OpenSUSE Install :: How To Downgrade To 11.2 From 11.3
Jul 25, 2010
11.3 has broken my Samsung mfp color laser. According to an Ubuntu forum, the problem is that the Samsung driver is incompatible with glibc 2.11. Since just about everything seems to be dependent on glibc, the only way I can envision fixing my problem is going back to 11.2 and waiting until someone comes up with a fix to the Samsung driver problem. Other than doing a clean install of 11.2, is there a simple way to downgrade back to 11.2, or at least the parts of it dependent on glibc?
Since I was able to use the update option to move from 11.2 to 11.3, can I insert the 11.2 DVD and choose update? Or, perhaps, is there a particular set of 11.2 repositories that I can add to my 11.3 repositories, choose the 2.10 version of glibc and have the dependencies work out properly? I tried adding the download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/ repository, but Yast seemed to want to change my whole KDE installation from x86_64 to i586. Is there a group of other repositories that would make the repository route work?
this is the first time I write! I am on OpenSuSE 11.3. I am using a very bugged code written by some scientists and I need it working, otherwise someone will kill me soon It was working few days ago and now it doesn't. I guess this is due to some automatic update of something that I accepted without caring too much. Python for example, or the Kernel, I have no idea so far. Now, before trying to understand what went wrong I need to know what I changed. My question is: how can I access my recent history of updates (I usually use Yast for updating)?
I was about to reinstall the opensuse 11.1 since 11.2 was giving me trouble and ran the 'check installation media' and it turned out every disc I burn gives me 'Error Reading Sector 1891680'. This CD-ROM is broken. Looks like there is a problem with installation. I already burned like 5 different DVDs.
I'm using openSUSE 11.3 and yesterday I upgraded to KDE 4.5 from the KDE 4.5 stable repo. But after upgrading I faced some freeze/lock-up glitches which weren't there before. For example whenever I change the color scheme or style and press apply, the screen freezes although the mouse still moves around. I have to forcefully shut down to recover. So, I am thinking of downgrading to KDE 4.4. How do I go about doing that?
Here are the repos I'm currently using:
Code: # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh ---+---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+---------+-------- 1 | KDE:45 | KDE:45
I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place, if not im sorry. I want to downgrade the kernel to 2.6.32 or a little older. I see the if I add the 11.2 repo I can install 2.6.31. Will that work though? Id rather not tank my system. I need to the older kernel for better support in a app I regularly use.
I was upgraded to Adobe Flash 10.2 automatically via the updater. But it's been VERY, very buggy whereas 10.1 (or whatever came before it) was very stable. How do I switch back?
I am trying to install ns-allinone-2.26 & nrlsensorsim. But it gets failed. When i explorer the problem, i found that only gcc problem in fedora 10. So i tried installing gcc-3.0.1.tar.gz but it gets failed during "make". So please guide me to overcome this problem. give me steps either to downgrade or to install alternate gcc version (gcc-3.0.1 or gcc-everything-2.95.tar.gz)
I'm running OpenSuse 11.2 KDE 3 Initially FireFox was absolutely fine, But recently It became utterly slow. I searched plenty of forums and tweaked the about:config and played around with ipv6. Some threads suggested downgrading some x-video thingy coz of an update sadly I haven't got a clue how to downgrade, in addition all these threads were talking about rather old OpenSuse versions. I installed the newest Nvidia driver as some suggested it might have to do with the desktop effects, actually I just turned them off (literally just this moment) and FF ran utterly quick, hmm I would like to keep em though. Does this mean i need to downgrade that xorg-X11-driver-video thingy? I don't seem to have a downgrade option I can only update delete and so on...When clicking on versions it doesn't show any of the 7.3 only 7.4s. I kind of depend on some firefox plug-ins which is why I would rather not use another browser..
I have installed Ubuntu 10.10. Works good, but I would like to switch LTS-release-cycle. I can't burn CD, so I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 without cd or pendrive. I tried to install Ubuntu 10.04, using Ubuntu alternate cd and grub loader: [url] but it doesn't work (bugs in kernel modules) Is it possible to downgrade Ubuntu 10.10 to 10.04 without burning cd? Can i create new partition and house the installation disk?
I recently installed updates for my laptop (its very old) and upgraded it form Ubuntu 8.04 to 9.10. This has caused a major decrease in permormance and I was wondering if there is any way of removing these upgrades.
I am having problems with 9.10 (first and foremost it won't boot properly, opens in low graphics mode only) and wishing I'd stuck with 9.04! Only find threads that didn't get answered or closed threads (including one about 'partial upgrades', which I did after booting in low graphics mode the first time. I am new to, or at least pretty green about Ubuntu and pretty much always install any updates offered - don't shoot me) Anyhow, I am hoping to avoid a full re-installation, but is there any way of going back, downgrading to 9.04?
