Gents:

Running U_12.04 on AMD965 and Xeon_1240 systems.

I notice that a formal varient UBUNTU-GNOME-LTS will be an option for upgraders, **AND** that this version of GNOME3 will include GNOME-classic. No cartoonish icons makes me happy. So with a spare system I'm willing to take-that-shot as soon as the first "de-bugged" 14.04.x is released; a month or so prolly.

But ... unlike other previous UBUNTU upgrades I see no offer-to-upgrade in my U-12.04 upgrade-manager. Very unlike the NAGGING from U_12.04 to replace U_10.04. What's the deal? Is 14.04 it not ready to replace legacy systems ?? Does upgrade-manager no longer handle the task ???

And if I may ask is there a reason FireFox no longer functions on THW? All gummed-up on both GNOME3 and Xfce. I'm now posting from OPERA in Xfce ... without issue.

12.04LTS will not be "offered" the 14.04 upgrade in update-manager until version 14.04.1

You can force an upgrade by:
  1. sudo apt-get update
  2. sudo do-release-upgrade -d


Really I would just backbup /home and freshly reinstall though, probably a lot faster!

BTW I use firefox with THW on gnome3 & xfce and it is fine. Try backing up and removing ~/.mozilla to reset firefox settings?

skittle:

HUmm OS not offered yet as upgrade --- that's what I needed to know. Then prudently I'll just wait.

I'm on OPERA again ... though closed-out it kindly remained logged-in to THW while I used Firefox on other sites. I have no idea what it means to "...backing up and removing ~/.mozilla to reset firefox settings." But, I suspect it's something I don't do.

He quite literally means that you should back up the .mozilla directory currently in your home directory and remove the copy there. You can probably just move the directory somewhere else as that's essentially the same thing in one step. This directory has all of the profiles so when (re)moved all of the settings will be restored to defaults. Of course you'll lose bookmarks (these can be exported to a HTML file and reimported though), history etc. as well. You might get away with just clearing the cache.

What exactly isn't working? I'm running Firefox, albeit not in Linux, and I don't have any particularly bad problems.

I have a url over-writing all your message and cannot type any text:
