I upgraded from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and now I can't see my windows share. In Network it shows the windows pc but clicking on it gives the error: Unable to Mount Location, DBus error. It worked ok on 9.04, shame it didn't carry over
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have installed Ubuntu on an other computer using a Ubuntu 9.10 cd and I can connect to the internet perfectly. Now that I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, the internet won't work. I can see the connection but doesn't seem to be able to connect to it.
I remember having a similar problem with Ubuntu 9.10 on an different computer but I never found a fix to it. I tried searching for fixes to similar problems but none of them seemed to work.
I recently upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 after not using linux on my PC for a few months. After the upgrade, everything worked fine except my wireless card no longer works. It seems to have disappeared from my available interfaces. Here's the output from lspci:
Code:
$ lspci | grep Wireless
04:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT3092 Wireless 802.11n 2T/2R PCIe
...and iwconfig:

I've been through posts about similar problems that did fixes using things like blacklist and modprobe, but none of these worked. I've searched the RaLink webpages for more up to date linux drivers but found nothing that worked - I downloaded the RT3090_LinuxSTA_V2.3.1.6 driver and followed the instructions to try and build it, but this didn't work.
I just upgraded to Kubuntu 11.04 and I have a problem with network manager. When I plug in my LAN, everything works fine, but when I try to use my wireless connection, everything hangs after a few seconds. I'm guessing it's a cpu overload problem, since CPU fan starts after a while. But I can't move my mouse and keyboard doesn't work either. I tried network-manager-gnome and reinstalling wireless driver, but it didn't solve the problem.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo here's the deal: I was happily using 10.10 to create ad-hoc wifi networks on my Dell Vostro 3700 with Broadcom BCM4313. Everything worked 100%
After upgrading to 11.04, I am still able to connect to existing Wi-Fi networks, BUT I can't create ad-hoc networks anymore for some reason!
Specifically, NetworkManager is failing with its association request to the driver. Repeatedly. Until I get another screen in the GUI prompting me for the password details.
Last night I already succeeded upgrading to 10.10 (Maverick meerkat), on previous version I never face wireless issue after installed additional package (sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter). But after upgrading I saw the wireless is disabled and the hardware indicator light off. I used Lenovo notebook.
This is my wireless detail info code...
I have an HP 311c netbook which was dual booted XP home and Ubuntu 10.04. Everything worked fine apart from the internal wireless modem (the only reason I needed XP as it worked under Windows) I then upgraded to 10.10 and that started my network problems.
I upgraded Ubuntu using terminal and update-manager, which went ok. The network was identified, but more often than not it now seems to crash the network (and seems to happen sporadically too) - seems to be at some stage whenever the netbook is on now. This then prevents all other PCs/Ipods from accessing the internet. The only way to recover is to reboot my wireless network and the internet modem (and shutdown the netbook).
I got so infuriated with it that I clean installed from a USB key I created, Wireless network runs fine with all other PCs and IP equipment
Network: Linksys 11 B
Internet modem Virgin Media
One strange thing that happened when I upgraded, but seems to have now disappeared, is that I managed to get it to identify and actually use the internal modem, although that 'Mobile Internet' option under Network Manager has now disappeared from the list, so I cannot activate it..
I don't know if others are experiencing this but browsing is extremely slow in firefox after "upgrading" to ubuntu 11.04. I have not tried other browsers. Even checking for updates fails several times.
I had to re-boot to windows to post this thread and now it's working fine. It's been 3 days since upgrading and I've observed many times that there's no such problem in windows while I have to wait like 4-5 minutes and refresh many times to open a single page. Some sites like google are quicker though. I use firefox 4.0 both in ubuntu and windows. I didn't have this problem in 10.10 and it took me about 5 hrs. to download 1 GB upgrade packages.
I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade directly from Fedora N to Fedora N+2.
In the Fedora 11 documentation, it was said clearly that it was not possible to upgrade from 9 to 11. The Fedora 12 documentation was buggy, see #547070 In the Fedora 13 documentation, it is only mentioned from Fedora 12 to 13, but it's not clear whether one can upgrades from F11 to F13.
I mean, look at the bugzilla above.
