If I went ahead and installed the Ubuntu 10.04 BETA version, would I be able to update it to the release version from within Ubuntu without having to boot from CD again (so just by the software updater)?

I bought a new issue of Linux Format magazine and saw it had a bootable disk with Fedora installer/live DVD on it which I was eager to try out "The worlds most advanced Linux distro" I put the DVD in my computer and rebooted it. I selected 'install or upgrade'. It started to load (blasting white text at me). I skipped the media test but then the screen was black and reacted to no mouse moving or keyboard pressing. Not even the OFF button, so I pressed RESET and selected 'install with basic video driver' this time it worked. It didn't fill my whole screen like many 'basic video drivers' but they don't cut off much so I was willing to forgive Fedora using one it was proberly only for the install anyway I could download a new one after. I have a Radeon HD 4200 (extreamly crap) intergrated into the north bridge. I can't afford an expensive graphics card. I build it myself so I can tell you what parts it's got if needed. Anyway I progressed through the setup without problems until I got to the partitionor which defaulted to 'Replace existing Linux system' this would delete Ubuntu an maybe Windows 7. I changed it to custom layout or something like that. It started a partitioner and I remembered I wanted to give ubuntu 30GB more room so I resized it. I created a new 50 GB logical partition and select it as the '/' partition, plenty more space for future Linux distributions. Here's the real problem. Soon after I hit install it said some repositorys require a network connection. It had only one option 'eth0' my motherboard has built in Ethernet but I connect to the net with a wifi card I do not have a cable long enough to reach this computer on the other side of the room. So how was I suppost to continue the setup? I pressed okay hoping it would give up and let me continue the setup but it didn't it said they was an error connecting to the Internet therefore setup could not continue. With only one option: 'Exit Installer'. GRRRR. Interestingly enough after I clicked it the disk drive's light kept flashing but the screen went black forcing me to reboot. Can anyone help me so I can install "The worlds most advanced Linux distribution"*

I started preupgrade with a 200M /boot partition 50% full. According to the instructions, it is supposed to give me the option of downloading the stage2 installer later. It doesn't, and crashes horribly (see below).This worked from FC12 to FC13. Reparititioning will take a day because the FC12 kindly made the root file system LVM and nothing will resize it. (I tried this with FC11 -> 12 and ended up losing everything and rebuilding the 1T disk).
Code:
$ sudo preupgrade
Loaded plugins: blacklist, whiteout
[code]....

I was happily running F10 and against my better judgement when it offered to upgrade me to F11 I decided to give it a try. The F11 install hung at 893 of 1626 packages installed. Some SE Linux package was in process of install. On the next boot the installer fails to upgrade for a corrupted root. It says I can backtrack and do a full install, but crashes with a bug when I choose backtrack.
So here is my question - Can i edit the command line and tell the installer to full install rather than upgrade? Or am I stuck with downloading a DVD ISO and doing a full install that way. I've done F8, F9 and F10 so full install from DVD doesn't bother me.

I am trying to install Fedora 11 from a DVD. Not the live DVD, the full DVD and it hangs constantly. I had to wait 10 minutes for it to Find Storage Devices, 10 minutes to input a root password and now I am waiting for the drive shares to be setup. It's already been 10 minutes. I verified the disk and everything was fine. Why is this taking so long?

I'm fairly new to fedora. I used Fedora 14 on a virtual machine just to mess around with it a little while back but thats about it. As far as linux goes, I just test a bunch but can never seem to pull myself away from windows. I am hoping this is the time but these issues are the weirdest I've seen on any linux distro ever. My GPU (Radeon 5750) is running at 69C idle and the fan is at full speed. I am not overclocking it at all and I'm using the default drivers that came with fedora. It works just fine in windows and a lot cooler. How can I fix this?
I'm running the Gnome 3 desktop version, which I am also getting some graphics artifacts. In the bottom bar I get a dashed white line that comes up every time I boot and goes away when I make the bar expand. Also in the applications window I get the same dashed line at the top of the window and sometimes the top of the scroll bar. So far I really like Gnome 3 (Idk why everyone is whining about it) and I'd like to stick with Fedora, and linux for that matter

