What about if you need the Update Manager?

1: System > Administration > Update Manager (near the end of the list)

Tell me please what happens.

Important tho is to go for "Manual" partitioning rather than "Guided" or automatic as you can then make sure you UNtick a box for each partition that says "Format Partition?". If you manage to find and ensure the "Format Partition?" option is unticked for each partition then the upgrade wont wipe your data or destroy your menu's or anything - it'll just upgrade.

Good luck with this and sorry i couldn't get a better answer to you faster yesterday.

The errors occur because 7.10 is no longer supported. I think it is possible to change the repositories to read the newer ones but it's not easy. Good luck

Hi
   Thnx a lot for ur sensire support, but it is unfortunate to say that I cannot resolve my error, I tested various codes like
  ziaa@Gikian:~$ sudo apt-get -o Debug::Acquire::http=true -o Acquire::http::No-Partial=true update
  In addition I also tested

ziaa@Gikian:~$ udo apt-get -o Debug::Acquire::gpgv=true -o Debug::Acquire::Http=true -o Debug::pkgAcquire=true update 2> debug.txt
And finally

ziaa@Gikian:~$ sudo apt-get -o Debug::Acquire::gpgv=true -o Debug::Acquire::Http=true -o Debug::pkgAcquire=true update 2> debug6762.txt

But nothing updated i-e cannot resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com'

Regards

Ziaa

Hi, thanks for getting back to us. I still think you haven't been able to upgrade 7.10? Please download and make a new Cd of Kubuntu 8.04 (or 8.10).
http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu

Make sure your data is safely saved on Dvd's/Cd's or even on a separate partition and then try installing the new Kubuntu over the top of your old one. 7.10 is no longer supported and the repositories for it have been closed - that is why you are getting the errors.

When you try installing the new Kubuntu try going throught the "Manual Partitioning" option when you get that far (rather than "Guided" or "Automatic"). If you do this then you should be able to make sure that none of your partitions get formatted (make sure you UNtick a box labelled "Format Partition?" for each partition). Also make sure the Ubuntu partition (ext3 one, probably) is set as "Mount Point /", the "/" is fairly vital as it shows the installer where to put the Kubuntu.

Good luck with this and regards from
Tom :)
