The only thing you will need to do after upgrading is add "exec icegetty" to the end of /etc/init/tty1.conf instead of the "exec getty..." line that is there.

What are the upgrade steps????? How do I proceed????

replace all instances of "jaunty" with "karmic" in your /etc/apt/sources.list.

then sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

there are numerous articles on how to upgrade ubuntu on the internet. Don't forget to do the icegetty step above after you are done.

so when upgrading i take it this step isn't needed because the file doesnt exist? there is a tty1 file in the /etc/event.d/ folder but the end contains "exec /sbin/icegetty". I'm upgrading at the moment in hopes to work out my equalizer issue.

well after upgrading i now have an issue. xorg wont load and it is telling me that agpart is not loaded or something. any fixes for this? google just brings up people trying to disable it.

what graphics card?

in short, intel.

Integrated with the new dual-
core Intel® AtomTM processor D510:
Features an integrated graphics core
(Intel® GMA 3150) with graphics
performance improvements.

its an Intel D510MO motherboard.

i have fixed it. i am thinking my upgrade went bad as i did what this post has directed. what i did was install "update-manager" and ran "update-manager -d" from the console. the update box came up and it will let you upgrade to 9.10. do it again and you can update to 10.04. i might try that later, but we will see. i am going to try to see if i can get everything working with 9.10, if not ill update to 10.04 and try again.

10.04 should improve boot time. But 9.10 should also. I think you'll have better luck with the touchscreen using 9.10 though.

Good luck and let us know how well it works out.
