When I try to upgrade my 10.04 system to 11.10 with my live usb it jumps straight to the desktop and when I click on the "install 11.10" icon nothing happens. I've used the usb on other systems before so I'm guessing it's ok.

Hmm, well when your booting from the usb stick, at the purple screen press the Left arrow key and it will bring you to a menu that you can just install and other options, instead of boot the desktop...

However, why don't you try upgrading from the Update Manager?

  • I found that screen but when I clicked on "Install Ubuntu" it took me back to the desktop again. As far as the Update Manager goes I'm in an area with low connectivity so I gotta pay for every mb downloaded (major league sucks).

KEEP IT SIMPLE

Create yourself an 'Alternate install CD (on USB) instead ..

http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download (location near you)

Then your PC wont have the option to boot to desktop, until you have finished install.

  • I was hoping to avoid that because of the low connectivity issues in my area.

  • Although, you can create USB stick anywhere.
