Can't upgrade to ubuntu 11.10

Asked by Joshua Mackail-Johnstone

I've recently tried upgrading to ubuntu 11.10 from 11.04 through update manager and i got the following message;

Can not run the upgrade

This usually is caused by a system were /tmp is mounted noexec. Please remount without noexec and run the upgrade again.

i put this question on yesterday, however it was answered because ubuntu 11.10 wasn't officially released.

I'm on ubuntu 11.04.

can this be fixed?

Hi, try to do this:
1. Open a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + T
2. Insert and run this command:
mount -o remount exec /tmp

3. Try to upgrade now.
