I was wondering if there was a way to downgrade automatically from 9.04 back to 8.10. I was using 8.10 and it worked wonderfully, when I upgraded to 9.04 yesterday using update manager, all the graphics lagged. I know this is because my computer isn't the latest and greatest, but I was wondering if there is a way to use package manager or some other program to reverse the process, and uninstall 9.04. Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is a repeat.

Hi,

It's be better you reinstall 8.10 it'll clean and way more stable than downgrading. Here is link from Help Ubuntu on How to downgrade (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto)

Good Luck :)
