Ubuntu Installation :: How To Downgrade From Lucid-proposed

Apr 30, 2011

I no longer want that my system is updated from pre-released updates(lucid proposed). About 50 packages are from lucid proposed and i want to downgrade them all. I know how to downgrade a package but i don't know how to downgrade all the packages at once (so that all 50 packages would be downgraded simultaneously).

Ubuntu :: Downgrade GDM To 2.20 In 10.04 Lucid?

Sep 9, 2010

The result After following these instructions you'll get:

-GDM 2.20, with all the features(themes, feature complete, configurable...)

-No Plymouth, or any graphical boot (haven't found a way to run old gdm along with Plymouth)

These instructions are based on this post [URL] but they won't work on Lucid 10.04 Download GDM 2.20 on this link. Remove gdm and install the downloaded package.

Code:

sudo apt-get remove gdm
sudo dpkg -i gdm*.deb
sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.bak

Run these commands (related to a bug in this package):

Code:

cd /usr
sudo mkdir X11R6
cd X11R6
sudo ln -s /usr/bin bin

Disable the graphical boot (reason: Plymouth loads X, and old gdm can't connect, fixes are welcome)

-Edit /etc/default/grub and change

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"

to

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"

Run:

Code:

sudo update-grub2

Ubuntu :: Downgrade Natty 11.04 To Lucid 10.04

Jul 23, 2011

Is there a way to downgrade from Ubuntu Natty 11.04 to Lucid 10.04? I recently upgraded and I despise it with a passion. I do not want to just change to Gnome and stop using Unity. This simply sweeps everything under the carpet. Alternatively, can I reinstall 10.04 on top of 11.04 but keep ALL my settings, files everything? How?

I would like to reinstall the linux kernels, headers, everything.

Is there some kind of command like:

sudo do-release-downgrade

or something?

or

sudo apt-get install lucid-something-blah-blah-blah-weird-command

Ubuntu Installation :: Undo Tracking Proposed Updates?

Jan 4, 2010

In the "software sources" windows under the "Updates" tab I have checked "Pre-released updates" and installed all the updates. I no longer want to track the proposed updates and have unchecked that item. Now am back to just security and recommended checked. How do i get it to downgrade the packages that it has modified when I had "Pre-released" checked? I want to get back on the stable "Recommended Updates". It seems to have changed what it looks at for updates but did not downgrade the packages.

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Downgrade To 10.04

Oct 16, 2010

how is it possible to downgrade to the Ubuntu 10.04 from Ubuntu 10.10?

I have two reasons for doing it:

1. My internal microphone stopped working in new kernel (ThinkPad Egde 13')

2. New Ubuntu's look and feel is ugly.

Probably this problem may be solved with installing the theme, but it seems not to affect the font, which is the most terrible thing in new release's design. Is it possible to have the 10.04's look and feel here in 10.10?

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Downgrade To 10.10

Apr 29, 2011

When you get to the login screen at the bottom there is a box where you can select "Ubuntu Classic" and that will take you to a Gnome 2.3 desktop.I just updated to 11.04 which is so disappointing.It is like I am coming from multi-thread world back to single-thread world. Any in one workspace, you can only do one thing: either surfing internet or something else, but you cannot do both at the same time.On 10.10, we can do multiple things simultaneously and we can switch between each other easily. Now the good feature of 10.10 is completely discarded.

Ubuntu :: Kernel (2.6.34) Which Is Not Proposed In Apt-get Update?

Aug 15, 2010

Probably a simple question, but i was wondering why is there a new kernel available (2.6.34) which is not proposed in apt-get update? Now I've got to download .deb files and upgrade manually. I would like to be able to install unstable / testing releases for packages. I have checked everything in software sources, but I still don't get the newest kernel proposed. Another question: what are "backports"?

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Downgrade From 10.10 Back To 10.04

Oct 27, 2010

How to downgrade from 10.10 back to 10.04? I had 10.04 and was using this for a while and was very happy with this release. though recently I upgraded to 10.10. Since doing so, My screen flickers very annoyingly every 10 seconds or so. I've searched the forms best I could and it appears some other are having this problem and there really is no fix at this time, but to go back to 10.04 - so that is where I am at this moment.

Ubuntu Installation :: Downgrade Back From 10.04 LTS To 8.04 LTS?

