ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I am cursing this new version of Ubuntu - I do not think it was really ready for prime time. It started by breaking dependancies like crazy (on the version I was running) until it totally screwed my system and I could not even boot into a terminal session to try to fix things.
I had current backups on (most) of my critical stuff so I said the heck with it and installed Breezy from scratch via cd, wiping the drive. Install ran just fine, all the appropriate things are there. Then I attempted to install Skype, which won't, install that is. A fix is promised. I can live without that, but I need VMWare. When I tried to install that - all sorts of things were not on my system. Attempted to fix that, then it said the version of gcc used to build my kernel doesn't match any version of gcc on my system. It advises me to recompile the kernel. OK folks. I have actually managed to use linux for 5 years without ever having to re-compile the kernel. I have looked on the web and the info I've found makes a LOT of assumptions - Does anyone have a usable tutorial on re-compiling the kernel (safely - as in saving the old one in case the new blows too.)? Or should I just junk the whole thing and re-install the old version of Ubuntu?
