The upgrade botched on mine, and after creating a new user account I realised that the issue was with my settings, not the OS installation. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get drive icons back on the desktop, and find a replacement for the sensor-applet that I used to use to monitor disk/CPU temperatures. The fallback GNOME isn't too bad, overall. Takes some getting used to. Sandy On 23/10/11 12:29, Glenn Ramsey wrote:
I did some pruning, removed a few old kernel images and some games that no-one plays and the upgrade succeeded. So far I haven't noticed any problems, except that the desktop is now different. I assume it's unity, which I also assume is a feature not a bug :-). This probably won't be a problem, the other users of this machine (wife and daughter) have not complained yet, but I was surprised by the change because in the previous release unity had not worked at all so I had set it to use the gnome desktop. I didn't expect the upgrade to override that setting.
