Trenoweth is still having a problem:
Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions.


I have now successfully done:

Find the line:
Prompt=lts
change it to
Prompt=normal

Press CTRL+X to exit, press Y, then press ENTER

You have now saved the new file.

now run:

sudo do-release-upgrade

I have done this but the result, though, was "No new release found"

***************************************************************************************

gksudo synaptic

see if you can change the release upgrade to normal.
 

Ran gksudo synaptic which gave me Synaptic Package Manager, but I
couldn't find any reference to the release upgrade

*****************************************************************************************

sudo dpkg --configure -a

then to update and upgrade and also check pending or missing packages,
still using terminal type:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get clean 
sudo apt-get update

This gave me a long list with several "Failed to fetch" messages, all
for hardy.

sudo apt-get upgrade

Produced 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Same result as above

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get --reinstall install update-manager

1 reinstalled

sudo apt-get autoremove

Then please retry to use the update-manager to check if your issue is
solved

Produced 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
again

Problem not resolved :-(  Still the same as before.


*************************************************************************************

Which Computer, Dell-mini?

Yes, Dell Mini 9

Make sure Hardy is up to date.

Apart from the few files that would not update (mentioned above) it is.

I'm beginning to think I'd simply do better with a clean install of 9.4
which I believe I can do from a USB pen drive?  If not I do have an
external disk drive I could use.

I am familiar with CLI based environments as I used to program on a
couple of Amigas, but that was ten years ago!
