Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Update On Laptop - Error "Can't Install 'xubuntu-desktop' It Was Impossible To Install A Required Package"

Oct 6, 2010

I downloaded the 6.06 version of xubuntu because i have a laptop that doesnt support high graphics mode, and i wasnt able to figure out how to get it to run in low graphics mode. i figured that i would get a version from a while back, and then update it up to the current version. now, to the problem. I was able to upgrade 6.10, but now it says Ubuntu version 8.04 available, so i tried to update it. it gets most of the way through the part where it says calculating or something like that, and then it says: "Can't install 'xubuntu-desktop' It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a bug." with an option that says close at the bottom. when i click close another window pops up that says: Could not calculate the upgrade A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by:

* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport. Then the window just closes... anything that i could do to get rid of this problem? EDIT: Is there any way to update directly from an .iso file on the desktop?

Ubuntu :: Copy Desktop Install To Laptop?

Apr 18, 2011

I'm building a website using Drupal on my desktop, and would like to have a copy I can put on my laptop as well.Is it possible to copy my desktop installation and put it on my laptop? Even if it is possible, is it likely to be easier than doing a fresh install of Drupal on the laptop and copying the themes, stories etc from desktop to laptop with a USB stick?

Ubuntu Installation :: Installing 10.04 LTS ONLY, BOTH On Desktop & Laptop?

Nov 10, 2010

Plan installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ONLY, BOTH on my desktop & laptop.1. How do I proceed........as to how many, types, sizes, file systems of partitions.......I think would need /boot, /root, /swap, /home (on a separate partition)?2. Size of HDD are 290 GB & 100 GB respectively.3. Once partitions are created & Ubuntu installed would like to create a full back up image just in case?4. If the Linus OS files get corrupted or need a reinstall is it possible to just install it in the /root with out changing/recreating other partition structures?5. Is Ubuntu version stable enough, any advantage of any other version or 64 bit vs 32 bit, since want to install once & have a peace of mind for some time......no Linux genius just a retired old MD.6. Suggestions as to what kind of security steps to be taken & what software to use to create a full back up & where to save the backup?

I burned a live dvdrw with the hybrid live cd of debian 8.1 gnome and installed Debian onto the 32gb usb stick like this

8gb for /
22 for /home
2gb for swap

after chrooting into the usb stick with the live dvd-rw and installing grub2 there again cause the installation couldn't do it without chrooting first.. I wasn't able to boot from the laptop I installed Debian with but I could on my Desktop PC.

I wondered if you needed a copy of my grub.conf? so here is the pastebinnet of /boot/grub/grug.conf

Ubuntu :: Battery Not Recognized On Laptop (and It Recognizes Laptop As A Desktop)

Apr 15, 2011

I have installed Ubuntu (both 10.10 and 11.04 pre-release) on my laptop but my battery is not recognized and it is detected as a desktop system rather than a laptop. I have tried the cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state method but the directory doesn't exist. I have tried another guide to paste the battery info into this directory but it doesn't allow me to do that and says that the directory doesn't exist, even though I'm trying to make it. I tried it in root nautilus and even on an install of Lubuntu (with a root file manager) but it still failed to budge. I really don't know what to do as I have tried all the guides on the internet that I could find.

Ubuntu Installation :: Server Install On Laptop Doesn't Install Pcmcia Support?

Jan 12, 2011

I am installing Ubuntu Server 10.10 on and old Dell Laptop. The network connection is an Xircom PCMCIA card.During install, the computer sees and interacts via the network just fine. For example, I can ping the gateway. Also, the command "lspcmcia" works and show the Xircom card.When I reboot, however, there is no network access, and the "lspcmcia" command is not there. When I try "lspcmcia" the OS helpfully tells me that I can "apt-get" pcmciautils, but, without network access, that fails.I tried adding the install cdrom to apt using "apt-cdrom" and then tried to "apt-get" pcmciautils and it got further, installing some dependencies, but acted like it still was unable to locate the pcmciautils package.

Ubuntu Installation :: Offline Ubuntu Desktop Online (occasionally) Laptop

Mar 29, 2011

So I am going to dual boot install my desktop at home with windows and ubuntu 10.10. This desktop does not have an Internet connection. However, I have a laptop (hp g61) that I plan on doing the same type of boot config to. So my question is... If I have driver problems or want programs for my desktop, can I get these with my laptop and then transfer to my desktop?. I know I can get some programs from a .dev file I've already got with a lot of various programs that will (I guess) automatically install. My real concern is drivers as I have heard that ati video cards tend to have some problems.

Fedora Installation :: Install F15 In A 32 Bit Laptop?

Aug 12, 2011

I am willing to install fedora 15 in a 32 bit laptop. My laptop has Getforce 9300M nvidia graphics card. I would like to know if there is any automatic way to install the graphics driver with fedora 15. If yes please provide me the information.

