No joy on my attempt to upgrade from a fully-updated 12.04 to
14.04 using 'update-manager -d -c'.<br>
<br>
It offered Trusty to upgrade to, told me about the requirements
(in terms of disk space), and estimated the time of download to be
6 minutes at my connection speed.<br>
<br>
After downloading the packages it got stuck on installation,
"configuring apt." I let it go for hours just to see if it would
unlock itself and get going, but it was just frozen solid. Hard
reboot failed. Reinstalled and updated 12.04 with no trouble.<br>
<br>
I wish I could brag about upgrading to Trusty! I've never even
attempted an upgrade before, always preferring a fresh install.
But hopefully something can be learned from my attempt at least.<br>

Thanks for going through that :)<br>

I'd like more to see the result on the tracker ... I saw a thread on
the forum, assume that's you - you really don't have to do all the
wiki hardware stuff - as long as you've got an SSO account then you
can report to the tracker.<br>
