I was under the impression hardy alpha and beta releases would
eventually turn into LTS if I just kept running the update manager. Ive
had hardy installed for maybe 2 months or so, and have regularly ran
updates maybe twice a week to "keep up" As of today, I have no updates
available, and /boot/grub/menu.lst still shows development branch as
seen below...any idea why? (I have already run update-manager -d,
nothing shows as available)

Hi, thanks, but even after I run apt-get update, and then update-manager
~ -d it still reports no updates available? I should already be past
the RC by now, isnt that the natural flow from alpha>beta>RC, then LTS?
~ I did the update-manager -d about 2 months ago, and chose the upgrade
to new release "hardy".
Maybe its got to do with the update servers overloaded due to the
release,? the only thing i can get is the bittorrent link, i already
downloaded 386 server, and 386 desktop and am seeding to help out. Let
me tell you!! that was one fast download too, got both in less than an
hour, averaged 820kb/s DL between the 2!! (spikes almost 1000kb/s) , now
seeding at around 40 something.

This is correct.

Dunno, I tracked Hardy since before the Alpha releases and I have:
## ## End Default Options ##
title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic
What is the contents of /etc/lsb-release ?
> (I have already run update-manager -d,

That's normal. the "-d" switch is needed to tell update-manager to try
and upgrade to a not-yet-released new version, e.g., from 7.10 to 8.04
alpha/beta. Currently there is, however, no in-development version
8.10.
(From the man page of update-manager:
-d, --devel-release
Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible)
Within the 8.04 branch, the daily updates from pre-alpha up to final
release (and any updates that come after release, e.g., security fixes)
are just "normal" upgrades that don't need the "-d" switch.

it has rather something to do with the -d you use
see update-manager -h ... the -d tells u-m to try to upgrade to the next
*development* release (intrepid (8.10) now that hardy is released) which
indeed doesnt exist yet. try without -d and see if that helps.

thanks for the tip, I tried it without the switch and still get the same
response. no updates available. Im sure there probably isnt any
updates as I kept up quite regularly during development. the only thing
thats weird by me is that menu.lst still says development release, i
thought the development part would drop off eventually?

menu.lst will only get updated if a new kenrel is getting installed,
yours was probably already the latest when hardy got final. have a look
at the output of lsb_release -a, that actually tells you what the system
thinks it is
if that also shows development in its output then something is wrong.

You can run 'sudo update-grub' to regenerate grub's menu.lst. Perhaps
it will then have correct titles.

was still in the development cycle, which i DONT want to be. thanks again.
