General :: Unable To Install New Versions Of System On My PC / Enable This?
Mar 23, 2010I have an MSI-RC410 motherboard with onboard ATI Radeon XPress 200 series Graphics card.
I have used OpenSuse-11.0 on my PC for over an year. but when I tried to upgrade to OpenSuse-11.1, I managed to install it only to find that several features were missing. for example /dev/cdrom was missing.
Also install DVD of Fedora 11 did not work.
I have also tried Ubuntu-9.10 live cd. When I boot from the CD i get the initramfs command prompt. Still able to install old versions of these OSs.
What is the reason for this behavior?
Does it have to do anything with the new version of the linux kernel not being compatible with my hardware?
What should i do to install new versions of Linux?

General :: Install A Software That Requires A Specific Versions Of Several Packages?
Apr 12, 2011I am trying to install a piece of software that requires a specific versions of several packages. I am using Scientific Linux 5.5 and yum for managing the apps.The problem is that I need, for example ruby >= 1.8.7, but the package for ruby that is the official repositories for SL 5.5 is 1.8.5 and therefore yum says it's up to date.
There are other repositories for SL 6.0 that have ruby-1.8.7. Initially I ignored the fact that they are not for 5.5 and tried to install it manually with rpm. But there was an increasing number of data dependencies for the packages so I gave up. What can I do to avoid this? I suppose installing packages for newer OS version should be ok and they will be compatible with other older libs. But do you really install packages in this manner?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Difference Between LTS Versions And Other Versions?
Jun 30, 2011I'm not to clear on the difference between LTS versions and other versions, but think I may want to go with LTS. Can someone tell me if my thinking is correct given the following situation: I have some very cool, but very expensive software installed with a group license from my school, a school which I am not going to be attending for too much longer. So I want to go as long as possible without reinstalling Ubuntu, because once the product is licensed it will be licensed until I reinstall Ubuntu (or I uninstall the program). So I think this is going to require me keep the Ubuntu version I install as long as possible.
So in this case, should I go with 10.04LTS or should I just install Natty Narwhal and keep that as long as possible? It looks like 10.04LTS will be "supported" longer, but I'm not exactly clear on all that "supported" entails. Presumable it means security and software updates will be available for 10.04LTS for much longer than 11.x versions? So I'm thinking I should go with 10.04LTS
Is my thinking correct in going with 10.04LTS? Edit: It was pointed out that this would be against my contractual agreements. Which I suppose is probably true.

Fedora :: Prompt End User To Install New Versions?
May 30, 2011Does Fedora Now Prompt End Users To Install New Versions? If so, what a terrible idea and how do I disable it? So, I get a late night call from one of the people I support with their PC. You know, the basic PC user who barely knows enough to be dangerous. I'm sure we all have friends like this, who we help out and keep Linux running for them. Anyway, he says Fedora prompted him to upgrade to Fedora 15 (from 13) and of course, he says OK. He usually says OK when fedora asks to update his software.
Now things are hosed, he can't get on-line and worst of all, he's running F15 with Gnome3 and can't find his way around or do the things he's used to doing. Why on earth would fedora prompt to upgrade to a new version via the net? (..btw - he said it took forever.. ) I'm sure this exact scenario will be played out 1000s of times and peeps like me will be wasting lots of time straightening things out after the fact. Seems to me Fedora should not prompt for full version upgrades. It's trouble waiting to happen and that kind of thing should be user initiated by someone who actually knows what they are doing, so as to avoid the scenario that just played out with me.
OpenSUSE Install :: Repo With Only (symlinks To) New Versions?
Aug 13, 2010that's it! I got OpenSuse 11.2 and the size of the Repo has exceeded the 4 GB limit. This means that the mirror doesn't fit on my USB-stick anymore, nor would it fit on aDVD-RAM/RW (thus I can't distribute the updates anymore). Yes, there are bigger USB-sticks and BR-RWs, but in the end it is pure insanity!