Why i am interested to know is that previously when i was using a earlier version of fedora11 i guess, people in the forum suggested me to download the driver from the nvidia site and install it. It was really painful to install the driver in that way.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Install 11.04 On Laptop

Jun 29, 2011

I have a HP Pavilion dv9000 that I had an older version of Ubuntu on. I wanted to install 11.04 which I have installed on my two desktop computer. The live CD work great and I wanted to install. I clicked on other to install in the hard drive where the old version was and every thing went well until I got to the page were it asked about (who you are) I put in my name and password and clicked on log in without password and then could not click on the forward button. It looked like everything loaded OK as it went and downloaded all the update files.

That was as far as I could go on the install. The CD was a 32 bit version but the computer is a 64 bit AMD. My desk top are AMD chip set also and it installed OK on them.

Ubuntu Installation :: Dell Laptop Won't Install W 10.04

Jul 12, 2010

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 desktop and burned the CD. I changed the boot order on my Dell Inspiron 8100 to search for CD first. On startup, I see it flash - ISO LINUX something ............ The light flashes on my CD drive for a minute or so. I see a little icon at bottom of screen with a stick figure of a man and something else for a few seconds, then I see a white cloud flash on the screen that reduces in size and disappears, after another minute or so of the drive light flashing everything stops and still a black screen. Then, I tried hitting escape key a couple of times and I heard a few seconds of jungle music. The drive light flashes again for a while but nothing else happens. It seems like it's almost there, but not making it all the way for some reason.

By the way, if it matters, my Dell hard drive is partitioned to C: and D: I thought it would run a little faster that way, but not really noticable. I have most everything on C: right now. I hope to install side by side as I have a couple of applications I need Windows for, but would like to use Ubuntu for everything else. More questions about that later, on getting it to boot from the CD?

Since posting the above earlier under Dell, I have been able to boot from a borrowed 9.04 disk okay. And, was able to boot another computer with the 10.04 disk that I burned. The disk is apparently good, so why doesn't 10.04 work and 9.04 does?

Ubuntu Installation :: Unable To Install On Laptop

Apr 30, 2011

I cant install ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop. I downloaded the ubuntu iso from its official site. I tried several ways to install it like :within windows, through usb, through burning the iso but neither of them worked. When i boot from usb or CD there's just a black screen after the choosing one of the options (i.e. try ubuntu,install ubuntu,etc) and nothing happens. So I had to shut it down by holding the switch after about 20 minutes. But it works on PC without a problem. I have installed it on my PC. If i install it within windows, it completes the installation and then whan I reboot it , it says completing remaining installation and the black screen appears.

Ubuntu Installation :: Laptop Won't Boot After Install

Jun 22, 2011

I've been running Ubuntu on my Acer 5100 laptop for about a year and a half. The latest version I had was 10.10 when my disk crashed and burned and had to be replaced. This was an external hard drive as my internal one died long ago and I'm too lazy to replace it. So things were fine until the crash. Bought a new hard drive today (same brand and model as the one the system was installed on before), downloaded 10.10 and installation goes fine. Then, in the end, I am told 'you need to reboot in order to use your new system'. So I say yes and the system ejects the CD-ROM and starts the shutdown process. Then it gets to doing something with the CD-ROM (/sr0) and it gets an IO error. Of course this is because the thing was ejected! So I get this loooong list of IO errors (all the same) on device sr0 and I have to manually reboot the system by the power button.

The system starts to come up, I see the BIOS hit the external drive, and nothing. It sits there with a blinking cursor at the top left of the screen and does nothing. Now, I've looked at a few things: 1: I've made sure the external drive is the first boot device. 2. I've made sure the disk was actually good and not damaged. 3. I've made sure the ISO I downloaded has the same hash as the one I got I've even tried the install on ANOTHER drive and the same thing happens! I know 10.10 can run on this system as it HAS in the past with no problems at all.

Ubuntu Installation :: Unable To Install 11.04 On Laptop?

Jul 5, 2011

I am trying to install 11.04 on an older Averatec laptop. (AMD Athlon XP-M 2200+, 512 MD DDR, 60 GB HD) I tried Live CD and alternative. They both freeze up during installation. Live CD is definitely good as I can open Ubuntu as a trial on another computer. Booting as a trial on the laptop also freezes up.

Tried boot parameters "nomodeset" and "acpi=off" without success. Reformated disk several times with dban which hasn't helped. Even tried xbuntu in case there wasn't enough memory. That froze up as well.

Fedora Installation :: Laptop Won't Boot After Install Failure

My laptop died while installing F12, without completing installation. Now I can not boot the computer from HD, CD, or USB. I have flashed the BIOS with the most recent ROM. I can access the BIOS setup and exhausted all my options there, which is mainly boot order. At the moment, the boot process goes to a blinking cursor and does not allow for input. The laptop in question is a lenovo Y510 that was previously running F10 with a single partition.
