Steffen - would you like this to be tested? If so, can you provide some basic test instruction. I am new to Ubuntu bug reporting, but would be happy to help.

Great! However I don't know how to or what to provide you.

I can however tell you how this problem occurred.

I have natty (11.04) and I received a notice that I can upgrade. So I tried.

After about 12 hours of downloading, it ended with a screen (terminal
screen) that had some
code written on it which ended with a storage battery check (of which
doesn't apply to my
desktop machine) and it stopped there. It wouldn't even recognize a sudo
command saying
something like there was no such command. It just kept saying it was
running, then overnight
I stopped it.

Are you talking about the startup of the upgrade?
