New question #50315 on Ubuntu Eee: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/50315
I have tried to upgrade my asus 901 to intrepid ubuntu distribution. To do it, first of all, I've checked "normal distributions" in Software sources. Next, I've run the update manager and I've tried to update. After a few steps, the upgrade manager said me that it doesn't update because it can't install the ubuntu-desktop meta package. The /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log is the following: ... 2008-11-05 09:09:49,644 DEBUG examining: 'deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted' 2008-11-05 09:09:49,645 DEBUG entry

The following actions will solve these dependencies Remove the following packages: ubuntu-eee The score is 119 (I've translated from spanish. Sorry for the bad english) My questions are: 1) Can I upgrade to ubuntu 8.10 with an asus 901? 2) Is it save to continue with the previous actions? 3) How can I solve the problem?
