Hi Friends,
I am facing a big trouble in Upgarding from 8.10 to 9.04.:(
It started of as a normal upgrade using the upgrade manager. Even though I faced some trouble downloading the packages because of loss of internet connection, I was able to continue from where I left out, when I tried the upgrade again.
Once the packages are downloaded it started installing the packages one by one. Everything was going fine until the PC shutdown itself for no reason. I was really confused:confused: what happened as i did not really see it happening.
Now when I boot the PC, it loads the GRUB Loader. I was surprised to see only the 8.10 version entries in the GRUB menu list. However when I selected the latest entry i got the 9.04 splash screen and the login screen also resembled the 9.04 login. Once i entered my credentials, it took me to a blank screen- No icons, No taskbar, nothing....
I am able to start the terminal window with the shortcut key i had set earlier while using the 8.10 version. And using the terminal I can start browsers and applications required. However I could not get the internet connection also(I connect from a Wireless router). I am sure that the upgrade did not succeed before the PC went down, but not sure on how to repair my system with 9.04 in complete working condition.
Could you please help me...........:cry:
For your information I faced a similar problem while upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10. During that period I got some commands that could redo the upgrade step by step through the terminal from the forums. The upgrade still had minor problems but i was able to fix it in due course.
