upgrades from 16.04 LTS will not be enabled until a few days after the 18.04.1 release

  1. Why do they wait "few days" after the 18.04.1 release? The version 18.04.1 is already here, but sudo apt-get dist-upgrade refuses to upgrade.

  2. How to force the upgrade now? Are there any bad things if I do it?

    You need to ask this question to the Ubuntu devs, nobody else can give you an answer. Commented Jul 27, 2018 at 8:54
  • When the tool for upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS is ready (tested and debugged), you will be offered to use it. You can try manually before that, but that will be more risky. Commented Jul 27, 2018 at 9:36

try this command at your own risk:

sudo do-release-upgrade

for the development release:

sudo do-release-upgrade -d
