Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrading Firefox On A 64bit System?

Mar 9, 2010

I'm having problems upgrading my FF browser from the standard 3.5 up to 3.6. This is a 64bit system, & if I can provide any other info about it, just ask.I've searched this forum for the help I'm looking for, but I have not yet seen an acceptable answer. If this has glitches, or is too complicated, I won't even bother....3.5 is fine for now, but it would be nice to upgrade.

Fedora X86/64bit :: Upgrading From 11 To 12?

Nov 22, 2009

I 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.

Fedora X86/64bit :: Upgrading From 12 To 14?

Mar 18, 2011

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.

Fedora Installation :: Upgrade F11 System To F13 Using Preupgrade-cli?

Jul 26, 2010

I want to upgrade my F11 system to F13 using preupgrade-cli. Can I do that directly, or should I first upgrade to F12 and then to F13?

I have read elsewhere that Anaconda can skip one but not two versions, is that correct? If so, I assume that moving directly from F11 to F13 is OK, right?

Fedora X86/64bit :: Same Fortran Code, Different Results For 32 And 64bit System?

Jan 15, 2010

I have the simple fortran codes as:

Code:
integer :: i1=2455121, i2=2455121
real :: s1=0.19123840, s2=0.20749992
real*8 :: a1, a2
a1=i1+s1; a2=i2+s2

[Code]....

When s1 and s2 are stated with 'real*8', the 64bit and 32bit systems get the same results.

I have a few systems (linux boxes and windows boxes) that are currently 32bit hardware systems with 32bit OS installed and running. These systems are HP desktops pc with intel pentium chipset, Dell desktop pc with AMD chipset, IBM xSeries servers with intel pentium chipset.

Mar 30, 2010

I'm trying to upgrade KDE from 4.2 to 4.3 since I encountered couples of problem with it and some people suggested me to upgrade it to 4.3.

Questions:
1. Is KDE 4.3 available in 64 bit?
2. KDE consists of bunch of packages, what is the best way to start? Should I uninstall the whole current packages in my machine and then install the new ones?
3. Using pkgtool, how do I know if I remove the whole KDE packages? Are all KDE packages named that begin with word "KDE"?
4. How to do this safely so to avoid corrupting the system?

Fedora :: Upgrading - System Not Allowing Users Login

Jan 30, 2011

I upgraded my Fedora Core distribution from 12 to 14. Everything worked fine, except for SQUID which refused to upgrade. I then went to rescue and installed SQUID using yum and then restarted the upgrade. It did finally upgrade the system and then asked for a reboot. Well, when I selected the new kernel option in the GRUB options, since I also have Winduhs, it gave a kernel panic. I tried booting into the older kernel and it worked. Now I see the users that are there in the system in the Graphical GUI login greeter screen. But none of the users get authenticated. I used the rescue option and removed graphical login and changed boot level to 3. I also enabled the root user. In the rescue mode, if I do a startx, everything works fine.

I logged off rebooted the system. When I login, I see the version is shown as Fedora Core 14, but the kernel was still the older one with Core 12. I again went to rescue and checked out GRUB and saw that it had no initrd for the new kernel. I created a initrd image with the mkinitrd command and then added it to grub. I again rebooted. This time it shows the correct kernel, but still the system does not allow any of the users to login. All the Logins fail. I have tried going to rescue and going to the system using 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' and doing a startx for Graphical. Everything works, but only with the Rescue mode in the DVD. The normal boot/login sequence does not work.

Incidentally when I do a 'yum distro-sync', I get something like this :

---> Package dialog.i686 0:1.1-9.20080819.fc12 set to be downgraded
---> Package dialog.i686 0:1.1-11.20100428.fc14 set to be erased
---> Package diffstat.i686 0:1.51-1.fc12 set to be downgraded
---> Package diffstat.i686 0:1.51-2.fc14 set to be erased
---> Package diffutils.i686 0:2.8.1-25.fc12 set to be downgraded
---> Package diffutils.i686 0:2.8.1-29.fc14 set to be erased

It still seems to believe its a Fedora Core 12 system. Another information is that when I leave rescue mode and do a normal boot without installation media, it starts doing some SELinux relabelling and reboots. Any pointers on how I can get the system working. I am able to work with the rescue mode way, with any user, as it does not ask for any password. I can even do startx and work on the GUI. All my data is also there. I just am unable to get the user authenticated using normal boot/login. I have tried using passwd -d username, but it gives an error :
passwd: libuser initialization error: could not open configuration file `/tmp/libuser.ElY0r9': No such file or directory
In fact, I am now in rescue mode only when I am writing and sending this.

My GRUB file is :
default=4
timeout=25
splashimage=(hd0,9)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

Fedora X86/64bit :: Firefox Hangs System

Jul 20, 2010

everything else seems well with my FC13-x86-64 except firefox (3.6.4 and earlier versions too) VERY frequently hangs the whole system. only the mouse still working, keyboard not responding to ctrl-alt-del, ctrl-alt-function or any other key and even num-lock won't turn the led on. system is still remotely accessible through ssh so I can issue a reboot. same thing may have occurred with thunderbird but only once or twice and probably firefox was also running then. no problems so far with google chrome (but I have no flash plugin for that). FC5-x86-32 on my old PC has never had any of these problems.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrading From Lucid 32bit To 64bit

Jul 21, 2010

I am going to upgrade from Lucid 32-bit to Lucid 64-bit, and I have some questions as to what I need to do. My system is a dual boot of XP and Lucid, but I only use XP rarely nowadays. I know I have to do a clean install, so here goes. Do I have to blow away my current install of Lucid? If the answer to (1) is yes, what about Grub? How do I get a list of my currently installed applications?

Currently Lucid is on one partition. I have a Clonezilla copy of the file system. Can I restore the /home directory from that copy once I have installed the 64-bit system? If I decide to make /home a separate partition, are there any good rules of thumb about how much space to allocate to the various partitions? Are there any other directories or files I should consider copying from the Clonezilla copy?
