  • Can you add the error message? – Eranda Peiris Apr 27 '18 at 03:50
  • Ubuntu by default doesn't upgrade 16.04.x to 18.04, but offers it when 18.04.1 is released (for maximum stability) – guiverc Apr 27 '18 at 04:01
  • sudo do-release-upgrade Checking for a new Ubuntu release No new release found. – Auno Gohe Apr 27 '18 at 04:12
  • @guiverc, when is that expected to be ? – Muhammad Gelbana Apr 29 '18 at 21:10
  • Yes you can of course force `do-release-upgrade -d` to 18.04, but its not offered as already stated for stability reasons until 18.04.1 which is scheduled for 26-July -2018 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseSchedule) (18.04 is still marked development-release until 18.04.1) – guiverc Apr 29 '18 at 23:37
  • @guiverc Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS has been released the 26 July so I wonder why it is still not available: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts – baptx Aug 11 '18 at 19:50
  • any updates I have, I've put on https://askubuntu.com/questions/1059924/should-i-be-offered-the-option-to-upgrade-to-18-04-1/1059938#1059938 (last ~eta was given thur 9th august, is still in the future) – guiverc Aug 11 '18 at 23:01

There is still no information about new release here: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release So it will not upgrade

I was having the same problem. But then I run this command in terminal:

update-manager -cd

and I got this:

update notification

Run the above command and see if it solves your problem.
