hi, tried to install 11.04 with auto update aplication from 10.10, normal desctop ubuntu, it started out and downloaded fine then i walked away for a while and screensaver came on. when i moved the mouse the screensaver just froze and stayed like that. i waited a while then hard booted. when i turned it on again it had just this command prompt thing that needed my password, i dont know linux commands so it didnt get me very far. its a dual boot so at startup i can choose from a bunch of old versions of ubuntu and an xp which is what i'm on now. i was thinking i could update one of these versions??

Don't use auto-update in your situation again.

Instead create either a usb bootable version of Ubuntu and install it from there, or use a good old fashioned disc.
