Binary package hint: update-manager

Attempt to upgrade Hardy Heron 8.04(2.6.24.21.43 through downloading
Ibis 8.10 (gdu)  failed at install stage.  Package update-manager
1:0.93.32.  Error Mesaage: "System Error in cache.commit(): ESub-process
/usr/bin/dpkg returned error code (1) "

I have been using Ubuntu Studio as my desktop.  During the downloading phase I received the following Error Message: "An error occured while loading or saving configiuartion for front end.  Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.  Details: Failed to contact configuration sever; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networks foe ORBIT, or you have  stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. 
Details: 1. failed to get connection to session.  Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-gbQoP7Zgba. Connection refused."

During the installation phase and prior to the package manager error
another error message informed me it couldn't do whatever it needed to
to with the Ubuntu Studio Menu.

I expected to download and install 8.10 with no trouble, as I had done
with 8,04.  I hoped that8.10 would then be able to recognise and  mount
my USB connected external backup drive, something Gutsy was able to do
but not Heron.

Last night I downloaded the package and this morning I left it to
install.  On checking at lunchtime I was horrified to find that my
previous configurations hed been removed before the installation gave up
the ghost.

Is there anything I can do to recover my previous set up and extremely
precious data?

Thanking you in anticipation but little hope.
