Peter Using the instructions found here: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-22-04/ I did the upgrade. All went fairly smoothly, but it did require two reboots to get a couple of things straight. After the first 'end-of-install' one the mouse didn't work at bringing anything up. It did keep on getting Pasystray notices as it jumped from analog to digital until I shut them off (I think they are still happening in the background) The sound does work, but not smoothly. We will see if the mic works this evening. Otherwise quite pleased.

If you look at my comments against the bug reports you will see that I resorted to a clean installation of 22.04 and the bug was present there too (I retained my /home partition). It seems that once the erroneous data has been written to the config file it's there forever. If you have a good backup of your /home directory/partition and can do a clean install of 23.04 you should be fine. If you install the Synaptic Package Manager you can get it to generate a Package Download script to re-install all of the packages that you currently have. Thanks, good advice. I did wonder about a clean install. My current system has been mucked about with a lot since the last one. I'll wait, and do another backup.
