Upgraded through Update manager..painless as always

[Xir]

Upgraded two VMs through do-release-update. Both with same hardware on them and the only difference being one was a LAMP box and the other was not. The one that was not worked flawlessly. The LAMP box failed to boot. Downloaded the server install CD and created a new VM in VMware Server. Began the install. Shortly after selecting my country and selecting "Begin the Install" the system sits there doing nothing.

I reinstalled using 8.10 and am trying the do-release-upgrade path again.

I use the ATI X-1650Pro, for which there is no driver at this time. I upgraded using the upgrade manager. My system boots but slows to a crawl and I am unable to use my mouse (can't click on anything). Have to hit "reset"...

Again, PO'd at ATI for their slowness in releasing new drivers.

Update not available, neither via update-manager nor via command line (apt-get dist-upgrade)
ran apt-get update maybe 20 times the last 30 minutes on my PC, nothing.
I started my notebook there the update manager but not the command line found the upgrade.
InCRAPid won't let me go...

I think you need to open the update manager in order to update to another distro.

Clean install. I have an Intel965, so I was affected by the issues in the release notes.
I solved this problem by installing 2.6.30rc2 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/
Also installed intel drivers from the Debian Sid repo.

Ultra Special thanks to this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582
I reccommend all Intel users chech it out if they are having issues.

I'm currently upgrading from the automatic upgrader at 50K/sec . I had tried 9.04 before but I had MAJOR problems with the ATI fglrx drivers and resinstalled Intrepid. There IS a new version, 9.04 of the ATI drivers, and they say that it supports Jaunty...we'll see in a few hours.




7 hours later: The 9.04 drivers didn't work at all, so I installed the 9.1 drivers, which at least gives me a login screen and a desktop. No OpenGL (yet), but that 9.01 driver is on ATI's site.

3 days later: Nothing but problems with the fglrx drivers, no OpenGL, and (sigh) a return to stable ol' 8.10. 9.04 maybe later...

fresh install: no problem, everything worked just fine...
I can even say that [so far] Jaunty is the best release I have ever installed!

have fun!!!

After reinstalling and performing the do-release-upgrade again, again the VM will not boot. I guess I'm done working with the upgrade today, back to 8.10 for me until I have time to troubleshoot it.
