xubuntu 6.06 to xubuntu 6.10 what happend!

[Vincent]

I take it you mean apt-get dist-upgrade, as you multiple times said
disk-upgrade (k instead of t).

Also, as for the website:

   - *NOTICE:* There have been some issues with
upgrading<https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/68027>to
Xubuntu
   6.10 from Xubuntu 6.06.
   Please review available documentation below before attempting an
   upgrade.

And

Click here for instructions.<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades#head-11721ced054eda7fabc2bb5bce3bbd447d170dac>
*At the moment, it is not recommend to use this method, as there seem to be
problems<https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/68027>with
it.
*

*The method of apt-get
dist-upgrade<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades#head-0ee455b2d02f220b043c084f09dffb86c1c6bd79>is
still safe for those who are familiar with it, the issue is only with
the
update-manager. Please note that you do not need ubuntu-desktop, but
xubuntu-desktop.*
That does not look like saying it is safe to upgrade to me.
