[QUOTE]Sorted with Update Manager... not.
Hello all.
I have just tried to "apt-get dist-upgrade" from 8.04., hoping to end up with 10.04
However, the result is I am still running 8.04.
(Synaptic does not show any link to upgrade to 10.04)
I now only have 2 screen resolutions available, 800 x 600 & 640 x 480, I had the 1280 x 1024 resolution previously.
Some of the packages could not be downloaded, , "--fix missing" made no difference.
Rebooting from cold has not made any difference.
Help?
AMD Athlon64 2-core, 2Gb RAM, HP flat monitor[ /QUOTE]
Further adventures of an upgrade.
It didn't work. The system would boot into Windows, but not Ubuntu. So, after using GParted to set the partitions, I used a LFM cover-disc & installed UNR 10.04, with no problems at all.
What is wrong with Ubuntu/GRUB when upgrading via the Net? Is this a known problem? If so, where is the warning?
I don't spend a lot of time online reading about Ubuntu, but I do tell people how good Linux is.
Verdict? Could do better, Ubuntu. But, I should RTFM first, & then whinge!
