upgrade
Please help me with this!
I first tried to upgrade my Ubuntu server from 11.10 to 12.04 thru Upgrade Manager, but never succeeded! Then I tried upgrading thru terminal, which took me ~4 hours as I was warned. When I restarted my computer, my login GUI did not show up at all! (Panic I was!) But when I switched to tty6 and it seemed the upgrade has finished, at least partially and got message Ubuntu 12.04LTS and telling me 12.10 is available. There are bunch of unmet dependencies...."apt-get install -f" may resolve the problem.
Then I tried: sudo apt-get -f install
, did not succeed!
Also I tried
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
I got bunch of error message too long to list here.
Then I tried:
sudo do-release-upgrade
still bunch of error message there!
There seems a lot trouble with the upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 for me. Did I miss anything? Anyway, can I ask how I can get the gnome login GUI back? Thanks a lot!
