Hi Surya

Sorry but I'm in hollydays now , it's why i dont looking my email since times.
Anyway i have the same trouble of you, my problem coming from the packet "customiz...etc.deb" (i dont remember exactly it's name), it was installed when i make a update and stay in the cache and i cant delete it, i try every command from the terminal i can find on the net, ask help but nothing work then after about 10 days i reinstall the OS on my old OS,
When you reinstall, ( don't format) you have a choice to install the new OS on the old one and keep all your config, softs etc... and it control if all your softs is rigth for the OS 11.04 if not it delete it (if you have make a update and you keep all your softs from 10.10) it's a very good option.
It take long time do do this job, for me all the night until afternoon but it do it very well, no problem but make a copy first of all your important things you have on this OS, in case!!!

Ubuntu 11.04 have still some bug somewhere but it's a very good OS with softwares for about everythings, very fast, light, easy to do and all for free...
I hope this info help you, let me know.

Have a good day.