I've been running Xubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx on a netbook. It's an EeePC 701 which has been upgraded to 2Gb RAM, but the only storage device is a soldered-in (why) 4Gb SSD. At present this prevents me from installing much software. I started a previous thread (link) in Absolute Beginner Talk which pointed me to portablelinuxapps.org, where I found a list of applications that were compiled to a single executable that could be run from any locaton (inc. USB drives): absolutely brilliant for openoffice and skype etc, but it's still a limited list of software.
So I was wondering if theres any possibility to install conventional packages in a way that uses space on a different drive (i.e an SDHC card in this case)? I'm open to the possbility that this may mean keeping the card in at all times. Alternatively, is it possible for an end-user to create the kind of self-contained executables found on portablelinuxapps.org, or can only the developer do it?

Even if you select all the packages when installing, it is not a full version. Many
packages are unavailable.
I remember that Red Hat Linux 9 has two options: Minimize and Everything.
The everything option will install a full version, which is
much larger and more abundant.
How can we do this for Fedora 9/10?

I am trying to compile a patch for HDMI audio, reference this thread [URL]
Code:
Instructions:
- download alsa-driver-1.0.21 from alsa homepage
- unpack downloaded alsa:
$ tar jxvf alsa-driver-1.0.21.tar.bz2
- download and apply my patch
$ wget http: [URL]
$ cd alsa-driver-1.0.21
$ patch -p 1 < ../alsa-driver-1.0.21-nvidia-ion2-hdmi.patch
- compile alsa
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
when I do ./configure it outputs this
Code:
The file /lib/modules/2.6.33.7-pclos6.bfs/source/include/linux/autoconf.h does not exist. Please install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel sources (default is /lib/modules/2.6.33.7-pclos6.bfs/source). How can I direct it to install with the 'full kernel sources' ?

My boss is asking me if there is any way to run a full version of Ubuntu from a flash drive without installing virtualbox/vmware on a windows host. I've been searching pendrivelinux.com and really haven't found anything. Can someone point me in the right direction?

After searching online and in these forums I found two different ways of installing the Nvidia drivers in fedora 12. If you haven't yet installed the the repos then:
Code:
su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
First way:
as su
(1)
yum --enablerepo=rp*g install kmod-nvidia.$(uname -m) xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64
[Code]...
I used the first way and everything seems to work fine. Compiz-fusion works good but i did have to add vga=795 to /boot/grub/grub.conf to get the graphical boot loader to work again. Should I have used the second method? What is the difference in these two ways? Most notably the second steps. Is one way better or preferred over the other? From my understanding you must do this because of the nouveau driver.

I hve to install ns 2.26 on fc8 and am having the following errors during my installation: checking whether the C++ compiler (g++ - 3.3) works... no configure: error installationor cofiguration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. NS configuration failed! Exiting... ow i made some research and found out that the problem may be coused because the ns 2.26 may require gcc versions lower than 3. So i started te adventure of intalling gcc 2.95 as a second gcc on my PC. After following an instalation guide i tryed th install an received these 2 errors:

Well I just freshly installed Fedora 12 from a live CD onto my laptop and I would like to do the same with a new computer I picked up recently. Going anti Windows. Anyways it is a Acer Revo 1600, The computer is running Windows Home Edition with SP3. I do not have a optical drive since the computer is the size of a router, I do however have a USB but I can't not find it to save my life. So how would I go about installing Fedora 12? I have tried the mirror method but couldn't figure out how to do it. Does any just just have a link with a download button and it be simple as that. Also like Wubi I can keep Windows and Linux, Is there something like that but with Fedora 12 and I can still keep XP. how would I also download and try Fedora 13 Alpha?

I installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx a while ago. but then upgraded it to 10.10
I don't have the CD with me right now and i need to fix some mistakes of mine (being a n00b to ubuntu) urgently i.e. i can't wait for morning. Is there anyway i can rollback to the time when my ubuntu installation was in mint condition?
One more thing. Let me tell you my mistake. Almost a month ago i installed Apache2 on my Laptop (for LAMP). and now i have to install Apache Tomcat for JSP development. but the problem is that the files made by Apache2 and the PHP5 installation i made are not removed with
Code:
Code:
So now the apache2 files are superseding the Apache Tomcat. hence i cannot distuinguish between apache2 or apache tomcat when i goto:
Code:
So if anyone has a way of ridding my laptop of this disease without complete overhaul, please post your replies here.
Until then, I will have to defect back to Windows.

I disconnect my internal Windows hard drive first. Then run the installer from the Desktop CD. Everything works great.This is approximately the steps I take: I reboot, everything is good. I reconnect my internal hard drive, boot to Windows, reboot back to Kubuntu, everything is still good. I run updates and follow the instructions of the Comprehensive Multimedia & Video Howto. I reboot again, still no problems. At this point, I figure everything is OK and I have no worries. I boot to Windows and do some work in that environment. The next time I boot to the external Kubuntu hard drive, I get the following errors:
Begin: Starting AppArmor profiles ...
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory

have tried to replace WindowsXP with ubuntu netbook 10.10 on my Acer Aspire one (model ZG5), I opted for erasing the disk completely to just have ubuntu on the machineit runs perfectly from the USB drive, but will not boot up after a full installation, I just get a black screen with flashing underscore cursorthere are several threads about this problem but I cannot glean a solution, I have used 2 downloads as I thought the first iso might be corrupted, but still cannot get the system to start upwhat is the next step, is it worth persevering or trying an alternative distro?

When I boot up, my Laptop reports the operating systemis missing??? Unless, I put my XP installation disk in the drive, thenFedora will boot up fine.If I put the Live install Fedora disk in & choose to boot from the HD, again it reports the OS is missing??Clearly it isn't as here I am using Fedora after booting leaving myation disdrive.Incidentally, I don't have windows installed, Fedora only.

I've just installed Fedora 10 LIVE CD on USB (1GB) on a MSI WIND Netbook (no optical drive) and realise I don't have the extra packages options available for installation. I do have the DVD ISO and I'm just wondering if there's a way of accessing packages in the DVD without reinstallation, like Open Office, Gimp etc. Is there a way of accessing softwares in the DVD ISO? or Some how install them into my currently running Fedora 10 on my MSI WIND?

I'm installing Fedora 11 onto 4 500GB HDs....and I want it to be a RD5.
What would be the best way to do this?
1 - software raid each 500GB into a RD5, then create a LVM boot/swap/and / partitions? Is it even possible to do this? And performance wise, is this ok?
2 - the first two 500GBs into a RD0 and load the OS onto this raid, create a RD0 onto the second two 500GB, then just use rsync to mirror the first RD0 onto the second RD0...which I know isn't REALLY a RAID, but will be more of a backup onto the second raid. This probably will show the best performance, but isn't a raid.
Because the /boot has to be on a mirror drive I think my options are pretty limited.

Listed are the steps and the issue:
1. Downloaded the Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso in windows m/c
2. Used the liveusb-creator
3. Plugged the USB drive in the m/c where the Fedora needs to be installed. (This m/c does not have an OS)
4. The BIOS sensed the drive.
5. Selected the installation option from the menu
6. Proceeded with the installation steps and created the partitions
7. Got the error:
"Missing ISO 9660 image The installer has tried to mount image #1, ..."

During my two previous installation, I almost never try to include or exclude package during the process. I want to know if I only want to install XFCE as my only DE, how can i do it during the installation progress (I Know i can install both, or even with KDE, but I also know that i can do it later should I change my mind)?
Second question is, if I install only XFCE, what will I miss ?(no, not the gnome feature, but maybe fedora distro(gnome) specific tool or something). Last word, no I'm not asking what feature of gnome is absent in xfce nor which DE is better, so don't start it.

I have had problems getting Fedora 12 installed on esxi. I have 20gb of hd space and 2gb of ram. Everytime I try to load Fedora, it freezes during the install. I don't know if maybe I'm downloading bad torrents or what. Has anyone ever ran across this issue? Is there a different source I should be downloading from?
