I have managed to upgrade to 12.04 from the command line, which I found online, using this command: sudo do-release-upgrade but I still have the Python problem I had before, which means I cannot run Ubuntu Software Centre or the Update Manager. David K -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https

Mea culpa. Yes, should have clarified. And the important thing in Neil's message is USER password not root, though a default Ubuntu setup won't have a root password set anyway. Sean -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam
