General :: Ubuntu 10.10 Installation Disc Not Recognized By Apt-get Command?
Apr 1, 2011
I am trying to install the Broadcom wireless driver BCM4311 on my Acer Extensa 5420. I have consulted several help forums and tried several suggested ways of doing it. They all seem to require using b43-fwcutter, and my Ubuntu 10.10 installation always refuses to fetch it from the installation disk. The most straight-forward approach I have tried is as follows:
1. From the console, I type: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
2. The command works for a while, then responds by asking me put the disc labelled " Ubuntu 10.10_Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)" into the CD-ROM drive and press ENTER.
3. I insert the installation disc containing the installation program that I downloaded from the Ubuntu web site into the drive and press ENTER, but just get the same request again.
The file on the installation disc is named "Ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso", and the disk does not have a label. I have tried renaming the installation file with the intention of burning a new disc that would be recognized, but the name being requested is not a valid file name for Windows (so I can't do it on a Windows machine), and it also seems to be inappropriate for Ubuntu (it has spaces and may be too long). I also tried keeping the same file name and burning a disc with the requested label, but the burning software would not accept such a long label.
I can't get Kubuntu to install. I put the disk in the drive and the Kubuntu Menu is displayed. I selected the Demo and Full Installation option. This sent me to another menu that asked if I wanted to reboot now or later. I chose now but instead of rebooting it went back to the Kubuntu menu. I then went to the start menu and selected Restart. When the computer restarted it didn't recognize the Kubuntu disc. I'm running Windows 7 in a 64-bit machine.
I created a Video DVD using DeVeDe 3.16.8. I selected some .mkv files, created menus and the program created .iso files which I burned using the Burn Image selection in Brasero 2.30.2. The resultant DVD worked perfectly in my PC under Ubuntu as well as Windows XP. However, when I pop the disc in my standalone DVD player connected to my TV, the player gives a "NO DISC" error - no joy.
I have recently installed Lucid on an Acer Aspire 5570Z laptop. It has an Optiarc DVD RW AD-7530A DVD-RAM writer. I am having trouble in playing video/movies on DVD.
When I am inserting a movie DVD, the drive is working (i.e. is busy) continuously but the disc is not being recognized and mounted. Disc Utility is showing "No Media Detected".
The same DVD discs are playing OK in my desktop (running Hardy) and on another laptop (running Lucid).
However, that Audio and data CDs are playing/reading OK in the same drive. Even blank DVDs are being recognized and mounted OK.
I used the alias command to make ll be ll -lrt. I have linux 5 and using the bash shell. now I can't even use ll, only ls. when I go into the bin directory, ll is not in the list and the normal color codes for bash are not showing either...folders blue, etc
I've installed openMPI-1.4.1 on my laptop and I'm trying to compile some fortran code I've written using MPI. I downloaded the openMPI-1.4.1 file from the openMPI website and used the shell script they provide to install it. This is the shell script:
shell$ cd openmpi-1.4.1 shell$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local shell$ make all install
There was an additional line extracting the tar file, but I did this by hand. The first time I ran this script there was an error on the final stage saying that a directory couldn't be created because of lack of permission. I decided to run the script again this time as a sudo.
Having run the script again everything appeared to install properly, however when I went to compile some fairly simple code I got a message saying that the compiler couldn't find MPI. I was using this command: gfortran messages.f90 -o messages I looked on the openMPI website where it recommends compiling with a compiler called mpif. However when I type mpif messages.f90 -o messages I get an error message saying mpif isn't a recognized command......
I have AMD athlon 64 processor, Seagate 160GB SATA Hard Disk, ASUS A8VMX mother board.With this configuration, I can Install FC7 without any error. But all the latest releases after FC7 is not detecting my Hard disk. Is there any solution to solve this problem? Actually I'm searching for a solution when the FC8 released. Now I have all the later releases from FC8 to FC11 DVD except FC9. But none is working .
I am searching a GUI based "tree view utility" which shows me which directories consume how much hard disc space (cumulative, including recursively the sub directories; including hidden files). Is there such a tool fur Ubuntu/Linux and how do I install it? Is there at least a cmdline command which does the same job in terminal window?
When I use the command df -h on one of our debian linux machines I get back that I have 0 space left on /dev/md0/. I tried to find out where all 60G of space was being used but am unable to find it. Could this reading be wrong? Also, where could this space be being used?
I know i get the error code because i dont have my windows partition. But i seriously need my vista back. I tried using VMware player but it didn't work. Is there anyway i can restore my windows partition without the installation disc? The restore disc does not work as it needs a windows partition.
this blew my mind today, because i've been using ubuntu for 2 and half years. Brasero 2.28.2 in Karmic does not have an option enable multisessions when burning disc or import a disc which has a multisession.
Seriously, wtf is going on? This is supposed to be Ubuntu's default CD authoring software.
I'm trying to install files and everytime I manage to install from the first disc I succeed. When I get the the second disc I just keep clicking the "OK" button instead of "Cancel" and it keeps neglecting it.
I have just installed 11.3 x64. The installation went fine and worked for the first few hours. I ran the online update tool, and now it cannot find grub unless the installation disc is inserted and I select the "boot from hard disc" option.
I have read about the problem of the root partition being back, but not sure that's it.
sda1 - swap sda2 - / sda3 - /home
There used to be a repair tool in the installation disks. I could not find that in this media. Is that still available?
