I upgraded Ubuntu from version 10.04 to 10.10. When the upgrade completed I was asked to reboot. After reboot I simply got the message "error: file not found" on the screen. After a few seconds the machine rebooted.
I guess it is the boot loader that was not found. Is there some hope of fixing this problem?
After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 and running an update ubuntu can't connect to any wifi networks, although it can see them perfectly (and potentially unrelated, the windows partition is having major dns issues with the wifi too).
I've looked around and can't find an obvious fix, just a bunch of posts from people with the same problem that wasn't solved. I got frustrated and was about to install 10.10 again but I noticed I couldn't connect to the wifi on the liveCD either. I then tried the 10.04 liveCD, and the internet worked aswell as when I installed it. However before when I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 I had no problems with the wifi, so it leads me to suspect that there was something installed/some setting in 10.04 that is missing from the latter version.
I've just install qemu-kvm from [URL]
I run modprobe kvm and modprobe kvm-intel to load the modules, but the second command won't work.
It gives the following error -

I am just a fresh starter at Ubuntu so I ask you for some comprehension and to answer my question about a problem I have. I had started upgrading Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04, everything went fine until a message appeared saying:
Failed to fetch [URL]...untu1_i386.deb 404 Not Found

Then I had to close the upgrading process because of that message I tried again but it came out with the same result.
Currently i am using Ubuntu 9.04(Jaunty),i have downloaded iso image of Ubuntu 9.10 and i have burned it in a CD..So how to upgrade my ubuntu version to 9.10 without losing existing data.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThe upgrade instructions say you can use the upgrade manager to go from 10.4 to 10.10. I am currently running 9.10. Will this still work? Or do I have to go to 10.4 first? Or can I download the 10.10 alternate install iso and upgrade directly with that for both my Ubuntu and UbuntuStudio installations?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've not really need the computer for much for a while and have let the updates slip! I've got 9.04 and obviously need a newer version. I read that it's best to upgrade to 9.10 first then go from there, but my version is so old all the information is using update manager (just click this button blah blah) but of course this isn't supported now so can't use that method.
I don't really know any other way to upgrade other than following the links in update manager

I have a Dell Mini 10V running Ubuntu Linux 8.04 LTS. I need to upgrade to the latest version of Linux. Which of the latest versions I can upgrade to and exactly which download to use (a reference to the actual download and page it is on) to be able to upgrade. I have looked at the many different versions and types of downloads and have no idea which to choose to be able to use the correct one.

So i am running Kubuntu with kde4 on my laptop. The game Wesnoth recently got updated to 1.8 and when i go to kpackagekit it does not show wesnoth 1.8 it only shows 1.6.5 or whatever. This may have something to do with my repository (<----- Know very little about),

I notice the version of mdadm distributed in Ubuntu is 2.6.7.1, but versions exist up to 2.6.9 (excluding all the 3.X ones) Is it worth using a later version? Or is 2.6.7.1 used for a particular reason?

View 8 Replies View RelatedXorg seems to crash randomly and with no real reason. Once it does, I can't restart it. If I try to restart it with GDM, nothing will happen.

A recently installed 10:10 displays this message at start up:

I have a virtual machine (VirtualBox) with Ubuntu 9.10 installed, I'm trying to install MySql community editor using the linux-generic package (the tar package), I followed all the procedure but I had a problem with the next line of code:
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
I don't understand a lot about the command line, but I think this line of code is used to create the basic tables of the database (users and so on). the problem I got with this line of code is:
FATAL ERROR: Could not find mysqld
I googled it and after a while I found this blog:
azimbabu.blogspot.com/2009/07/mysql-5136-in-ubuntu-904-fatal-error.html
The blog says that the problem is a default instalation of SQL, and the solution is replace the file my.cnf in the location /etc/mysql for other file that comes with the package.
I didn't replace the file my.cnf, I only changed the name and it woked perfectly, and this is the problem, I don't understand why it worked.
Any one knows why this file is so important?What could happen if I delete this file?what is the purpose of the package mysql-common un Ubuntu?
for some reason my first updating was interrupted and from then i cannot update. i get the following message:

when I try to open Banshee I get an error message telling me that the disk is malformed and then Banshee closes itself (faster than I can copy and paste the exact error). I did some searching and apparently it's caused by the configuration file, but I did a complete removal of Banshee from the package manager, restarted the computer, and re-installed Banshee, but it's still giving me the error.

View 8 Replies View RelatedThis box is running 10.04 server, it's been running perfectly for almost 6 weeks. It's only function in life is running MailArchiva which is an ediscovery package, runs very well. Anyhow, yesterday the boss tells me he wants to do something else so the last thing I did was an apt-get update and an apt-get upgrade, no errors were observed, I seem to remember like 8 updates were available, this is what I've normally done in the past to keep it current. The last thing I did after that was shutdown -r now.
This morning I can't get into the box, I reconnected a monitor to it and this is the error I'm getting when it stops after about 9 lines into the boot process;
modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting padlock_sha (/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-server/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-sha.ko): No such device.
This is a mystery to me, the system is not encrypted. The only stuff that is belongs to MailArchiva. Anyhow someone evidently made off with my install cd so I am downloading another to see if I can repair this but I have no idea what broke.
I just installed Maverick on a brand new system last Saturday. Everything worked, except dual monitors, so I activated the proprietary ATI/AMD driver. That allowed the dual monitors to work, except that it put a little "AMD unsupported hardware" watermark in the lower right-hand side of each screen. After a day or two, I decided to go back to the default driver while trying to figure out how to avoid the watermark.
I assumed that when I deactivated/removed the proprietary driver that it would automatically switch back to the default. Instead, my computer now boots to TTY1, and when I try to install xserver.xorg, etc., I get a lot of error messages,ike "No screens found" or "Screens found, but configuration is unusable," etc. The same messages show up in the logs.Can anyone help me get back to a useable desktop display? At this point, I don't care which one. erhaps the proprietary would be easiest since it seems to be holding my system hostage, but either one would work.
Ubuntu 10.10 Whenever I try to boot up now I get a command line environment instead of the normal gnome desktop. The first error message that comes up is: "Screens found,but none have a usable configuration" further down: "Fatal server error: no screens found" Any way I can re-configure so it detects my monitor?

Shortly after upgrading to Meerkat I discovered that my macbook timemachine backups became unreliable to the point of uselessness. After a bit of googling it appears that Meerkat's version of Netatalk (2.1.2) has some issues that bust timemachine. These issues are supposedly fixed in version 2.1.3. So... what is the best way for me to go about upgrading Netatalk past the official Meerkat release version?
The Netatalk project is at version 2.1.5. I could uninstall the Meerkat packages and just try to build Netatalk directly from source. However I'm a little leary about losing all of my existing AFPD filesystem meta-data. The Natty Narwhal repository appears to have version 2.1.4 which I've read should solve my problem. Is there any way to install the binaries from the Natty repositories? Can I download the source package from the Natty repositories and rebuild the package with Meerkat libraries/dependencies?
I have been trying for the last couple of days to upgrade a Xen guest running on Xen Server 5.5 from 11.0 to a more recent version. I have tried both 11.3 and 11.1. The upgrade seems to take, but it fails on the initial boot. It seems that it is expecting the root partition to be on /dev/sda2 - however I believe it is supposed to be /dev/xvda2. Initially when fstab had /dev/xvda2 I had a warning, so I changed fstab through yast to use the drives uuid. I've also tried zypper dup - but that gave all sorts of dependency errors. For kicks, I thought I might try 11.4 next. Am I out of luck and should just go with a fresh install?
