Ubuntu Installation :: Failing To Upgrade From Lucid To Meerkat?
Nov 21, 2010
I have upgraded this system 3 or 4 times from Lucid to Meerkat without any problems. After a nasty update to my Natty installation I have re-installed Lucid and am upgrading to Meerkat, then on to Natty again. However when I try to upgrade I am getting the error below.
Code:
2010-11-21 14:01:39,632 DEBUG running doUpdate() (showErrors=True)
2010-11-21 14:01:40,265 DEBUG openCache()

Well, this new issue when installing the new lucid relase iso seems to be closly related to my previous bug report refering to suspend and hybernate failing to power off, freezing at and of suspend/hybernate preperation. now what happens... installing ubuntu lucid 64bit, all gos perfect. finally i get the window begging me to reboot. i click reboot. window finsihes its work and disapears. that's it. screen is frozen with its purple background. no ctrl+alt+del, nor anything else works. only reset button. so it failed ro reboot like it fails to pwoer off for hybernate or suspend. on same machine this does not happen with karmic. it is a soley ubuntu lucid problem. any suggestion how to track that down? p.s. in my original thread and bug report i provided a pm-suspend.log that went all good till the last statement "powering off".

I was just wondering how long I have to upgrade to 11.04 until Maverick Meerkat is EOL. I have talked to other people, and they say to wait about a month until after the release to fix all bugs and stuff. Is this a good Idea? Or should I update now and just get it over with?

I updated my Ubuntu to Meerkat last night. everything seems to be working fine, except when i went to iplayer, it told me flash wasn't installed. I followed the link, and installed flash from APT source. In the software centre it is listed as installed. However, still cannot view flash videos.i have tried rebooting too.

I currently use Karmic Koala (9.10) and want to upgrade to Maverick Meerkat (10.10). The thing is that Update Manager allows me to upgrade only to 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) but I cannot upgrade to Lucid Lynx because of a bug which freezes my keyboard and mouse. Also, upgrading first to 10.04 and then to 10.10 is quite time consuming. Can I upgrade directly to 10.10 from 9.10 without 10.04 acting as a mediator?

Trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 but it keeps giving me errors... such as:
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
I've attached a gzipped copy of my dist-upgrade folder, anybody have any ideas what's going on?

I've made sure everything is patched current prior to the upgrade and have tried clearing out the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives/partial first as well to no avail.

I am experiencing difficulty with the screen resolution on my Asus X51L laptop. Currently I am using Lucid and everything works perfectly but when I attempted to dual boot Meerkat the screen went out of sync. I have tried Meerkat both as a live CD and a full install and in both instances the display does not fill the screen. I attach a photo of the display in the hope that it will assist.
When I use the laptop at home I attach it to a 21 inch screen and everything works a treat and strangely enough when working with Meerkat and displaying it on the large screen it will properly display. This only confuses me further. I am due shortly to go for a trip and as the display is not correct am not prepared to show Ubuntu as being improperly displayed to others.

I've tried to upgrade my FC8 on Presario F700 series laptop to FC 10 and facing some issues. I've a live CD (i386). Initially i tried upgrading FC 8 to FC 10 and installation was stuck around 30% completion saying its unable to fins libdbi-0.8.3-1.fc9.i386.rpm. Then I tried to install FC 10 from scratch as system went to inconsistent state and faced two issues with two different setup options -
1) when i selected necessary software to be installed for office use and development, it failed after installing 20% saying libgnomeui-devel-2.24.0-2.fc10.i386.rpm
2) i then opted for for software to be installed for office use (default option) then it failed after installing around 50% saying libXrandr-1.2.3-1.fc10.i386.rpm
im trying to understand if this is a problem due to my laptop configuration (AMD Athlon 64 X2 Duel Core) or due to issue with the live CD.

there's a way to update the OS from 10.04 to 10.10 without having to redo my LiveCD or something? Also I was wondering if, in doing this I can save my old ubuntu account with all of the extra apps I downloaded, and my files?

There are several things going on here. * Mouse jumps to the side when I click on things when zoom is activated. * After an upgrade in Lucid,I'd start up the computer and everything would be very slow. Windows would open from the bottom and I could not click on anything cause when I tried,the mouse would jump to the side. Zoom slow and clunky. Mouse fireball always turned off. I'd uninstall and reinstall Compiz and that would fix it for about three days and then it's back to the same problems. I end up having to click no effects then click effects (middle button) and it looks for drivers,then I have to reactivate the mouse fireball. This happened every day,day in day out. So I installed Meerkat Sat. and it was fine till this morning,now the same problem has reasserted itself.What can I do? Do I need a new video card?

I keep getting notified about the update to 11.04.
Is there any point in doing this if Meerkat works fine?
Will the upgrade delete my existing programs and or settings in things like i8kmon, etc.?

How are your experiences upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10? I'm thinking about it but I'm hesitating since there is no way I could make any backups and I've had some bad experiences with Debian dist-upgrades. Have you upgraded already? If so, have you had any trouble?

I'm trying to upgrade netatalk to the latest version because my Time Machine gets corrupted when the volume reaches its max capacity. How do I do it? I uninstalled netatalk, downloaded the latest package, made configure, make, make install (without any errors, just some warnings), but netatalk doesn't seem to run. I can't connect to the shares. If I install netatalk 2.1.2 via synaptic everything starts to work again. How to upgrade netatalk to the latest version on ubuntu 10.10?

I have an Asus K60 laptop with the Athlon chipset. I had wireless working just fine under Lucid. But after upgrading to Meerkat, I can't get my password to be recognized. The router connection is seen without any difficulty, but the WPA password is rejected every time. I've rechecked it, of course, and also checked that it works in the Windows partition on the same machine. I'm using wicd and madwifi, recompiled for the -35 kernel. Here's the relevant output of lspci:Quote:
02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Gigabit or Fast Ethernet (rev b0)

I have linux mint 9 installed and would like to upgrade to ubuntu 10.10 maverick meerkat without reformatting and reinstalling from cd.
update-manager -d is different to linux mint so I can't go the traditional ubuntu way of upgrading.
Can I at least convert to ubuntu 10.04 and then from that; upgrade to maverick meerkat?
If I woulda known it'd be this hard to try the new stuff out I woulda just stayed with ubuntu the whole time. Linux Mint is still cool anyway.

I'm currently upgrading my laptop, and it has completed the step "Getting new packages", and is now onto "Installing the upgrades".It says it is going to take another 2.5 hours, but I am leaving work soon and want to take the laptop with me. Is it safe to disconnect it from the internet at this point? I don't want to fudge up the install, but I don't want to have to leave my laptop at work all weekend (or have to come back and pick it up at some point).

I upgraded successfully last night from Hardy Heron to Lucid Lynx, but have no sound now. After searching around I can see that this is a fairly common problem. But none of the proposed solutions that work for other people have yet worked for me.
If I type 'alsamixer' at the command line, everything looks fine. There are no 'MM's indicating something being muted. I tried removing and reinstalling alsamixer and pulseaudio with no success. Edited lines 45 and 46 of /etc/pulse/default.pa with no luck.

I have a dual boot system with Win XP and Ubuntu (using grub boot menu). I recently upgraded my Ubuntu from 9.04 (Jaunty) to 10.04 (Lucid) and now I cannot boot into Ubuntu - I just get a desktop with no icons or disk activity. I think this may have something to do with the fact that I answered 'no' when asked whether to replace my menu.1st file, and possibly some others. So my boot menu still refers to 9.04.
