Did I or did I not upgrade 9.10 -> 10.4
 

I have a laptop that was running 9.10 just fine.* I put off the upgrade until Summer, when it can fritz out on me without too much anguish.

So Summer is here, and it was upgrading itself all of yesterday.* It said it loaded and installed and reconfigured gobs of stuff.


So how come Update Manager is still offering the upgrade, and I have other hints that parts of the system still think they are 9.10, like System -> About Ubuntu.

Sounds like the upgrade didn't complete. What do you show for:

$ uname -a
$ cat /etc/lsb-release

If fully updated the last should show:
$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04 LTS"

If it doesn't then:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install -f
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

Well, I got impatient yesterday, and just did package manager again.* This time it pretty obviously *did* work.* I get the same stuff you did above.* I'm grumbling about where my window controls are, and all the rest of what's been happening to everyone else that succeeded.


Thanks for the help.l
