View 4 RepliesI'm having a problem going from F12>F13 using preupgrade with a wired internet connection. The current F12 installation is up to date. The upgrade crashes with the "the root for the previously installed system was not found". I've also tried upgrading using YUM and was also unsuccessful. Has anyone run into this problem with this upgrade?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two problems. I installed a RHEL variant (scientific linux) on an already dual boot system with ubuntu and vista.
It replaced GRUB with (I think an older) GRUB version and to add to that I cannot see my ubuntu ditro anymore. is there a way of reinstalling the GRUB that came with ubuntu then adding the RHEL distro to it?
my second problem is that I cannot figure out how to enable wake on lan in scientific linux (RHEL). on ubuntu I would just write a small script and update all runlevels to run it at startup. what is the alternative on redhat?
I am using xp and ubuntu 9.10 in dual boot mode.Previously when i formatted my xp and reinstalled it the mbr was changed and this the grub did'nt loaded up. Well i am out of that problem but now i want to format the xp from my linux i.e i don't want any other os in this hard disk apart from linux (ubuntu 9.10) so is it possible to format the xp from linux.
will it affect the mbr ? and if yes then wat is the solution for it ? also the drive containing xp should be available for my storage purpose afterwards.
In the midst of an epic, hours-long saga of attempting to reinstall Kubuntu 11.04 and get my GRUB menu back in order to dual boot with Windows 7 (I accidentally lost the rambling thread I previously typed, so I'm not going to even tell the back story unless prompted), my installation progress bar seems to be sitting at a solid 86%, reading "Restoring previously installed packages...", something I've never seen before. It's sat there for two hours, not moving a pixel. Is there anything I can do at this point? I've been up for hours trying to do this, and I'm about ready to give up on Kubuntu and even seeing my Windows system again.

Everything went on smoothly until it got stuck at a point where it shows the following message: Restoring previously installed packages... And the progress bar is not moving a bit for almost one and half hour.

I'm confused while trying to fix controls styles (tabs, buttons, scrollbars, main menus, popup menus) of my 3dparty applications in KDE. The problem reflected in the fact that all controls of non-KDE applications (Firefox, Zend Studio, Gimp,..) have Gnome styles. But setted widget style is "Oxygen".I assume that this problem has appeared after installing new fonts in my system.
