So i decided to take the plunge and upgrade my home PC from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04. Everything went fine, until it actually installed the files. Immediately, I had no connection to my network (or the internet). Everything showed up like it was supposed to, as far as drivers, hardware, etc.
I did everything I could find to do, including new terminal commands from suggestions in the ubuntu forums. nothing worked. UGG. THANKFULLY, the last time this happened, I put my /home on a seperate partition - so I can install / reinstall without losing any of my data - the problem is I lost all of my apps - alot of which I had compiled, and/or fiddled with to get working. This sucks. Stuff like this is why Linux has such a hard time going mainstream - I mean I’m a true geek, and it gave me trouble - …
I love Ubuntu and Linux for that matter, but sometimes it gets me just as frustrated as Windows did.
