Additional info:
My netbook is an MSI Wind U100-257CA netbook. It's bone stock with 2 exceptions. I Upped it to 2GB of ram and updated the BIOS to allow a part-time 24% overclock to speed it up a bit. It's running a wired network connection on AC power while I did the 11.04 upgrade, and I did not have it overclocked either. I hope that all this info helps.

I am not all that knowledgable when it comes to problems that occasionally crop up in Linux. In fact, i's classify myself as a wet-behind-the-ears newbie in Linux. I know enough to be dangerous to my installation. After the 11.04 upgrade process failed, this is what I tried...

I rebooted my netbook and the desktop doesn't load up now. Used "CTRL+ALT+F1" to login on a console, ran "sudo bash", then ran "apt-get purge samba4" to completely remove the Samba4 package (thank you man pages!) which completed without issue. Then I rebooted. On reboot, the desktop didn't complete loading again. Switched to text console using "CTRL+ALT+F1" again to login, ran "sudo bash" again, then ran "apt-get clean" (if I understood the man page correctly, that should remove the download from my netbook and force a redownload of the package..) and then "ran apt-get install samba4" to try and manually re-install the package. It failed with the same error. *sigh*. I rebooted again to the desktop which again didn't load the UI, but after about 30 seconds, it popped up with a "Submit Bug" request. Not realizing it was the same error, I submitted it again. Sorry for my blunder!

Thanks for reading...
