Hello,
I am having a very troublesome issue.
It all began after I upgraded from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10. The default interface in 11.10 is Unity, and I wanted to switch to gnome. I followed the directions on this site http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-oneiric-remove-unity-and.html.
After restarting the computer, I had no GUI to speak of. It would load into a black screen with text (a non-graphical interface?)
I could still use the terminal with ctrl+alt+f1, however, many errors began showing up.
When trying to install anything with apt-get each package had "Failed to fetch" in front of it and it finally said
Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
None of this has solved the issue.
In addition, when logging in it states
New release '12.04.1 LTS' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
And when I do so it states the following
Checking for a new ubuntu release.
No new release found.
I hope someone can help. I'll be glad to provide more info if necessary.
Thanks,
aluminum
