when I run do-release-upgrade, it says that I need to install all current updates for my system to upgrade, but I just did that, Discover says I am up to date on updates and have nothing more to update, so how do I upgrade??
Error Messages / Logs
when I click on the popup that shows on launch to upgrade, it gives an error “log” that is completely empty, when I run do-release-upgrade, it says
do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
What I’ve Tried
do-release-upgrade, clicking upgrade in the popup that shows on launch
The following packages have been kept back:
obs-studio
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
do-releases-upgrade did not work again after running both of those so I imagine it’s because I need to upgrade obs, how can I make it not hold it back from being updated?
I would uninstall the noble-backports obs-studio, run the upgrade, and then re-install it from the regular universe repository after the upgrade completes.
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade # or dist-upgrade
It is almost certainly why obs-studio won’t upgrade. the apt upgrade will only upgrade packages that are already installed, so long is doing so does not pull in new packages.
If you full-upgrade (or the older dist-upgrade) then it will upgrade all packages, even those whose update requires more packages to be installed.
running full-upgrade still didn’t upgrade obs. on what gpmitch said, what commands would I run to do that? and would you happen to be able to help me backup my obs settings etc before doing so or will I have to figure that out myself?
sudo apt install obs-studio

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
obs-studio : Depends: libobs0t64 (= 30.2.3+dfsg-3~bpo24.04.1) but 30.0.2+dfsg-3build1 is to be installed
Recommends: obs-plugins (= 30.2.3+dfsg-3~bpo24.04.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
As this is a backport, and your ultimate goal is to go to 26.04.1, I’d agree with others, and temporarily sudo apt remove obs-studio, then do the do-release-upgrade, and put obs-studio back afterwards.
