Ubuntu Installation :: How To Stick With LTS Maverick

Oct 31, 2010

I want to stay with release 10.10 (maverick) until the support expires. So how should I configure 'software sources' so that I don't get offered to upgrade to the next release (11.04?). When on 10.04, I had the 'show new distribution releases' set to 'Long term support releases only', but it didn't offer the upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 unless I changed it to 'Normal releases'. Should I now be setting it back to 'Long term support releases only' in order to stay with maverick? What would I miss out on if I do that?

Ubuntu Installation :: Troubleshooting Maverick Installation On IBM T42?

Nov 6, 2010

Installed Maverick on a T42 (Pentium M 1.70GHz, 1GB RAM, 20GB harddrive with 3.5GB available space) and everything is fine - except machine freezes occasionally and will not respond to anything except power cycling. Fires back up again and works fine until it happens again. It seems to happen when I am using any browser. Being new to Linux and Ubuntu, I have no idea how to even begin diagnosing the problem. Can anyone help or point me towards a tutorial on troubleshooting this installation?

Ubuntu Installation :: Gnome 3 PPA For 10.10 Maverick?

Apr 23, 2011

I tested 11.04 for a couple of days, and it was (my opinion, of course,) terrible! I want to try out Gnome Shell, but I'd rather do so on my 10.10 install, instead of having to mess with the mess of 11.04. Anybody know of a PPA that works with 10.10?

Ubuntu Installation :: No Display On Boot With Maverick 10.10

Oct 11, 2010

I just upgraded my laptop to 10.10 and now when I boot the display doesn't show anything. This laptop worked flawlessly on 10.04. I can tell the underlying system is fine, because if I type my boot password the hard disk activity picks up like it is continuing to boot, and CTRL+ALT+DEL reboots the computer as one would expect. When I boot using an old kernel (a leftover from 10.04 I think) via GRUB the system boots normally. What can I do about this? My laptop is an HP Elitebook 2730p. According to the specs it uses an Intel GMA 4500MHD for graphics. I am using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 Maverick Upgrade Steps?

Oct 18, 2010

I am still booting from my Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, and I want to upgrade to 10.04 Maverick Meerkat without losing any of the files, and work I have done so far. I have discussed this with a friend, and he has informed me that I can do this by going to the upgrade manager in the ADMINISTRATION menu under SYSTEM. He told me all I had to do was click install, and it would install all of the packages for me, and automatically upgrade everything to 10.10 without any loss of files and information. Is this true? Also currently I am dual booting from Windows XP, and Lucid Lynx. I have a 32 bit processor, Intel Dual Core.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Boot After Upgrade To Maverick?

Nov 19, 2010

I just upgraded my old laptop to Maverick, and something went wrong. The update process crashed near the end. I had to kill the window. Tried to do a dist-upgrade but nothing happened, so I rebooted. After the reboot, I got a black screen, showing "Disconnected from Plymouth", and a login prompt. But the keyboard is disabled, so I can't even log in. If I try the recovery mode, I get a menu with options to get to a command line, but the keyboard is still disabled (only Ctrl-Alt-Del works).I already had a similar error in Lucid: the black screen with the Plymouth error showed up, but after a few seconds X started anyway and everything went fine. Now I'm stuck.

Ubuntu :: Unstable Maverick Meerkat Installation

Dec 21, 2010

I've been running Ubuntu on an IBM Thinkpad T42 for about 3 years and have never had any instability but my Meerkat upgrade 10.10 about a week ago has never been right and seems to be getting worse. It's almost impossible to use the Internet. Whether Epiphany or Firefox, the screen keeps going grey and regularly freezes the computer completely so that NO keyboard commands work and only a hard restart will do. I also have problems streaming audio feeds with RP 11 or VLC. VLC is more of a problem which I find odd as it is solid in Windoze.

PS The instability isn't only Internet related. There are lots of strange little things like authentication windows not closing after I enter password and hit Enter or click OK, not being able to paste in Terminal (sometimes not others), toolbard in apps appearing differently sometimes, stuff like that.

Ubuntu Installation :: Skype Freezes On Maverick?

Jan 22, 2011

I have been trying to fix skype for a while now and it's failing to resolve anything. It's like skype is frozen in time, and stops workings.

I've tried this method, sudo chmod ugo+r libpulse.so.0.12.2 [URL]

More details on the freezing issue: Skype freezes [kinda], it's like it's frozen in time, but I can click on the interface and change options, but nothing changes, it shows that the same friends are online even though they have signed off, I can message them but a yellow '!' mark appears by the message.

My Error:

Quote:

(<unknown>:987: Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

(<unknown>:987: Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'ibus' failed

How are people getting skype to work with their maverick box?

