Command line shows ubuntu version as 14.04 while GUI shows 13.10.
I was upgrading my system yesterday from 12.04 to 14.04. When around 60-65% updates were installed, I had to shut down the system. When I restarted the system in the morning, the system booted fine but now it shows the above problem as shown and
.
I tried the standard methods listed here and here.
This is output of sudo apt-get update
. It clearly shows that updates are being made from 'trusty'. I tried to upgrade to 14.04 (Assuming I was on 13.10) using sudo update-manager -d
But I got message saying "Software is up to date".
Can someone explain me how do I fix it. Also how come system recovered from the failed update?
Also the system now takes a lot of time to boot and it has one other minor issue. When I login in into the system, I get a glitch as shown in this video. This is just after I enter the password. Is it related to the issue I mentioned above or is it something else?
Best Answer
I think you have similar case to mine. As Ubuntu forked
gnome-control-center
, you may have both already installed after upgrade.Open terminal, run
unity-control-center
→ DetailsYou should see 14.04 Logo
Open terminal, run
gnome-control-center
→ DetailsYou may see 13.10 Logo, like mine (I think someone forget to update it as it's not important, fresh Ubuntu install has only
unity-control-center
)To check run:
I think it's just matter of logo image, no relation to upgrade or graphic glitch. This is related bug report lp bug#1281155 "About this Computer" shows 13.10 instead of 14.04
Now for resuming upgrade; I believe that How do I resume a release upgrade/update? will fix broken
apt
/dpkg
status by resuming interrupted installation for only marked packages. So it does not really resume upgrade process.If you notice that some old application are missing, this happened to me once then I installed all remaining applications by selecting them manually. (one by one)
Well, This is untested method neither I can prove it will not produce more problems.
ubiquity
usesapt-clone
for upgrade process. As upgrade process was interrupted,ubiquity
leaves its backup.(
sudo updatedb; locate apt-clone
, if you can't find it)Open
apt-clone-state-ubuntu.tar.gz
and verify./etc/apt/sources.list
is fortrusty
Install
apt-clone
Restore backup using
apt-clone
