Hello all,
I was running ubuntu hardy LTS server. I followed the steps here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading and did a network upgrade for ubuntu servers.
After the upgrade finished it had removed KDE 3.5 and lots of other things. A total of 935 packages were removed. So after the upgrade finished I restarted the computer and tried installing KDE, which installed fine. And after reboot when I tried logging in the KDE loading box(not sure what it is called, just moved to linux) stops at the 4 icon and nothing happens. I can't even get to the CLI by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1 thru F6.
So, I restarted the computer and with out logging in thru the splash screen I switched to CLI where I tried executing commands like updatedb, locate and got a reply stating that the command was not found.
I am not sure as of now what all trouble is there with the current intrepid upgrade. Is there a way to check the upgrade logs and try to fix it? Or would I have to do a clean install. I'am in the process of downloading the ubuntu intrepid.
But I would like to fix this without going thru the clean install as I think I would get to learn a lot from this. Help appreciated.
Thanks :)
