Hello #Linux people ^__^
I have a computer that is on #Ubuntu 24.04.5 #LTS.
Shouldn't I be able to upgrade to 26.04.1 LTS? I thought after the first point release of the next LTS „do-release-upgrade“ would do that?
But when I do that I get „There is no development[???] version of an LTS available.“
Thanks in advance!

@jfml The regular upgrade option should be available later this month. This is not a bug.

@teo Oh, good to know, I'm relieved that there's nothing wrong on my end ^__^

@jfml Try “do-release-upgrade -d”
(often times you will only get the upgrade prompt by the time the first point release is out)

@simonjust I always though that the -d flag would switch me from LTS (or regular) to a development update channel but as per this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1514346/what-does-development-version-from-do-release-upgrade-mean it looks like it would just update to the next LTS without the upgrade path? having been made officially available, hence the (for me confusing) -d flag?

@jfml Yes, it is confusing, but I find it far easier to jump between versions this way
You have multiple options with "do-release-upgrade -d" depending on what the option "Prompt" in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades is set to
If "Prompt" is set to "normal" - you will be upgraded to the next "normal" version, which is 26.10 "Stonking Stingray" currently in development (so I wouldn't use that option right now, but once 26.10 is released, you can get it immediately this way)
If "Prompt" is set to "lts" you should be upgraded to the next LTS, which is 26.04.1 LTS (Resolute Racoon)

@simonjust Oh, that's interesting, thanks!
