Kubuntu 10.10 upgrade

If you have 10.04 (Lucid) and want to upgrade to 10.10 (Maverick), you may be tempted to simply follow these instructions. Unfortunately, they did not work properly for me on three different machines!

What do you need to do?

1. Follow the above instructions, but when it hangs (as it did for me three times), 'kill' the upgrade process, ignore the "reboot" notice, and then
2. Open a terminal window and type: sudo dpkg --configure -a
3. When that ends, type: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade just to make sure you have the latest

Now you should be able to reboot and everything should work.
