A bit daft, but here goes. I am running Beta2, with only a few minor problems. I am already using the Lucid repos.
Am I correcet in assuming that, I will auto goto the distu release, on Thurs?
Or should I, get the disk and upgrade normally?
How to upgrade to lucid beta2 from the command line. When I try 'sudo do-release-upgrade' I get this:

The first 2 don't apply as I'm on 9.10. I can't really remember if I have installed any unofficial software packages.
Upgraded to Lucid Beta2 on my 1000HE eee pc. Now unable to connect to wifi. Wifi searches, then decides it needs password. I enter the proper password and it searches again, but never connects. Here's the strange thing: Using latest 2.6.32.21-generic kernel, wifi will not connect. But, when I boot with 2.6.31.20-generic, wifi works fine.

So on my server box, I don't want to be without a firewall.
how do I do the upgrade from a command line? or come to that the gui. but I want lucid.
How did it work out? What model machine are you using?
Just wanted to get some idea of stability/functionality.
I am wondering wheter the system will upgrade itself to stable when stable version comes out (in 14days) from 10.04 LTS Beta2, if I install it now? Or will I have to reinstall kubuntu then?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have installed the ubuntu 10.04 beta 2. I have notice that it has high temperature. I have try the "top" in terminal. There are no high usage of CPU and Memory. but still get high temperature. same in karmic 9.1. I have been using this ubuntu 10.04 beta2 fresh install just today. I did not do anything or install anything. It gets hot easily after few minutes. It was installed properly and no problem.
2nd problem is I try to reboot then i see the wifi signal and it detects my wifi and also my accesspoint. so I try to connect. I was connected to my accesspoint. My accesspoint is near my side. then I click firefox to test the connection. but no luck. cannot display page. maybe the internet was block even i was connected to my accesspoint. I try to check the signal then I saw (88%).
Today I just tried a liveCD of lucid beta2. Unfortunately,just like with alpha5, all I got was a black screen, and nothing else. I tried to switch to terminal with crtl-alt-F1,F2... but it seems to be disabled (why?) I am running 9.10 on a Samsung r20 notebook, with an ATI-Radeon Xpress 1250. Since 10.4 is about to be released, and I really want to upgrade.
View 5 Replies View RelatedToday I've installed Debian Squeeze Beta2. During the net-installation everything was fine. After the installation my login screen is too slow: booting up the the login graphics may take several minutes and when it is done, the keyboard is delayed or not responsive. When I switch to tty, before the activation of the cursor (that is, before I can type anything at the login prompt because the keyboard does not respond), appears this message.
[drm] nouveau 0000:05:00.0 GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon
Then I can login into the terminal. LSPCI say that 05:00 is the graphics card, an INVIDIA GeForce 8800 gtx that worked on Debian Lenny.
Anyone installed natty beta 2 from USB? Fails with errno 5 (io error) on me but ubuntu beta 2 worked fine with the same HD partition?
View 6 Replies View RelatedTried to install 10.4 Beta2 on my testing machine. Boots but then splash screen starts scrolling really fast though I can notice that 5 dots are moving so no hanging. It takes quite a while and then black screen appears (also scrolling) and I cannot read what's there; last line looks like a prompt. Alt-Ctrl-Del reboots the machine. So I cannot even enter Live mode.
This machine is about 7-8 y.o. P4 2.4GHz (i686) on Asus P4S333/c, 2.5GB ram, GeForce3-Ti200, latest bios 2003 but runs any Linux (I tried) and FreeBSD 9-CURRENT perfectly (Even win7 is installable...but runs badly). On newer machine same CD works fine. The machine is AthlonX2 2.3GHz on Asus M3N78-vm, 4GB ram, onboard chip GeForce8200, HDDs, DVD-RW - all SATA (AHCI). What could be wrong with my old machine? Does Ubuntu still support 96xx Nvidia driver?
I upgraded to Lucid from Karmic.Im now using gnome but would like to get back to KDE. Sadly it seems that even with kdm and plasma-desktop packages installed, I run into a problem at login.If I choose from the downwards facing arrow on the botttom left of the screen, and pick "KDE".Then when I log in, it shows the first icon (a hard disk), goes black and plunks me back on the login screen.This is a Karmic>Lucid upgrade process and I wonder if something got borked in the process.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOnce again, after upgrade - NO SOUND. Read all the various forum attempts at getting sound working. Tried them. Still doesn't work. Has been an ongoing problem after each release. Pulseausdio has been removed but still seems to be there somehow, as in, when running alsamixer, the following is output:
alsamixer
ALSA lib pulse.c:229pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused
cannot open mixer: Connection refused
or, aplay -l, produces:
aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...
so, I guess that's the problem. But how do you get it to recognise the card? The only thing that has been done since upgrading was to remove pulseaudio which wasn't part of the prior install in anycase but somehow injected itself during the upgrade.

