14.10 install or so I thought

[vsreeser]

downloaded and burned kubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso

Installed it. then i ran cat /etc/issue and it said 14.04.1, Ok, let's upgrade to 14.10

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

waited a bit (10 minutes or so) while it ran. reboot to CLI. run /cat/issue again. It still claims I am at 14.04.1
Did I do something wrong? or am I looking in the wrong place. Splash screen on boot does day 14.04

Ok.. you got the first part done.

Now you just need to do the upgrade:

bweinel@beck:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade

Well, i did that, but it replies

virgil@dads-kubuntu:~$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l

virgil@dads-kubuntu:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found

Seems the things that should work, don't. On the other hand, some things went very well. one of the few times I have been able to install the nvidia driver without issue.

You probably have do-release set to "LTS" only, thus no upgrade available. Try this:

cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades |grep Prompt

You will likely see this:

Prompt=lts

If so, and you want "normal" upgrades (every full release) to be available, just type this:

sudo sed -i 's/=lts/=normal/' /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades

Then try your sudo do-release-upgrade command again...

this is a common misconception,,,,,,,,,,,,"sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" dose NOT take you up a Kubuntu release version ,,,,, it just alows apt-get to remove an old ver. of a package and install a new ver, apt-get upgrade will not remove anything ,,, only update the current ver.

+1 on what @oshunluvr has told you to do

That did it. the release upgrade is going through now

Well, took a while. Well, 5 mins to download all the files, a lot longer than that to do the upgrade, but it's done. Now have to figure out if I want to put kde5 on here or not. If I can revert back to kde4 if 5 crashes a lot, I will jump in
