TMTMTMI'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but is there really no way to upgrade an existing Xubuntu 23.04 installation to 23.10?07:04
Unit193You'll have to adapt settings to look for all releases, and not just LTS releases if you'd like to do that.07:06
TMTMTMI did that months ago, if you mean logo - Settings - Software & Updates, Updates tab, "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: For any new version". There is no "box at the top" of anything that I can see.07:08
TMTMTMThe documentation mentions editingĀ  /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to make the line "prompt=normal". I just now saw that mine is "Prompt=normal". I wonder if it's case-sensitive?07:11
Unit193Now what's  `do-release-upgrade` show you?07:11
TMTMTMChecking for a new Ubuntu release07:12
TMTMTM= Welcome to Ubuntu 23.10 'Mantic Minotaur' =07:12
TMTMTMet cetera. I am not clear about Xubuntu instructions versus Ubuntu instructions, so I don't know if it's safe to treat it as if it were Ubuntu.07:13
Unit193Generally speaking yes, sometimes there's Ubuntu specific aspects but that's more UI based stuff.07:13
TMTMTMI am running Xubuntu in a VM, so experimenting isn't quite so scary.07:14
TMTMTMSo go ahead and hit y at the Continue prompt, and carry on from there?07:14
Unit193Yeppers.07:14
Unit193...There's some graphical way to do that, somewhere.  I don't really use that though, so I don't know it.07:15
TMTMTM"Upgrade tool" -- oh, good, I'll be upgraded too.07:15
TMTMTMIt's running. -- I do want to note that it's disheartening to see Google Search say: No results found for "do-release-upgrade" site:docs.xubuntu.org.07:19
TMTMTMThat is, upgrading my system with a command that's not even mentioned in the documentation.07:19
TMTMTM(something came up here saying "unread messages". I refreshed the page but now nothing is shown. Can anyone let me know whether I missed something addressed to me?)07:29
TMTMTMHmmm, well, the update has completed. It complained about a local change to 50unattended-setup or some such, but now lsb_release -a says 23.10, so I'll see.07:53
TMTMTMThank you to the people who gave me advice.07:53
Unit193TMTMTM: https://xubuntu.github.io/xubuntu-docs/user/C/upgrading.html#upgrading-xubuntu there's the section on upgrades, fwiw.08:16
TMTMTM"if a new version of Xubuntu is available, a box at the top of the window will appear saying that a new distribution release is available" did not happen for me.08:20
