Debian :: How Well Does Upgrade Work

Aug 10, 2011

I'm evaluating Debian for use as my main system (on my laptop). Currently I'm using arch linux, and am pretty satified except the need for too much manual configuration. What I'm looking for a system, which is similar to arch in that, but is more automated when it comes to configurations:

- can be build from a minimal base, with only the software that is needed, sort of "tailored" to my own needs; the system will therefore be relatively lightweight, with no unnecessary things consuming resources)

- does not require fiddling to much in configurations (I agree that some degree is necessary, due to the tailoring)

- handles well upgrades (this is where arch looks really promising, due to the rolling release, even with the disadvantage of loosing some of the stability)

One of the things I did not like about arch was the feeling to have a system which is built from several pieces that don't quite fit together. I guess that it is a consequence of the fact that some things are not configured right, or configured at all.

Debian :: Squeeze Upgrade - Tab Completion Does Not Work

Mar 15, 2010

Since upgrading my laptop to Squeeze, terminals (tested Gnome terminal and xterm) show simply a "$" prompt; machine, path and username are missing. What's really annoying though is that tab completion doesn't work, it inserts a tab character instead. Fooling around showed me that typing in the command "bash" brings everything back to what I'm used to. So in my dire newbiness do I ask, how do I reenable bash as the default shell for these programs?

Debian :: Upgrade System-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 Failed / Get It To Work?

Sep 8, 2011

I use the automatic upgrades - they hardly ever cause a problem... until now.

I just applied this upgrade (linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64) and a restart was required (normal under when upgrading the image).
After the restart my SIP phone software didn't startup - didn't even get any errors in the log file...
So I checked the "System Monitor" to see if the process was running but not displayed... the System Monitor generates a core dump...

I hope there will be another update to solve this really quickly.... not sure what else is broken. Firefox is still working and so is Skype.

Fedora :: Won't Upgrade / Get It To Work?

Jan 5, 2010

I've been trying to upgrade Fedora 11 to 12 for a while. I tried it when it first came out and it wouldn't install, it just gave me an error about how it couldn't install (in final step). I tried again today and said I needed to reboot to complete the upgrade. I clicked the reboot now button and it rebooted, but it was still Fedora 11 and nothing was any different to normal. I go back into preupgrade and it does the same thing again.

How can I get it to upgrade properly without doing a clean install

CentOS 5 :: Yum Upgrade Won't Work / What To Fix It?

Jan 26, 2010

I just installed CentO.S 5.3 from CDroms using a kickstart file. The kickstart file was created a few days before, installing CentOS 5.1 from DVD. With the 5.1 setup (different hardware) I had no problem upgrading the system to 5.4 but for some reason I can't get it to work on this 5.3 system. It just stops when when it's determining fastes mirrors. (see screenshot)
I use ntlmapps to get trough the MS ISA 2003 server. This is running on another server and is working for other installations just fine.

Fedora :: Sound Does Not Work Before And After F14 Upgrade?

Nov 9, 2010

So my sound doesn't work. Before I upgraded to 14 I was using 13 and it didn't work either upgraded to 14 and it still didn't work. So then I uninstalled pulseaudio and reinstalled pulsaudio still to no avail.

My sound card:
lspci | grep Audio
Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller
(I am using a thinkpad t42).

Then I typed into the terminal "pulseaudio" and got the output :
[root@zach-thinkpadt42 ~]# pulseaudio
W: main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified).
E: module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile.

E: bluetooth-util.c: Error from ListAdapters reply: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited
Does that mean my driver isn't working?

Ubuntu :: Wireless Won't Work After Upgrade To 10.04?

May 15, 2010

I am having problems getting my wireless to work after upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04. I believe this is a driver issue as when I do a lsusb listing it shows up:

D-Link Corp. [hex] DWL-G120 Spinnaker 802.11b

however an ifconfig does not show any wireless cards. Only the eth1 and lo listings.

This lists my card as working with ndiswrapper, however I've had no luck. [URL]

I want to get this working again. 9.10 had no issues. Is it possible to revert back?

Server :: Samba Upgrade To 3.5.2 - Getting ACL To Work

May 4, 2010

I upgraded the samba on Ubuntu Server 8.04 to 3.5.2 so Windows 7 would be able to log into the domain. Now Samba isn't using ACL permissions and I can't alter the ACL with the Windows security dialog. All the permissions still show correctly on the server. Did something change with Samba 3.5.2? How to get the ACL to work with Samba 3.4.3 or newer?

Slackware :: After Upgrade To 13.1 K3b Doesn't Work

Jul 24, 2010

I had been running Slackware64 13 almost since it came out and recently upgraded to Slackware64 13.1.Every thing looked to be working well until I tried to burn a DVD with k3B. It starts the burn process but then dies and says that "cdrecord has no permission to open the device".I was able to put in a DVD+RW and erase it without a problem, but when trying to burn to a DVD-R it stops and gives me the error.I checked cdrecord and it is owned by root in the root group.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: DVD Fails To Work After Upgrade To 11.2?

