I had Orca installed for absolutely no reason, and I decided to start it and try playing with the text to speech. It wasn't interesting and I closed it. Now that I've restarted the computer, in GNOME sound doesn't work for certain things (VLC, Firefox). I uninstalled Orca because it auto-started on log-in and the preferences would freeze when I tried to change them. I read about a problem in 9.10 where there is some file taht disabled pulseaudio, I don't see it and I am using 8.10 anyways. :/
EDIT: I've re-installed Orca and edited the preferences fine this time, but the sound still doesn't work for VLC and Firefox. Now I've completely uninstalled Orca from synaptic and it still doesn't work. The sound test works fine, though. I'm sure there is some configuration file Orca added something to, but I don't know how to find it.
Just installed latest Ubuntu (intrepid Ibex) on my DFI Ultra Infinity II system. It has onboard audio via a Realtek ACL650 chipset. Unfortunately, no sound. Have searched various forums, etc. and found recommendations to download the ALSA driver from realtek, but those posts are from ~2007 and the drivers are dated from back then as well. Nobody present-day seems to be suffering audio problems with this motherboard or chipset. I did install the 2007 realtek driver, but no change. What logs can I check?

I just upgraded from jaunty to intrepid. The upgrade tool went through everything without a hitch and when it finished it told me to restart my computer. When I did, ubuntu began to boot, got past the initial loading splash screen, but immediately after, before the login splash, the screen freezes with some strange graphics glitch and refuses to work from there. How can I fix this to any workable state, upgraded or not?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to get newer versions of software onto the Intepid Ibex release of Ubuntu? I have to stick to this version as later versions break my Video card support but Imuch prefer some of the newer versions of software. For example Amarok refuses to update to 2.0 and beyond. Is this merely a matter of changing repositories to later versions, or am I restricted by the version of X.org I am running?

i'm still on Intrepid (i know, i'm behind the times) and i've been poking around for simple-straightforward info on how to upgrade my VLC 0.9.4 to 1.x.....but everything i've found seems to assume one is already on Jaunty at least. even videolan.org has simple-straightforward info for upgrading VLC for all distros as far back as Hardy....except for Intrepid. and i'm half-tempted to just try following the steps given for those who are on Jaunty and just seeing what happens.....though i also can't help but think that it may be dangerous to do that. does it even matter at all which ubuntu version i'm on, and i'm worrying about it for nothing? xD

Applications appear to execute but GUI never seems to initialise. CPU remains around 90%. I'm using an eeepc 1000H running ubuntu intrepid 8.10 with adam's kernel 2.6.27-8-eeepc. Any ideas on how I can debug this? As I mentioned these applications worked fine in the past, I'm guessing an update broke them.

