Ubuntu :: 11.04 - Does 32bit And 64 Bit Both Recognize 8Gb Ram
May 4, 2011
I have a couple of questions re Ubuntu 11.04, Firstly; how can I find out which system this is, I used Wubi to load it and I think it's 64bit, which is great but I'd like to be sure. Does 32bit and 64 bit both recognize 8Gb ram Is there a site where I can send the developers a thank you and a congratulations for doing such a brilliant job of this OS, it's running perfectly.
I just ordered my new laptop (DLL XPS15) and I'm wondering on whether install a 32 or 64 bit version, I don't know if there's really a big difference between each one of them, I've always used a 32 bit version.
I have a 5 year desktop with 1.5GB RAM and the following specifications. AMD Athlon D400 Single Channel 64bit. Would it be advisable to install the latest version of Ubuntu "Lucid Lynx" 64bit on this pc?
I have downloaded the 64bit version of Ubuntu 10.04. I am currently using 8.10 32bit and I want to clean install 10.04 64bit version. However the one thing that is putting me off is that I have heard if your PC has 1GB of RAM or less then 64bit won't run very good because it uses more RAM than 32bit. (my PC has 1GB) So the question is: Does 64bit use more RAM than 32bit?
I've made a fresh install with the alternate cd, because for same strange reason I was unable to boot into the live CD.
After the instalation, I have rebooted the PC and under the log in screen of ubuntu 10.04, was a path or line of text describing an error (can't remember the type of error.)
Then the line disappeared, and i was able to log in normally.
Everything looked fine, after some testing and tweaking of the new system, I tried to reboot (to test). I choose ubuntu 10.04 in grub manager, and then there was just a sea of code on a black screen.
The previous release of ubuntu worked well on my PC
every time I exit OA, the game will hang as soon as I tell it to quit (includes typing quit in console)I ran from terminal to see what the last entry was before killing the process and it's always: Closing SDL audio device...I get this problem on Urban Terror most of the time, and I get it on Nexuiz rarely.
Also, sometimes when I boot the game up I get about 5-10 seconds of very poor quality audio and then the audio just cuts out. Can't see anything in the terminal however that looks like an error regarding this.
Whenever I try to format my 2.0GB USB stick, I get the following error: Code: Error formatting volume Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: WARNING: Not enough clusters for a 32 bit FAT! mkfs.vfat: Attempting to create a too large file system mkfs.vfat 3.0.7 (24 Dec 2009)
I currently have Ubuntu running in 32 bit with pae but I now want to switch to 64 bit. all of my hardware supports it. Is there an easer way to switch without needing to install Ubuntu all over again? It's such a haste to copy all of my files and reinstall programs and there settings manually.
i can only get 64bit from amazon's site. I tried running windows version in wine but it failed to work.edit: due to a mislabeled CD, I had errantly installed the 64bit version of Ubuntu and had not known until I was told later in this thread.
Ive been using Ubuntu 32bit on my work Dell E6400 for nearly a year now with no problems. It is capable of running Ubuntu 64bit and Ive tried out the live CD which seems ok. I have a spare 40GB HDD and a USB caddy so Id like to install Ubuntu 64bit onto that and start working with that as a trial. Once im happy I can get all the usual things I need for my work (like vpnc) working then I'll wipe the main internal HDD and install Ubuntu 64bit.
Apart from backing up my home directory, id like to backup a list of my installed packages as a list of reference so I know what to add into my new install. Is there a "apt" command to do this and list the packages in a way where if I install those packages, I'll not hit any dependancy problems by installing one before another?
10.04 32bit Desktop edition. I have unchecked the "Enable screensaver when the computer is idle" option and have set "put display to sleep when inactive for" to "Never" but the display is still blanking out!
I don't come across as dumb but here it goes *L* I have 2, 2gig usb pendrives. I have Ubuntu on both of these drives 1 is Ubuntu 10.10 32bit the other is Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. When in the live environment can I tell which bit I am currently running. (Yeah I forgot to mark them) I don't want to install the 32bit on my 64bit computer (I know it would work but still) I really dont want to redo the usb's if it is at all possible.
I have ubuntu on my pc......i downloaded virtual machine...now i want to install windows 7 32bit on it...how much memory should i allocate for it? and can i delete that windows 7 after some days?and that memory can i use in ubuntu?
I am running a fairly standard 32bit 10.10 install, although I deleted Firefox and installed Chrome. I am using Transmission for my torrent downloads. After a lot of reading and trying different things, I have managed to get the port to open. When Transmission is running, even if only uploading and downloading a few k each way, I have great difficulty in getting Chrome to load a web page, it is as if Transmission is hogging all the available bandwidth? Obviously if I shut down Transmission the problem goes away. It also occurred with Firefox before I deleted it.
My pc has 4GB ram and I want it to use it entirely. With Slackware's 2.6.33.4-huge-smp kernel my system is only able to access 3287MB. So I built a new one (2.6.35.4) and used the Slackware's 2.6.33.4-huge-smp config as template. I kept High Memory Support with 4GB because I only have 4. Now I found out that I have to set High Memory Support to 64GB to activate PAE.
What's the sense about it? Should I really use this option? Although I only have 4GB memory I don't see disadvantages.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 64bit, and I would like to run python 32bit.The current Python version used is the 64bit one.What can be some good ways for installing the python 32bit version without compromising the OS. I'm kind of new to this, so I don't really know if I could substitute the python version, or know how to make it available by using short commands such as python or easy_install.
after the automatic update this morning and restart I could no longer connect to wifi. The router is visible, along with all the others, but when it tries to connect to it, it doesn't succeed.
