I tried to update Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04LTS. I have several issues and had to go back to Ubuntu 9.10. First issue is the mouse has a drag time even when I click to speed it up. Second issue is sometimes the keyboard will freeze up and the last letter I type will repeat for about 20 times as if the key gets stuck then the whole system freezes up and I have to reboot. The third issue is I have DSL and the 10.04 doesn't seem to want me on the internet--In firefox I get server not found and finding software app just sits idle like it is searching for the internet. Please help. I love the 9.10. I have an E-machine t5212 and 320 gb (replaced the original 200gb after a virus shut down windows xp hard drive). The video card is Radeon Xpress 200. Intel Pentium D processor and 1024mb DDR2. I am new to Ubuntu but I have used it for about a year and love it.

5I think all of the issues in one questions is not ideal here. Would it be possible to separate the issues into distinct questions?– txwikingerAug 6, 2010 at 18:30

So 9.10 works for you though? Also, did you try doing a full install of 10.04 instead of an upgrade? Upgrading tends to cause issues..– zkriesseAug 6, 2010 at 19:07

Could it be a driver issue? As in a driver that works in 9.10 but has a bug in 10.04.– ssanjAug 7, 2010 at 2:33

I always do a clean install... always!
I have a few things for you though before clicking "close" or "back"
There may be a conflicting package on your system or something causing bloat, get rid of them by typing:
sudo apt-get autoremove
Which will get rid of libs and packages which are not needed/conflicting/causing bloat.
What about a test-drive with the Live-CD (without an installation) to check if the hardware is recognized and evey thing work well? How did you change back to ubuntu 9.10 - i am just interested.
