On Ubuntu 13.04, the following may help when you have a black screen and a mouse pointer or some other indication/knowledge that you are running the lightdm desktop manager that ships with Unity.
Open up TTY1 by typing Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or F2 for TTY2, etc).
Log in, then enter:

I have a directory called /soft where I have several softwares that I have installed manually. If I make the upgrade on the operating system is there a way to mantain that directory, or ubuntu will just delete it all?
I have no idea. However, I like to believe that it will not delete it. The upgrade process upgrades packages and libs and all that, but not ...

If you do an upgrade, there are chances (am not sure) that the /soft folder is retained. But in case you install it from scratch, Ubuntu will overwrite on it. Either ways, a backup is suggested.
Though logically you can upgrade from your version to 13.04, I would suggest a clean and fresh install. There are certain performance benefits some people have ...

You can surely upgrade via the terminal. It will keep all the things in /home directory intact. But it is always advisable to take backups. I don't have any any idea whether the /soft directory will be there after upgrade but you can always take a backup of it.

stty erase '^?'

There is a feature called Spread which will bring this to Unity, but it is unlikely that it will be landed in the Compiz version, seeing as Unity is returning to being a Qt application.
It will probably come in Ubuntu 14.04 (approximately), as part of Unity Next.

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 ...

You should try 'bootchart' to see the time period.
I have the same matter.

if you have the capacity then enabling on your BIOS should be really easy, just boot up into BIOS and look for "Virtualization" it should be under "Security". Then just enable. :)

If your video card is Agp, then the solution is to install the current Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia site and add the Option "NvAgp" "1" to section "Device" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
This forces the Nvidia driver to use Nvidia's built in Agp handling rather than Agpgart which nouveau is probably using.
Details
Download Nvidia's latest driver for your card.

I had a similar "no start" problem when I have realized that my script depended on a file that was in my home, and the home was not accessible because was crypted with the standard ubuntu mechanism ( .Private).
start on local-filesystems event is (probably) emitted before the decryption process is ended.

One possible reason is that the release available stamp file hangs around incorrectly. The following fixes this issue:
sudo rm /var/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-available
This file is safe to remove as it will be regenerated next time the motd script runs if appropriate.
Reason: this issue came up for me in 13.04 after a partially ...

My Y550 Ideapad was reconditioned about 3 years ago, and strangely had an
electrical fire in the laptop's hinge as I opened it to turn it on. It was
plunged into it's A/C charger as I had just used it the day before this
happened Saturday 04/13/2013. I think if the guy's laptop powered on and
didn't smell like burnt metal, you already answered his problem. ...

Thanks for all the suggestions here; if it wasn't mention, gcolor2 can also sample color from all over the desktop.
But I got curious about gpick, and tried to install a newer version on Natty. So I got:
