thanks Mark. I've been resisting the upgrade because of the Unity
GUI which I've tried on a virtual machine and I don't like it. I
have really customized my Gnome desktop and I will lose all of that
, even with the legacy Gnome option. I may be forced into it at some
point though. I've tested the LinuxMint GUI as an alternative.<br>
Here's the apt-get response, what do you think?:<br>
<br>
sudo apt-get -u install linux-image-generic<br>
Reading package lists... Done<br>
Building dependency tree <br>
Reading state information... Done<br>
The following extra packages will be installed:<br>
linux-generic linux-image-2.6.35-32-generic<br>
Suggested packages:<br>
fdutils linux-tools<br>
The following NEW packages will be installed:<br>
linux-image-2.6.35-32-generic<br>
The following packages will be upgraded:<br>
linux-generic linux-image-generic<br>

Need to get 34.1MB of archives.<br>
After this operation, 139MB of additional disk space will be used.<br>

In general I would stick to the kernel updates from your distribution
unless you are doing very special things.
Note that it might be a bad idea to run 10.10 for so long: 10.10 is not
a "long term support" release, so it's probably best to keep it current.
See this page for a description of the LTS releases and expiration in
general.

Vis-a-vis your updates, sometimes an explicit deliberate install of one
or two might then make apt-get install them all:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -u install linux-image-generic
and see if that changes things.
