Ok, so I decided that I would upgrade to 9.04 Alpha 5 from 8.10. I was downloading it through the package manager when my mum asked if she could check her email. So I did switch user and let her go on for a little while. The problem was a buggy screensaver that wouldn't wake forced me to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (as a Linux newbie this was all I could do) and it didn't install. Upon my next session and run of the update manager, it said that not all updates could be installed and that I needed to run a partial upgrade. So I clicked the button, and a window popped up showing the update info (preparing, downloading, installing progress etc).
It goes through preparing upgrade and then the window disappears and nothing happens. Each time I open up update manager it tries to get me to do this again, so is there another way that I can run the partial update and upgrade to the 9.04 Alpha version through the terminal or something like that?
Thanks for the help ^^
Ps. Usually I try to fix things myself before going onto forums for help, but I have to go to bed soon so I thought that I could get a reply to see in the morning instead of spending some time doing trial and error. I'm sorry if the answer is really obvious (like downloading the full image) and I am wasting your time =\
