This should be an easy fix.<br>
<br>
This morning I tried to upgrade my Ubuntu 11.10 to the
Ubuntu 12.04 beta2-desktop-amd64, which did not work.<br>
<br>
I went into the Terminal and typed in this Line.....<br>
''sudo do-release-upgrade d;''<br>
<br>
I tried this several times, both using and not using the
"-" between words like it is Printed in the PDF I
downloaded from the Ubuntu Web Site last evening. I also
tried it with and with out the "; " at the end of the
Line.<br>
<br>
The only result I got was a Line that said "no upgrades
found''. I know the File has been released, because I
downloaded a copy of it last evening also. I do prefer to
use the Automatic Upgrade, because it has worked so well
on Ubuntu before, and saves so much time re-installing and
configuring Software.<br>
<br>
I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04 L.T.S as my Main
Software, but I have the 11.10 version installed also, the
last two weeks. <br>
<br>
The 11.10 appears to be working great, but I always test
New OS Systems about a Month before I really switch to
them on a permanent basis.<br>
<br>
One comment I would like to make is about the 'new'
Desktop Programs, both Gnome3, and Unity. I do not really
like either of them, because they remove the 'Panels' that
an individual can add Icons to for Quick Starting Software
Programs. I am using the Unity on my Ubuntu 11.10 because
is it the 'lesser of the two evils'. I normally keep 18
separate Icons, plus the Drop Down Menu Box, and the
standard Calender, Network Icon Volume Control, and Shut
Down Menu in the top Panel on Ubuntu 10.04. That can't be
done in the Unity Interface. The ''Dashboard'' is a time
waster in finding the Programs I want to run.<br>
<br>
Other then the Menu system, the Ubuntu 11.10 appears to be
a great operating System. This 10.04 I have been running
has been the best I have ever owned in 28 Years I have
been using Computers.<br>
<br>
Thank You <br>
