Last week, Ubuntu 11.04 “Natty Narwhal” was released. Being a fearless cutting-edge Kubuntu kind of guy, I opted for an upgrade at the earliest possible. So later that Thursday night I set the distribution upgrade going in my rock-stable Kubuntu 10.10 “Maverick Viñales^WMeerkat” AMD64 install’s package manager and went to bed. The servers were clearly being hammered and the ETA of the files required was some 22 hours hence. I got up the next morning to find that the upgrade had halted as some files were not retrievable. I set it going again and this time it didn’t quite take as long, proceeded without a hitch and later that day I was booting into a shiny new operating system.
