Upgrade using the Update Manager.

Fix a configuration issue with Gnome Power Manager

“The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator.” what helped:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace disabled by default in Xorg

To reenable the [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[Backspace] key combination to force a restart of X:
enable it in the configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf or run

dontzap --disable

In later versions of Ubuntu this does not work any more (see DontZap in Ubuntu Wiki). Instead add the following line to your ~/.xinitrc

setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

merge / restore of configuration files

motion

cd /etc/motion
sudo diff motion.conf.dpkg-old motion.conf

knockd

cd /etc
sudo diff knockd.conf knockd.conf.dpkg-dist

reinstall drivers

Reinstall my network driver (r8101) as described in a different post.

Just one note: As I previously installed r8101.ko using sudo insmod ./src/r8101.ko — I now have to run

sudo rmmod r8101

before

sudo insmod ./src/r8101.ko

you don’t have to do this !!!! (as you have a new kernel, this one won’t have the module r8101!!!)

restore old update behaviour
