Hello,
I'm trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 on a Dell Studio 1536 laptop (AMD Turion 64bit processor) using the upgrade manager. It seems to have installed most of the upgrades, but with progress bar showing 3 minutes remaining, it's hanging. The last command shown in the terminal is
* Starting powernowd...
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? The install has been hanging for more than an hour now. Nothing else has crashed though - I can still use the mouse, the menus and keyboard etc. Should I just kill the process and reboot?
Thanks!
