Hi Scott! I try to describe the problem, because I solved it yesterday midnight. This Ubuntu box Intel Atom 4 CPU 2G RAM 1 Tb HDD, is my router and firewall in home office. Not so important data and databases on this box. This dist uprage is 1'st try to upgrade from 9.04 to LTS again, and I will never try 1'st on alive system like my Web server with 30 domains DNS, and mail. OK step by step dist upgr. to 9.10 from 9.04 (on 9.04 all updated fully) OK, with small settings change work all. eg: DNS, fail2ban, iptables, apache2, forward, NAT, MySQL, postfix, denyhost, x-server, gnome, and many installed programs. make all to upgrade fully with 9.10 all is OK start dist upgr 9.10 to 10.04 LTS after 2 hours of downloads started the upgrade process (all in console gdm killed) many upgrades many qusetions, sometimes I leave my conf files, but 75% overwrited with dist conf, mysql too because nothing I changed in config. I see many many problems when the mysql-server try to configure in post install. More than 1 hour I wait for end. Killed them. All other dist upgrade is correctly ended. reboot upgrade all. remove --purge mysql and all packages with "mysql" word. install from scratch. The problem is again!! remove all install with synaptic with GUI process hung and in syslog see again the problems. remove all again. install with webmin. problems. Try and googled the problem and I found some with apparmor. Stop apparmor, and try again. No way. Scrambled. OK I killed all apparmor (because first i try to enable for mysql all - and not gone). reboot remove all with mysql step by step 1 by 1 with remove --purge. install from scratch on console and ALL IS OK!! THE problemis occured why? I dont use apparmor and profiles on 9.04 with 9.10 it is in stopped state BUT LUCID !!!!! make a service !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and started apparmor WITHOUT QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? why service or BUM (this utility is more than 3 hourd googled!!) I'm not tartar. Lucid and Boot Up idea (F..) ??? make me really sick. No promlems with MySQL, only with Lucid (sorry for word-pay) stupid service manager (like in M$ Jesus Crist!). Please help me how I can return to NORMAL But and shutdown state like on (mostly) all Linx. Small addition: I have other problems, won't autostart squid, bind9 (chrooted), mysql, sshd, samba !!! Another 3h google time :-( Thank you for your Q. I hope I anvered all what you need. BR FN:KISS László ORG:Karo-Comp Bt.
