I would like to upgrade my Dell Inspiron 3451 from 14.04LTS to 16 ... every single time it fails. Error last time was "could not install sysv-rc" .. it continues installation but after all that displays new version but it fails upon reboot or restart. Afterwards have to reinstall factory version. Help. :)

    What steps are you following to upgrade your system? Have you seen this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/110477/how-do-i-upgrade-to-a-newer-version-of-ubuntu – Manish Kumar Bisht Jan 10 '17 at 05:26
  • I never use the upgrade process, I've had issues with it before. I always backup my data and then do a clean install. Can you just install a 16 version directly? – theferrit32 Jan 10 '17 at 05:28
  • on the newbie side so fearful of doing a clean install due to drivers. – tropicalgeek Jan 30 '17 at 19:58
  • my steps are: I get the notice for the update and I tell it yes to update. Takes its time to download. It downloads all and says it is done. It reboots and then crashes. The crash is so bad (and being a bit of newbie) that I am forced to reinstall 14 – tropicalgeek Jan 30 '17 at 20:00
