Greetings Everyone!

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and 2.6.35-27-generic.

When I run the Upgrade Manager, the 'Distribution Upgrade' window pops up and in bold letters reads 'Running partial upgrade'.

The next line reads '>Preparing to upgrade' and sits there. Mean while, the process begins to perform a great deal of constant hard drive activity. The window's horizontal activity bar reads 'Calculating the changes' at the bottom of the 'Distribution Upgrade' window.

What's wrong?

Your help is much appreciated.

Is it stuck calculating changes ? Could you post a screen shot of the update manager please , I'm curious because I can't find any information about a 10.10 distribution upgrade and there is usually an announcement . I have not received any upgrade for 10.10 yet , just normal updates.

Myself and others have had bad experiences partial updates . I would cancel and wait until all the packages appear in the update manager . It is easier to wait than it is to fix broken packages.
