Ubuntu Installation :: Download Upgrade Somewhere Else / Burn To CD To Run In Home Computer?

Jun 20, 2011

I have Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope running on my home PC (dual boot with Win XP) and have received notification that this will no longer be supported and I should upgrade to 11.04. I have a slow and costly internet connection at home and don't want to download the upgrade directly onto my computer there.Is it possible to download the upgrade somewhere else and burn to a CD to run in my home computer? I see I can do this for a new install but was wondering if it is possible for an upgrade?

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Upgrade Home Computer From 10.10 To 11.04

Apr 30, 2011

I upgraded the computer at work from 10.10 to 11.04 yesterday and that went okay. Some issues, but I can work them out. I thought I'd get the computer at home done yesterday too, but that failed. I'm now operating off of a USB drive. I also have Windows7 that I was able to function off of (probably have 3 hours logged on Windows in the last 4 months). Anyway, I have an AMD64 with 4 hard drives, of which we have 2 RAID settings so it's more like 2 hard drives.

Jun 1, 2010

While upgrading to a newer version of Ubuntu I noticed a warning saying that the installation/upgrade should not be interupted. Unfortunately though, during this process my computer froze up and I had to shut it down. Ubuntu no longer starts on my computer. I still have Windows though, which is what I'm using now.

Ubuntu Installation :: Get A Torrent Download App On Computer For File Sharing?

Mar 19, 2010

I am a relative moron when it comes to using Ubuntu. This is a relatively old machine and I purchased it from a friend. She said Ubuntu was a good choice to maximize space as opposed to XP. I want to find a way (and maybe an example of one) to get a torrent download app on my computer for file sharing. I found one that uses Java, but when I tried to install java it was utter failure.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.4 Upgrade Download Crash Can't Boot 9.10

May 1, 2010

Was running the upgrade through the manager this morning and the download got about 3/4 of the way and froze up making the system unresponsive I left this for an hour to see if it would resolve its self but no luck so as the installation hadn't begun I hit the power button. BIG mistake now when I try boot to 9.10 it hits a black screen with white ubuntu logo much like 9.10 but no loading bar. it just hangs at this now. I am currently posting this from a live usb I made from an ISO of 10.4 i downloaded on my girl friends windows machine. Is it possible to either fix the 9.10 installation or update the files on the 9.10 installation to 10.4 from the live disk(I have the option to make a 9.10 live disk if needed)?

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade From 10.04 To 10.10 - Meercat Download Failure

Dec 19, 2010

Running 10.04 tried to upgrade to 10.10. Download ran for 6.5 hours then produced a failure message. Download speed varied all over the place from 30 kbps to 170 kbps but usually well below 100. Speedtest shows about 100 kbps in and out. Is there a way to drop back to 10.04 ad run the 10.10 download from scratch? Attempts to run the download now produce index error messages.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade To Lucid With /home Partition?

May 13, 2010

I just need some clarification on the best upgrade path for me. I currently have Karmic installed with a separate partition for /home. I want to do a clean install of lucid with the CD.

What's the safest way to ensure my /home partition remains untouched? Should I install lucid overtop the karmic partition and then indicate a mount point for the other partition? or should I leave /home alone completely during installation and then just manually configure the mount point after install?

Edit: I had previously upgraded from jaunty to karmic via the update manager. This worked well but Karmic has felt very buggy overall so I feel a clean install might be best. although the audio is silent when the live cd boots :S

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 - Home Folders Missing After Upgrade

Aug 8, 2010

This evening I went through the upgrade process to 10.04. The entire process went well until reboot time. At that point fsck was run and stopped after checking the first physical hard drive. After some time I skipped (s). When I tried to log in, warning messages informed me that Nautilus could not access it's folders in our home folder. ls /home/ brings up nothing, nada zilch. Some poking around confirms that the drive is there but Ubuntu seems unaware of it.

The configuration:
Physical hd #1 is: sda a 40Gb hard drive with windows and Ubuntu / and swap.
Physical hd #2 is: sdb a 120Gb hard drive with our /home partitions.
Seems Ubuntu is simply not detecting the drive?

Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Crashed During 10.10 Upgrade

Nov 9, 2010

I was upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 when my laptop crashed due to a HW issue not related to upgrade. But now when I start:

1) The laptop, it boots up till the point GDM log in screen is displayed without any log-in option. The system does not respond to any keyboard or mouse actions.
2) when I try to recover (recovery mode), the boot process comes til a point where it says "Console: switching to color frame buffer device 180x56"

And the prompt just stays there. It does not not drop to terminal. When I choose an older option in the grub, I do get dropped to initramfs prompt. How to restore my machine. re-instillation is not an option as I have some data I need in the home directory.

Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Rebooted During Upgrade - What To Do?

Dec 4, 2010

My daughter rebooted my computer while it was upgrading from Karmic to Lucid.

Now, of course, it won't reboot

"[ 0.683646]Kernel panic - not syncing: - VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)"

I do have a very current backup of /home

I don't have a backup of any configuration files (/etc/conf and so on?)

I think that I will have to overwrite the whole installation and then restore my /home directory, which will mean tweaking all my software installations again?

Is this my best plan of action?

Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Shut Off During Upgrade?

Aug 2, 2011

Last night I decided to upgrade to Natty Narwhal 11.04 from MM10.10. I tried to leave it to install overnight.

Some bright spark turned off the power supply to my computer.

I don't know exactly what stage the installation was at, but it must have been installing the upgrade at least, because I'm now locked out of my computer.

Boot up progresses until the ubuntu loading screen. At this point is says,

'Ubuntu 10.10'

The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present Continue to wait; or press s to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.

(If I press 'S', it says something like 'cannot find /tmp folder')

I don't know if the upgrade installation was completed, but I suspect not, because the power was turned off just an hour into the installation. Also it still tries to load Ubuntu 10.10.

Anything I can do besides formatting for a fresh 11.04 install? If only to save some files?

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade Failed At Nearly 4 Minutes Remaining In The Download

May 5, 2011

two days ago I updated my desktop which has only Ubuntu as OS. Following the update, I chose to upgrade to 11.04 because it was offered on the software update window. The upgrade failed at nearly 4 minutes remaining in the download. Problem now is I cannot boot the system. It keeps taking me to Ubuntu flash screen with 5 options. The Ubuntu with Linux generic (whatever) indicates "Cannot open root device "sda1".

Fedora Installation :: Upgrade Of AMD64 To F11 Tries To Download?

Jul 1, 2009

After burning the DVD of F11 for AMD64, I boot from it. After some choices, instead of going to read from the DVD it connects to the internet and tries to download packages. After some time it fails to read and goes into a loop for trying to read. If I interrupt this and skip the network section, it reports it can't connect to the internet. Why does it want to connect to the internet anyway when I've booted from DVD ? It didn't do that on x86.

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Mount Downloaded Home Partition After Upgrade

May 6, 2010

When I had 9.10 installed I had /home and / on separate partitions but this time, I wanted them both within the same. I downloaded my old home partition to an external drive, wiped the old partitions and installed lucid but now I can't mount the drive. I am trying to use:

Code:
sudo mount -o loop -t auto /mnt/storage/home.img /mnt/oldhome/
but I get an error of wrong fs type, bad option or bad superblock.
fdisk -l shows:

Code:
Disk /mnt/storage/home.img: 0 MB, 0 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Disk /mnt/storage/home.img doesn't contain a valid partition table. But in nautilus it shows it as the full 23.6 gb its supposed to be?

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade Of Machine With Separate Home Partition?

Jul 16, 2010

I will be helping a friend upgrade from 9.04 through to 10.04 LTS, and I am aware that the machine was installed with a separate home partition. I know a clean install is an option however I am tempted by online version upgrades with the thought that any apps they are using will be carried over. Is this a realistic hope? I know that medibuntu for example does not survive a version upgrade.

Ubuntu Installation :: Lost Access To Home After Clean Upgrade?

Oct 25, 2010

I used to use Ubuntu 9.10 for a year. I had my home path on different partition (19Gb) than the system partition (12Gb). Before I upgraded, the free space on Home partition (19Gb) was 6.3Gb. I knew that the direct upgrade is not good, so, I format the system partition (12Gb). Then, I install clean version of Ubuntu 10.04 on it. every thing is great. except that, I can not find my files in the old home path. In same time, Ubuntu is telling me that the Home partition (19Gb) (which I have not touch at all) has free space of 6.3Gb and used space of 11.3Gb. It means it can recognize that there is something but it can not open it at all.

system information:

Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)
Gnome 2.30.2
2.6.32-25-generic

Ubuntu Installation :: Lost Access To Encrypted Home After Upgrade?

I just tried reinstalling ubuntu 11.04 from the live disc, installation went well but afterwards I cannot get access to my home directory which is encrypted and I stupidly forgot to note the mount passphrase. is there anything I can do? where would the mount passphrase be stored from the previous installation and is there any chance of recoving it. Home and the root are on the same drive and the installation did not format the drive.
