No, this will upgrade your existing system from 10.04 to 12.04. So if you have mediatomb installed on your 10.04 system it will still be installed on your 12.04 system. A fresh install would not have your existing packages and config files available. > Will the system then be on a devel release branch? Or will it stay on > the stable release branch?

The reason the upgrade isn't presented now is that we are making the assumption that people who are running 10.04 still are conservative about upgrading (which seems reasonable) and would want to upgrade when 12.04 is even more stable … like at the 12.04.1 point release. > What's the difference between "update-manager -d" and "do-release- > upgrade -d"? Effectively nothing, one has a gui and one does not. -- Brian Murray Ubuntu Bug Master -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989018 Title: Update Manager does not offer 10.04 -> 12.04 upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/989018/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