Fedora :: Install Multiple Versions Of Package?
Sep 29, 2010I do quite a bit of testing of a FOSS package, which I install from rpm. At any one time there may be 3 versions ( current release, new release candidate, and snapshot of trunk) that I wish to test. If I stick to normal naming conventions (i.e. current release fred-2010.0...rpm, release candidate fred-2010.2...rpm, and trunk fred-2010.3...rpm) it seems to me that I can only have one version installed at any one time. Is there a 'proper' way of managing this (using the package manager), so that I can have multiple versions installed at any one time?

OpenSUSE Install :: Error In 11.2 Via NFS - Earlier Versions Work OK
Dec 2, 2009I'm having trouble installing the latest openSuSE 11.2 32bit using NFS. The issue appears during the text-interface, before switching to the GUI. The first strange thing I noticed after mounting the ISO is the change in User/Group-IDs. Earlier versions don't do this:
Code:
# mount ./openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso /images/suse11.2 -o loop
# ls -lah /images
dr-xr-xr-x 7 root root 6.0K Dec 1 2006 suse10.2/
dr-xr-xr-x 8 root root 6.0K Jun 10 2008 suse11/
drwxr-xr-x 8 98 98 6.0K Nov 6 16:21 suse11.2/
drwxr-xr-x 8 98 98 6.0K Nov 6 14:14 suse11.2_x64/
When starting the installation process on the client system I get a "No repository found" message. Checking the error console (Alt+F4) shows:
Code:
SQUASHFS error: Minor/Major mismatch, trying to mount a newer 4.0 filesystem
SQUASHFS error: Please update your kernel
Older Versions (11.0, 11.1) are working OK. This error is suspicious since it remains after deactivating the NFSv4 in /etc/sysconfig/nfs and commenting out the NFSv4 export lines in /etc/exports.
Here's my /etc/exports:
Code:
/images/suse11 *(ro,root_squash,async,subtree_check)
/images/suse11_x64 *(ro,root_squash,async,subtree_check)

OpenSUSE Install :: Yast Does Not Show Newer Versions
Jan 22, 2010I just installed openSuse 11.2. I added extra repo's like packman and Mozilla. I gave them priority level 80. The normal openSuse repo's have priority level 99.Still, Yast does not show newer versions from Packman or Mozilla.Yast completely ignores the prioritylevels of the repo's.The only time Yast shows packages from other repo's, is when they are not in the default repo's, like XMMS,w32codec-all, etc.So the repo's are added in the right way,but something strange happens in software management.
When I search for firefox, it shows the old version 3.5.6-1.1.1.When I click on the tab versions, I see that version 3.6.0-1.2 is there from openSuse buildservice.Why is Yast not showing the higher version (available) in the mainscreen?When I select it manually, Yast complains about dependancies because it is not aware of newer versions of mozilla xulrunner.
Ubuntu Installation :: Use Spare Partition To Install New Versions?
Dec 27, 2010I would like to know if I can use spare partition to install new versions of Ubuntu ("use" as the CD drive, or USB stick; not as the destination of the installation).I have Ubuntu on my computer, and unused partitions on the hard disk. I would like to upgrade to ubuntu, but without needing to burn another cd or an (sufficiently) empty usb stick to do it.
I imagine that this is possible, as the partitions may be booted from, and the contents of the iso image are understandable by the installed Ubuntu. But I don't know how to do it - put the iso contents on a partition and boot from it to install a new Ubuntu.

