Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
I installed 7.10 on my system and then tried to upgrade to 8.04RTS with the Upgrade Manager. When the install was almost completed, it said that it had trouble installing network-manager. Then the install froze-- weirdly enough, the GNOME menus and internal commands worked fine but there was no way to get to a terminal window. I did a hard reset and tried to boot into the new kernel, and it just gave me a blank screen. Booting into the old kernel worked, and the system is functional, including, surprisingly enough, the network manager. Running lsb_release -rd shows that I am indeed running 8.04.3 LTS.
