I just tried to upgrade Xubuntu to the new version (from 11.04 to 11.10). Everything went well until the very end of the process.
I get the following error message:
One or more running instances of xscreensaver or xlockmore have been detected on this system. Because of incompatible library changes, the upgrade of the libpam-modules package will leave you unable to authenticate to these programs. You should arrange for these programs to be restarted or stopped before continuing this upgrade, to avoid locking your users out of their current sessions.
It appears to me like my install is in limbo, because I don't know what the error message means and because I am warned NOT to proceed with the install.
I use only xubuntu, in a dedicated hard drive (no wubi). And, my system is a P4 at 3.2 GHz.
It sounds like I need to stop xscreensaver and xclockmore, then tell the install to proceed. Do I do this from the terminal mode, or do I terminate these by using the Task Manager.
I appreciate replies asap. as I can't use the computer until this problem is resolved.
TIA