Jul 17, 2011I upgraded my Ubuntu server install to 11.04 and could not connect to anything outside of it. Its a weird issue because if I run a ping against it as its booting up for about 20 seconds or so I get responses, then it says unreachable. (This is a wired connection by the way). If i login fast enough on the server itself I can ping google for instance and get a response, then it just stops and says host unreachable from that point on.
I then decided to setup a fresh install on the system (virtual server) and I get the same issue. All throughout the install it connected fine, just up until it fully restarts. Its like some service starts that just kills the connection. I rolled back to 10.10 on my other instance and it can connect fine.. Ive been trying everything I can find on the forums but I am pretty stumped by this,

Debian Installation :: Etch Install Just Started Warning About Untrusted Versions
Mar 17, 2010I'm doing a fully automated install of Etch, installing the standard system task. I'm using PXE boot with a preseed file.
I do this a lot, and I've not had problems before. This morning, it's stuck at 5% on "Select and install software" saying "Please wait...". The log on console #4 says:
WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed!
[snip]
Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway?
I installed a system yesterday without any problems, so I wonder if there's a recent problem with the mirrors I'm using. My /target/etc/apt/sources.list contains:
deb [url]
deb [url]
So it looks like either the UK mirror or security.debian.org.
OpenSUSE Install :: Dual-booting Ubuntu - Versions Of Grub Overwriting ?
Dec 9, 2009I'm wondering how I would go about dual-booting Ubuntu with openSUSE installed first?

Would it work okay if I just shrink my openSUSE partition and then set the Ubuntu installer to install Ubuntu to the free space only or do I need to edit the grub file and stuff?

General :: Different Versions Of Libdc1394?
Oct 15, 2010I'm working on a project that uses libdc1394 to interface with Point-Grey Firewire cameras. We build the code on Ubuntu 8, Timesys, and Ubuntu 9 primarily. We usually use the package manager for most dependencies on the Ubuntu's, and the Timesys installation seems to be compiled from source.
Now here's the part that confuses me. I can't figure out what version of libdc1394 is on the Timesys installation. Looking at the library files, I can find a file named libdc1394.so.20.0.0. But these are the header files that I have:
dc1394_control.h dc1394_register.h dc1394_vendor_avt.h
dc1394_conversions.h dc1394_utils.h
They're in a folder named dc1394. From what I see on the Ubuntu 8 package (which is libdc1394 version
1), I only see dc1394_control.h. And it's in a libdc1394 folder.
From what I see on the Ubuntu 9 computer, which uses libdc1394 version 2.2 (that's the version in the repository), I have a dc1394 folder and then an include directory that looks like the copy I find here:[URL]..
I can't find anything about a major change between version 2.0 and 2.2. From the sourceforge page, it looks like the 2.0 version is similar to the Ubuntu 9 version. it seems I have 3 different versions of the library? I understand why Ubuntu 8 and Ubuntu 9, but not why the copy that we have installed on Timesys is different.
Once again, I'm decently sure the one on Timesys was compiled from source. I wasn't around when they did that though, so I don't know for certain.

View 3 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: What Versions Of G++ And Gcc Come Standard With RHEL 5.3
Feb 23, 2011I ran into an issue that was written up here on LQ and/or on other sites, the one dealing with an error similar to the following one: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directoryThe solution seems is to make g++ and gcc versions consistent. I've since remedied that, but am slightly confused with my findings and concerned with my solution.
When I first looked in /usr/bin for all references to g++ and gcc, I saw that there were two version of gcc and one version of g++:
(Note the "??? ?? ????" as date for gcc. I've since made some changes, but this was essentially the set of gcc and g++ files that existed before I started.)
I'm told that the system I'm using is an "out of the box" installation, i.e. no modifications. As installed, gcc is the newer version and does not correspond to g++34:
Confusion and concern: When I use makefiles from software I've adopted, I run into the cc1plus problem eluded to above. The cc1plus error occurred because the makefiles expected there to be a command named "g++," so I created a symbolic link, pointing /usr/bin/g++ -> /usr/bin/g++34. And in doing so, g++ was not consistent with gcc. I've since fixed that, i.e. copied the gcc34 version to gcc and my software builds fine.
My question are:
1. Will copying the gcc34 version to gcc cause issues in the future, possibly related to upgrades and/or istallations of other packages that rely on "gcc"? Currently the files are as follows:
2. Were the g++ and gcc files in /usr/bin the "out of the box" versions?
3. How can I answer a question like this in the future, without posting to LQ, i.e. is there a reference to find this type of information?
