I upgraded a desktop last week using the update manager and the mirror
at my ISP (iprimus). It was a two step process, automatic upgrade
from LTS 8.04 to 8.10, then 8.10 to 9.04 no problems with any settings
etc.
This system had been out of action for a couple of months and my ISP
does not count
I agree, updating works wonderfully with Ubuntu. One of my notebooks has
been running Ubuntu since 6.x, has been upgraded with every release, and now
runs 9.04 fine.
I've got a 2gb USB thumb drive that I use for updating. I have the latest
stable image that I can boot from to test how things wor

I've been having an issue setting up ebay IM notification over the last few
days so I contacted ebay support to get some help with the issue. I told
them about the problems I was having, including the browser and the
operating system that I use . Their response - delete Firefox and use

I tend to agree with the suggestion to start afresh and go with a clean
install. When I updated my 8.10 to 9.04 due to the amount of stuff I
have on my desktop PC the upgrade was around 2Gb of downloaded data! as

Just make sure that you don't overwrite yo
Hi rob,
I think i would personally recommend a clean install. As you said, you have
your home directory on a separate partition, this makes it very convenient
to do a fresh upgrade.
Myself, I have my home directory also on a different partition, and a script
of install commands (apt-get install)
Not at all, I've done that numerous times when swapping distro's, you
don't even need to delete anything, just jump straight into the install
and let it reformat the partition (and make sure it's not formatting
the /home partition!).

Rob,
I believe that the official line is that you can't upgrade from Hardy ->
Jaunty but I have done it 7 times so far with no ill effects. Admittedly
all my installs have been Kubuntu & the only problem is the kde3 to 4
upgrade & deleting the .kde directory in the users home folder fixes
this.
Hi, everyone. I've been lurking for a little while and am hoping I'm not
being too forward in using my first post to ask for a little help!
I'm currently running 8.04 as a dual-boot with Windows XP on my home
machine. It's been a whi8le since I last seriously fiddled with my
Ubuntu installation an

Didn't the EULA change with Vista so the refund terms are up to the
