Public bug reported:
Hi,
I'm not entirely sure of where I should post this. Please redirect this if I
did wrong ☺
As I was encountering a lot of problem with Precise, I thought it would be a
good idea to send bug reports from Quantal rather than from Precise. I thus
decided to upgrade to Quantal. I've got some minor problems, which I will
explain in details after this first description of what did happened after the
upgrading.
“do-release-upgrade” seemed to have work well as it suggested me to restart my
computer, with no obvious error shown. So I did as it suggested me to do.
Once I restarted, I only got a message from Grub stating this:
error: file not found.
grub rescue>
Without any additional information (by the way, stating *which* file has not
been found would be a non-neglectable improvement of Grub ☺), I tried some
things, such as “help“, “reboot” or other classical command. “ls” returns me a
list of partitions, but I do not know what to do with those… I'm searching on
my live-CD ☺
I do not know what happened, but I hope such error won't happen the day of the
official release!
By the way, my live-CD seems to work well: if you want me to upload any
useful file, just ask!
Some problem I encountered meanwhile that maybe could help (or that should be
reported to another software):
→ “upgrade-manager -d” refused to upgrade to Quantal because of “unknown
error”. It suggest to send bug report, so I did.
→ Maybe this is linked with the last one, but I encountered some problem of
space in my “/” partition. I thus removed some of my space-consuming software
to be able to upgrade with “do-release-upgrade”
→ I got a lot of problem with Gnome-shell these last months. Those problems
seemed to be caused by contradictory old configuration files (my system fonts
keeps changing, my mouse design too, and so did my keyboard mapping. Each time
such a “change” happened, the system froze for one or two seconds), maybe this
is linked with this problem of upgrade… Anyway, a program that is not able to
choose between two configuration file, should choose one (at random if needed)
for the entire session and do not change its mind.
I'm working on fixing my computer on this little live-CD, but if
meanwhile you need any further information, just ask: it would be a
shame that such a bug appears at the final release!
Best,
Martin.
