Ubuntu 10.04 is unstabel how do I fix or go back to 9.10

Asked by Bob

Since installing Ubuntu 10.04 my system has been unstable. I had to boot in with a live disk to see my display.

How can I either fix 10.04 so I can use it or revert to 9.10.

The original problem that lead me to 10.04 was a lack of printer support for a Canon MX850.

I am getting VERY fustrated with Linux. I do like the concept though.

You will need to reinstall Karmic, there is no other way

Hi Bob....

There is no official support for stepping backwards.... it would only be nightmare after nightmare.....

10.04 has only been 1 week now and there is a real good chance, after updates start coming through soon, that it will stabilize.

So..... if ya can put up with it for a few days I am confident major issues will be resolved. 10.04 is an LTS release so it has and will have a lot of focus on it for some time.

I appreciate each of your assistance.

I finally got an update installed. I can now see something besides purple and UBUNTU UBUNTU UBUNTU on my monitor.

I will post the original problem that lead me to try the update - Printing with Canon MX850 as a new question and close this thread.
