I'm pretty new to running linux, but I know that 19.04 was released today and I wanted to upgrade from my current 18.10. However, when I follow the release notes here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiscoDingo/ReleaseNotes#Official_flavour I get the message "The software on this computer is up to date". I made sure that my update settings are set to "any new version" and "normal" in the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
file.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help!
Side note: I had to disable this PPA: http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvbn-rm/ppa/ubuntu because it would cause errors in apt updating. Do I need to re-add it? If so how do I do so without it giving me an error?
Edit: I have followed the procedure recommended in the documentation which is identical to the suggested duplicate, but I am not given the option to upgrade. I have not yet tried the
do-release-upgrade -d
option as I don't want to upgrade to the developer version.

This method ended with warning message:
and I have to run
sudo dpkg --configure -a
before reboot to prevent lock-up of new 19.04. Maybe it is VirtualBox guest issue. Reported as bug 1825420.really I'll recommend to wait 2-4 days for official stable method with any mirror.
