[18:45] I'm not interested in having to back everything up for a full reinstall atm [18:47] i'm referring to 16.04 [18:47] lts [19:02] Latest LTS is 18.04 version [19:03] i know that , but I have heard trying to do a distro upgrade has a high likelyhood of messing up [19:03] so I'm assuming i'd have to back everything up and then reinstall [19:03] which I don't want to do atm [19:05] this is an older computer , but its my work-horse of sorts , settings wallpapers , programs ect. [19:06] don't have an entire day to spend here soon to do that [19:21] Well i'll check back later this weekend maybe somebody will be around then. === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life [21:31] well ok now I nee some real help , I just "updated" kubuntu 16.04 to the newest 18 version , I thought all went well until it rebooted [21:32] its sitting at a promt now [21:32] amy665: I would do a backup [21:32] and then upgrade [21:32] asked for username and pass [21:32] and?

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:35] it says some packegs were automaticly installed but not required [21:35] was instant it didn't download anything [21:35] terminal says to use auto remove [21:36] o upgraded 0 installed [21:36] ohh and 0 t remove [21:36] so um wth [21:38] tried apt nomodeset and it said invalid opersation [21:39] tried start x and vent to nvidia screen like before but came back to terminal [21:40] says at end of msg tried to use log file , then "waiting for x server to shut down [21:40] back to terminal again lol [21:40] so any ideas on where to go [21:43] so nobody with any ideas? [21:48] i read that article and said it applies to 10.0 and 10.1 respectly [21:49] is there a kernel command i can use to deleted its setting file and for it to try to reconfigure? [21:53] start x tries to start something , i get nvidiea graphics screen , then back to the terminal with same msg [21:53] all wihin 2 seconds [21:54] any parameters that might make it try to atleast get to desktop [21:55] you can't apt nomodeset [21:56] anybody around who can help amy with this? [21:56] I've never had to do it so I'm not sure [21:56] and that link is not very enlightening [21:56] can't be too hard because people do it all the time [21:56] yes its dated i read thru it [21:57] it's just a setting -- apt doesn't do settings [21:57] is there maybe a new video driver package i can download thru the terminal?
