Can not upgrade

[attila_66]

I can not make distro upgrade. Is there a problem or problem is on my side?

Upgrade from what version?

[attila_66]

From 21.10 latest.
It says "no new release found"

Note the message in blue:

From 21.10, there may a delay of a few hrs to days between the official release announcements and the Ubuntu Release Team enabling upgrades.

If you want to force it, try using the "-d" option in place of the "-m" one.

That part is only related to LTS-to-LTS upgrades.
Ubuntu still usually waits for some length of time before flipping the upgrade switch on non-LTS.
it gives some time for the impatient users to discover any upgrade bugs missed during the dev cycle, before officially enabling the upgrade notification

For Information to other (impatient) people.
Upgraded AMD system without any problems.

My link above shows what to do.

But apparently there was something in the BIOS that refused to recognise this drive, mucking around in the BIOS made it possible to boot this Kubuntu 22.04 drive.
The mucking around was setting the boot from Legacy to Both Legacy and UEFI.

That suggests there's BIOS/MBR and UEFI confusion. Win 7 suggests the drive is MBR, but you should be sure about that.

If an installer boots in BIOS mode it cannot do a UEFI install, and vice versa. It's crucial to boot the USB in the right mode, and at some point in the last few years Kubuntu isos stopped supporting BIOS/MBR mode. If the drive is MBR, that would explain why 20.04 has no trouble but first you couldn't get 22.04 to boot, and second after allowing the UEFI boot the install failed.

If you want to install a recent Kubuntu on BIOS/MBR, I've read that you can use Ventoy. (Once you've got Ventoy set up on a USB, things get simpler, one does an ordinary copy of .iso files to the drive.) But it would again be crucial to boot Ventoy in the right mode.
