do-release-upgrade fails
The server upgrade (text only, no graphics) from 10.10 to 11.04 fails after building the data structures. One more thing which may be related: After installing or upgrading existing files (not sure which or when) the text on the monitor (messages and login prompt) attached to the system got real small and the keyboard became unresponsive. It all works fine in the BIOS setup. I'm not sure when or how it happened because I access the server through ssh or webmin and can still do so. I suspect a corrupted keyboard or video driver but I'm not sure what to look for. Any ideas on that regard would be helpful.
These problems might be fixed with the release upgrade. Since ssh is not recommended I issued the command through webmin's command shell module and got the following error messages. How about this: can I safely upgrade via an installation cd?
