In fact after the upgrade that didn't finished well. Computer was frozen on installation but didn't progresss anymor so I had to reboot it. Then it refused but using the repair session and repairing file system I could get 11.10 working. I removed today virtual box and tried to get all what was missing but it didn't downloaded anything neither repaired any missing package I assume I shold be ok by now and I reinstalled virtualbox...... In fact ther it complains for old package.
I am suspecting that ubuntu doesn't support very well installation over isntallation (I mean starting form an old vesion and upgrading to a newer). It would be really better to reinstall instead of upgrading but up to now I'd like this to happen without having to reinstallat all additionla software / and tweeking i've been doing on my ubuntu version. I saw this is to become possible but I am awaiting feed back (i've already had in the past to reinstall and reconfigure everything and always you forgot one thing) Again thks for your help Regards Marc -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876764 Title: package ubuntu-desktop 1.245 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/876764/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
