencing exactly the same thing. Adept shows "Install 0, upgrade 0, remove 0 | 1281 installed, 0 upgradable, 20349 availabe | download: 0B, installation: 0B" along the status bar, but doesn't start the upgrade wizard.

    It's intensely frustrating: there's no error message or anything to indicate what I should try to fix, just no way to proceed. >

    Code:
    $ grep -v ^# /etc/apt/sources.list
deb [url]http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] edgy main restricted universe multiverse

      in your sources.list...
      for regular kubuntu repositories, try replace every occurrence of edgy with feisty.
      for extra repositories you should verify that newer feisty dists are available.
      if they aren't, just leave them as they are.
      then try the update/dist-upgrade again.

          I thought the point of the Kubuntu Distribution Upgrade Tool was to avoid a blind apt-get dist-upgrade, which could break parts of the system. So I'm not eager to just replace my sources with feisty sources; I'd rather use the official tool. Which worked for two of my systems (a laptop and a desktop) but isn't being offered on my main desktop-- frustrating. Hitting "Fetch Updates" over and over again isn't changing anything, nor should it, I guess.

            There's a line in the official howto that says "If you have been using xyzzy repos for KDE, you also need to add this line:..." - I found that, even though I hadn't been using said KDE repos, adding the line made it work.

              Good suggestion, James, but adding
              Code:
              deb [url]http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-356-pre-feisty-upgrade/[/url] edgy main
              to my repos and updating doesn't change it, either.

              I may just wait till I have a free weekend and do a clean install-- thankfully, I always keep /home on a separate partition. But I'd really prefer to just upgrade!

                Re: No Upgrade Option offered on Edgy

                I looked at sources.list on one of my computers that had Adept correctly offer the Feisty upgrade, and the only difference was using archive.ubuntu.com instead of us.archive.ubuntu.com.

                But changing that on my system still didn't work.

                Could there be a flag set in some configuration file, telling it not to upgrade?

                Thanks for any ideas... I've now had 3 successful Feisty upgrades, but not being able to do it on my main system is annoying.

                  Re: No Upgrade Option offered on Edgy

                  Do you see an option in Adept that says "Full Upgrade"? I had issues with upgrading Edgy to Feisty as well last night, but have it up and running now. If you have the "Full Upgrade" button in Adept then hit it and then hit the "Fetch Updates" button. Keep us informed of your progress, Paradoxdruid.

                    Thanks for trying to help, dregorth. No, Full Upgrade is always greyed out on this desktop. I just confirmed on a fourth system (my little system76 koala media center) that with the sources.list I have, it will offer the upgrade from Edgy to Feisty. But not on my home desktop. Makes me wonder if there's a special repo I need, or an option that needs changing.

                      A shot in the dark here but is all your repos enabled I mean not grayed out in the repos list. I had this happen to me just today I though I enabled all on them
                      but I wanted to get a game lbreakout2 and it was not found so I checked and I did not enabled all of them oops

                        Re: No Upgrade Option offered on Edgy

                        I finally gave up onthe graphical install and used the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgradesManual , which was basically aptitude dist-upgrade after modifying my sources.list.

                        As advertised, it errored, and big time: Midway through, dpkg failed and the root file system had become read-only. A quick online search on another computer lead me to remount using
                        Code:
                        sudo mount -o remount,rw /
                        followed by
                        Code:
                        sudo dpkg --configure -a
                        and once everything was back on track, running dist-upgrade a few more times. At reboot, it said my root filesystem had errors and a manual fsck was needed. I ran it, saw some inode errors (should I be worried?) and hit yes to fix. Then, Ctrl-D and it restarted again.

                        This time, it booted fine, and Feisty is up and running. Wish the graphical tool had worked for me, but at least it worked out in the end.

                          I had exactly the same problem.

                          I backed up my sources.list and replaced it with one generated from http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/


                          It worked. Dunno why but it did.
