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?

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.

I have 10.04 LTS installed with Kernel 2.6.32-25-generic-pae Gnome 2.30.2. I am not able to make my Epson ALCX11n working in a network. It worked in 8.10 and in 9.04, so I want to make a downgrade. Is this possible? With all the programs? Will this work with Grub?

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.

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?

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).

I recently Upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 (From Ubuntu 10.10). I decided I don't want to use Ubuntu 11.04, and now I want to go back to my previous version (10.10). Is there is a way to do this or I have to format my disk?

After upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 and consequently to Firefox 4.0, Firefox crashes repeatedly. I have not installed any plugins, or extensions or themes. I want to downgrade to Firefox 3.6, but there seems to be no easy way to do this other than downloading the binary from Mozilla. Is there any PPA from where I can get the lower version of Firefox?

The version of PHP installed on my Natty box is as follows :
However I require the use of PHP 5.1.6 for a certain environment scenario, the below link shows how to downgrade to PHP 5.2 from 5.3 by switching the lucid with karmic repos & using apt-get update [url]
A question: go from PHP 5.3 to 5.1, can I apply the same procedure as mentioned in the above link with the Ubuntu repos for PHP 5.1?? & if so which Ubuntu version repos do I need to replace with?

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).

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]....

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?

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.

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?

I have installed Ubuntu 10.10. Works good, but I would like to switch LTS-release-cycle. I can't burn CD, so I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 without cd or pendrive. I tried to install Ubuntu 10.04, using Ubuntu alternate cd and grub loader: [url] but it doesn't work (bugs in kernel modules) Is it possible to downgrade Ubuntu 10.10 to 10.04 without burning cd? Can i create new partition and house the installation disk?

I recently installed Fedora 10, having chosen that version in order to be able to use the packages created by the Planet CCRMA group for doing audio recording (they don't have F11 packages ready yet, AFAIK). Last weekend I got a prompt to upgrade my system, and I naively accepted it, not even realizing that it was an upgrade to F11.
The upgrade didn't work, for reasons that I still don't know (probably a video driver issue), but since I know the F10 installation worked, and Planet CCRMA is not up to F11 yet, I'd just like to downgrade myself back to F10.
Can I just re-install Fedora 10 from the DVD I used before, or will the F11 installation cause problems? I haven't really done any work that I mind losing, so I'm not too concerned about overwriting my previous installation.

I am having problems with 9.10 (first and foremost it won't boot properly, opens in low graphics mode only) and wishing I'd stuck with 9.04! Only find threads that didn't get answered or closed threads (including one about 'partial upgrades', which I did after booting in low graphics mode the first time. I am new to, or at least pretty green about Ubuntu and pretty much always install any updates offered - don't shoot me) Anyhow, I am hoping to avoid a full re-installation, but is there any way of going back, downgrading to 9.04?

I have used the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 for a while and am satisfied with it. The problem is when I watch video (Bloomberg) and listen to radio at the same time, it uses up a lot of memory (My PC has 3 GB of Ram). It degrades the performance of the PC. I also read that the only reason to use a 64 bit version is when a PC has 4 GB of Ram. Therefore, I wonder if it is possible to downgrade my current 64 bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 to a 32 bit version.

Last night I upgraded to Natty 11.04 and did not like it. I downgraded to 10.10.
I'm having a problem booting to a stable kernel. 11.04 uses 2.6.38. When I downgraded to 10.10, 2.6.38 was still at the top of Grub's list. When I boot there is a big black screen with a login and password. I was able to get to Ubuntu by holding down the shift key when rebooting and booted to 2.6.35-25-generic. I would rather not have to do this every time I turn on my computer. I went to Synaptic to delete 2.6.38, and did not see the version listed. I've read a lot (but I'm not a programmer). There isn't anything obvious (from this pea brain's perspective) to fix my problem.
