Hello Folks.
I helped a friend to have both a desktop & notebook with identical U/M 18.04.2 some time ago and they are fine...mostly.
Here's the 1 exception leading to my question:
Recently when I visited, I manually initiated the updating on his desktop and it went easily from 18.04.2 to 18.04.5.
Then I began the same process for his notebook - but his internet connection took a long enough break that I needed to get on the road to home, so I brought his notebook home with me.
Now, here, with a very solid internet connection, I ran the updater - it showed far less as needing to be done - and when finished it was still at 18.04.2 & running the updater says it is fully up to date, which is baffling.
Tried all the various commands to get it to move forward to the latest point release - but all I got at one point was the offer to upgrade the entire OS to 20.04...which may be OK, but wasn't what I aimed for.
Waited & tried it again a day later, and it still reports that all is up to date.
Please suggest as to how I may get this PC updated to the latest point release ??
Thanks for any help !!
