I just tried upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04.1 (i.e. from LTS to LTS).
It failed. ..... Have I completely hosed my setup, and is a fresh re-install due? Or is there a way around this?
Thanks,

I'm no IT expert but i do recall a number of posts on the ubuntu list concerning failed upgrades from 10.04 to 12.04. You are attempting upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04.1 [revamped 12.04]. It should work... each time the recommendation that i've seen is do a fresh install from checked iso. I've always done that and not had any problems.... a pain copying to a CD each time but seems to pay off. I have also seen problems installing from USB... but that's not something i've attempted yet.
I'd say do a fresh CD install every time.
