Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Upgrade To 11.04 From 10.10 / Solution For This?
Apr 17, 2011
I have spent 20 minutes looking and can't find the solution. I just installed 10.10 and want 11.04 now. Don't ask me why I didn't just install Natty Narwhal, but I didn't. Now, when I run the update manager, it does not mention the update to 11.04. So I run check, nothing. I open the settings, check every option I can because what the heck, and nothing.
I ran the upgrade from 9 to 10.04. So far I have everything but wifi. There is no wifi access even through a menu bar icon. Any others with this problem who've found a solution?
So I did an update to my slackware current and as many people here found that KDE crashes... Mine I am unable to find a fix for it.... I get the following error as I log in...
Warning Can not Open ConsoleKit Session Unable To Open Session: Failed To Connect to Socket: /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No Such File or Directory.
After upgrading Centos 5.4 cluster nodes to 5.5 all virtual services failed to start. All virtual services are marked as 'failed'. The reason: new /usr/share/cluster/vm.sh requires 'which', but this is not reflected in rgmanager-2.0.52-6.el5.centos.
Solution: run 'yum -y install which' on all nodes, and reboot cluster. Hope that will save somebody hours of downtime.
I have repeatedly installed from CD & each time after reboot, I get an error.. afbe47d-19bo-416f-adaa-d1b1255ecfaa I do not have knowledge of ubuntu Nvidia drivers etc. because my previous installations (ie. 9.04) worked OK. I do not have a dual boot HDD, just a clean install. By the way, I can upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 using the add/remove thing & everything works.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my custom tower. The live CD loads, I select Install Ubuntu, I get to the screen with the system checks, I hit install and... crash.
I'm guessing it's a hardware issue as I have it installed on 3 other computers no problem. Here are my specs code...
I've tried the 64bit and 32 bit versions, same thing. I tried installing it with Wubi, I reboot and it crashes shortly into the install. Is any of this hardware incompatible? Any suggestions I can try?
I just installed Ubuntu on my girlfriends laptop. The install went fine, but after it tried to restart, it wouldn't boot into Ubuntu. I was reading a thread about someone with a similar problem, and replied in that thread as well, but no responses to me yet. One person said to go here and run the script and post the output. I did that, and this is what I got code...
I recently installed Ubuntu on my system...I downloaded Vuze .tar.bz2 and tried to install it..I also extracted the package as directed in the readme file.....
The readme also instructed to "Start Azureus by running the script named 'azureus'; ex. "./azureus" "..I did the steps..Goggling didn't help me much either..I tried running certain instructions as mentioned on various on the Internet but nothing helped..
Ubuntu-live-usb hangs And the only thing I see are Ubuntu and dots changing colours from orange to with. How may I see boot post and see where the problem are? I have check the disks by hold down -shift.
I DLed 10.10 iso and burned it to cd. When I try to boot with cd, it starts up fine, I get the Ubuntu logo with rolling dots, but after a few mins it freezes (with logo still on screen). I have been running Ubuntu on this comp for years
I want to migrate my Debian server to CenOS. The Debian server has the following partition layout code...
When I try to map Logical Volume 'home' to '/home' en choose the 'Leave unchanged (preserve data)' option I get the following error:
The current requested size ( 947904.00 MB) is larger than maximum logical volume size ( 262144.00 MB). To increase this limit you can create more Physical Volumes from unpartitioned disk space and add them to this Volume Group.
I just installed 10.04 Lucid.There were some animation effects in the compiz config settings manager which were to add extra features such as burn,glide and a whole lot now they are not in this compiz any ideas?
I have this problem where the 10.10 LiveCD 64-bit works (as in I get full resolution display and no video issues at all). But after install, the OS boots successfully but there's no display. I know it's successful because I was able to login in the dark (sound works).
Here's what I have: HP m9340f (NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS with HDMI) 46" Sharp connected via HDMI Windows 7, works fine.
Here's what I tried with no luck: 1. CTRL-ALT-F1 still doesn't show anything on screen, no terminal 2. Connected via VGA 3. Connected another 17" monitor via VGA, rebooted 4. Added vga=789 in grub before booting
The weird thing is that I had 10.04 before and it was working for a while then it suddenly stopped working. I figured I'd wait until 10.10 but I now have the same issue. I haven't tried 32-bit... I can give that a shot in a bit.
I've been attempting to install 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10 on my Dell Studio 1749 with the intention of making a dual-boot system. Attempting to install with a live CD using the default settings, I got as far as pressing ENTER on "Install Ubuntu" before the screen went completely black. The CD drive spun wildly, but nothing ever appeared on the screen. I tried the fix detailed here:
typing "nomodeset" as an option, and using the "apic=off" option. When I did this, I was no longer greeted with a blank black screen, but instead with a blinking cursor, but the installation still hung. The keyboard was unresponsive and I could not open a terminal. I also tried using the alternate installer instead, and got the same results.
After this, I tried installing using wubi, and on boot I get exactly the same results: black screen without "nomodeset" and a blinking cursor otherwise.
I should also mention that the same thing happens for every option on the installation screen, including the option to "try ubuntu" by booting from the CD.
Does anyone know what could be causing this issue, and how I might install ubuntu on my machine?
