Hi,
I have Ubuntu 7.04 installed and updated it online to 7.10. Last night I decided to do the leap to do the online upgrade to 8.04.
I left the computer to do the auto downloads and installation of the packages in the Ubuntu update manager.
When I got back I found that a lack of electricity left it on battery power, which eventually ran out. So I got no idea where the process may have stopped.
So, when I boot up, I get the Grub loader that show Ubuntu 7.10 loaders and my Window XP. I select Ubuntu, it seems to start , then shows on a black screen some processes (too fast to read) that has an error, then the loader orange screen starts. That completes and goes black, then I get the login screen with "primary classroom graphic size", probably the standard 640x480. No problem with this as I know how to fix it. I log in, then voila I have KDE on my screen, no sign of Ubuntu.
I've tried running the Safe Mode and later reinstalling from the original disk, but this did not seem to work either, I still get Ubuntu loader, Ubuntu login page and then it goes to KDE.
I am unfamiliar with this environment, and have tried all "logical" links, but no luck.
How can I get Ubuntu desktop and confirm that the upgrade did in fact work?
Hope someone can help.
