I just upgraded to 14.04 yesterday & I waited a while after it came out because last time I upgraded to 12. the upgrade hosed me so fricking bad I had to wipe my drive and start again.
I did a test by upgrading my laptop first & that went fine, so feeling a little more confident in ubuntu this time I did my main pc...and I am so pissed I trusted ubuntu again I cant tell you... Im hosed.. I might as well be using windows for as much of a time suck failure ubuntu has become... when it works it works great... but this is the second time I have been SCREWED doing an upgrade..... NEVER AGAIN!!! I had to hire a guy to come over and try fix it after EVERYTHING mentioned here FAILED.... he teaches linux at a local uni and he couldnt figure it out or fix it... The only he could get a full boot was to install xubuntu.... I started using ubuntu & gnome desktop because it was so well supported, and now Im forced to either start again from scratch or deal with using a desktop that Im so unfamiliar with its like wading through mud to get anything done. I see this has been listed as a high importance bug since FEB. yet its isnt even assigned..... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283826 Title: lightdm hangs after updates Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager: New Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've updated today my Trusy Thar installation.
