Together with upgrading Ubuntu to 10.04 last week PHP was upgraded from 5.2. to 5.3. which contains a lot of changes... Now, some old code ain't working. How can I downgrade 5.3. to 5.2.?
View 1 RepliesI need to work on CUDA, nVidia's API for GPU development. The gcc version it requires is one step below what 9.10 provides, but it works on 9.04
I understand it ultimately comes down to installing the appropriate packages, changing symlinks of gcc and to point to the correct version.
So, is there an "official Ubuntu way" to do it? As in, is there some transitional or script that does it all?
(The reason I am asking this is, generally whenever I do something like this on my own, it ends up breaking something somewhere, but if there's an official way to do it, it plays well with the rest of the system.)
Would there be any possible problem with installing Ubuntu 10.04 over 10.10 on a manually partitioned PC?
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and am considering going back to Lucid. I have 2 partitions ~ home and root. I presume there would be no problems with installing 10.04 over the 10.10 root partition? Will configuration files created by 10.10 in my home folder be usable by Ubuntu 10.04?
I did an apt-get upgrade half an hour ago, resulting in an upgrade from firefox 4 to 5, and in that time I've already run into multiple serious problems with the new version. Is there any way to downgrade?

UPDATE: Actually it's version 2.04 not 2.0, guess the site i followed was a little dated.
so i was a little hasty in upgrading Tranmission to version 2.0 and after a while i noticed that the new version is really slow especially for public torrents my question is; is it possible to downgrade to version 1.93?
i followed these command to install the new version.
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
I dont like Unity, it's bulky and slow. How can I switch to the 10.04 interface without downgrading to 10.04?
edit: I found that apparently I can get the 2d version, but can I get the 3d version?
I unfortunately succumbed to the lure of the latest and greatest and upgraded from a wonderfully stable, great version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to the -how shall I say- adventurous beta release of Ubuntu 11.04. My question is, I think, simple. Is it advisable to downgrade to the last 10.04 LTS ver.? I have my personal data saved. I run a dual boot with an old copy of Windows which I use once a year to do my taxes on.

How can I downgrade to version 5.2 without removing all the dependencies as I have pleask installed?
I installed wrong version from this package (I didn't knew that libc6 was very important package) so now i get a lot of errors. I tracked the original version and downloaded it. I have it on my PC as .deb package but i can't install it because it's older version then the installed one. Normally, I would first remove the old package and then install new. But now I'm not sure because I don't know will my edubuntu work without the libc6 package. Version of my edbuntu is 7.04 installed on asus eee 900HA. I only have internet on my desktop PC.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is the first time in two and half years of using Ubuntu that I've had to decide to downgrade, pretty disappointed that there are so many bugs in a final release, especially the more irritating bugs such as:
After alt+tabing I can't type sometimes (I've posted about this before), after a clean install problem still persists, I alt+tab a lot so not being able to type without minimizing my window is irritating
compiz + jaunty issue of assigning a key to bring up a terminal. The bug has been confirmed but if there is a fix, it wasn't put out with the release and requires tampering (usually I'd be okay with this but coupled with the other issues I see no point in wasting time)
nvidia card with twinview - with every prior release nvidia-settings worked flawlessly with twinview. Now the biggest issue is that when I fullscreen something it takes up both screens (such as a movie), when I am trying to work on one monitor and run a movie on another one I can't fullscreen because if I do it takes up both screens. I never have had this issue with a prior release.
I guess there is a first time for everything. I'm downgrading my system as well as my girlfriends because of the known intel graphics problem (I've read the wiki's about why they chose the driver but....a final release of an OS should not contain beta/experimental drivers that freeze up a computer set as a default).
I upgraded U. 9.04 to 9.1 over the net a few days ago and got stung by the 'Driver' issue. Namely, my nvidia card is not reconciled and as a result, the monitor remains blank. I am assuming that the remainder of the upgrade went o.K. though I can only follow the boot sequence on the monitor during the bios start up.
I have a live disk of U. 9.04 and want to revert back to it, preserving my data. When I put in the disk and am hopefully asked if I want to "Upgrade", will it work in reverse, so to speak. I understand that there is a problem with compatible libraries etc. but will it ignore this and simply replace the new with the old?
I need to install PHP 5.2 to run a script which didn't run correctly with PHP 5.3. Thus I would like to install PHP version from "lenny" packages (and not from "squeeze" packages).

