Turned out to be dead simple.
$update-grub
found the newer kernels and set the latest one as the default.
Now all I have to do is remove the old ones.
Plenty on documentation on that subject.
Thanks for all the pointer.

Remember to make a backup of your VM!

I've hit a similar problem with sound recording during and after a Skype call in Ubuntu Lucid:
after a reboot, sound recording works (tested through arecord, record, audacity). When making a Skype call, for several first seconds sound is recorded ore or less fine (that's why when doing the Skype echo test it might seem that it works), but then most or all ...

Personally I think the best method is to write all zeros to the drive using dd.
Boot the live CD and
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M
Change /dev/sda to your hard drive.
The advantage of dd is that it overwrites your data as well as the MBR.
Your other option would be scrub
scrub -p dod /dev/sda

I'm sure there are several ways to completely wipe a hard disk. But, what you can do is download the GParted Live CD/USB from here. Burn it to a disc or make a bootable USB, then boot it up. In GParted, simply right click and delete all the partitions in the hard disk, and apply. If you can't right click and delete, first try to right click and unmount, and ...

Alt+MiddleButton is the right way to resize windows; it's right are your hands, and you don't have to move the pointer to the window edges first.
However, I still find that the scroll overlay often gets in my hair. So I went for a different approach and disabled the overlays all together! Scroll still works, of course, and the nice orange scroll indicator ...

No, support for Ubuntu 10.04 ends today (or ended yesterday), so if you install it you will not have any updates and may have to modify something to be able to install new software.
I would advise you to use 12.04, because it is an LTS release (so it should be more stable and longer supported than the oters), and because it has Unity 2D which does not ...

Dual Boot - Grub2 not detecting Ubuntu Server (10.4, 64 bit) after installing Ubuntu Desktop (12.04)

You could also consider changing to Lubuntu, which, although will require some adaptation on your part (it runs LXDE and not GNOME as desktop environment), you can customize with your preferred applications and keep up to date.

sudo initctl reload-configuration
# re-check
sudo initctl list | grep your_job_name
Then try again to start your job:
sudo start your_job_name

This has to do with 10.04 LTS becoming an EOL release on May 9th, since the recent release of 13.04. Since the packages and everything were moved (/will be? I'm not exactly sure when this happens) to an archive, away from the normal server your terminal is trying to contact, the normal methods of updating/installing don't work.
So the only real suggestion ...

No. Always have a backup of course, but it should upgrade without problems.
