    I have Ubuntu 15.10 installed. I want to upgrade to 16.04. The option to do this does not show up in software updater. When I ran do-release-upgrade -cd it returns No new release found.

    So I downloaded the iso and put it on a usb stick. When I boot up into the installer the option to upgrade 15.10 to 16.04 is blanked out. It will allow me to erase the current installation or install alongside.

    Is there anything else I can try before erasing my current installation (thus losing some of my settings).

    1. 'sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list' 2. Check every rows to find the word wily and change those to xenial 2. Ctrl-X to save, Y to yes, Press Enter key 3. Update, upgrade, dist-upgrade.
