I am running Maverick on my daily box, and am having a few teathing problems with samba. Like it won't start, and I now have to shut down firestarter. Apart from that it works.
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.
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 did it work out? What model machine are you using?
Just wanted to get some idea of stability/functionality.
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).

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.
I cannot get mysql to start since updating to Lucid. It seems to be utterly silent, no log entries anywhere I can see or anything.
I've tried reinstalling the ubuntu install to no avail.
Here's the /etc/mysql/my.cnf:
(default from upgrade I suspect) this is also the debian.cnf
Code:

I'm just getting utterly nothing in any log.

but there isn't! top/ps show nothing at all
root@linuxbox:/etc/mysql# sudo restart mysql (or stopping) just sit there, hung on something.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running ubuntu Lucid Lynx on an asus K50IJ series laptop. I'd had jaunty before and made a fresh install of lucid. My CD drive had been fine in jaunty, but doesn't mount any more in lucid. I have found numerous threads with promising-looking titles, but they either do not match my problem or their solutions don't work for me.
This is my situation: The disc will turn for a bit after inserting, then stop. During that, the little light on the drive will flash a few times, then wink out. So I guess the power supply's fine.

I can't upgrade from Karmic to Lucid,If I try to use the update manager I get a message that says "Can't download release notes. Check your Internet connection". I've tried changing the repository and I get the same message, but I can log in to the Internet, and download and install any program from the repository. I also get regular updates for Karmic so the repository is fine.I tried the command line
Code:
~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I searched through a lot of threads on whether its safe to upgrade from a working Karmic install to Lucid via the upgrade manager. I found a few threads from around 1 month ago where some said it worked, others said they had problems with grub etc.
Does anyone know the current status of this? I would like to upgrade to Lucid but I don't know if its safe. Would it be better to use an install CD instead of the upgrade manager? Do I need to manually install grub rather than let the install program do it? (I think the upgrade manager doesn't give an option it just installs grub after the upgrade)
I wonder if others have upgraded their Lucid kernel using the deb [URL]..repository. I have been using the repository for some time now without any apparent problems, and have gone from 2.6.36-1, through 2.6.37-10, and am now on 2.6.37-12.
All of these seem to work with no problems at all, but I am just wondering if other users can also report success, or if there are any trip-ups that might occur. I still keep updating the "standard" kernel from the main repos, ie 2.6.32-27, so I have that as a backup, but I'm just very curious about other people's findings.
I read recently about security flaws in the ubuntu kernel, and when I checked my kernel, it is 2.6.32-29-generic. I looked in synaptic, and I have the linux-generic meta-package - which should ensure upgrade to the latest kernel, and yet this is not being updated when I run update manager. There is a linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic, but the advice is not to install this directly (to avoid breaking dependencies, etc.), but to install the meta-package instead. Yet, the meta-package doesn't seem to be doing what is should do.
