The network was not running, NIS was not working ... it was not good. The only function I've found is to update through all the versions in between 14.04 => 14.10 => 15.04 => 15.10 => 16.04. It was terrible, but otherwise I did not have a properly functioning system. Therefore I definitely do not recommend updating from 12.04 directly to 16.04. -- Slávek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
