Hello,<br>Having had dial up and experienced data loss usually when the download is almost complete.<br>I would say it is most likely <span style="text-decoration: underline;">"line noise"</span> corrupting your download.(static on phone line that you cannot hear)<br>Data is lost here and there during the download when too much is lost your data is corrupted.<br>I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 with no problem, however I am using hi speed wireless from a tower. <br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The updating problem is beyond my present understanding perhaps someone else can help you with that issue.</span><br>I hope this has helped.<br>Chris.<br><br><br>> Subject: Upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04?<br>> From: alfred.s@nexicom.net<br>> To: ubuntu-ca@lists.ubuntu.com<br>> Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 10:26:44 -0400<br>> <br>> <br>> Hi:<br>> <br>> I've never done this before, that is upgrade Ubuntu over top of the<br>> previous version. I bought the 6 DVD set, from www.thelinuxstore.ca due<br>> to not having high speed. I Put the install disk in the drive to see<br>> what was on it, if there were some docs to read, on how to do this.<br>> <br>> A Dialogue Box came up and said "Would you like to upgrade, and have<br>> all the Email etc transferred to the new version". After upgrading with<br>> all 190 upgrades for Ubuntu 7.10 on Dial up, I figured lets give the 8.04 Upgrade<br>> a try. Well it said it was testing the Repositories, and then it<br>> crashed. Trouble is when it tried this again, it had read the index<br>> files on the first DVD, and I used Synaptic to load the data and DVD<br>> names to use the DVD's as Repositories. When I tried to do the update<br>> the Auto upgrade could not be found, and now there were 577 Updates in<br>> Update, but very few of them were checked, and an error message said<br>> that this could happen if the previous attempt was incomplete. Is there<br>> some way to restore Updater to no updates, in other words get rid of<br>> the 577 updates listed in it, so that I might be able to try this<br>> again, that is do the upgrade of 7.10 to 8.04, over top of 7.10? Is<br>> there some flaw in this Upgrade Software? Why does it crash? <br>> <br>> Alfred!<br>> <br>> <br>> -- <br>> ubuntu-ca mailing list<br>> ubuntu-ca@lists.ubuntu.com<br>> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca<br><br /><hr /> <a href='' target='_new'></a></body>