Nov 5, 2010

I upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 LTS using the update manager and the result is that ubuntu boots into a black screen. Unfortunately I did not test 10.4 before with the Desktop CD, which I tried now, with the same result: black screen. So most likely a hardware screen card issue... which I did really not expect since 8.04 was running very well and the update was coming from the update mananger. Never change a running system. I assume my only chance is to re-install version 8.04 with the iso CD. But before doing so, is there any must-not to keep an eye on?

Ubuntu Installation :: Downgrade From 11.04 Alpha To 10.10?

Mar 12, 2011

how/if I can downgrade my dual-boot partition (win-7/11.04) to 10.10 without having to reformat the entire disk?

Can I use the same partition I installed the alpha 11.04 on to install 10.10 and save myself a lot of work?

Is it possible to simply reformat the Ubuntu Linux partition and re-install 10.10 there while preserving my Windows 7 installation?

Can I keep the newer GRUB boot loader for 11.04 (I like it better), or will I be forced to downgrade that as well?

I just tried the alpha, and I can't use it. It's still too green, so I want to go back to 10.10 the easiest way possible, so I'd need a little detail on the process of using the advanced partition features (if this is even possible).

Ubuntu :: List Of Proposed Updates In Terminal Apt-Get?

Ubuntu Installation :: Tutorial - Downgrade To Firefox4 On 11.04

Jul 8, 2011

For compatibility reasons, a developer do not always need the newest software version that just poped up on the market.
In my case, right now, the WebDriver Test our Selenium Test framework doesn't work on Firefox5 that i automatically got thanks the Ubuntu Update manager. I had to search few hours on Internet and finally ask a more experimented college which told me about this solution:

first of all, uninstall firefox5:

Code:

sudo aptitude purge firefox

then, you can list the available software versions : sudo apt-cache policy <software_name>

Code:

msauvette@msauvette:~$ sudo apt-cache policy firefox
firefox:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 4.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu3

[code]....

Ubuntu Installation :: Downgrade To Firefox Older Version In 10.04?

May 8, 2010

I just upgraded to 10.04, and am quite happy with it so far, but it installed Firefox 3.6, which is a problem for me because I need to be able to use the Jssh plugin, which isn't available for 3.6 yet. All I need to do is downgrade Firefox to 3.5, but I seem to be having some issues, it seems that there is only the one version available to me in Synaptic. Is there another repository that I need to add to have access to an older version?

Ubuntu Installation :: Swap File Management Or Downgrade

Jun 28, 2010

Alright, I just wanted to see if this would even work, so I installed Ubuntu Lucid Linx 10.04 on a 2001 Sony Vaio with 1.7 Ghz. Intel P4 processor and, yes you're reading this correctly, only 256 MB of PC2100 Ram. I dumped in my own PCI wlan card and 64 MB Radeon 9000 Pro AGP card, then I did the installation.

Although I already ordered 2 mem chips (512 MB each) for this system which will max it out, I also created a 5 GB swap partition since I figured that this would greatly enhance the installation and consequent usage thereafter. Now mind you, the installation of 32bit Lucid worked like a charm. Slower than normal, but like a charm. Wifi is working and even the 3D desktop settings are working in advanced mode. BUT the system is just way too slow to react to the mouse and keyboard. I'm certain that the lack of memory has a lot to do with that although I was secretly hoping that the huge swap file would help to make a big perfomance difference. So here now my questions:

1. The swap file doesn't really appear to have made any difference at all. How come?
2. If I wanted to "downgrade" to Xubuntu, how would I accomplish this?
3. Would it be a better idea to just start over with an installation of Crunchbang instead?

I'm trying to get this system working for a relative who's never had a computer before. Whatever I end up with on this machine has to be as simple as possible to use while maintaining some semblence of decent perfomance. I'm sure before too long they'll want to enhance their desktop looks/theme as well so consideration needs to be given to that too. Your suggestions and comments would be appreciated. Again, Ubuntu Lucid runs just fine, although really really slow. Internet is no problem.

Ubuntu Installation :: Home Folder Is Not Recognized After Downgrade

Apr 29, 2011

I downgraded from 11.10 to 10.10 via installation CD, because the 11.10 installation was lost beyond recovery.

The 10.10 installation works fine except one problem During the installation, I selected manual setup of Partitions and my home partition was not recognized as /home but only as ext4.

Fortunately I managed to recognize it, due to the size of the partition, so I prevented this partition from being formatted.Now, this partition is not my home partition, but just an ordinary partition, which I can access and where all my files are present.Anybody knows any magic trick, how I can make this partition my home partition?
