Upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04 {My Review}

1:23 PM | with 0 comments »

This was the first time I did an upgrade from one version to another version of Ubuntu instead of doing a clean install. I did this so that I don't have to reinstall all the necessary softwares which I normally do after the clean install also I was having no intention to try the new Ext4 filesystem which Ubuntu 9.04 was having as an option since I heard it is not entirely stable and still have some bugs.

So I got the notification from the Update Manager about the availability of an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04. Here is the Screenshot.


So I click on the upgrade button to do the upgrade and the upgrading process begins.


For some odd reason the downloading of the files from the Internet was very slow maybe because many users were upgrading at the same time. Anyways it took me nearly 12 hours to do the complete upgrade but I was patient since I started the upgrade process at night  around 8 o'clock and after a couple of hours I went to sleep and in the morning at 8 o'clock the process was almost complete. After the process I restarted the PC as I was instructed and as soon as I restarted the PC I got this error.


But this error was not getting in my way and I was able to explore and operate the new Ubuntu 9.04 without any problem at all. After doing a search for a while on google I found the way to eliminate this error. I run this command on the Terminal 

sudo aptitude reinstall xkb-data

And the error was gone.

Conclusion : The Upgrade was a great sucess on my PC and its been a couple of days now since I did the Upgrade and every thing is working as smooth as ever without any problems whatsoever.
