[07:04] <TMTMTM> I'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?
[07:06] <Unit193> You'll have to adapt settings to look for all releases, and not just LTS releases if you'd like to do that.
[07:08] <TMTMTM> I 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.
[07:11] <TMTMTM> The documentation mentions editing  /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] <Unit193> Now what's  `do-release-upgrade` show you?
[07:12] <TMTMTM> Checking for a new Ubuntu release
[07:12] <TMTMTM> = Welcome to Ubuntu 23.10 'Mantic Minotaur' =
[07:13] <TMTMTM> et 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] <Unit193> Generally speaking yes, sometimes there's Ubuntu specific aspects but that's more UI based stuff.
[07:14] <TMTMTM> I am running Xubuntu in a VM, so experimenting isn't quite so scary.
[07:14] <TMTMTM> So go ahead and hit y at the Continue prompt, and carry on from there?
[07:14] <Unit193> Yeppers.
[07:15] <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.
[07:19] <TMTMTM> It'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] <TMTMTM> That is, upgrading my system with a command that's not even mentioned in the documentation.
[07:29] <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?)
[07:53] <TMTMTM> Hmmm, 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] <TMTMTM> Thank you to the people who gave me advice.
[08:16] <Unit193> TMTMTM: https://xubuntu.github.io/xubuntu-docs/user/C/upgrading.html#upgrading-xubuntu there's the section on upgrades, fwiw.
[08:20] <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.
