Attempting to upgrade from Ubuntu Server 16.04 to 18.*
I have read through multiple articles giving instruction on how to go from 16.04 to 18.*. None of which appear to be working for me.
When I get to
do-release-upgrade
I get the message
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
Currently I have /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades set to normal Setting this to LTS yields the same results.
Additionally this is after running both
sudo apt update && sudo apt update
Of course if I run
do-release-upgrade -d
I get the message
Upgrades to the development release are only
available from the latest supported release.
This makes sense to me. What am I missing here? Can I go from Ubuntu Server 16.04 to 18.*?
UPDATE
I noticed now when I run
sudo apt update
I get this output
sudo apt-get update
