I'm running Ubuntu 10.1 and the updates stopped long ago.The upside is
the install functions perfectly.
I very much like the clean desktop as opposed to the new 12.04 and am
looking at this MATE overlay.
Annoying that Ubuntu updates so frequently,and I read something that the
Debian folks also give Shuttleworth grief for that. I was offered an
update to 11.x ages ago but can't get anything better than a crippled 3G
connect out here in the woods.Seems a complete backup up and rebuild is
all that is available. I get my ISOs from a friends DSL. Aloha LUAU people.

Ubuntu/HP? You mean an HP product with Ubuntu? Which Ubuntu version
number and desktop would that be?
I'm guessing that Synaptic, the GUI DEB package manager, disappeared.
If all else fails, aptitude is the best console / terminal-based
package manager I've seen. You can do _everything_ from that, with a
menu-driven interface that doesn't take a lot of time to get used to.
I really wish the RPM/YUM package family under Redhat / CentOS had
something as excellent as aptitude.
Good Luck,

Aloha,
Seeing the post from Jeff reminded me to ask this.
I have a net book with Ubuntu/HP on it. (All of the rest of my boxes
run FreeBSD) And the last time the updates ran part of the menu
vanished to an auto select feature.
Also I no longer have any flash that works for this unit either.
Tried to update but doesnt finish install.
Does any one have a suggestion to any link to a how to make things
install on the version of Ubuntu that is on the machine? Or do I have
to upgrade the version?
Mahalo...
