Re: [Skunkworks] Ubuntu: Clean Install or In-built upgrade
Hmm am doing it via update manager but for some reason its crawling.
From karmic to lynx hoping to see an improvement in the USB write speeds. Dont have to always disable nautilus when doing 3 Gb and above or mount it in asynch mode.
Overall Lynx looks good so far esp on the subtle UI improvements. -tyrus
I highly suggest clean and fresh installations. I tried an upgrade and it did my system in. Operating systems do actually differ depending on individual installations and may not go according to the documentations given on upgrade. If you love ur OS, give it a fresh installation. Otherwise. Lets spread the Ubuntu Spirit to all. regards Wachira wa Mwangi

I hit the update button yesterday afternoon and and around 6 hours later I was in business with Lucid. It would have taken a shorter time but a couple of times it stopped to ask me for my permission to do something and I was away! Everything seems to have gone smoothly, except for one thing. External Hard Drives and USB sticks are not accessible. When I plug them in I get "usb0"showing up in the list but I can not delete from or add anything to the drive. I can not even unmount them and keep getting a "umount: /media/usb0 is not in the fstab (and you are not root)"
From Google I can see this is a recurring problem so I am not sure it is linked to the upgrade rather than clean install.
