Trying to Update from Ubuntu 24.10 to Ubuntu 25.04.
I have kernel 6.11.0.25 Generic installed and fully Updated. I think I am in the GNOME desktop.
Tried to install via Software Manager both ways, then tried Terminal with ways I Googled from the Internet. After clicking Install, nothing happens. Not being and LTS release, I know I need to install new Updates to continue support.
How can I get 25.04 to install?

Your lacking any kind of useful information to help you!!!
You said you followed suggestions from the web! (I’m not a good mind reader) give us those examples Please.
sudo do-release-upgrade
will give us a better idea as to whats happening on your end.
Then you should be familiar with this result. Are you?
If not, then open a terminal, run sudo apt update and then sudo apt upgrade, copy the entire output of both, and paste them into your response.
Tip: You will get faster and better help if you show output or results instead of describing them.
That is the Sotware Updater screen I get.
Ran sudo apt update, then ran the apt list --upgradable, then the sudo apt upgrade. These are the results I copied from Terminal:
Fetched 1,208 kB in 1s (841 kB/s)
5 packages can be upgraded. Run ‘apt list --upgradable’ to see them.
michael@PC:~$ apt list --upgradable

sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
I have installed all available updates for 24.10 that Software Updater found.
yep seen that, how about:
sudo apt dist-upgrade
That you just have to be patient on, it should come in as testing is satsified. 
or with a successful Version upgrade.
What is phasing?
michael@PC:~$ sudo apt dist-upgrade

All you need to know:
https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/explanation/software/about-apt-upgrade-and-phased-updates/index.html
It is perfectly normal.
Once the updates are rolled out to your computer, it should be possible to upgrade to the next version.
Try:
sudo apt install grub-common grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common libcanberra-pulse
That will override the phasing and install the missing packages…
Great info I did not know. I will wait until I get another automatic screen to Update before I do anything else.
Thank you! Spike
That is the best practice 
>>>wait for the Phased upgrades to come in naturally.
