After clicking the upgrade button and entering my password, nothing happens. When I run the same command (do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE) from Konsole, I get the following Python error: Checking for a new Ubuntu release kde Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/do-release-upgrade", line 157, in <module> fetcher = get_fetcher(options.frontend, m.new_dist, options.data_dir) File "/usr/bin/do-release-upgrade", line 44, in get_fetcher label=_("Downloading the release upgrade tool")) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeFetcherKDE.py", line 200, in __init__ uic.loadUi(uiFile, self.dialog) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt5/uic/__init__.py", line 222, in loadUi return DynamicUILoader(package).loadUi(uifile, baseinstance, resource_suffix) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt5/uic/Loader/loader.py", line 72, in loadUi return self.parse(filename, resource_suffix, basedir) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt5/uic/uiparser.py", line 972, in parse document = parse(filename) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1184, in parse tree.parse(source, parser) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 585, in parse source = open(source, "rb") FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/ubuntu-release-upgrader/fetch-progress.ui' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10 in Discover Actual Results: Nothing happens. I can keep clicking Upgrade and entering my password, nothing changes. Expected Results: Successful upgrade or useful error message. This is a pretty clean and barely used install of Kubuntu 16.04 on a laptop, although I don't expect that other packages should affect this behavior. I do have Steam installed, in case that has sucked in something that may be causing problems.
Hey. Had the same issue as you. Was able to fit it by running: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt Not sure why the files were missing (perhaps some dist-upgrade gone amiss?). But it's working fine now.

Ah, seems that this has already been found before: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-discover/+bug/1633692 It's also in the "Known Problems" section of: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YakketyYak/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu

That seems to have nailed it - many thanks!

I wasn't sure where else to look. I ended up upgrading from the CLI, but next time I'll check the Release Notes and Ubuntu Launchpad before reporting a bug here.
This is a bug in Ubuntu, please follow up there.