I'm currently upgrading my laptop, and it has completed the step "Getting new packages", and is now onto "Installing the upgrades".It says it is going to take another 2.5 hours, but I am leaving work soon and want to take the laptop with me. Is it safe to disconnect it from the internet at this point? I don't want to fudge up the install, but I don't want to have to leave my laptop at work all weekend (or have to come back and pick it up at some point).
View 3 Replies View RelatedPerfectly working 9.10 just upgrade to 10.04, and now CUPS won't play ball. Any time I try to add a printer with the inbuilt Printer admin utility I get the message:
There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-internal-error'
If I try and add the printer using http://localhost:631 - any operation gives me:
631 - Request Entity Too Large
My previously installed printer has been removed automagically. Boo. So far I have:
aptitude purge cups
aptitude install cups
Which has made absolutely no difference.
Just upgraded to Lucid from Karmic, but I've got two problems:
1: After install I restarted, but it just showed the boot loader for 1 second and then black screen!
I then thought I would just reinstall Ubuntu so I used the Live CD to access the folders on the computer to get a backup.
2: But some of the folders in the Documents folder has got a white cross over it and when I try to open them I get the message: "The folder contents could not be displayed."
What I want is just to get the files (some of them is a bit important) and make a quick reinstall so if somebody knows a way to open the folders and make a backup it would be GREAT.
I was put somewhat in charge of a server last semester running Ubuntu. It serves as a router and general purpose computer for a robotics lab. Yesterday, I went do dist-upgrade using the command line, and ran into a couple of bugs with gtk libraries which I fixed based on the bug reports. However, the computer decided to reboot for some reason in the middle of the upgrade and killed the running OS. I currently have it up on a Debian recovery CD. I can't get past intramfs without the CD. It is dying somewhere in rsyslog with an error about a broken pipe. I am not sure where to go from here. I will post actual error messages when I get back infront of the machine. No one knows how the machine was set up in the first place and it holds a few secrets we need to keep, so reinstall is the last option.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to Lucid yesterday. All of them solved, except this one: when I connect to my kubuntu PC from a Windows PC and launch x11vnc on the remote and TightVNC on the local, it keeps repainting the window making it unusable. Nothing gets printed to the log when the repaintings occur. Using -noxdamage or -nowf doesn't change a thing. -ncache doesn't work (I get an "ERROR: No active KDE sessions!").
View 6 Replies View RelatedI upgraded successfully last night from Hardy Heron to Lucid Lynx, but have no sound now. After searching around I can see that this is a fairly common problem. But none of the proposed solutions that work for other people have yet worked for me.
If I type 'alsamixer' at the command line, everything looks fine. There are no 'MM's indicating something being muted. I tried removing and reinstalling alsamixer and pulseaudio with no success. Edited lines 45 and 46 of /etc/pulse/default.pa with no luck.
I have a dual boot system with Win XP and Ubuntu (using grub boot menu). I recently upgraded my Ubuntu from 9.04 (Jaunty) to 10.04 (Lucid) and now I cannot boot into Ubuntu - I just get a desktop with no icons or disk activity. I think this may have something to do with the fact that I answered 'no' when asked whether to replace my menu.1st file, and possibly some others. So my boot menu still refers to 9.04.

I tried the 10.04 livecd and it doesnt boot eiter, it stops in busybox prompt with error: "Could not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow" or something like that. Before 9.10 was functioning perfectly.

After upgrading my wife's machine from Karmic to Lucid 64bit, USB drives will not automount and do not show in Nautilus. If I lsusb the drive is shown. I have tried several things - installing hal, removing the legacy floppy in the BIOS, sudo modprobe -r floppy and rebooting but nothing works.
I have tried with several flash drives, all work and automount on my computer (a clean install of Lucid) but none will work on the upgraded machine.
I upgraded to Lucid a week or two ago. Sound has worked fine, then suddenly, yesterday, I have no sound for any application. The Gnome sound applet shows the volume normally, and have the Mute All option greyed out (not selectable). Nothing stands out as wrong or unusual under sound preferences, and I didn't change anything, although I did recently install a set of updates. There is no physical mute button on this laptop. IT is not account-specific, there are no sound effects even before you log in.
As well, since the upgrade I have intermittently not had the networking icon in the notification area appear, it is covered over by a fragment of some other graphic. It is most usable with the Human these, it is completely unusable with any of the new themes. Anyone know a fix for either of these two issues, especially the first?
Finding Lucid extremely flaky, particularly the signature themes. I like some aspects of it, such as the fact the wireless button on my laptop works now, but overall, not an impressive effort - someone whose first introduction to Ubuntu is Lucid and sees that the notification area doesn't even work correctly is not likely to stick around.
I've just installed Kubuntu 9.10 on a friends powerbook g4 and it's running wonderfully. I don't want to upgrade to Lucid, I tried it and it ran not so good on this computer. How can I tell it to stop offering to upgrade to the next release? (I only want the automatic upgrade notification to appear for normal upgrades and not include Lucid, or have Lucid option to appear at all).
View 8 Replies View RelatedI upgraded a couple weeks ago and now my monitor doesn't go to sleep like it used to.
The settings in powermanagment show that it should go to sleep after 10 minutes.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
I usually run the default gnome session but also installed kde and enjoy popping over every now and then.
Now, after the lucid upgrade, things are not happy. There is just a black screen after the login.
My cairo dock comes up, but no other panels.
The only other thing I see is TokBox.
Not a pretty sight at all.