In response to the Fedora 11 documentation which said:
Quote:
It is not possible to upgrade directly from Fedora 9 to Fedora 11. To upgrade Fedora 9 to Fedora 11, upgrade to Fedora 10 first.
Ruediger Landmann said:
Quote:
The Fedora 9 --> Fedora 11 problem was an issue specific to that release; it's no longer relevant.
So, if it's no longer relevant, one would think it is now possible to upgrade from Fedora 11 to Fedora 13.
By the way, how can I re-open a bugzilla?
I am planning on doing an upgrade on one of our systems from Fedora Core 7 to the Fedora Core 12 distribution. I have read Bruce Byfield's article "Upgrading to the newest Fedora release", and the approach that I am planning on taking is the upgrading via the DVD medium.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI decided to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 a few days ago. My internet then stopped working.I changed the security for my network to WEP (instead of WPA)Is there another way around this problem or can I just download another driver? I do not intend to stick with a WEP secured network.
View 6 Replies View RelatedYes, that's correct, it's a Celeron 400 running Xubuntu. And the card was working on 9.10, but not working anymore in 10.04 neither in 10.10.I've no other idea and I'm really considering moving back to 9.10Is there anything else I can check.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to upgrade PHP on my Fedora Core 6 web server. I currently have 5.1.6, all I need is verson 5.2 or higher, it is a requirement of some software I want to install. I am not really a server admin or very Linux savvy, I've been able to get around doing what I need to use this a web development server, but trying to do this is beyond me. I tried updating using yum, but I guess the latest version in the Fedora Core 6 repositories are 5.16. I've never really dealt with installing binaries, so I am stumped as to how to get this done.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had downloaded a DVD disk with Fedora 12 on it (~3.7 gig) therabouts. I used it to upgrade my F11 system to F12 or so I think. Well to make a long story short, it had installed approx 1435 files on to my computer. I never so it finish up the process because my moniter timed out and I could get it back on after it had blanked out. So I rebooted the computer (after I had removed the DVD). It showed F12 booting up but the splash screen with logon was F11's. After I logged on my nvidia driver was gone along with compiz and Avant. So I followed 'leigh123linux' response on 'Nvidia' and get it reinstalled and working along with Avant, and compiz and my rotating cube desktop. I did a yum clean to cllean up the packages and ran yum update again to refresh what may have not been installed. It show a couple hundred packages needed to be upgraded and also had alot of 'dependency' errors' for a lot of the packages. That's where I stand now. Is it 11 or still 12? Did the DVD upgrade work? Who nows.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had fedora 10 a while back,and when fedora 11 came out a few days later my PC prompted me to upgrade.. all from desktop.. clicked one button and that was it, 10 minutes later it was upgraded... perfect.
This time, I'm sat on fedora 11 looking at the timeline for the 12 release, it gets released and i'm still waiting for 11 to tell me i can upgrade... I know I can upgrade manually, but im quite interested as to why it hasnt asked me automatically this time.
Maybe something in my config is stopping it?
we want to upgrade the kernel on Fedora 12 .but problem is , while doing 'make install' , it gives error as 'mkinitrd' is not available .which is required during 'make install'how to run 'make install' command on Fedora 12 without 'mkinitrd' utility.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAnyone having problems with flash after upgrading to F14? Was working fine on F13, but now on F14 it crashes - can't even load the flash test page.

yesterday I've decided to upgrade my distro from F13 to F14 using preupgrade. There were no errors during installation, but after first boot I've noticed glitches in GTK widgets in GDM and other windows after logon (strange white strips on buttons, progress bars and more). Moreover there were even worse glitches in gnome-do. I've attached two screenshots to show exactly what I [URL] I think this is a problem directly connected with upgrading the distro as there are no mentioned glitches when running standard live version of Fedora 14.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Fedora 13 and have VirtualBox 3.2 installed. I see in yum list that VirtualBox-4.0.i686 is available but apparently I do not get updated to this version running yum update. How can I update to VirtualBox-4.0.i686 ? I uninstalled 3.2 and simply installed 4.02 and everything worked fine. Previous virtual machines are compatible and still work as before.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEarlier in the week I ran the upgrade to move from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14 on my home workstation. After a bit of fussing I managed to get things working for the most part. The problem I have left is a show stopper for me though. I can't get k3b to work right since the upgrade. I primarily use it to copy video dvds that I've created. The first disk that I tried to copy was a dual layer disk and although it fussed about not being able to umount the disk it was able to copy it ok. Then I tried to copy a single layer dvd and can't seem to get that to work. Right away I noticed that it was reading the disk very slowly.
