Public bug reported: I'm running Ubuntu 19.10 and got a message prompting me to upgrade to 20.04. I clicked the "Upgrade now" (or something similar) button and then nothing happens at all.
Looking in the journal, I see: jun 22 08:19:00 grubby check-new-release-gtk[27508]: Checking for a new Ubuntu release jun 22 08:19:00 grubby check-new-release-gtk[27508]: Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading. jun 22 08:19:00 grubby systemd[4266]: update-notifier-release.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE jun 22 08:19:00 grubby systemd[4266]: update-notifier-release.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. jun 22 08:19:00 grubby systemd[4266]: Failed to start Notification regarding a new release of Ubuntu. I suspect this is the reason nothing happens, but that should really be reported to the user graphically, rather than just in the journal.
