This was my first attempt at compiling a program from source. Maybe I should have picked something easier but I am trying to install gutenprint (formerly gimp print)so I can use my new Epson scanner/printer.Should I remove this thing and start over?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to setup a print server on Debian Lenny. This dedicated server is connected to an USB printer (Epson Stylus Office BX300f).
I've successfully installed cups and the guttenprint drivers from the repositories but then realized that I needed to upgrade the printer drivers if I wanted to get support for my USB printer. Thus, I built and installed the latest version of Guttenprint (5.2.6) from the sources but this procedure has not added any new driver (ppd files) into cups. I've read that cups-genppd and cups-genppdupdate must be used in order to generate the necessary ppd files and update them into the cups folders.
Well, I can find cups-genppd.5.0 and cups-genppdupdate.5.0 in /usr/sbin but I wonder if these binaries are related to the old drivers (gutenprint 5.0.2) and not to the new ones (gutenprint 5.2.6).
Anyway, I'm a bit messed with this stuff. I've read the man pages but there are very few examples explaining how to upgrade drivers in cups.
Ubuntu Karmic worked fine on my computer when it was first released but now doing a fresh install on my computer is totally impossible. The hardware is all the same.If I attempt to install from Live mode - karmic freezes when it's configuring Apt and ubiquity-dm crashes when installing direct from boot.I have switched to Mint but I would like to go back go to Ubuntu.

I'm a big convert on using Ubuntu on my x86/x64 machines.I have a nice IBM Intellistation 185 Power PC (ppc) with dual 970 processors and 8gb of ram (and 3 SCSI 300 MB drives).I tried to install Ubuntu 9.10 on it (the PPC distro) and it gets to the boot prompt, asks me how I want to install (I can choose "live" or "install", etc..). No matter which option I choose (I've tried them all) it hangs after trying to start the kernel at "returning from prom_init".
NI've also tried other distros to see where that got me - Debian does the exact same thing as Ubuntu (which makes sense). Yellow Dog Linux actually will install and run fine(I'm writing this from Firefox 3 in YDL). Since YDL works, I'd think that a version of Debian/Ubuntu should be able to work.Any ideas on how to debug this and find out why Ubuntu won't install (or even run the Live CD?)

2. I want to install a Home Server from the DVD but I don't know how to select the server edition to install ? Do I still need to download the CD image for the server edition ? I want to be able to select one or more of the automatic server installation scripts e.g. LAMP.
I'm running a triple-core AMD 32-bit CPU, with two matched hard drives in a software RAID 1 configuration. The system is single-boot, running Hardy only. I have no Windoze compatibility issues to impede me. In some recent posts, I discussed my desire to add a few non-standard applications to Hardy. Well, it hasn't been working for me. I've succeeded in breaking my standard Python 2.5 installation, and the Python 2.6 that I was trying to install is also broken. After asking questions in various Python forums and not getting answers, I'm starting to think about my alternatives.
I have backed up all my hard-drive data, and downloaded Karmic. I'm running from the Live CD. I am considering a clean install, though of course I would save a lot of time if I could just upgrade.
Before I leap, I see one possible problem: Karmic has failed to mount any of my hard drive partitions, as RAID or otherwise. Should I worry? When I upgraded from Dapper to Hardy on an older (non-RAID) machine, I recall that my hard disk mounted from the Live CD just fine.
Also, am I correct in understanding that Karmic is RAID-aware right out of the box? I'm wondering if I'll have to set it up manually again. That took me a while. By the way, I didn't set up separate partitions for boot, root and home (stupid me). Can I do that after the fact during an upgrade?

I just installed Karmic Koala on one of my hard harddrive. The other disk has Windows XP. Previously I had a working dual-boot setup, but after problems with Ubuntu I reinstalled it. On booting, I get the following:
Code:
Grub Loading stage1.5
Grub loading, please wait...
Error 2
There is no Grub menu which might allow me to drop to a Grub prompt and evaluate. This occurs whether I boot with the Ubuntu harddrive or re-set the BIOS to boot with the Windows harddrive. If I boot with a LiveCD, I see that both my Ubuntu and Windows harddrives exist and are readable; the Ubuntu was indeed wiped clean and reinstalled; the issue is with the boot process. How can I set this up to boot?
On my iSCSI booted server, the standard Karmic Server install CD installs a system that won't boot.This is caused by a bug in the initscripts. This bug is solved in an update of this package. How do I get the updated version of the initscripts package on my install CD?

View 7 Replies View Relatedi have Karmic installed with Wubi inside a Vista NTFS filesystem. Yesterday i did an apt-get dist-upgrade and Karmic never booted again. It won't even show the grub kernel list, it just shows some really quick text that vanishes before i can even figure out what it is and then drops to some sort of grub shell and then i can't figure out what to do.
I could boot a livecd and mount my karmic install and everything seems fine, the filesystem is clean and all that. But how do i fix it so it can boot again?
Does anyone here know wtf happened? Was there a bad upgrade or something?
I've never tried installing any other operating system on my desktop so I'm not sure if it's a 9.10 bug (probably not), but whenever I choose any of the options after the ubuntu cd has been loaded at startup it goes to a black screen with the underscore at the top, and promptly reboots. At this point in time I can just boot back into windows or get to the same selection screen off of the cd.I've tried burning 3 seperate cd's and at the moment and trying to boot them on my laptop (but not working... hrm). I'm thinking about redownloading the iso in a couple minutes.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu9.10 on a USB hard drive attached to my laptop. Laptop has pre-installed XP in the in-built hard-drive. Point to be noted is that my hard-drive is protected via encryption software called Pointsec.
The installation of Ubuntu on the USB hard drive went through fine and I'm able to boot Ubuntu from it.
But now the problem is, GRUB2 fails to detect the Windows XP installation.
Can someone tell me how I can force GRUB2 to boot Windows XP from hd0,0?
The GRUB1 way of configuring /etc/grub/menu.lst does NOT seem to work with GRUB2.
I have an etch-based Xen server that has several Xen domU's on it. All the domU's are etch or lenny based, but I'd like to install a karmic guest. I use xen-tools to install my domU's - e.g., xen-create-image --debootstrap <etc.>After much googling, I've found bits and pieces of info that have gotten me closer to the goal, but the debootstrap script I have is for hoary (I think etch came with this), and I'm pretty sure this won't work.
If you have been able to successfully install a Karmic guest on an etch or lenny host, I'd be very grateful for pointers.
I have not been able to install a linux distro since 9.04. Karmic and lynx both freeze on install. (screen gets glitchy) I am a total noob when it comes to anything beyond installing.

I'm running Karmic Server with GRUB2 on a Dell XPS 420. Everything was running fine until I changed 2 BIOS settings in an attempt to make my Virtual Box guests run faster. I turned on SpeedStep and Virtualization, rebooted, and I was slapped in the face with a grub error 15. I can't, in my wildest dreams, imagine how these two settings could cause a problem for GRUB, but they have. To make matters worse, I've set my server up to use Luks encrypted LVMs on soft-RAID. From what I can gather, it seems my only hope is to reinstall GRUB. So, I've tried to follow the Live CD instructions outlined in the following article (adding the necessary steps to mount my RAID volumes and LVMs). [URL]
If I try mounting the root lvm as 'dev/vg-root' on /mnt and the boot partition as 'dev/md0' on /mnt/boot, when I try to run the command $sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/md0, I get an errors: grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. This is a BAD idea. grub-setup: error: Embedding is not possible, but this is required when the root device is on a RAID array or LVM volume.
Somewhere in my troubleshooting, I also tried mounting the root lvm as 'dev/mapper/vg-root'. This results in the grub-install error: $sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/md0 Invalid device 'dev/md0'
Obviously, neither case fixes the problem. I've been searching and troubleshooting for several hours this evening, and I must have my system operational by Monday morning. That means if I don't have a solution by pretty early tomorrow morning...I'm screwed. A full rebuild will by my only option.
What's the right direction or give me step by step on how to do this?

I've upgraded the generic kernel of my Xubuntu Karmic AMD64 persistent USB installation with the ubuntustudio realtime kernel (2.6.31.9.10).

IEs4Linux 2 is developed to be used with recent Wine versions (0.9.x). It seems that you are using an old version. It's recommended that you update your wine to the latest version (Go to: winehq.com). So I removed wine and installed version 1.0.1, which resulted in the same error. Is this wine version too new? even if it doesn't involve ies4linux.

I just recently upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic and now I can't seem to get the nvidia drivers to work properly. It originally came up in low graphics mode and said that the 190 driver was installed, but it didn't work properly so I disabled it.After rebooting, the 190 driver will never properly activate. I tried launching jockey-gtk and it tells me to see /var/log/jockey.log which shows:
Code:
2010-05-16 08:54:58,054 DEBUG: Installing package: nvidia-glx-190
2010-05-16 08:54:58,778 ERROR: XorgDriverHandler.enable(): package or module not installed, aborting
I wasn't able to get the 185 drivers either until I did a manual apt-get install nvidia-glx-185. Then it eventually worked and nvidia-xconfig got my xorg.conf updated and correct. So now the 185 drivers are installed (though jockey-gtk does NOT show those drivers in green -- it doesn't think that I have any of the drivers enabled so all of the little bubbles show up as grey). The 185 drivers are definitely installed though (185.18.36 to be exact) and Compiz is enabled, desktop effects are on, etc.
Any idea what is up with this? Why doesn't jockey show the drivers that are installed and more importantly, how come I cannot install the 190 drivers? I tried doing it via apt but this is what it tells me:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-190
