I am using 12.04.1 x86_64 on my system. This is fresh clean install. Every time I check for updates using "Updates Available" menu-item I get the partial upgrade option.



What does this mean? Just want to confirm on what version would my system be upgraded to. I haven't heard anything like 12.04.2 so I am assuming it would be 12.10 beta release.



I have checked the settings that notify me the type of updates release; it's set to LTS releases.



Is anybody else facing the issue?



Please have a look at the screen shot:-

A partial upgrade is actually just updating some programs but not all.



The most common reasons are listen on the screenshot you posted, with A Previous Upgrade Didn't Complete being the top (most common) one.



If you have updated recently, but ran into an error or just shut-down before completion, this could be the reason. Use of PPAs or other external software could also be at fault.



You should run the partial upgrade, restart if necessary, then check for and install any available updates again.



As Roland Taylor said, you will not be upgraded to 12.10 unless you explicitly choose to do so.
