How long before I can just apt-get dist-upgrade ?

This. The GUI software updater hasn't found the new version yet either. I want new ubuntu :D

You sure? I'm getting no results.

apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't change your release (it's been renamed apt full-update to make that more clear). Either run apt update and then run Software Updater or do-release-upgrade on the command line.

Nope, not working. 

tyr:~$ sudo apt update
...
All packages are up to date.
tyr:~$ sudo apt full-update
E: Invalid operation full-update
tyr:~$ sudo apt-get full-update

tyr:~$ do-release-upgrade

Have to run do-release-upgrade with -d until the first point release if you're currently on LTS.

I just updated and it told me that 16.04 is available.

u/Leockard Apr 21 '16

Nope. Still nothing.

"Alt +f2" "Update-manager -d"

Type your sudo password and follow the prompts.

That sends you to the development version, not the release.

If its still showing the development release then they haven't updated whatever kicks back to the repos to show 16.04, or didn't update the text that displays to not include the words "development". This is the officially recommended way to update to a new release.

No it doesn't. It forces the releases metadata update and will additionally offer to upgrade you to the next version early if applicable. (Right now it's not applicable because 16.04 LTS is released.)

I've tried it.

Welcome to the Ubuntu 'Xenial Xerus' development release

u/HannasAnarion Apr 21 '16

Aah, okay. Thanks!

But it does. I'm doing it anyway, because I'm impatient, but when I used "Update-manager -d" the resulting popup said "Ubuntu 16.04 Development Beta, Do Not Install on Production Machines"
