I have been using Ubuntu since 9.04 without many (serious) problems.
I installed the 10.10 CD and put it on a flash drive after reading online that startup disk creator breaks with maverick. When I booted from flash, it would get completely stuck (no cursor, no blinking line at the top, just nothing!). So I went back to my Lucid install and ran update-manager -d
. When the upgrade was done, I rebooted and was faced with the same problem again.
I had to manually edit the grub.cfg
file to set the old Lucid kernel as default. I was faced with a new problem: VirtualBox couldn't find the kernel files because upgrading the kernel deleted some files that were required.
What I need to know is if there is a way to upgrade from Lucid to Maverick without the new kernel (I still don't understand why it broke, but oh well!)
