another solution: Don't upgrade to 11.04. resist the impulse, especially if you've got an older computer running well on 10.04 or 10.10. Won't hurt to wait at least two months after a new release. Plus with everyone wanting to upgrade, servers are slow. Also i dont think this release includes gnome3. But this is a good post for those who have taken the plunge. thanks. and for those who really want the newest stuff no matter what the cost, remember to back up your important files before you upgrade. Or your whole partition, in case you want to revert to the way you set up your computer before. Helpful comment too, Michael.
