My thanks to those who *respectfully* suggested that the error was mine, and my middle finger for those who did so rudely. :-P I followed the upgrade instructions on the ubuntu site, and the results sucked. For those of you with better luck, I congratulate you. However, I think the problem here is that *luck* seems to be the most significant factor at work. I know I should do a clean install, but I still tend to resist the idea of reinstalling every app I regularly use, each time the distro is upgraded. s <div>On 6/9/06, Michael Satterwhite <<a href="mailto:michael@weblore.com">michael@weblore.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Rick Chagouri-Brindle wrote: > I would respectfully suggest that perhaps some part of the upgrade was > not performed correctly as I have been using Dapper as my main > production machine - upgraded from Breezy - without any issues. While I'm happy that your upgrade worked fine, that's not the case with everyone. I'm not the person that wrote the message you're replying to, but after upgrading to Dapper today (1) Printing is down (2) Sound is down (3) the USB devices no longer hotplug (which, of course causes #1) As to the assumption of incorrect upgrade, here's the instructions from the wiki (1) Change all references of Breezy to Dapper (2) Do a sudo apt-get update (3) Do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade That doesn't leave much room for error. I've posted the problems I've had since then to the list, but it doesn't appear (at this point) that anyone knows how to address them. If I don't get any answers soon, I'll get my Breezy CD and do an initial install / fallback and write Dapper off as a lost cause. I always like to check a system early so I can advise my clients. In this case, when asked, I'm going to tell them to avoid Dapper like the plague. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - <a href="http://enigmail.mozdev.org">http://enigmail.mozdev.org</a> iD8DBQFEigdUjeziQOokQnARAqFDAJ0S1mm1uK2/9FBUSLkh8yEmzIz5xgCfTLAm 54vnx6i4YoExOa0zthZ8L/s= =ZPmK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users </a> </blockquote></div>
