I could no longer put off upgrading Dapper and was dreading the nightmare it would be. I am so glad I was proven wrong, I think I'll pack it in for the night and watch some cartoons.

YAY!

This tutorial has worked twice for me without issue. I just have to carefully monitor which files it wants to overwrite. Usually I let it overwrite the file after seeing what I will need to change back. I change them back in another SSH window right afterwards. That way I get the new default configurations with just the minor changes I need. Thanks again! Thanks! This tutorial has worked twice for me without issue.

Don't do it if Dapper still works for you. I have never experienced or seen a linux upgrade go without a snag. This upgrade from Dapper to Hardy was a long and shitty trip.

sudo do-release-upgrade
I did
screen sudo do-release-upgrade

So if something screwed up during the install You can reconnect locally by typing in
screen -r

Best way to get it fixed is to let them know about it. @Will – I am not running ldap on any of the machines I tested, but I would suggest reporting the bug, including the files listed.
