Software & Updates show an OS Update, but when I click on either Update All or the Update button nothing happens. When I run sudo apt upgrade it tells me my system is up to date. (I’m running Ubuntu Budgie 17.10)
I would like to upgrade to 18.04.
some-else mentioned that today their notification came through. So basically just need to wait whilst your mirror catches up with the new notification package that has been released.
OK, thanks David. Just wondering why it says there’s an update, but nothing happens when
I try to update. I’ll wait it out a few more days.

Just in-case you have accidentally removed our meta package at some point in the past - reinstall the package ubuntu-budgie-desktop and update again. Maybe that is enough to kick it into life.
Tried that, it says it’s installed already. I’ll wait it out I guess. Thanks though.
What happens if you run the following?:
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgradeAn alternative to force the upgrade is to switch to a TTY (CTRL+ALT+F4), login and run
sudo do-release-upgrade
Don’t do this from a graphical session because often the session will hang mid way through the upgrade as packages replacing key existing components get unpacked.
Here are the results:

Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found.
In software & updates is your “notify” option set to “Never” ? - should be “For any new version”
ok - found it - it is a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1768748
I think that report is saying run:
update-notifier --force-release-check
Or you may just want to subscribe to that bug report and wait until it is fixed.
I just ran
sudo do-release-upgrade
again just a few minutes ago and it’s in the process of downloading/installing the upgrade now. Thanks again for your assistance!
