NOTE: Specific to upgrade of 11.10 to 12.04 (and not from 10.04 LTS)



From: ubuntu.com - UbuntuDesktop - Upgrading - GUI method



Upgrading from Ubuntu 11.10



To upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 on a desktop system, start "Update Manager". It should display the following message: "New distribution release '12.04' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions".



I can confirm this works on my Ubuntu 11.10 desktop.



OR



From: ubuntu.com - UbuntuServer - Upgrading - command-line method



Upgrade



From 11.10 to 12.04



To upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 on a server system, follow the steps listed below:



Install the update-manager-core package (if it is not already installed).



Run sudo do-release-upgrade to launch the upgrade tool. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note that the server upgrade is now more robust and will utilize GNU screen and automatically re-attach in case of dropped connection problems, for example.



So, type the following commands:



sudo apt-get install update-manager-core

sudo do-release-upgrade

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

I had to do an apt-get purge update-manager-core and the install update-manager-core before do-release-upgrade would recognize any new releases for 11.10.