About a meg a second which is a LOT slower then it used to. It then didn't eject the source disk when asking for a new disk which was it's previous behavior. When I put the blank disk in the write failed immediately with an error about not having permission to write to the device. After a bit of fussing without luck to get past that I decided to try and write the disk while running k3b as root. That got me past the permissions problem but still the write failed immediately. I do need to iron out the permissions issue that currently is forcing me to do this as root but my immediate need is to be able to burn disks again.
I have 90 + clients running Fedora 12 on a beefy i7 machines used for various reasons.
The configuration is as follows:
HD = 1 Terabye with the following partition setup:
200 Meg for /boot
60 Gig for /
844 Gig for /opt
Users authenticate using NIS and have their home dirs auto mounted as well as others directories.The issue on hand:
1) We want to move up to Fedora 14 (since 12 is no longer supported).
2) The first hurdle is working around the 200 meg boot partition. Does anyone know of a process which can be automated for this? Currently, I was able resize a client by decreasing the root to 59 gigs and boot to 1.2 gigs through the use of gparted.
3) Is there a utility which will allow me to deploy this using a utility/script on all the clients?
4) Ultimately I want to automate the process without having to touch each machine.
At Present my Desktop has only 0.5 Meg Memory, F14 works well, F15 refused to Upgrade a 750 MB minimum I have gone back to 14.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 and running an update ubuntu can't connect to any wifi networks, although it can see them perfectly (and potentially unrelated, the windows partition is having major dns issues with the wifi too).
I've looked around and can't find an obvious fix, just a bunch of posts from people with the same problem that wasn't solved. I got frustrated and was about to install 10.10 again but I noticed I couldn't connect to the wifi on the liveCD either. I then tried the 10.04 liveCD, and the internet worked aswell as when I installed it. However before when I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 I had no problems with the wifi, so it leads me to suspect that there was something installed/some setting in 10.04 that is missing from the latter version.
I've never compiled a kernel before and I'm in need of the 2.6.28 kernel (two words: macbook aluminium).
I guess my biggest question is, will this guide work well for F10? I would hate to get half-way through it just to find out that F10 does something different than F08 or F09. Is there anything that you experts can see right away that would possibly be disastrous? If things do come to worse, I can simply select the previous kernel at GRUB boot right?
Or will the Fedora team be releasing the update soon through the package manager? Is there a way I can activate the development version and only get the kernel update?
When I installed F11 I chose to install Bugzilla with it. It is installed and working great, but It is not the newest version, and apparently the repositories I have installed do not have the newest version. Anyone know what repository I could get this from, if its possible?

Quote: Please don't even bother trying this... each upgrade between fedora versions has it's risks, I'd give you a 4% chance of success between these two versions. And if you upgrade, you'll not end up with FC12, you'll end up with a horribley messy mish mash of a distribution that just happens to mostly contain FC12 rpms. Do yourself a proper favour and save important data and configs, and reinstall. and then keep it up to date properly. Another quote was as follows:
Quote: Glennzo posted a thread in [URL] about upgrading which surfaced in a recent thread. If it's a production system I'd strongly suggest copying the setup to a test slash staging server to see if cleanly installing and modifying F12 versus upgrading to 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 is more efficient slash less error-prone. I am inclined to try doing the upgrade on a test server to see if it works. Should I even bother with that approach or just proceed with the scratch install?
I'd like to reproduce the way I got to f12 from f11, but obviously to f13 basically I started out on the f11 rawhide repos, then as f12 got released a yum update updated my fedora-release and then hey presto I was automatically upgraded to f12 final release if I now turn on my rawhide repos, as f13 is nearing completion, will I be updated to the latest f13 release (RC3 I believe) and then as f13 gets released my fedora-release will be updated and i will then be upgraded to f13 final as happened before?I don't want to download a whole dvd iso and then upgrade when f13 is final, I'd like to do a gradual transition ie..
f12 -> f13 RC3 via rawhide
f13 RC3 -> f13 Final via yum update
