Upgrade system process from 2.3 to 9.10.

Ok so I'm through step 3.

When I restarted the computer....Xubuntu booted up?! No clue how this happened.

I can't do step 4 because I no longer have Ubuntu Tweak and it's not in the repos?

I noticed that I did make a mistake during Step 2... after installing Firestarter, I never went to Ubuntu Tweak to install third-party apps.

Please tell me I don't have to start from step 1 with a fresh install of 2.3
(edit: I only say that because I have a horribly slow internet connection and am already 11 hours in. I realize for missing a step I kinda deserve to start over by formatting and doing a fresh 2.3 install again)

If you have read all, you would know that you have to re-add all non-ubuntu-supported repos after the upgrade to 9.10.(You must only set the mark before it. The repos are named Jaunty because the installer changed the repos to karmic but not the names,which are shown in Synaptic etc..) And then you can install Ubuntu Tweak and go on with the tutorial. btw. Thanks for this good tutorial.

P.S. At my computer, the installer didn't removed Ubuntu Tweak.

Thanks jg1006,
and yes a BIG THANKS to Admin-Amir for the How-to.

I did the repos change before upgrading.

Turns out I also had to add Ultimate Edition repos before I could get my hands on Ubuntu Tweak. I don't know why I didn't have it after the upgrade. I remember choosing to remove a ton of packages during the upgrade. I guess I wiped out everything that Ultimate Edition installs with that slick move.

Unfortunately the Third-party sources option isn't available in Ubuntu Tweak once you've upgraded to Karmic. Live and learn.

I also had no idea I could set my session to Gnome from the login screen... I'm new what can I say. Color me embarassed

I was afraid I was stuck with Xubuntu...which "in my humble opinion" looks like buttcheek. If that was the case I most certainly would've gone back to 2.3 and waited for 2.4 to release and go about this the easy way.

Thanks for the welcome. Been browsing for a month or so now, just finally registered.

That's why I'm kicking myself...I read it at least 4 times.

As I was waiting I even told myself: "self, installing 3rd Party Apps will be the next step."

I'm just glad I didn't jack it up and I'm really pretty ecstatic that I have all of my compiz features AND fullscreen video working together.
