I upgraded, and now I have this error...

I thought I would share this tip.

When doing a fresh install all of your software will have to be reinstalled. First I save all of the hidden configuration files from my home directory. Then I create a bash file to reload my software after the fresh install.

apt-get -y install filezilla
apt-get -y install glabels
apt-get -y install dosbox
apt-get -y install stellarium
apt-get -y install gparted
apt-get -y install thunderbird
exit

Make an apt-get for all the software that you usually run.

Save as loadapps.sh

After a fresh install open a terminal and in the directory of your bash file, run:

sudo bash loadapps.sh

This will install all of your software. Takes some time if you have a long list.

After this finishes copy all your old hidden files for your software from your old home directory to your new home directory; .thunderbird, .filezilla, etc.

I hope this helps and is understandable ::::=§

I'd like to add my thanks for this great guide. I use only the LTS releases, and wait for at least the x.1 release of those to give bugs a chance to surface and die. With the EOL of 10.04 last month, I was quite concerned about upgrading this machine because of its unusual configuration and plethora of added utilities.

After going through all four pages, I decided to bite the bullet and try for an in-place upgrade; if it failed, I decided, I would be in no worse position for recovering than I would be if I tried just a clean install first. I backed up all dozen VirtualBox VMs, took careful note of my "udev" customizations and the three network cards, and hit the "Install" button.

I'm happy to report that the upgrade went quite smoothly! Despite my apprehension about having to reconfigure the network settings, iptables, and the resident daemons, the only problem I encountered was having to migrate the Xubuntu panels -- and even that was nicely automated, requiring only that I replace the icons on the various launchers.

Since the vast majority of posts in support forums deal with problems, I thought it might help balance things a bit to report when all went well. And had it not been for this great thread, I might not have gotten up the courage to try it!

Thanks for the kind words. Good to see that someone is reading the thread.

ESPERO SU RESPUESTA PARA SOLUCIÓN DE PROBLEMA:QUE REITERO:

al parecer, he agregado alguna fuente de paquetes (parece google earth) y ha
sido de manera incompleta.
Ruego informes para solucionar el problema, pues me impide actualizar Ubuntu

The text is revised and valid for 13.10 as well.

Original post has been changed to better suit 14.04.

Well, okay, here's an error: I can't watch YouTube anymore on 14.04 after upgrading from 13.10.....even though Flash seems to have been updated(It says "You need the latest Flash Player to watch this video). What's up with that?

I did receive a message after booting that the plugin had failed to install for some reason, but I managed to get it successfully installed before I tried YouTube.....so I dunno if that was it or not. Any help appreciated.
