trying to do release upgrade to 22.04

Asked by infoHata

it seems I cannot upgrade my ubuntu anymore. I've used a minimal 17.10 install to install it to my very finicky Dell XPS X15 laptop. Now whatever I do with the list.sources, it fails. Current sources should be attached.

lsb_release -rd

infoHata Hello -

The "normal" LTS upgrade path will open shortly after the .1 release. However one can force the release-upgrade:
sudo do-release-upgrade -d
make sure that the 20,04 install is fully updated !

-my bit to try and help-

Thank you. I'll be forced to low bandwidth situation until September since -2hrs as of now. Once back to broadband then I'll try again with -d.

Yes, 20.04 is updated.

1. Planned release date of Ubuntu 22.04.1 is August 4, 2022 (and that's the date when release upgrades should be possible from 20.04 to 22.04).

2. The mirror that you have selected as main repository http://mirror.hosthink.net/ubuntu/ seems to be outdated and is missing the current Ubuntu releases (jammy and kinetic), even if https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/mirror.hosthink.net-archive tells "is up to date".

I guess that is something that needs to be discussed with the mirror admins.

For the time being you should select a different repository server in your vicinity.
