Kubuntu 12.10 upgrade

[Mark Fraser]

I've now completed 2 upgrades to 12.10 and here are some problems I've 
encountered:

1) Rebooting after the upgrade I get the error "the disk drive for /tmp is not 
ready yet" press S to skip or M to manage. After a 2nd reboot this error 
disappeared.

2) Can't change the system language. See 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12308689.

3) One of the systems I've upgraded is a netbook which I'd removed k3b from as 
it doesn't have an optical drive. Upgrading to 12.10 installs k3b again, if I 
try to remove it I'm told it wants to remove some language packs.

4) The other is a laptop which is 64 bit and I noticed that a lot of the 
packages it was upgrading were duplicated for i386 and AMD64.
