Update almost worked but...

[egruber]

It was going well. It was almost done with the installing packages portion when it stopped with some error. It never did the cleaning step or the reboot. I booted the PC and I was able to boot successfully, but now there are some minor glitches. For example, if I list all my apps, I don't see all the associated icons. Just a little white square (like a sheet of paper). Some are displayed properly, some are not. I think everything else is OK. I have all my data files.

Is there any way to have the install 'complete' without having to create a USB or CD image and redo it? I had a similar problem after the last major upgrade and doing this was a real hassle.

Thanks!

You could try

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install aptitude

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

I tried these, but I did not see any noticeable difference after it was done. But I found the fix in this thread. Just change the theme and change back!
