Type {{{kdesudo "/media/cdrom/cdromupgrade"}}} in the command box and press the '''return''' button. <

=== Troubleshooting ===
If you get an error stating one of these possibilities:<
>
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu<
>
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu<
>
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu<
>
try executing the following:<
>
<
>
'sudo dpkg --configure -a' in a terminal.<
>
<
>
Afterwards, reboot, and try the upgrade again. This should help to fix any broken packages
that are missing due to upgrade problems.
