I installed Ubuntu a while ago when I didn't know the differences and because it says 33-bit was recommended. I have 6GBs of RAM and I can't use it all. Do I have to do a fresh reinstall or can I upgrade? If I have to do a fresh reinstall, is it possible to keep all of my settings by backing everything up? How do I find a free online backup program?
View 5 RepliesI keep getting the following msg as I try to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. This can be caused by:

If your system will not detect new upgrades to ubuntu 10.10, you should edit a file in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy story thus far:I have a working, fairly customized desktop environment running Ubuntu Studio 10.10.Yesterday, I literally wasted the entire day attempting to upgrade to, and then reverting from, Ubuntu Studio 11.04 (never forget to do a grub-install when restoring your system to a previous state from backups).I am not bashing 11.04! That is not the purpose of this thread,although I believe that Unity needs some maturity,and because of this I probably won't upgrade until the next LTS.
What I would like to know is this: Is there a way that I can get the various and sundry upgrade managers to stop telling me about the 11.04 upgrade availability? I'd really like to not see it�I feel somewhat like a Luddite every time I do.
I'm running 10.04 and for several days now I get two packages that are grayed out and do not upgrade in upgrade-manager.
If I use the shell and apt-get I get the following message: The following packages have been kept back: firefox-gnome-support update-manager
The system is functioning well, but these 2 packages just linger as I process probably hundreds of lucid upgraded packages.
How did it work out? What model machine are you using?
Just wanted to get some idea of stability/functionality.

The video on the system is an NVIDIA 6150SE. I know before this upgrade I was running the NVIDIA driver that was recommended once the initial install of 10.10 had completed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and 2.6.35-27-generic. When I run the Upgrade Manager, the 'Distribution Upgrade' window pops up and in bold letters reads 'Running partial upgrade'.
The next line reads '>Preparing to upgrade' and sits there. Mean while, the process begins to perform a great deal of constant hard drive activity. The window's horizontal activity bar reads 'Calculating the changes' at the bottom of the 'Distribution Upgrade' window.
Using Lubuntu 10.10. I uninstalled Apache Server (it was once installed). But the update manager is cites many new Apache updates that I need. But again Apache is not installed anymore. Synaptic says it's not installed. I have a checker for orphaned packages it says nothing about Apache. Why does the updater say this? Maybe there's a "residue" of Apache somewhere?

Other such bugs have been filed against "update-manager", but that's just the GUI calling some scripts which do the real work. so what do I do?What should I substitute for XYZ in
