    Can't upgrade to 8.10

    I have two comps running the 64 bit version of 8.04 & neither of them will upgrade to 8.10.
    I've followed the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...grades/Kubuntu but it only gets as far as step 5. When I click the finish button, the dialog box disappears but adept remains open & nothing else happens.
    Any help gratefully appreciated

    I tried both methods to up-grade from Gutsy to Hardy (internet and alternate), and ended downloading and burning an .iso.

    YMMV

      If the common factor in both computers is one Alternate disk I would first check that you have a good burn of the iso to the CD.

        I was doing the internet upgrade. I've heard mention of this "alternate" cd but have searched everywhere and can't find where to download it from

          Firstly - on the link you provide- the internet upgrade has only two steps, so how can you be stuck on step 5?

          Secondly - on the link you provide- the Alternate CD install has eleven steps, so you could be stuck on step 5, but you don't have the Alternate disk...

          Get the Alternate disk here: http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download

          Remember to put a check the box!

            Oh crap . Just realised I forgot to put the kdesudo in front. Seems to be working ok now. Thanks
            The steps for the internet upgrade & alternate cd upgrade seem the same except for the first step. At least on my comps

            EDIT:Sorry my mistake, it was early morning when I posted and was still a bit groggy. I think when I did the internet upgrade correctly, it skipped a few steps that were in the cd upgrade.

              I think the point of the Alternate CD install is that you download once and can install that on many machines. The internet install has to be done on each machine.
