when I reformat ubuntu, I use AptonCD to save packages and then restore them without downloading anything over again. what I want to know is: I have the 32 bits ubuntu installed and then I downloaded the 64 bits version. If i reformat to the 64 bits one, would the DVD saved aptoncd packages from the 32 bits work on the 64 bits installation?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm quite new to linux and I recently (and courageously) upgraded the computer of my work from opensuse 11.0 32bits to opensuse 11.2 64bits.
Well, everything would be quite fine except that I still have some softwares 32 bits that have the 64 bits version available. I know that because, using YaST, I can see by the Installed software section that there are 'choices' of versions for some programs; these versions are 'i586' and 'x86_64', and many of them have the i586 version installed.
So, I wonder if there is some type of auto upgrade all programs which are i586 and have the matching x86_64 avaliable...

I just create a vm image with 2 CPUs to be used on a one CPU machine. it works great. Now, i am thinking about creating a 64 bits Redhat VM image to be run on my 32 bits machine. Is that possible?

The printers are ancient Newbury data dot matrix wide carriage with 7 data bits receive 8 data bits transmit Xon/Xoff flow control. Now I remember setting the transmit and receive data bits as above but after 7 years can't remember where.

I don't see any errors but the file is not installed (I think) because when I go to synaptic they are not there. And trying to proceed with the ns2 installation results in error since I don't have the gcc3.3
I want to know what's different between Fedora 32 bits and 64 bits.

My laptop has a Realtek 8187b usb wireless card. It was working using ndiswrapper and WinXP driver in Debian Sid (32-bits version). I cannot use rtl8187 module because I just can use it beside the access point. With Windows (XP, Seven) I can go to my bedroom and use wireless, with Debian and rtl8187 module I can't. Ndiswrapper solved this problem...
Yesterday I've installed Debian Sid (64-bits version) and ndiswrapper is not working anymore. I've tried a lot of drivers (XP, XP64, Vista, Vista64, Seven, Seven64). XP64 version crashes the computer and I need to reboot to use Debian again. My access point is a D-LINK 2640t.

Next, I am going to build a new pc and have bought the following parts:-
1.Motherboard -Asus M4A88T-M
2CPU-AMD Athlon 11 x3 445 3.1
3.RAM-Kingston Hyperx 4GB
4.Hardrive- Samsung 1TB Spinpioint
If anyone has any tips about building a pc I would be most grateful.
I am a bit concerned that the cd supplied with the motherboard may not be compatible with the linux system, and therefore I shall have to go on the 'net' to download the drivers.

I have dual booted an acer 5220 laptop with Sabayon 4 and Ubuntu - Ubuntu was first on there and 8.10 saw my wifi card straight away, (in fact 8.4 saw it but only after conecting via ethernet to do the first round of updates) but Sabayon 4 just will not connect via wifi - Is it possible to take the working wifi part of the ubuntu installation? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? I love the look of Sabayon.
I had an old laptop which ran Slackware-current, but it died. As a replacement I got a great Toshiba Qosmio laptop with Win7 SP1.
Now 13.37 is nearing, and I would like to install it on a dual-boot setting with Win7.
My previous laptop was a 1.5 GHz Celeron M single core, 32-bit only. You might guess it wasn't exactly a speed demon.
However, this laptop has as a CPU a Centrino Intel Core 2 Duo T5450, which is 64-bit capable. Therefore, I would like to ask the following:
* Which one is better: 32 or 64 bit Slack?
* If the answer is 64 bit, what is the difference multilib makes?
* If I choose to install the 64-bit version of Slack, should I take some special precautions, or are there some things I must have in mind regarding its difference with 32-bit Slack?
Notes:
1. When I talk about 64-bit Slack, I'm meaning the official 64-bit Slackware Linux (i.e., not BlueWhite64 or similar).
2. When I am speaking about multilib, I'm meaning the multilib setup of AlienBob.

Currently running 9.10 and am interested in 10.04 upgrade but download manager tells me this is a 1.2 GB download and I have just a wireless connection making this a lengthy and tedious affair.Is there any way of doing a partial upgrade bits at a time without having to go whole hog?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a dual boot (WinXp, Ubuntu) on my machine. Unbuntu is installed in the same partition of WinXp. Evertime i have to access a windows file or folder i mount the windows drive using the following command
Code:
sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 /dev/sda1 /media/c
This works just fine. My problem is that all the files are loaded with -rwxrwxrwx and the directories drwxrwxrwx. I cannot change the file mode bits using chmod even in su mode. chmod incidentally works just fine and does not give any error. But the file mode bits are still the same.
I installed recently Ubuntu 10.04 32 bits server CD to USB stick (EXT4). The target machine is an 500Mhz VIA Epia Pico-ITX equipped with 1Gb of memory. This x86 server will run one or two processes 24/7 actively in memory. Therefore not too many writes to disk, maybe once or twice a week editing config files. Also I compiled the latest vanilla kernel, 2.6.35.4 atm, and optimised for VIA C3. However I like to limit my question in this thread to limit disk writes on USB stick, please let me know if you know other good tweaks to apply I did not find (overlooked) here.
