View 8 RepliesI upgraded Karmic Koala to Lucid Lynx, Alpha 2. Now I want to upgrade to Alpha 3, and eventually to BetaX. When I enter the command updata-manager -d, the system says that I am up-to-date. Is there a direct way to upgrade to the latest Alpha, or do I need to download the .iso, build a CD, and do an install from that?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using Natty since alpha, and along the way several thing became broken. I would like to get my system to be as stable as if I did a clean install, but without haveing to do all the work it would take, to get everything back the way I want it. Is there a way to clean up all the leftover obsolete files and bad configurations, created by buggy beta builds?
View 5 Replies View RelatedFew months ago I thought I would test the alpha release, so I downloaded the file and burned the .iso to CD. I had problems with the installation, so I cancelled it half-way through, and continued to use 10.04, which worked fine. Now, whenever I try to update/upgrade the system, it keeps asking me to insert the old CD, which I no longer have.
For example, if I try to
sudo apt-get update
it seems to work fine, until it stalls with the message:
Media Change: Please insert the disc labelled
'Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Alpha i386 (20100925)'
in the drive /cdrom/ and press enter
Apart from this recurring problem, I think I have have now successfully upgraded to 10.10. I realize that it's probably my own fault (or is it -- shouldn't 10.10 realise that I am way beyond the alpha release now?)

I am attempting to install Fedora 15 alpha in a virtual machine on Virtual Box 4.0.4 from Oracle uname -r returns this:[Gary@Fedora13 ~]$ uname -r 2.6.34.8-68.fc13.i686 This is a machine I built myself, 3.3g dual core processor and 6gigs of memory and two terabytes HD space.
I've already installed Ubuntu 10.10 in a VM on this PC without any problems. BTW I tried to install Windows XP in a VM and it always says no bootable medium found, not so worried about that now unless there's a quick fix.

I am trying to use Skype beta on my acer aspire one with ubuntu 10.10. The video runs brilliantly and i can also here my wife from the other end but she cannot hear me. Apparently something is fishy with my mic input. I tried alsamixer and everything is in unmute. My alsa version is 1.0.23. The only think she hears is a loud hissing noise which is normally my bat voice but she doesnt need to know that. I can record my voice in the sound recorder but nothing comes out in Skype!
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo here's the schedule for 10.04:
April 8th, 2010 - Beta 2 release;
April 22nd, 2010 - Release Candidate;
April 29th, 2010 - Final release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
If I have 10.04 beta 1, could I just continue to update and not have to burn another disk to install? Or do I have to burn the beta 2 and reinstall if I want it?
My update manager still says "updated 3 days ago" and no updates have come through today. Does anyone know if NBR has been automatically updated TODAY from Beta 1?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOriginally I had Ubuntu running on my machine. I installed windows beta 7 with a working dual boot. Get everything working in grub again. I decided to give Fedora a try and wiped my Ubuntu partition and installed Fedora. Everythings all good...except the reconfiguration of grub has left out my Windows 7 partition (nothing out of the norm) I tried manually adding windows 7 to /boot/grub/menu.lst but it's not working, when I try to boot into Windows 7 i get a little flashing "_" for a really long time and nothing happens.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe Avant Window Navigator beta, as taken from the project's Bazaar repository, isn't configuring correctly on my machine and gave me loads of errors previous to this point, so I've had my hands full for a while now. Three packages that AWN needs to compile (gnome-desktop-devel, gnome-vfs-devel and libgnome-devel) are refusing to install, leaving me with this Quote: checking for AWN... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.8.0 gthread-2.0 gobject-2.0 gtk+-2.0 gdk-2.0 >= 2.10 dbus-glib-1 gnome-desktop-2.0 libgnome-2.0 gnome-vfs-module-2.0 gconf-2.0) were not met: No package 'gnome-desktop-2.0' found No package 'libgnome-2.0' found No package 'gnome-vfs-module-2.0' found.
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables AWN_CFLAGS and AWN_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. and this is why they won't install Quote:hal = 0.5.13-9.fc12 is needed by package hal-devel-0.5.13-9.fc12.x86_64 (fedora) I need an old version of HAL for the "dependency resolution failed" notices to go away. One which PackageKit says is still on my computer. I would try to downgrade via yum but setenforce 0 fails. What do I need to do to get this whole thing finished?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI switched a while ago from Gnucash to Homebank. The current version of Homebank is 4.04, but there is a new 4.1 Beta which provides several very welcomed new features. Since there appears it will take some time for the official Fedora repo to provide version 4.1 (I checked Koji already), I was wondering if anybody around here already made an rpm that would kindly share. I even tried the tar package provided by Homebank's website but wasn't successful installing it.
