I upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop today, using Update Manager. Since 10.04 is a Long Term Support release which features a long period of stability (bug fixes and security fixes only), 10.10 is not automatically offered. I had to hit the Settings button in Update Manager to bring up the Software Sources dialog, then the Updates tab and select "Normal releases" from the Show new distribution releases: drop-down menu in order to get the 10.10 upgrade to show up.
How to get help with Ubuntu on IRC chat
If you're new to Ubuntu or Linux, and you've ever run into a problem or question that you just can't seem to solve with Google searches, you will be happy to know that there is another resource available to you. Even if you're experienced, there's always going to be something new and obscure that trips you up once in a while. That's where IRC comes in.
IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is an ancient protocol for chatting on the Internet which is alive and flourishing. It is the predecessor to IM software, Web chatrooms and online gaming chat systems. IRC is commonly used for informal support and chat related to application software, operating systems, games, and a whole host of general interest topics like sports, politics and religion.
