It looks like 21.04 is not available to me through upgrade from 20.10. This is happening on two machines and on another I had to use the -d switch.

I have followed all the steps suggested by the numerous posts on how to run do-release-upgrade

do-release-upgrade is returning "No new release found".

As instructed :

In /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades I have set Prompt=normal

Not so often suggested but apparently often works: I've tried two Canada repos and US-duke -- same.

After each repo switch I apt update, apt-upgrade,apt dist-upgrade reboot

What am I missing?

There's a problem with the upgrade and newer systems (UEFI) which has halted the roll out of upgrades temporarily.

It will be resumed so just hang on in there for now until it's fixed.

This doesn't seem to affect vanilla installations from scratch though.

This from Ubuntu Weekly newsletter issue 681 link here

Joey Sneddon writes about the bug that impacts upgrades from Ubuntu 20.10 to Ubuntu 21.04 that has resulted in the decision of Ubuntu developers to not enable upgrades yet. Joey quotes Canonical's Brian Murray's advice which is to wait until the issue has been fixed and the upgrade path is turned on officially.
