Hi,
I have had some issues with Ubuntu lately. Everything works more or less fine, but I always after log in get this system error pop up. Tried to looked into it but it seams like it's different things all the time.
I had an issue with Grub (I guess) so my computer wouldn't boot up before, but I was able to log in via an old kernel and from that one I upgraded to a new Ubuntu release, therefore I'm now running 12.10. But next week I was planning to go for next LTS 14.04. So what do you think I should do. Is it enough with just upgrade or should I do a complete new install? And in case I do a complete new install what to do with my Home. Should I copy all my hidden files also, or will they maybe mess up everything?
I looked in the gParted and noted that I didn't have any mount point to Home so I guess that I need to erase everything and start from the beginning (I have my complete home backed up on my NAS) if I want to do a clean install.
Another thing is that I also added quite a lot of "software sources" that I do not know what they do. Is it possible in an easy way to find out? For example, this one I can understand is for wine (http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu), but this is a bit harder...(http://ppa.launchpad.net/nemh/gambas3/ubuntu).
Thanks,
Lars