Nov 28, 2009

Cannot find input plugin for MRL [dvd:/] Is now the message that I get when attempting to play DVDs in Kaffeine, which worked very well in SuSe 10,3 three hours ago. Ironically, VLC now works a treat, when upgrading that in 10.3 killed it.Xine doesn't want to work (restricted format), and Kaffeine isn't playing any files either. Has something been dropped from my previous setup, or do I have an inadequate installation? I'm not very command line oriented I'm afraid;I just expect things to work as they did before...:-)

Ubuntu :: Printer Won't Work After HPLIP Upgrade?

Jan 27, 2011

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. The Update Manager did an update to HPLIP, the Hewlett Packard Linux Internet Printing software, one or two days ago. When I went to print today, the HP Officejet 4500 printer showed up in Open Office when my mouse pointed to the printer icon. But, the printer wouldn't work. Then I noticed that the HPLIP Toolbox icon was moved from the Applications - Accessoires folder, to the System - Preferences folder. I reinstalled all the HPLIP software, using the Synaptic Package Manager. When I click on the HPLIP Toolbox & run the HP Device Manager, it says "No Installed HP Devices Found".I was a little surprised to see the software upgrade caused the HPLIP toolbox to move fromhe Applications folder to the System folder. Because of this, I suspect there may be a bug in the upgraded software? Is anyone else having this problem?

Ubuntu :: Why Doesn't Everything Continue To Work After An Upgrade

Jul 6, 2011

I'm just a newbie to this operating system. Even though I'm having some trouble, it still seems more sensible to me than Windows. I'd like to continue to use it, but I'd like to know why it doesn't work for me sometimes, and I'd like to see if I can't make it work better for me.

After I upgraded to 11.04 I've had a host of problems. My USB ports have intermittant trouble recognizing storage devices. My USB ports also have intermittant trouble recognizing my USB WiFi device. The VLC player will crash the Gnome Desktop whenever I use it. I still haven't figured it out.

I'm interested in the following question:

Why can't software and hardware that already works be insured to continue to work after an upgrade?

Software :: SVN Does Not Work In Eclipse After Ubuntu Upgrade

Dec 27, 2010

I recently upgraded my Linux Ubuntu from 10.04 to 11.04, but after the upgrade my Eclipse lost it's plugins. So I re-installed subclipse [URL] but it does not work; There is a "<SVN Repository Exploring>-perspective>" but it does not contain the right Views, and I can't add them manually, beacause there is no 'SVN'-category. I tried to reinstall Eclipse, but when I remove and re-add it using Ubuntu Software Center all features and plug-ins are exactly the way they were... So I still can't use SVN.

Ubuntu Networking :: Internet Doesn't Work After Upgrade

Jan 4, 2010

I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. When I restarted, I admired the new login menu, then went to Firefox. I noticed that my wireless didn't work (it did in 9.04) Thinking I'd just need to reinstall the drivers, I plugged in the computer to a working Ethernet outlet with a working cord. I noticed that Ubuntu didn't tell me that Auto eth0 was connected. It didn't tell me anything. And then I went to Google and realized that the wired connection didn't work either. Then I came here on an iPod Touch and you know the rest.

Edit: And other devices work too on the network.

Ubuntu Installation :: 8.10 Upgrade To 9.10 Dual Monitor Won't Work

Jan 26, 2010

I have a Intel DQ35JOE motherboard with integrated video (DVI and VGA). I've been running Ubuntu 8.10 for at least a year with both monitors working fine. One is a Hanns-G 27.5 inch, the other (VGA) is an older AOC 19". They were both plugged into the motherboard video plugs (it had both), and they worked side-by-side (not mirrored) just fine on 8.10.Last night I decided to go ahead and take the plunge and upgrade to the latest, because I run 9.10 on my laptop and love a lot of the new stuff. The reason I hadn't upgraded was because I feared the potential problems - which I ran into head-on this time.

Upgrade to 9.04 seemed to go fine. Then I immediately did the upgrade to 9.10. Unfortunately, my screens came up upside down and backwards. And the mouse moved the wrong way. And to click on something in the top left of the screen, I had to have my mouse on the bottom right of the screen.Well, I also received a warning that my primary hard disk was failing. So, I decided to just do a clean install of 9.10 on a new disk that I had handy - hoping it would be better if it was a clean install rather than an upgrade.

Now I can't get dual monitor to work at all, and Ubuntu seems to not recognize my monitors. If I just plug one monitor in, it works. But it won't let me adjust resolution above 1280x1024 (my big one is 1920x1200). And it says "unknown" instead of identifying the monitor.Also - at one point both monitors were appearing (but "unknown"), but mirrored, and whenever I uncheck "mirror screens" and click apply, the screen just goes black with a frozen cursor - and I can't even do CTRL-ALT-F6 to get to a terminal - it just freezes the whole computer.
