Comment 5 for bug 108508

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 8.04 reached End Of Live on May 12, 2011.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

I have tried to reproduce with the latest developer version of Ubuntu, but could not.

Please upgrade to the latest stable version(Ubuntu 12.04) and re-test. If the bug is still reproducable, increase the verbosity of the steps to recreate it so we can try again.

Run in this case from Ubuntu12.04 terminal(or press ALT +F2 and enter the following then):

apport-collect 108508

Do feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Howto Upgrade:

Look at the "software sources" of your system. There should under the menu point "actualization" some entries about notifications.

Set them all to the shortest times available. The last entrie there should be something like notify about newer ubuntu versions.

Apply this changes and reload your package sources : e.g synaptic relaod or update manager(Software updates).

You should after this get a notification(try a bit arround until the sytem recognize) about a release upgrade from the update-manager(may be called Software updates).

Run this.

!Make first a backup of your system!(e.g. dejadub)

The upgrades has become more and more stable in the last years, but the procedure is a complicated one for the software and may under circumstances render your system unbootable.

The whole upgrade may take some hours.

Good luck!

Please iterate this until you have reached the actual version Ubuntu12.04.
