The recommended approach is to ensure you have a backup of your important data (or have it on a separate partition) and install a vanilla Ubuntu instead of upgrading. The latest Ubuntu version is 8.10 and a new one is due out in April (9.04). 8.04 is the "Long Term Support" version, so there will still be security updates for it for quite some time yet. If you could get the error to us, that would be very helpful. Regards.
