Thanks for all who tried to cheer me up a little.<br>
In return to the list some serious info here probably only useful to
Ubuntu users.<br>
<br>
If you are on Ubuntu 11.04 and you are tempted to download
something, hold your breath a few seconds and make sure you update
and NOT upgrade.<br>
<br>
If you do upgrade to 11.10 the following may happen:<br>
- your system does not start anymore<br>
- your restored backup does not start anymore eyther.<br>
So please follow philips´s advice and make a clean install and do
only so after a real backup of your system. fsarchiver is your
friend.<br>
<br>
Now you will find the new system probably not as much fun as you
hoped for.<br>
You may succeed to get rid of unity and overlay scrollbar, but gnome
environment is not what it used to be. IMHO the great OS ubuntu has
evolved within 6 months to a useless peace of crab.<br>
So, after all you might want to restore your backup of 11.04 which
maybe no longer starts due to grub problems caused by 11.10.<br>
I figured out how to solve that, so you may ask if it happens to you
too.<br>
<br>
If you just backed up your settings and personal stuff, you should
be aware that a symple rsync does not takes hidden files in acount.
The things you wanted most take care off are lost.<br>
<br>
to name a few:<br>
.bash_history<br>
.thunderbird<br>
.mozilla<br>
.kde/share/config/digikamrc<br>
<br>
<br>
Two symple mouse clicks in a split second caused 24 hours of stress.
And more to come, I just succeeded to get a backup from august 25
running again on one of my pc´s. Ubuntu has matched up with windows
in causing trouble, that makes me realy sad. I realy hope that
softwaremakers will grow up a little, playtime is over, you don´t
have to show off what you are capable of any longer, don´t be so
obsessed with so called cool stuff, you have the power to make pc´s
to great fascillitating tools, to make our lifes better instead of
worse.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Rinus<br>

<p>Hi All,<br>
Just returned from a trip and decided to start with updating my
pc's from ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10.<br>
As usual this action destroid my entire system. Now I have 2
pc's presenting me a black screen. It was to expect of course,
at has never been different, but I did not bother to much
because I have backups. But this time restoring the backup
results in a statement about wrong license: grub rescue></p>
<p>I have realy no idea how to go on. Google did not come up with
a great answer.</p>
<p>Any ideas around here?</p>
<p>Are a great idea for a rockstable different linux distro, not
messing up my computers twice a year?</p>
<p>TIA as always,<br>
<u>Rinus</u><br>
