I have a system that's currently on 19.10 and I would like to get it upgraded. I didn't realize this wasn't on an LTS, so now I'm having trouble.

I've been through all the steps I can find including the EOL tutorials. I have two problems.

The first has to do with /etc/apt/sources.list file. The URLs have been changed from archive to old-releases and that seems to be OK, but if I run

sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop

I get these messages

I cannot figure out where the "us.archive.ubuntu.com" is coming from. Is there someplace besides the sources.list that the source urls are?

Then I went to the upgrade tools for specific releases (https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release) and pulled down the focal update tool from here (UpgradeTool: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal-updates/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/focal.tar.gz)

When I extract and run this it comes up with a box that lists the steps. When it gets to the Calculating the changes step, it just resets and exits.

Is there a way to get a log to see why that focal script is failing?

Finally any other suggestions would be helpful. There's a lot of configuration on this machine and I would prefer not to just to a clean install on it if I don't have to.

Edit: This question was marked as closed because it matched an other old question. The answer to that question was to update /etc/apt/sources.list to reference http://old-releases.ubuntu.com.

I did this.

Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted
deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan main restricted

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-updates main restricted deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan-updates main restricted

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal universe deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan universe deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-updates universe deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan-updates universe

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal multiverse deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-updates multiverse deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan-updates multiverse

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ eoan-backports main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security main restricted deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-security main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security universe deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-security universe deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security multiverse deb-src http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-security multiverse

I see no references to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu in /etc/apt/sources.list but I am getting an error related to that.