I just installed Fedora 9 for the first time and have been unable to run updates nor am I able to use the add/remove programs feature. With the system updates the error I receive is within the /urs/share/packages area. I posted this http://amahi.pastebin.com/m131ea1d2 I also receive a different error when I run the Add/Remove programs feature and I receive a similar error. I also tried running these commands from root while logged in as root -- yum clean meatadata yum -y update but this had no change to the system. I also thought it may have been a RPMFusion issue so I looked at their FAQ and ran the command line to enable RPMFusion and it advises that this package is already installed. I am getting confused by this and not sure where to start so that I dont keep going over the same things with and getting the same results.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my new Acer Aspire 5551 notebook and for some reason Ubuntu does not want to install the Broadcom STA Wireless driver comes back with an error Sorry installation of this driver falied please look at the log file for details /var/log/jockey.log
I computer literate but I'm new to the Ubuntu world.....I already know that this OS is far superior to any Windows based OS it is not even comparable.
I've found that Ubuntu doesn't properly recognize disks attached to a Promise FastTrak TX4310 RAID5 card. I have a possible solution, but I could sure use some feedback from people more experienced with 'nix and drivers. Please advise?
Promise has TX4310 drivers for SUSE and RHEL4 (note: I've never heard of that one before), but their support person said that their open source drivers should be ok to compile with any version of Linux based on the 2.6 core. Therefore, I'm wondering if these open source drivers could simply be recompiled for Ubuntu and used?
Please excuse my ignorance with this as I'm new to 'nix having 30 yrs experience only with big iron and Windows. I'm ramping-up quickly, but haven't been down the path of compiling drivers yet, not like it'd stop me.
Does this idea make sense? Has anyone tried it? Please help if you can as I'd really hate to go back to Windows box simple because of a lack of Promise driver support.
every time i try to update. The number of bytes sometimes changes but it ends up always failing to download the full 862kB and suggests checking my Internet connection.... which is fine.
I've done some searches on here and can't seem to find anyone making any mention of this one site I found. Has anyone used the Debian Lenny KDE32 images from this site?[URL].. I downloaded it and it works GREAT! I think the solution for us poor Lenny holdouts might have been found. Especially those who have ati radeon cards. As background. I am running a Radeon 9000 pro agp card. I've been looking for SOME way to get KDE4 that works. Kubuntu, forget it. Mandriva was close but I'd miss apt too much. I was thinking of trying backports. But it seems these guys have already done the work. I downloaded their Lenny KDE32 image and burned it. Be aware, this is a DVD image, not a cd image. At 786megs it won't fit on a cd. But I put it on a dvd and it worked fine. Booted up to a nice clean running KDE4 on a lenny system. I still have some tinkering if I install it (blacklist pcspeaker for example, and get audio cd's to play) But here is my catch. I brought up the screensaver and chose my favorite: Solar winds. It a Gl screensaver, so 3d has to be working good.
"Upgraded" from FC5 32 bit to Fedora 10 64 bit using Fedora Live KDE disk, and unchecking the boxes to format drives with my personal data. In the install it recognized these as SW raid devices. One is raid 1, the other raid 5.
Now, it still recognizes the raid devices, and mdstat claims they are working fine, but I cannot mount them (mount says must specify a FS type, but that doesn't work either).
I installed FC10 but can not see mouse pointer (it was so also during the installation process). Mouse is working, Crtl shows pointer's position, moving over sensitive areas activates them but no pointer can be seen. The Mouser Property Tool doesn't show the part for selecting pointer themes (as given in Help). FC9 on the same computer worked ok, FC10 on other computers work ok, too.
My hard disk is a 40 gb seagate drive with 3 logical partitions - C (Win 98), D (Data), E (Win XP Home). Yesterday, I decided to format Win 98 partition and install Fedora 11 on it. I used Live USB, custom partitioned for /, /boot and swap. Installation went fine until the Add/Delete boot screen came when I got multiple Unable to mount partition errors. Then I added Win XP (which was on sda6) and restarted the system. When the system booted, I selected Win XP but it didn't do anything. It showed blank screen and then reverted to grub boot loader screen. Then I selected Fedora time and completed installation and it works fine but XP doesn't boot.
Thinking something might have gone wrong, today I reinstalled Fedora. I chose "Install over previous Linux" and this time the installation went smoothly without any errors. However it still doesn't let me boot into Win XP. It gives a "Booting into WinXP in 3/2/1 seconds" and then goes blank and keeps repeating that message.
I am unable to boot with kernel 2.6.35.13-92.fc14.x86_64 which was installed while applying software updates. It hangs with the last message issued "Registering binary handler for Windows Applications". Searching led to it being related to a problem with the nvidia drivers. I followed the directions in several posts - delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf, reboot, run nvidia-xconfig, reboot and all is fine, but not in my case. The first reboot works but the screen is wrong. There is a 1 inch wide black border around the presentation window. If I then do the nvidia-xconfig and reboot, i am back to where I was before - boot hangs after issuing "Registering...". If I boot to the last good kernel, everything works fine. This happened to me once before and I was able to fix it by rebuilding the nvidia kernel (I think that was what I had to do), but I can't find out how to do that. I have akmod and kmod installed which are supposed to take care of this problem. I booted to kernel 13-92 recovery mode, deleted the xorg.conf file and ran nvidia-xconfig from there. Still fails. I don't know what to list here, but I will do my best to supply whatever is necessary.
I keep getting the following msg as I try to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report." I don't think any of the issues above apply - can anyone offer advice on how to get around or "force " the upgrade
