many problems with upgrading ubuntu 11.4 to ubuntu 11.10
I have an aspire 5532 and installed the ubuntu 11.04 directly on the harddisk and can boot from the start either windows or ubuntu.
Man was I impressed with this beautiful operating system and everything was working fine.
But then I upgraded to ubuntu 11.10 and now I can't get my favorite web browser Chromuim to work.
Many other applications don't work either.
I lost all my files in the process of upgrading. I'm new with computers so you can consider me a beginner.
But I wonder if I can't fix ubuntu11.10 can I go back to ubuntu 11.4?
Do I have to uninstall ubuntu altogether and download 11.4 again?

Dear Jacobsallan,
the version is Chromium broswer 14.0.835.202 (a small curved dash that I can't type)r103287-
And let me see if I can paste the results of the command: I don't know how, but I will copy .
No se ha encontrado la orden "list", quizá quiso decir:
La orden "dpkg" del paquetee "dpkg" (main)
%dpkg: no se encontró la orden
Then there is 10 different orders: like la orden "dist" del paquete "nmh" (universe)
and finally:
list: no se encontró la orden
Note: I'm using the spanish keyboard so I don't know how to type the curved dash nor the angled brackets which I replaced with "".
I wish I knew how to paste the result.
Thanks for your help.

You made a newbie mistake. I wanted you to type 'dpkg --list |grep chromium' at the command line (no quotes). Not
'% dpkg --list |grep chromium'.

The % was meant to stand for the prompt at the command line. It's like the $ sign you used to stand for your prompt.

You did this correctly.
There are two sorts of users: ordinary and administrators.
You need to login as an administrator in order to get upgrades to your software.
There should be a gear icon in the upper right corner of your screen. Use it to pop up a menu. Select "System Settings".
A System Settings dialog will appear. Click on User Accounts.
List the accounts here. Each will be labeled as an Administrator or as a Standard account. Include the label. There should be at least one that has the Administrator property.

Dear Jacobsallan,
Thank you very, very much!!! As soon as I followed your instructions of working as an administrator, the terminal followed the command perfectly and updated a whole bunch of applications. Now everything seems to be working smoothly....
Merry Christmas!
