You may just want to reinstall, never trust the windows restore feature I say :D
Yeah the command is correct.
However if you have a CD or USB you can upgrade Ubuntu via that too without a reinstall.
You know )double posing here it seems sorry) another completely useless "feature" in Ubuntu 13.10 is the input source button in the indicators.
Sure its nice if you need to change your layout but...
I remain neutral on Unity as I both love it and hate it at the same time.
On one hand its locked down, offers very little customization, and you need so much to make it work the way you want to.

Clean install, though my initial test I did update.
I cleaned my home partition and everything too.
I decided to make a poll about this as I do hope I am not alone in my dislike for the new smart scopes in Ubuntu 13.10.
I mean holy crud does smart scopes bite the proverbial gluteus maximus.

Flash is all but dead in linux, luckiliy there is goodgle chrome with pepperflash to fill in the gap (for now)

Okay so me your local friendly troublemaker is back here to give my opinion on Ubuntu 13.10 so far:
The good:
Ubuntu 13.10 is very slick and actually well made.
It performs like a charm, very...
Well it goes down to the matter that windows comes pre installed on practically every computer out there, meanwhile linux comes on a mere handful of computers.
And I was responding to why the...

Windows also needs codecs and drivers to work.
Linux cannot come with codecs by default by law, most of those codecs are under...
Well gnome is trying to do what you want...
They want to rename nautilus "files"
they want to rename Epiphany as "web"
seems boring and generic.
Yes, after all that is what this topic is about.
Well pre installed codecs and all that are a factor as well, Mint for example has flash playback out of the box (for now) and some people dont know you need codecs and stuff in Ubuntu/Fedora.
But...
well it matters if you are a newcommer to Linux, after all you would not want to drop a long time windows user a copy of Gentoo or linux from scratch.
Well to be fair I do think most of the intermediate distros any user can pick up, even Ubuntu is very easy on its own and decent for beginners.
The big stumbler is there not being any codecs being...
Actually Unity is pretty decent with a mouse, but yeah the rest of the mobile UI's dont know what a mouse is.
Eh its the same story here as every UI involving the move to mobile UI's.
Keyboard combos or touchscreen swipes.
Have you ever heard of a mouse?
You know one of these things?...
Here is how I see it:
Beginners:
Linux Mint
ZorinOS
SolydXK
Netrunner
Intermediate:
Ubuntu
The forum was hacked out of a flaw in Vbullitin then a hole in Ubuntu itself, the forums do not reflect the security of the OS
Well the thing holding me back is my graphics card, everything else is fine, but that is my stickler for Ubuntu, it works with my graphics card while othersd have issues with it.

Enjoy your imaginary phones, I live in the real world and I have to use what works best for me....
Yes Clementine is a QT app and not really a KDE app... but its still an app that relies on some KDE libraries and there is this thing called dependency hell.
And no my opinion is not nonsense, just...
For me I am divided on Unity, on one hand I actually kind of like it as I like its overall look and feel.
I do like the dash for its type searching, once you get used to searching apps via its...
Look for me I just want a usuable desktop OS, I dont want to go back to windows... at all.
I like linux and I like using linux.
Its just that Ubuntu is usually my fallback distro, heck I am using...
