I am presently using Ubuntu 10.10 which I successfully upgraded for 10.04. I have attempted to upgrade to 11.04 but it did not work. I would like to upgrade but do it in a safe way so as not to mess up things as have happened on all my previous attempts/
On my other attempts to upgrade using the Update Manager it would go about its business. Then tells me the update had been successful, however when I tried to use this new update nothing worked. I could not open any of my browsers or access anything which might work or should work. Is there a way to update safely? This 11.04 does one need to have a newer PC for it to work? I am presently using an older PC; a Gateway all in one. I have had no problems going for Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 then 10.04 next 10.10 but when I came to 11.04 disaster struck.
Does 11.04 require some hardware which my Gateway may not have or some software? I do recall something about Unity and Gnome? Although I am not sure if Gnome is the right word or subject matter? :confused: Regardless I was not given a chance to choose one over the other for within seconds the screen went haywire nothing worked and by nothing I do mean nothing . I don't recall what I did but somehow I got out of there and used the 10.04 LTS Disk to start over.
I would like to try again. I do not wish to repeat the disaster that came about from previous tries. I am hoping someone here will guide me to a successful update?
