Hi ERA: I hope you are well.
First let me say, that while I have used linux and developed software for many years, I am not an ubuntu expert. Second, unfortunately, this was only the beginning of the problems I encountered using the upgrade option in the update-manager. A few hours later the process failed miserably. The only choice the upgrade gave me was to revert back to 11.04 because the system need some cache limit increased. When I selected the revert option - again the only option the system provide me - the system spent a few hours processing, then miserably failed on the revert. I could not even login. Consequently, my only option was to re-install linux from ubuntu 11.04 cd. Then I used the upgrade option to upgrade 11.10 which was successful on a virgin 11.04. I kindly remind you that everyone is not a linux/ubuntu expert like you - to me at least, it seems at times that the linux gurus lose sight of that. I was doing my best to provide the with information, I saw on the screen and that I could access - which was not much. I provide you most of the text of the error message. I do not see how I could provide you the info from the text file when I could not access my system and had to start over with a clean install. Thank you for your time. Have a good day!
