Heron wasn’t offered for me. It suggested I go the step by step method to Edgy first.

No, DON’T use the -d switch! That means check for development releases. You don’t want that.

Also, I’m wondering why you are suggesting for people to run a command, rather than just using System -> Administration -> Update Manager

Well, that does nothing for me. I have been trying to cope with this Hardy disruption for days. I am pretty angry. Thanks for trying though.

I think I have an old scuffed-up disk of xubuntu-edgy, what it lacks in auto-focusing timezone selection it more than makes up for by actually working.

@SaumZ – upgrades to 8.04 can be done from Ubuntu 6.06 or Ubuntu 7.10 directly. If you’re on 6.10 I would suggest 1) a fresh install of 8.04 or upgrading step-by-step to 7.04, 7.10 and then 8.04.

Just wondering – can you upgrade from 6.10 server to 8.04 server?
