***UPDATE*** Yesterday morning I decided to re-install Lubuntu. I spent a good time prepping/reformatting an HDD to backup all the files I wanted to save.
I burned the Lubuntu 13.10 ISO in preparation to perform a fresh install seeing as how the upgrade from .04 to .10 had plagued me with many bugs. I rebooted, reformatted and partitioned the HDD and successfully installed Lubuntu 13.10. As of now, 13.10 has been running with no issues. I did have the issue with Xfce4 power manager not running the first time, but that has since resolved itself. I would also like to announce that network services resumes after I close and open the laptop. In power manager, I set my settings to "Do Nothing' when the lid is closed. The network icon does indicate no connection for a few seconds, but then restarts/resumes or establishes the saved WiFi connection. This has resolved many issues that I have had and may work for others as well. Could I ask if anyone else having issues with the upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 without a fresh install attempt a fresh install and also report if this solves the issue?
