Ubuntu not booting after upgrade to 10.10

[vishnu.vyasan]

Hi Guys,

I am a new user to ubuntu. I have installed ubuntu a week back and since then i am Loving it. I have a couple of quries.

1) Since the launch of ubuntu 10.10 is very near i suppose it is almost safe to upgrade to ubuntu 10.10. I had done the following to upgrade. update-manager -d and upgraded to 10.10. The system has failed to boot after that what should i do to safely upgrade the software. Is it required to uninstall all the drivers prior to the upgrading of the os?

2) How can we take backup of the data we have in ubuntu? for example pictures and music folders etc?

Now i have safe and superbly running 10.04 version. is it recommanded to upgrade to 10.10 now?

Note: please find hardware i am using from my signature.

Thanks guys.

If you want Long Term Support and are not curious about newer software, stick with 10.04.1 until you start feeling comfortable with upgrade problems :-) I know, they appear randomly.

Following link will give you a good idea of backing up via command line.
