[xubuntu-users] 14.04 Upgrade problems

[George DiceGeorge]

I think you can back up your files
if you boot from a CD
such as xubuntu14.04LTS
(or almost any old Linux disk)
and then use the graphical filemanager to copy them to CD, DVD, USB stick, external USB drive, etc

I have an Nvidia optimus 610m video adapter.  Normally I would have no issue with a clean install, however I need to get my files backed up and don't know how to copy them from the command line to either a usb or CD.

I did not disable ppas.

Thanks again your feedback.

  Hello.

  I believe, you can better make a completely newinstallation of Xubuntu 14.04 LTS. Then i believe you will not have any problems with Xubuntu 14.04.
  Good luck.
  Gérard.

      I'm a new Xubuntu user (a few months).  I know a small amount of scripting but am in no way an expert.  I've been running 13.10 without issue for awhile now and decided to upgrade to 14.04 using the in-system updater.

      The upgrade seemed to go uneventfully until the reboot. The system rebooted, I got the splash screen then everything went black.  However I was able to use cntrl+ apt +F1 to log in to the command line.  Yet everything that requires a GUI fails.

      Any ideas?


       


    to fully upgrade to a new version, it is highly recommended zero. 

    Do you disable the PPA's before to upgrade?
    have you dedicated graphic card ?


    regards!
