Thanks much for taking time to help me! I ran the command you sent below. Result: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Do I need to do something else to download the upgrade first?
I looked, but couldn't find any configuration options for my Update Manager. Thanks again.

It seems your Update Manager is set to not show new versions, so just doing this will be fastest. Note: before you upgrade, back up your files. You never know if something could go wrong, it's best to be safe. To upgrade, open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal), and run the following command: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade This is will take a while. When it finishes, you'll have Ubuntu 10.04! -- After loading the latest update today, the web browser will not launch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628989 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: synaptic After I ran Update Manager and it installed the latest updates, my browser has either disappeared or fails to work.
