falconeerthank you20:21
SIR_Tacofalconeer: what does the last line of your /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file say? should be "Prompt=......"20:24
falconeerthre is not update-manager directory20:25
SIR_Tacofalconeer: ok... maybe "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core" and then try the "sudo do-system-upgrade" again20:26
falconeerok20:26

SIR_Tacohave you done an "sudo apt-get update" lately?20:27
falconeerhttp://pastebin.com/LRrfaKm920:28

SIR_TacoI guess that's because those sources no longer exist....20:30
falconeerlol20:31
falconeerso what do i do now?20:32
SIR_Tacowell... if you go here... edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and replace it with the one found here http://www.mindtrickz.org/blog/default-sources-list-file-in-ubuntu-11-04/  .... it *should* work... might want to back up important things though, for my piece of mind :)20:32

falconeerhttp://pastebin.com/rEP4MiUr20:39
SIR_Tacothinking you might have to make a pit-stop at 10.04 before 11.04... might be too much of a change lol20:41
falconeerhow would i do that?20:41
SIR_Tacotry using this to get a 10.04 sources.list http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/... do your update and upgrade .... then you should be able to use the "sudo do-release-upgrade" (with any luck)20:42
