ok have been doing some more hunting and others seem to have video driver issues fixed with sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-* and while i am not using that xorg driver (i checked) so it shouldn't be an issue (using propreitory fglrx-updates amd graphics acceloraters) l i did find lots of broken stuff with those names and removed them and am going to try this again...once more into the breach =P
did it and then tried upgrade again and it did go farther than before before it got cranky. looked like it was going to abort the upgrade again, actually got a msg it was but then it continued on with the regular error msg that i tried to write down. it had to do with debconf, something like unable to initialize front end, dialogue front end requires screen at least 13 lines tall and 31 columns wide. that makes no sense to me for my screen is pretty big. any way it kept saying something like revert to front end at the end and then just kept going. things look like they are working but i have no idea why this upgrade was so problematic. i have never had a problem like this before. if it helps AMD C-50 Processor × 2 since it looked like there were some broken drivers. it is good to note that i only got my video drivers, when i was trying to get a better one for video, from the unbuntu software updater. thanks for all your hard work on all the various upgrades over the years. i think it's ok now but if you need to contact me if it helps with bug fixing things then feel free. warm wishes ser -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335003 Title: it won't let me upgrade saying it's 3rd party software even though it says it disabled them.
