Hi all,
I've searched some in the forums, but I haven't spotted my problem there, which is that I chose to keep my old rather accept the new usb configuration during the upgrade. I misread the text and can now "repent at leisure". I have no way, for example, to use my usb mics or other usb peripherals.
I'm not sure afterward what the explanation during the upgrade said. Can I retrieve the text from the upgrade installation for more careful reading? I've located a pile of stuff in /var/log about the upgrade but if someone knows where it actually is, I'd be grateful for the pointer.
Is there a simple solution? Is a second upgrade possible, so I could just say update instead of keep?
Thanks,
Daniel
The solution was discovering what the problem actually was. The more I checked things, the more obvious it was that I had usb functionality inside Hardy but not inside VirtualBox. That was a much thinner slice of salami ;-), and I found the answer here (http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2007/12/installing-virtualbox-with-usb-support.html).
