Today in my wisdom I decided to upgrade to 9.10.
It seems to have upgraded but now there is no sound, the touchpad is not working and the whole thing is sluggish
I would appreciate some advice on how to fix this please.

Touchpad is another can of fish!. Search in Synaptic for touchpad and see if there is a new driver there.

Quote I had a very nice & nifty 9.04 set up dual booting on my laptop. It wasn't broke so I should have left it alone
Sorry to hear that Santiago.
Have you tried a 10.04 Live CD, I think the RC is out now. If that works ok then it may be worth upgrading to that. The release is due for 29th of this month. I must admit I experimented with 9.10 ( my netbook is still running 9.04 ) but it broke my 3g dongle so I decided I would wait for 10.04.
In preparation I did split my /home to a separate partition so that a 10.04 install would be possible later.
I've been testing the 10.04 Beta using VirtualBox on my desktop and its looking pretty good to me.

Have you already found and tried that Santiago ?

However I was just fiddling about with the drivers in Synaptic and re-installed the touchpad drivers. When I rebooted I got a pop up asking me if I wanted to keep the existing menu.lst.
Now during the upgrade I had selected "keep existing menu.lst" but this time I selected.........err the one at the top.
When it was rebooted the Touchpad and the sound were working. I am now going to have a good look around and make sure everything else is working.
Regarding 10.04, I normally wait a while until the new versions have had a good shake down before upgrading, hence my efforts today with 9.10!
Edit: BTW Opera has disappeared!

Does the boot entry stuff near the end of menu.lst correspond with your updated kernel?

Yes I would tend to agree with you there. I do get the impression that since 10.04 is a LTS release its not quite as cutting edge as 9.10 and from my tests with Virtualbox its looking good.
