I was trying to upgrate Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 (I know, it’s 9.06 now). No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get the Update Manager to run. It always sat there keeping quiet. I check the System Monitor and it told me “inet_wait_for_connect”. Good, so I worked on my proxy and all the network setting stuff (not too many, actually, told you I am not smart). At the end, I was smart enough to try the download server in the US of A and it worked. …geez, why did I not know to use the main server instead of the domestic server? I think I need to get smarter to use Ubuntu on my 4 computers (now all running Ubuntu). Or, the Ubuntu people need to get smarter, so I don’t have to.
===============================
So I got the Update Manager to work for me. Now it came to run for like 5-10 minutes giving me those step by step pleasure. ( I have to admit it: I am addicted to those virtual sense of achievement. It makes me feel like I am handling something…) Anyway, after the suspending excitement the Update Manager to me I need some hundreds more MB’s. …can’t you tell me at the beginning?
Now I am going to take VirtualBox away…it’s a nice work by the nice people in Sun Microsystems…wait, the Oracle people soon-to-be or already. The Disk Usage Analyzer says VirtualBox is usring 4.5 GB but I take a look and it should be using only 2…where are the other 2.5?
Sigh…there are so many things I don’t understand about computers…
