ok, I might be hosed now. When I went to shutdown my machine the shutdown dialog was using boxes instead of characters. Not being able to read the menu, I selected the two circling blue arrows thinking that was the reboot option. As expected the progams closed and the screen blanked. However I was immediately presented with the standard login screen so I'm thinking instead of rebooting the machine it just restarted the xserver. I logged in as usual. I see my standard deskop but there is no header or footer bar. Thankfully [alt-F2] still brings up the Run dialog so I am not totally without tools.
Entering "sudo reboot" or "sudo shutdown" in a terminal results in "command not found". Courtesy of this page http://douglasfshearer.com/blog/command-line- upgrade-to-ubunty-feisty-fawn-704 I realised that the difference I questioned earlier between update-manager and apt-get is because I should of have been using "apt-get dist-upgrade" instead of just upgrade. I'm now going to try that in hopes I've not totally hosed my system. -- distribution upgrade "A fatal error occured" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116476 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
