I'm having the exact same problem... It doesn't matter how I start the upgrade (through the update-manager or using the cdromupgrade), the upgrade process freezes at the "Preparing to Upgrade" step.
I then tried using different "frontends" (DistUpgradeViewKDE and DistUpgradeViewText) and they both seem to work but I don't want to use them because as James said (on the previous post) this starts downloading the packages from the Internet and since I already have the alternate CD I'd rather find a solution and be able to simply insert the CD and perform the upgrade. So... does anyone knowns a solution/workaround for this issue? -- "distribution upgrade" hangs during update to hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186465 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
