Something like that. I'm installing 8.04 on it, but it still won't load KDE... I hope it's a leftover in my profile from the brief and lamented experience with KDE4, and I can clear it out and get back in.
My own intrepid upgrade wen't horribly bad today. This is my work pc, started ~2pm ... I think I've just finished (11pm) repairing the damage done. For some inexplicable reason it uninstalled 1000 packages, many of which had been upgraded during the upgrade process!! wtf?! It even uninstalled xorg (that explains the blank screen I saw after reboot ... thankfully sshd remained, so I could investigate from home).
Yey for logs! I've since re-fetched everything from the logs, but that was a painful manual process as some packages no longer exist and have been replaced. Also some packages now seem to conflict with each other. Hmmmf.
Not only all this pain, but it over-wrote my motd!! How RRRUUUDDEE!!!
At least this was on my work pc. Thank goodness I always use it first as the guineapig. I'd be furious if this was my home server pc. Now in the morning I'll find out if it has been resurrected ... 'fun' with xorg may be required.
Something to watch out for ... the upgrade process takes away any local software repositories and only enables official Ubuntu au ones. Yuck. What horror this will be on my monthly quota at home ... why can't I use the free-traffic-mirrors that are local to me, Ubuntu? You bastards!