Is there a substitute for Intrepid repos? I'm not able to access a few servers and don't want to upgrade the OS on this box.
Code:
I still use Intrepid 8.10 on one of my older machines and have tried, but in vain, to install some rar compression software from the repos. It seems as if the specified repo for 8.10 is now end of life Would anyone know of where I could download a .deb file containing an older version of rar which would install correctly on by box ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dedicated server with Fasthosts. It's currently running Ubuntu Server 8.10 and I want to update it to 10.04.
The only issue I have so far is it runs Matrix Server Appliance 2.0-38
Does anyone know if this will be affected by the upgrade in a bad way?
I have had no luck finding a site for Matrix or any other information.
For the upgrade itself, I was hoping to run do-release-upgrade.
I know it's kind of my fault but I have this problem. I have two machines running Intrepid. I should have upgraded them in due time but what's done is done. Now I need to install some packages there but the Intrepid is no longer supported - Intrepid repositories are no longer available.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI decided to report what happened me lately so that someone more clever could find the hole in the latest ubuntu. So: I have a machine connected 24/7 on high speed network. i had karmic on it. i ran openssh and apache2 (without any mod, plain apache2) on it. In addition i ran firefox, ktorrent, and amule on it. Nothing else. The system didnt have any rule in iptables.
Recently chkrootkit signaled a SuckIT rootkit in the system. I was scared, i googled for it and i saw that on ubuntu this actually happened and it was a false positive. Ok, i kept going. Yesterday i nmapped myself and i found an open port around 64000 that i couldnt see with netstat -atpnl so i concluded i was actually infected and erased the drive and tried to install lucid alpha2 so, one day of lucid,
- with a firewall this time that let open only the port 22 and 80 from internet
- with only openssh as service (no apache2)
- ran firefox3.6 , ktorrent and amule , nothing else
chkrootkit didnt find anything
debsums reported
debsums: changed file /sbin/initctl (from upstart package)
i did an apt-get install --reinstall upstart and that file didnt warn anymore. So i concluded there must be some kind of vulnerability either in
a) firefox
b) ktorrent
c) amule
I wanted to know anyone's experience with the new deb package ncomputing released for Intrepid. I've used their products and fought my way through to make them work. I was able to get ncomputing to work for a short while with intrepid, but upon installing the video drivers (and rebooting) the l230 hasn't been able to connect to any other host. (With Intrepid running). I've updated the firmware but the box still refuses to connect, for awhile it would say TS error (....). The system log only showed,
Date SystemName ncltsd [6198]: ERROR: NULL == video
[18043]: ERROR: SrvCli.CreateSession () failed! (3211426, 1869984)
Any help I can get would be much appreciated. If I forgot anything of I apologize, as you probably noticed it's my first time using the forum and I have only been using Ubuntu for a little less than a year.
I would like to add Ubuntu 8.10 as a dual boot option to my Ubuntu 10.04 installation. It is not immediately obvious to me how to do so, because running the CD installation will presumably overwrite Grub2 with Grub (and might not successfully boot 10.04).
How do I install 8.10 without overwriting my Grub2, and then add 8.10 to the Grub2 menu?
In our company, we have one server with kernel, 2.6.18. because of our neads, we had to buy new hard disk,that slax live cd detects that as "Ibex Peak 2 port SATA IDE Controlle".Apparently this kernel does not support this device.Unfortunately according to our policy(definitely some dependency on company's softwares installed on this kernel) we can not upgrade our kernel.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had an old machine running Feisty.I followed the EOL guides and upgraded from 7.04 => 7.10 => 8.04 => 8.10 (intrepid).Now that I'm at intrepid, I want to use the update manager to upgrade to 9.04 (Jaunty). Whenever I launch update manager (System->Administration->Update Manager) everything looks fine until I choose "New distribution release '9.04' is available" and click the Upgrade button.
At this point, Update Manager complains and says "Could not find the release notes" "The server may be overloaded". I'm assuming this could be a faulty URL somewhere, but I wouldn't know where. My sources.list seems to work fine for regular intrepid updates, so not sure there would be anything there that could be the fault. Once I get this error, I can only click "close".
Extracting the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. Obviously, my general networking is fine (or I wouldn't be able to post this message)..and again, standard updates work fine.Any insight into what is causing this (or maybe how Update Manager works so that I might try a bit of debugging myself?

I'm using Wicd network manager, on Ubuntu Intrepid, on a Toshiba Satellite laptop.
I installed Wicd, and incorrectly tried to set Static IP information on my Linksys network.
I unchecked both the Static IP and Manual DNS entry boxes, but whenever I try to connect it still tries to use the incorrect Static IP settings.
I have removed and re-installed Wicd, and for some reason it maintains the incorrect settings! What can I do?
I just downloaded Ubuntu remix Netbook edition 10.10. during the installation i wasnt paying attention and I downloaded the 32 bit version... The thing is the Unity interface is not showing up, and perhaps its becuase of this 32 bit thing. Anyway I would like to install the 64 bit version, not . Ive read around that the best way is to uninstall everything from windows (its dual boot) and re install. The problem is I dont have a windows xp start up cd, so that wouldnt work, or would be complicated.
However somewhere I read I could install over it, and I would like your thoughts. First off how would that work?? Ive learned my lesson not to play with the OS... to how to delete Ubuntu, without a Windows xp CD. To make it harder I dont know anything of computers so yay!

Anyway after all I have decided to put Mandriva over Ubuntu - that was the original plan - but now I am facing problems with installing Mandriva.
1st. The oriiginal cd drive is not recognised by Ubuntu Therefore I am using an old drive which at least is working.
2nd I cannot run Mandriva dvd.
My questions:
How can I delete Ubuntu and replace it with Mandriva? If this is too difficult, I would switch back to Windows 7. At least in Windows I have a bit of experience. The windows 7 dvd it cannot be run also.
I've been trying to get Ubuntu on my computer for months now and after having googled no relevant cases which may help me I would like some help.
I am trying to install Ubuntu on my computer (which already has windows and I don't want to lose it yet)
I have already burnt 3 CDs yet the problem is the same each time, that's why I believe the problem does not come from the burning. I checked the md5sum and there was no problem.
However when I try to install Ubuntu (or sometimes during a live session) after partitionning my computer and selecting mounting points, having "format" checked on the concerned partitions, the installation goes halfway through the "copying files" process and my computer simply reboots. More precisely, in the middle of installation the screen is replaced with the loading page of Ubuntu (like when you start with the live CD) then my computer reboots, no questions asked (not even to remove the CD, it reboots with the CD in it... while during a manual shutdown it would open the tray and ask you to close it)
I'm using ubuntu 9.1 and I'm having trouble installing software. How can I enable Gdebi package installer to automatically install programs I download. Every time I click on whatever I want to install it doesn't work and when I right click it, it doesn't give me the option to use it.
