Hello Stew, When my update crashed I rebooted and restarted the updates. The result was that not much functioned and I had all sorts of rubbish to clean out. In the end, I zapped Ubuntu and did a clean install of the good old 9.04 which worked fine. I'll just wait for a stable 10 something version before I try again. For me, having the latest version is unimportant because I just use it at home. Right now I'm testing Linux Mint 8's KDE version, which, so far, looks nice.
