I’m writing from the PC, not the laptop.
This one – the PC – runs Debian and it’s quite steady. But I don’t use it very often.
I like the laptop which is in upgrade of the Ubuntu, from 7.10 to 8.04.
I tried to do all “regular” upgrade instructions for the laptop, including this (Network upgrade):
meorero@myubuntu:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade Checking for a new ubuntu release 0% [Working ...
But it ends with the following error:
Could not calculate the upgrade A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport.

So… Now I’m downloading the ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso CD from the mirror of isoc.org.il.