but I would like to use Debian packages instead Ubuntu packages.
I upgraded my server machine to F12 without realising that postgresql gets upgraded to 8.4, and without realising that 8.4 can't work with 8.3 databases.
Is there a way to install postgresql 8.3 on F12, preferably from Fedora repositories?
Alternatively, is there a way to migrate an 8.3 database to 8.4? I know that the recommended approach is to dump and restore the DB, but now that I have upgraded to F12, the pg_dump command doesn't work anymore.
There is also this open-source tool called pg_migrator but I couldn't find a package for it and it requires a complicated compilation and installation procedure.
The simplest solution seems to me to remove pg 8.4 and install 8.3 on Fedora 12.
I need to downgrade the PHP on my Fedora 12 machine from 5.3.1 to 5.2...how do I do this?
ran 'yum downgrade php php-common php-cli' but can't get lower than 5.3.0.
This post is not to ask for help, but rather to document my recent effort to downgrade my ext4 file systems to ext3 file systems. I don't know if it'll help anyone, but here it is anyway, fwiw.I am running ubuntu 9.10 on an older Dell GX-270, and had formatted my partitions with ext4 file systems. I began to notice partimage wasn't backing up my ext4 file systems and I decided to downgrade to ext3 file systems.My system has one 160GB drive and one 500GB drive. I also have an external usb2 500GB drive./home is on the internal 500GB drive. To convert it, I mounted an ntfs file system on the external drive, created a container file, put a file system on it, and mounted the container as a linux file system.
The backup was done done via rsync. rsync makes things really easy. It understands uids, gids, file permissions, and all kinds of links. That's one reason I created the container file on my external drive. NTFS doesn't understand uids gids, linux file permissions, or linux style links.
currently i am trying to downgrade my version of g++ compiler in my ubuntu 9.10using synaptic, deselecting current 4.4.1 version and adding desired 4.1.2 version will result in g++ not being recognized in terminal anymore :(also sudo apt-get g++will only get me the latest 4.4.1

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install VMware 7.1.3 on ubuntu ( 2.6.38 ) but I ran into some problems. I installed a patch -> link to instructions
But when I try to run vmware workstation the GUI doesn't show up. This problem is also descrbied on the same site (link) They say: "This seems to be a problem with glibmm-2.28, downgrade glibmm to 2.24.2.1, and it should work."
I have no idea how to do this. Most sites refer to gtkmm..how to uninstall a previous version and how to install the correct version?
Is there any simpler method to downgrading to PostgreSQL 8.2.x? I am installing an application that requires it. I have removed postgresql 8.3 and tried to install some older fedora packages, but it did not go well.
My next step was to compile from scratch. However, I'm not real experienced with make/compiling and am fond of the organizational structure of RPMs.
The other option I could pursue is keeping 8.3 and installing an isolated 8.2 server for exclusive use by this app.
I updated to firefox 3.6 from the repository, it works bad, so I come back to 3.5 from the repository, now firefox doesn't start anymore.
Try with click not work
Try by console with
firefox not work
/usr/bin/firefox not work
/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox not work
Also try with -p and -safe-mode not work
Permission of that files are rwxr-xr-x group=root user=root
If I launch it by superuser it works

after being not so satisfied with opensuse 11.4 (worked really slow at times), i decided to downgrade to 11.3. But now, some applications won't start. When starting personal kontact, i only got a notification that akonadi server is starting but it doesn't progress. Only thing I can do is to kill the app.Same for Clementine (amarok-like player), but here it doesn't even try to start.So, I was thinking to delete all the settings folders concerning these apps in my home folder, but it doesn't change anything. I did so by searching for *kmail* *kontact* and *clementine* and erased those folders. Could it be that I forgot some? Some folders under some different names? I'm not really experienced into this subject
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting the lovely task of uninstalling Apache 2.2 and installing Apache 2.0 on CentOS 5. This is because of my original task of installing RSA web agent which only works with Apache 2.0. I also am not allowed to just install CentOS 4. I uninstalled Apache 2.2. Attempted to install Apache 2.0 (with rpm) and got multiple dependency errors. I installed the dependencies (and sometimes their dependencies including a little dance around some circular dependencies). Then I installed Apache 2.0 with no errors. However Apache failed to start.
Here is the error:
httpd: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0: undefined symbol: gdbm_errno.
Please don't tell me it "seems like you're missing your gdbm libraries." I'm not. I'm assuming I'm having a version incompatibility issue between gdbm and libaprutil. I just don't know what version of which I need to make Apache 2.0 happy. I tried uninstalling gdbm and installing an older version but I still have the same problem. Another option is to uninstall my openldap package (2.3.13-2) which I just installed and install an older version of that but again don't know which version is right.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI enables some alpha repositories on my device(n900) and as expected, upgrades from there broke a lot of things. Now I disabled the repository but the newer versions of the packages are still installed. Is there a way to check for all packages, if the installed version is newer than the repository version? So that I can downgrade them? The package management is apt. The main problem is I don't exactly remember what I upgraded so manual (apt-get remove/ then install) downgrade is not much of an option. I think I changed some python libraries that broke my system.
