The -d option tells update-manager to check for the next Development
Release. As you know, 11.10 is not in development anymore so you should
not have to invoke that option. I am going to inquire about this.
I am also going to close this report since we got it figured out. Thanks for
reporting
Apparently I needed to do that, because that did it. 11.10 is
installing right now.
Thanks a ton. What happened and what all did we do to fix it?

You shouldn't need to do this, but try:

Nope. In 10.10, unity 3d and 2d are the only available desktop
environments. Gnome classic is out. You will need to use a custom
sources.list entry to use the classic desktop.

That spat out a lot of options in the command line terminal. I didn't
change any of them and just closed the terminal after running the line
you gave me.
When I ran the Update Manager and hit "check", I thought we had it at
first. It showed a progress bar and said "loading software list", then

By the way, after 6 months of miserable stumbling around with Unity, I
finally realized that I can select "Ubuntu Classic" on startup and make
everything right again, haha.
I've been wanting 11.10 to see if it made Unity any more tolerable. If
I still don't like it, does the new version have the

gksu update-manager -c

You are a genius. Now we're getting somewhere. That seemed to fix it;
I installed all of the updates (there were a TON of them).
Now, however, the update manager doesn't offer me the update to Ocelot.
Am I missing something simple? I've checked for updates several times
and restarted the comput
