Upgraded from Ibex to Jaunty.
Unable to boot into Gnome, initially from nVidia driver problems that have been resolved. At this point, unable to boot into Gnome due to (I think) some kernel issues.
At this point I need to complete the upgrade process (I think it was interrupted due to the original nVidia issue). I'm using the rt recovery kernel to boot into a root command prompt.
Running
sudo apt-get -f update
produces multiple examples of:
Err http://security.ubuntu.com jaunty-security Release.gpg
Could not resolve 'security.ubuntu.com'
W:Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty-security/Release.gpg Could not resolve 'security.ubuntu.com'
This is repeated for a number of repositories, but not all the ones listed as operational in the sources file.
However, neither
apt-get update
nor
apt-get upgrade
produce any result. No new packages are downloaded or fixed, and the return is always "You may want to run apt-get update/upgrade to correct these problems".
I've checked the source file and made sure no repositories are commented out other than those specifically listed as being so for Jaunty.
I've tried
[CODE}
dpkg - --configure -a
[/CODE]
thinking that the upgrade might still be running in the background but no success.
Since I can't boot into Gnome, I can't access the package manager to play with things in there. I'm hoping that resolving this issue might also resolve my inability to boot into Gnome. Currently, it freezes upon entry of the password.
Thanks! And thanks to the folks who have helped with the other upgrade issues so far!!
