Upgrading To Ubuntu LTS to LTS 24.04 Noble Numbat

I ran the graphical upgrade tool hoping to do a smooth upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04.1 but when I restart as instructed NO JOY.

I was running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS happily when the upgrade tool notified me of the availability of the next LTS for download and installation. So I did a search for any caveats. I found a thread in Reddit but it was 4 months ago. The thread revealed that any kind of online upgrade to 24.04 results in failure. Clean installs are another matter though. The new version is ready for a clean install. The process of upgrading direct from an 22.04.4 or 23.10 isn't .

I should have waited. I was happy with 22.04 LTS. Regrets.

I can't boot. The computer stops booting with my ASUS motherboard dashboard. And all system hard ware is fine as reported by the motherboard.

I lost all the screenshots I have of the upgrade from downloads to the last instruction to restart.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray. What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list. Before... After.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.

New Converge ICT Plan Max with Sky Now

I pulled the trigger on Converge Max plan 400Mbps with Sky channels. I went to their sales office and asked for the upgrade. No charge at all and they didn't ask me to return the old modem. It looks like they will pull it when they install the new modem.e It came with a black box for the TV. The configuration is easy but it took me 3 days to figure out the Wired connection. It should be fine except I have to jiggle it in the config (GUI). Turn 802.1x on and off to finally connect. Here's the speed for the Wired connection:
