Having become complacent and not having done an immediately preceding backup I panicked and may have altered some basic settuings So to try a clean start I obtained the 12.04 and 12.10 discs. I have trialled various combinations and have found the only successful system is to erase the HD and reinstall 12.10 with no updates.
As we are now on 13.04 with a couple of updates, and as 13.04 seems slightly slicker and more stable already than was 12.10, I'm surprised you have not yet tried the current distro! Generally - because of their history of use - a distribution upgrade often seems to give problems that a fresh install of the new distro is often better, quicker and simpler! Others may disagree, but personally, I work on two hard-drives, one with the current distro and one with the next (testing) version. During the next few days, I will install 13.10 Saucy Salamander from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and start using it as dual boot with Raring Ringtail as the second option.