Ubuntu 10.10 x64
Skype 2.1.0.81

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Install Packages In Maverick (10.10)?

Feb 4, 2011

I decided to give a new download of Ubuntu 10.10 a chance. It went on fine,I even installed VirtualBox with noi problem, But I am light on assessories,particularly gimp. I tried the Ubuntu Software Center, then I tried the Synaptic Package Manager for this and other packages, and guess what? I kept getting errors like this:dpkg: failed to read on buffer copy for copy info file `/var/lib/dpkg/available': Input/output error
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)I even found a link that showed how to include gimp on 10.04 or 10.10 with a few command line statement, and I thought that would fly, but I got the same error again. Another problem is that my monitor keeps fading to a sort of blue-gray color indicating the processor is having trouble keeping up, but I have only FireFox running, and the keyboard locks up after after just a a smaill handful of charactrers are typed, then after about 10 seconds or so, the keyboard buffer flushes to the screen.

This certainly is not typical of earlier Ubuntu versions, and I wonder if anybody else has similar problems or knows the cause and cure.I am down to the point of asking myself, what is so urgent with the Ubuntu developers that we are having more and more conflicts between hardware and software to resolve with each new release? And that they are pulling more and more packages out of the LiveCD in order to make room for something that is bulking up in some other manner? What are you people up to, make Ubuntu more like Windows with coming releases? If I wanted Windows, I would stick with or get a newer version of Windows.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade To 11.04 Until Maverick Meerkat Is EOL?

May 12, 2011

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?

Ubuntu Installation :: No Upgrade Option In Maverick?

Jun 3, 2011

I have no option to upgrade in the update manager. I suspect that this has something to do with the fact that I haven't been able to install a number of updates for a while (I receive the Partial Upgrade error message). Is there any other safe way to upgrade that can bypass this problem?

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Run Unr 9.1 From Usb Stick

Feb 10, 2010

I copied the unr 9.10 iso to my usb stick fine using the program from pendrivelinux for ubuntu 9.1. I think it worked well, because it now has a ubuntu logo on the usb and says "install ubuntu netbook remix." When I get to the BIOS menu and to the boot options, I get a box which says three things: SDD slot, D: drive, and disabled (maybe talking about the D)When I press enter on the D: drive nothing happens. When I say to save configuration and exit it goes right to xp again. I have no idea what to do... I'm on an EEEpc 1005-HA running xp.

Ubuntu Installation :: Using SD Card / Not USB Stick For Installation

Jun 28, 2011

i am trying to reinstall Ubuntu from an SD card on my still alive and kicking Eee Pc 901 Go. I know this is working since i have done it before, when creating the startup disc, i just put it on the SD card instead of an USB stick. As i said; it have worked before, to boot and install from the SD card but for some reason when i restart nothing happens, just normal restart and yes; i have checked the boot order so it isn't that, 1:st boot priority is "external device", which would be the same as USB or SD card, and again, i have easily installed from SD card before so i can't understand why nothing happens now, has something changed?

Ubuntu Installation :: Maverick - Wireless Broken On ASUS EEE PC 901

Oct 1, 2010

When booting from the netbook USB, there are two wireless connection stages:

the first appears at the "TRY/INSTALL" selection screen, and after supplying the keyring password, the connection appears to succeed.

the second appears on the desktop, after selecting "TRY"; the keyring dialogue appears & seems to work, but then the network login dialogue pops up, and refuses to connect.

Both my Acer machines connect to the same AP under Maverick and the EEE PC works in Lucid.

Ubuntu Installation :: Broke Apache When Upgrading To Maverick

Oct 13, 2010

While upgrading to 10.10, I opted to keep my apache conf files as they were (since I forgot to back them up before starting) and now apache isn't happy at all. At first it just wasn't working, so I backed up my entire /etc/apache2 dir, ran

Code:
'sudo apt-get purge apache2'
and then deleted all references and left over config files, then ran

Code:
'sudo apt-get install apache2'
and still apache wasn't working - in fact it did not seem to properly/completely reinstall with all dependencies.

Next I went through in Synaptic and removed a bunch of stuff myself, tried another apt-get purge and install, and still nada. Next I tried:

Code:
'sudo aptitude purge apache2'
which seemed to run a little more robustly. So naturally next I ran

Code:
'sudo aptitude install apache2'
and though it seemed to install everything appropriately, apache was not started and trying to run

Code:
'sudo service apache2 start'
I get an unrecognised service error.

When trying to directly run

Code:
'sudo /usr/sbin/apache2'
I get

Code:
'apache2: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: No such file or directory'

Which is true, it does not exist but I don't understand why it's not reinstalling properly. Luckily this is just a local test server and I don't need to right now, but it would be good to get it back up and running. Could this really be all because I didn't replace my old files with the new conf files?
