Upgrade Failure

[mpierce]

I was running the Hardy and using adept followed the instruction for an upgrade to Hardy.
The upgrade completed a fair way through and then aborted with warning that I have an unstable system.

I've not turned my system fearing that it will not reboot.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Re: Upgrade Failure

You were running Hardy, and want to upgrade to Hardy?

Sorry, I don't follow your logic. Or were you just trying to UPDATE some Hardy packages?

Re: Upgrade Failure

Sorry, I was running the version prior to Hardy and was advised by adept that a new version was available which is Hardy.

Re: Upgrade Failure

Were you instructions similar/like/exactly like this:

Upgrading Gutsy to Hardy
If you are using an older version of Kubuntu, you should consider upgrading to Hardy.
You can only directly upgrade to Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) from Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon).
Here are instructions on upgrading from Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 to Hardy Heron 8.04:
1. Open the Adept Manager by going to KMenu -> System -> Adept Manager (Manage Packages)
2. In Adept, go to Adept -> Manage Repositories
3. Enable the "Recommended updates" and "Pre-released updates" repository, close and reload
4. If your system is up to date, the upgrade wizard will be offered after you click "Fetch Updates" via the "Version Upgrade" button, else..
1. Press the Full Upgrade button
2. Press the Apply Changes button
3. Once the packages are installed, exit the Adept Manager (Adept -> Quit)
4. Repeat the initial steps (1 - 3)
