I use the ubuntu 9.10 karmic edition, and every time i use the update manager, i am prompted for the upgrade to the newer version of the ubuntu i.e 10.04.1,
is it advisable to do so ?
does grub change its contents after such upgrade ?
and what difference will it make to my present system?
I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 desktop version on my Lenovo L420 laptop. Now my friend told me that if I had installed laptop version on it then it would have recognized events related to laptop like closing down the laptop screen and all.
Q1. Is there any way by which I can upgrade it to laptop version?
A friend installed Ubuntu 8.4 for me. I tried to upgrade to the current new version but it will stop at one point and say," Failed to fetch compiz-plugins_0.8.4-0ubuntu15_i386.deb. Hash Sum mismatch" and stop. I can separately download that very same file but it won't do it by itself.
how do I get it to work? I am just a windows user trying to learn to get away from Windows. This has been bothering me for the past ten days and each attempt ends at the same point.
I want to upgrade my ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 or 11.04 but I afraid of doing that because last time that I did it upgraded successfully but after restarting, it went to blank screen and I forced to install a new UBUNTU. unfortunately there was no other previous version of UBUNTU in boot option.My question is how can I update or upgrade my UBUNTU to another one with keeping all of last versions data(kernel,modules,drivers,....)that if new version does not recognize some thing I have other choice to boot my system from ubuntu boot menu.
I want to upgrade my software to newer version. since i do not have a yum repository what should i do? should i just change the path to a new location of installed version if 'Yes'
I'm totally new to MySQL / PHPAdmin and have been dropped in at the deep end regarding getting MySQL and phpMyAdmin upgraded... When I look at the RPM's I see:
But when I go to the GUI I see: Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.5.7-pl1 MySQL 4.0.16-standard-log running on localhost as root@localhost So to start with I'm not totally sure what version I'm running! I need to get these upgrades done due to PCI requirements so they are saying to upgrade to at least 4.0.25 I'm currently running RedHat9 so ideally need to know the easiest way to upgrade to a later 4.0 or 4.1 version.
I am using Nagios 3.2.4 monitoring tool on a Linux box with Fedora 10 installed on it and Apache version is 2.2.10. I would like to upgrade my Fedora version from 10 to latest version Fedora 13.
I upgraded Ubuntu version 8 to version 9.10 and VMware dosen't work no more. After I launch WVware Workstation a message appears: "Before you can run VMware Workstation, several modules must be compiled and loaded into running kernel." I select install (yes), and after that it's giving me error: "Unable to build kernel module. See log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-30979.log for details."
Which LXDE version of Linux has the newest version of Firefox and Open Office included?
I am looking for an iso file, and I am trying to run this off of a live CD for now. So I want a light version of Linux, probably LXDE, or if not, then probably XFCE. But I need a new version of Firefox and OpenOffice included.
Because, I tried burning the customizable NimbleX @ custom.nimblex.net . Pretty good, except it uses Firefox 2, and Open Office 2.3, which are outdated.
And I tried Mint XFCE, which might have been pretty good too, but it had some issue of blanking and requiring relogin after I opened hotmail frequently (user id: mint, password: blank).
The web browser and the word processing program are the most important and essential applications to me.
So are there any Linux versions in LXDE on LiveCD that include newer versions of Firefox (or at least another good browser) and Open Office (oo seems better than abi)? (Again, if no LXDE, perhaps XFCE?)
I just want to download a good version in an iso file, and burn it to a CD and get to work. Like I said the web browser and the word processing program are all important.
So really, what iso/LiveCD versions are the fastest for running on an older system, and yet have the newest browser and word processor included?

I installed fwknop-server automatically using apt-get, however, got version is 2.0.0rc2, while I found that version 2.6 is available. How can I get it in the easiest way? I'm using debian wheezy 3.2.54-2. I tried apt-get update, upgrade and dist-upgrade, nothing worked.
I have read that some linux distributions will all be join into a single distribution called canterbury. How could we upgrade the linux suse when the this new version comes? with the zypper dup maybe?
Today, I was upgrading my desktop from Jaunty to Karmic (a little behind schedule, I know). All packages downloaded successfully, and then the computer began the process of applying all of the updates. During this period, at some point, it lost power. Now, of course, it won't boot.
Fortunately, I have a separate /home/ partition, and it was unmounted during the upgrade process. So, my personal data and settings are fine. But the OS is useless.
I'm guessing that I'm completely buggered here, and there is nothing that I can do except re-format the Ubuntu partition and clean install Karmic from an install disk.