I'm sorry for this stupid question, but I have nowhere found it.I need to access to my USB disc from text mode (In Fedora LiveCD I see it and i can access /media/New Volume). In F12 runlevel 3 in mc I see it in /dev/disc/by-label as @Newx20Volume. But I don't know what is the correct path.
I xkill'ed my task bar - so now it's gone. I tried to run kicker from the konsole, but that command is not recognized. I have about a million applications running/open, so I really don't want to log out.
Ehlo command not recognizing while sending test mail to outside network from postfix. When I am trying to test a mail within the network it is successfully happening ehlo.
The cd starts up fine screen shows ubuntu logo and five dots then after it goes blank and screen goes to sleep. Also after install within windows i startup into ubuntu it then asks me which to boot into; windows 7, ubuntu, or ubuntu (debug mode or sumthing like the).
I'm a complete novice who installed ubuntu 10.10 this morning, which seemed like it worked great until I noticed that I had to connect to the wireless network manually each time I re-started etc. I did some research into this and found that if you disable the network manager via the terminal section by replacing certain lines with 'deny' instead of accept or something. I did this however the nm was unable to connect anymore! I've been tearing my hair out searching the net, and this forum for a solution but to no avail. Ive since removed network manager while trying one (of many) ways I found online, so need to install it once more. I even tried to install the whole os again from the disc that I did so with initially, but it doesn't work either!Ill be more than happy to connect every time I turn on if it means I can access the net once more!
Is it possible/easy to create my own install disc based on the install that I have now? I just got finished setting up ubuntu on a new computer and I want to make an install disc that has everything that I have set up ALREADY set up right after installation.
I've had some problems with my ubuntu lately (>.<) and would like to use my Windows 7 disc to install windows side by side with ubuntu (for compatibility reasons). The problem is, my computer won't boot the disc on startup, won't read it at all, and thus I can't install it. How can I make Ubuntu read the Windows 7 disc? All other discs work fine.
Its not just my disc- I've used this disc on other computers no problem, and my Ubuntu reads other discs without any problems.
I've tried to boot my Ubuntu 10.04 from my disc drive, and installing it in Windows like an app, but every time I do my screen looks like it went bad. The top two inches are the way it should be but the rest is white, and I can't see anything. Is there some setting on my comp I need to adjust or did I just get a bad disc? The disc doesn't have a scratch on it and I've cleaned twice now.
Hardware: Laptop 6735b from HP Source of problem: ATI graphic driver not installed Problem:
1. Freeze Operating system when power unplug (in Gnome)
2. Can not start any Operating system with full or just part of KDE (Kubuntu, Linux mint). Thus i have to stuck with pure Gnome like Ubuntu. ==> install Ubuntu ==> install ATI graphic driver ==> install KDE ==> swap to Kubuntu in Ubuntu.
I tried a lot of OS and none will work. I think the only way for me is create a install version of Kubuntu with ATI driver already build in so at least i can start my OS.
Thus could somebody feel free guide me in step by step to build a install disc for Kubuntu. All i need is add up in setup process ATI driver install.
I have downloaded imgburn, then downloaded ubundo from hippo site. somehow sonic was also downloaded. I did not know what choice to make when it came time to burn a cd....now I can't get back to those choices....I am trying to make a bootable cd to install in a sonic laptop without an operating system. If by downloading ubuntu on my c/drive have I changed my os in any way...I have a hp compaq desktop computer using windows os..I am on a network with my husband
After happily running a persistent install from a USB stick for a week I decided to delete my Windows install and replace with Ubuntu.
I did the install from the USB stick, selecting the option to use the whole drive.
When the install finished I was prompted to restart. I removed the USB stick and did so. The machine rebooted... and nothing. Just a flashing cursor top left of a black screen.
I've booted the USB stick version and looked at the hard drive. Stuff has been installed sure enough, but it will not boot.
Machine is Acer Aspire 5920 laptop. Running Ubuntu from USB stick has been smooth as silk with no issues.
I'm not technically minded, so I'm afraid that any assistance (for which I would be eternally grateful) may need to be n00b-style dumbed-down.
At the end of install I encountered a problem dealing with the disc reading too fast. Have any of you heard of or seen this before? Afterwards it wouldn't let me close it out of the install so I just did a hard shut down of my computer. What can I do to fix this?
I'm trying to boot into the Live CD on my Ubuntu installation disc. I changed the BIOS to boot from my disc drive, and I can hear it read the disc, but then my computer just boots into the Ubuntu installed on my hard drive. How can I boot the Live CD?
My friend just installed Ubuntu from cd on a computer without Internet connection. She hoped to be able to open some video and music files there, but it turns out there were no proprietary libs in the installer. And since the majority of the files were avi, mp3 and mp4, they couldn't be read.I am an experienced Linux user, but I have mainly dealt with Gentoo, plus I'm used to be able to download and install programs directly through a package manager. However since my friend's computer isn't connected we don't have that possibility.
how can I install proprietary libs (like for the formats mentioned) to this computer? Could they be available from the installation disc, and if so how do I get them? Can I transfer packages with a memory stick? (And is there some easy way to find all dependencies?) Or any other solution?I do have a 3G mobile modem dongle which perhaps we could use. However I have bad impressions of those and Linux. Will it work without a great deal of configuring (or extra software)? Otherwise, this method would mean an extra step.