I have used the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 for a while and am satisfied with it. The problem is when I watch video (Bloomberg) and listen to radio at the same time, it uses up a lot of memory (My PC has 3 GB of Ram). It degrades the performance of the PC. I also read that the only reason to use a 64 bit version is when a PC has 4 GB of Ram. Therefore, I wonder if it is possible to downgrade my current 64 bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 to a 32 bit version.
Last night I upgraded to Natty 11.04 and did not like it. I downgraded to 10.10. I'm having a problem booting to a stable kernel. 11.04 uses 2.6.38. When I downgraded to 10.10, 2.6.38 was still at the top of Grub's list. When I boot there is a big black screen with a login and password. I was able to get to Ubuntu by holding down the shift key when rebooting and booted to 2.6.35-25-generic. I would rather not have to do this every time I turn on my computer. I went to Synaptic to delete 2.6.38, and did not see the version listed. I've read a lot (but I'm not a programmer). There isn't anything obvious (from this pea brain's perspective) to fix my problem.
I'm a CentOS 5.3 user at work. We need to run an application which needs CentOS 5.2 and it's technical support doesn't have a solution but change the version of the OS. Does anyone know how make a downgrade from version 5.3 to 5.2? Is that even possible?
I'm unable to compile ruby 1.9.X and I found out it was related to openssl, although it seems there's a patch available for ruby I don't know how to apply it so I was thinking on downgrading to openssl 0.9.8n
I'm using F13 btw, I'm still posting it here as openssl 1.0.0 was first introduced on F12, the other major distros are still using openssl 0.9.8k so there's no much information on the problem
As I have not been able to resolve the problems with BackupPC after the upgrade (see post [URL]) it seems that my best option is to restore my system to the state when it was working OK and then do an upgrade to F13. I did a clean install when I upgraded to F12 and took the opportunity to reconfigure the disks to include some new drives into the RAID and LVM.
This means that the disks and partitions are not the same as when I was last running F10. I have the dumps taken at that time so I propose to install F10 from the DVD into the new structure and then restore the partitions from the dumps under single user. The new partitions are formatted ext4 and previously they were ext3, not sure if F10 supported ext4.
I know that there will be some directories and files which I must not overwrite: /etc/fstab /dev some parts of /boot I can do this with restore -i.
I am using Fedora12 and I'm running the radeon graphics driver, my card is ATi 8500 Radeon and I can't play hardly any games or use applications that require 3D Acceleration. The catalyst driver that I need for my ATi is too old to support Fedora 12 Xorg.is there a way to downgrade Xorg so I can install my cards drivers?
If there is how can I do this. If I run a 3D game of any kind It either works for a while and locks up the system where I can't even telnet into it to shut it down, or it won't start the game or App. I know I have some acceleration due to my glx gears, I could get into great detail of what I can and can't do.
Bottom line is since the video card is too old, not even the generic radeon driver allows me full freedom so there must be a way to install the other X.org without breakage
The R200 Radeon driver for my ATi in Fedora12 is not fully compatible with my video card, I was told this on an IRC channel a while ago, I think it stopped at Radeon 9600 ATi.
How to use gcc compiler with matlab. Matlab can only take advantage of gcc 4.3.4, whereas in fedora 14 we use 4.5.1. Unfortunately I could not find an older version of gcc in repositories. Is there a way to downgrade gcc without creting problems to the overall function of my fedora machine?
It looks like the latest kernel update has borked the sound on my Macbook Pro 5 4. Is it possible to downgrade to the previous version (which i believe is -19) where my sound worked? If so, how do I go about this?
Aafter installing 10.04 loads of problems have arised accumulating to no GUI. I doubt this is possible unlike windows. I haven't made any backups but could i restore it to 9.10 or copy my home dir to an external drive in text only (cant use live cd, its encrypted) and reinstall?
How do I downgrade the 10.04 theme to 9.10 or 9.04 human? I Find the newer theme interesting but its too dark on my eyes and it does not seem as crisp as it was with 9.10 on my LCD screen.
I have currently the LATEST version of Kubuntu 10.04 and I just DO NOT LIKE kde 4.. There are things I liked better in 3 than I did 4. I hate the desktop containers I hate when you turn them off and put your icons on the desktop they pop back to where they were before I just found it to have more JUNKWARE than I wanted. I just want simple KDE 3 back.
I had KUBUNTU 8.10 and thinking I was getting KDE 3 it gave me KDE 4.0.0 ( the one where the taskbar was black )
Is there a way to find to get I guess 8.04 to get KDE 3.5 back?
The result After following these instructions you'll get:
-GDM 2.20, with all the features(themes, feature complete, configurable...)
-No Plymouth, or any graphical boot (haven't found a way to run old gdm along with Plymouth)
These instructions are based on this post [URL] but they won't work on Lucid 10.04 Download GDM 2.20 on this link. Remove gdm and install the downloaded package.
