Ubuntu Installation :: Install RELEASE And Software Manager Are Tweaking Out
May 26, 2011
I installed Natty Narwhal from a pendrive I set up, which was a bit of a messy install to begin with. However, after booting into Ubuntu, this application called "Install RELEASE" appears. When I run it, it shows up just like I'm installing Ubuntu again. After following it through, it will stop and say that it must unmount /. It offers two options, Go Back, or Continue. Picking either does nothing. This hasn't seemed too big an issue. I can still run it fine. However, the Software Centre is an issue. Whenever I try to download something from it, I get this error:

I'm running 8.04 on my desktop system. I haven't used it in quite awhile, but I logged in today to find 100+ updates and figured I may as well update the system.
Then I realized that unlike my other Ubuntu machines, I don't have a "New distribution release is available" prompt in the update manager.
I went ahead and ran the 100 updates and rebooted and still don't see that option.
What's the best way to upgrade to 9.10?

I was wondering if there was an easy way to do a fresh install from an old Fedora without using any media ? Maybe there is a possibility to boot the netinstall.iso from grub ?Or tweaking preupgrade to do an installation instead of an upgrade..

I downloaded the latest release, burned a disk and successfully booted. When it comes time to choose a partition I don't have the option of replacing the old release. I can install in parallel leaving both but can't use the whole disk. Interestingly enough I CAN replace the windows installation. Of course I already have Grub installed but I don't see how this would affect installing. I read the article here [URL] and it seems I may have missed a step. However it's implied I will lose the current Grub installation. Is that the case?

I can't install Ubuntu 11.04 32bit Desktop edition on my Dell Mini 10v. I followed the instructions from the Ubuntu website and made a bootable USB drive using the universal USB installer for windows. I put the usb drive on my netbook and prompted the boot options to boot from the usb drive. Once I got to the installation screen and attempt to install ubuntu on my hard drive it goes blank for a few moments, and a wall of text floods my screen and it stops installing.

I just installed the newest Ubuntu release through the update manager and, after the restart, GRUB won't load. Before GRUB would normally load I get the message: error: the symbol 'grub_xparts' not found grub rescue> How can I fix this? Background: Running an XP and Ubuntu dual boot with the two OSs on different hard discs.

Have just installed 10.04 in the lure to get 10.10, the latest release(Guys out there at the Launchpad have become SMART & thwarted an another attempt of mine to fetch a free CD again!)Update Manager shows up relevant updates of upto 301.something MBs in size BUT is not reflecting the latest release 10.10?!
Went to the settings to try out "Normal Release" under Release upgrade options, but nothing shows up on 10.10. When can I expect 10.10 start getting reflected within Update Manager?

I'm now using Ubuntu 9.04 and I think of upgrading it to version 10.04 (when it shall be "stable").I'd like to know if I am supposed to modify /etc/apt/sources.list with the name of the new version even though I upgrade by "update-manager-core" with the command sudo do-release-upgrade

i believe there was a ? and answer on how to modify U 10.04 so it will boot up with screens that look like it did on 9.01 or some other previous release. Looked through 175 posts on 10.04 install, but couldn't find it. Does anyone remember or know how to do this? The earlier release looked much better to me.

I'm planning to install Fedora 11 Release Candidate on my computer because I really need a working Linux system, right now. Once the final version is released, will I have to do a fresh install or do I just update the packages on my system to get the final version?

Preface: I have just bought two new WD20EARS hard drives and have added them into my LVM and moved all my data from my old failing seagate drives to my new drives. I also have a WD10EARS in the LVM.
These are WD Caviar Green Power 4K hard drives.
Using Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and LVM2, everything is working but I want to know if I can tweak it for more performance. I am relatively new.
Questions:
1. How can I check if the 4K drives are aligned?
2. How can I check what block size LVM is using?
3. I didn't partition one of the WD20EARS when adding it to a LV, will this be problematic or effect performance? Can I partition it without losing the data that is on it now?
4. I heard XFS is better than EXT4 for large files and people tend to suggest using certain formats when they're talking about LV's, if I check the format of any of the hard drives it says they are lvm2...?

If I install the factory release now, can I easily convert my system to a normal 11.3 point release later, after 11.3 is out? If so, how would I do it? (11.2 has an issue that affects me. It's fixed in 11.3 already, so I have to use 11.3 if I'm going to use openSUSE.)

I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to get the best speeds possible. I pay for 16mb/s connection (with charter) and I was getting about 4mb/s. After upgrading firmware, and changing some encryption settings on my router, that went up to about 6mb/s. It's improvement, and I'm happy with that, but I'm looking for that 10 more mb/s
So, is there anything in Ubuntu to tweak to optimize connection speeds? Also, if it affects anything, I'm using a linksys WRT320N router. I was going to use the 5.0ghz band, but my wireless adapter is an 802.11gb, so I'm stuck with 2.4.

I've recently switched from Windows to Ubuntu and have a question regarding tweaking the character order Nautilus uses for alphabetical sorting. In my music/graphics/etc folder hierarchies, I have used a hyphen at the start as a 'hack' to 'sticky' some folders above the rest for quicker access. This worked fine in Windows, but Nautilus ignores a hyphen in it's sorting calculations. Is there anyway, simple or complex to replicate this behaviour in Nautilus?

I have a script that runs my daily rsync, I would like to expand it to email the output, and on a fail, an alternate email address. Also I would like to have the seconds converted to HH:MM:SS if it's not a big deal. What I have so far is the extent of my abilities.
Code:
start=$SECONDS;
if rsync_output=$(rsync ...
then echo Success;
else echo Fail;
fi;
echo "$rsync_output"
echo time in seconds =$((SECONDS-start))

Is there a linux program I can use to extract audio, tweak it and then re-insert it into the video portion? I guess there will have to be a way to also sync the audio and video.

I've been trying for a couple of days to find out how to install the new release of amarok 2.4.0 in my Ubuntu 10.04. It looks like it is not supported! Is that true? I thought 10.04 was supposed to be a long term support release.Amarok 2.3.2 didn't really work for me, it was too buggy and it seems to be the only release i can install at the moment.

In the control center under System, I have the option: "Install RELEASE". Why do I have this? Yes, I did have Natty Beta2 previously, but since it's official release today I would assume I now have the Release Candidate installed as I have done all the available updates.

Reading the list of updates in my UNR 9.10 install I was quite surprised to see a few new installs in the list:
Distribution updates
alien
bsd-mailx
build-essential
debhelper
dpkg-dev
[Code]...
This looks wrong to me, what could cause it to push loads of dev/build tools and the redhat package manager on me? Edit: Unticking these also unticks a "google-chrome-beta" update below. Does this mean they are now dependencies of that package?

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 in November 2010 and used the windows installer to install it next to my Windows 7 OS. I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I am a beginner user and only Ubuntu when I need to run the terminal and text editor to create and test simple C++ files. Today, the install manager requested that I install critical updates so I left the default selected files and upgraded. The it asked to restart the system so I said yes. When it restarts it asks which OS to load:
1. Windows 7
2. Ubuntu
So I select Ubuntu then it displays some message about NTFS and quickly reboots (so i can't get to read the remaining message) the PC again. Uusually it would ask me to select the version of Ubuntu to load. Now my PC will only laod up Windows 7 so I can't get back into Ubuntu to dianose the problem.

I am running ubuntu 11.04 in classic mode with macubuntu theme and the avant window navigator. I am very impressed. I have downloaded kubuntu and have tried it from the live cd. The question I have, is can I also install this on my pc and choose at login which version to boot and do I install it from the cd at boot up or can I install it from the archive manager in ubuntu 11.04.
