I had an old machine running Feisty.I followed the EOL guides and upgraded from 7.04 => 7.10 => 8.04 => 8.10 (intrepid).Now that I'm at intrepid, I want to use the update manager to upgrade to 9.04 (Jaunty). Whenever I launch update manager (System->Administration->Update Manager) everything looks fine until I choose "New distribution release '9.04' is available" and click the Upgrade button.
At this point, Update Manager complains and says "Could not find the release notes" "The server may be overloaded". I'm assuming this could be a faulty URL somewhere, but I wouldn't know where. My sources.list seems to work fine for regular intrepid updates, so not sure there would be anything there that could be the fault. Once I get this error, I can only click "close".
Extracting the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. Obviously, my general networking is fine (or I wouldn't be able to post this message)..and again, standard updates work fine.Any insight into what is causing this (or maybe how Update Manager works so that I might try a bit of debugging myself?
i'm still on Intrepid (i know, i'm behind the times) and i've been poking around for simple-straightforward info on how to upgrade my VLC 0.9.4 to 1.x.....but everything i've found seems to assume one is already on Jaunty at least. even videolan.org has simple-straightforward info for upgrading VLC for all distros as far back as Hardy....except for Intrepid. and i'm half-tempted to just try following the steps given for those who are on Jaunty and just seeing what happens.....though i also can't help but think that it may be dangerous to do that. does it even matter at all which ubuntu version i'm on, and i'm worrying about it for nothing? xD
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble with some qt-based apps that did work previously but now do not. So far I've seen this with Skype, VLC and umbrello. Applications appear to execute but GUI never seems to initialise. CPU remains around 90%. I'm using an eeepc 1000H running ubuntu intrepid 8.10 with adam's kernel 2.6.27-8-eeepc. Any ideas on how I can debug this? As I mentioned these applications worked fine in the past, I'm guessing an update broke them.

I still use Intrepid 8.10 on one of my older machines and have tried, but in vain, to install some rar compression software from the repos. It seems as if the specified repo for 8.10 is now end of life Would anyone know of where I could download a .deb file containing an older version of rar which would install correctly on by box ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know it's kind of my fault but I have this problem. I have two machines running Intrepid. I should have upgraded them in due time but what's done is done. Now I need to install some packages there but the Intrepid is no longer supported - Intrepid repositories are no longer available.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI decided to report what happened me lately so that someone more clever could find the hole in the latest ubuntu. So: I have a machine connected 24/7 on high speed network. i had karmic on it. i ran openssh and apache2 (without any mod, plain apache2) on it. In addition i ran firefox, ktorrent, and amule on it. Nothing else. The system didnt have any rule in iptables.
Recently chkrootkit signaled a SuckIT rootkit in the system. I was scared, i googled for it and i saw that on ubuntu this actually happened and it was a false positive. Ok, i kept going. Yesterday i nmapped myself and i found an open port around 64000 that i couldnt see with netstat -atpnl so i concluded i was actually infected and erased the drive and tried to install lucid alpha2 so, one day of lucid,
- with a firewall this time that let open only the port 22 and 80 from internet
- with only openssh as service (no apache2)
- ran firefox3.6 , ktorrent and amule , nothing else
chkrootkit didnt find anything
debsums reported
debsums: changed file /sbin/initctl (from upstart package)
i did an apt-get install --reinstall upstart and that file didnt warn anymore. So i concluded there must be some kind of vulnerability either in
a) firefox
b) ktorrent
c) amule
I wanted to know anyone's experience with the new deb package ncomputing released for Intrepid. I've used their products and fought my way through to make them work. I was able to get ncomputing to work for a short while with intrepid, but upon installing the video drivers (and rebooting) the l230 hasn't been able to connect to any other host. (With Intrepid running). I've updated the firmware but the box still refuses to connect, for awhile it would say TS error (....). The system log only showed,
Date SystemName ncltsd [6198]: ERROR: NULL == video
[18043]: ERROR: SrvCli.CreateSession () failed! (3211426, 1869984)
Any help I can get would be much appreciated. If I forgot anything of I apologize, as you probably noticed it's my first time using the forum and I have only been using Ubuntu for a little less than a year.
I would like to add Ubuntu 8.10 as a dual boot option to my Ubuntu 10.04 installation. It is not immediately obvious to me how to do so, because running the CD installation will presumably overwrite Grub2 with Grub (and might not successfully boot 10.04).
How do I install 8.10 without overwriting my Grub2, and then add 8.10 to the Grub2 menu?
I had Orca installed for absolutely no reason, and I decided to start it and try playing with the text to speech. It wasn't interesting and I closed it. Now that I've restarted the computer, in GNOME sound doesn't work for certain things (VLC, Firefox). I uninstalled Orca because it auto-started on log-in and the preferences would freeze when I tried to change them. I read about a problem in 9.10 where there is some file taht disabled pulseaudio, I don't see it and I am using 8.10 anyways. :/
EDIT: I've re-installed Orca and edited the preferences fine this time, but the sound still doesn't work for VLC and Firefox. Now I've completely uninstalled Orca from synaptic and it still doesn't work. The sound test works fine, though. I'm sure there is some configuration file Orca added something to, but I don't know how to find it.
Just installed latest Ubuntu (intrepid Ibex) on my DFI Ultra Infinity II system. It has onboard audio via a Realtek ACL650 chipset. Unfortunately, no sound. Have searched various forums, etc. and found recommendations to download the ALSA driver from realtek, but those posts are from ~2007 and the drivers are dated from back then as well. Nobody present-day seems to be suffering audio problems with this motherboard or chipset. I did install the 2007 realtek driver, but no change. What logs can I check?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from jaunty to intrepid. The upgrade tool went through everything without a hitch and when it finished it told me to restart my computer. When I did, ubuntu began to boot, got past the initial loading splash screen, but immediately after, before the login splash, the screen freezes with some strange graphics glitch and refuses to work from there. How can I fix this to any workable state, upgraded or not?

I'm using Wicd network manager, on Ubuntu Intrepid, on a Toshiba Satellite laptop.
I installed Wicd, and incorrectly tried to set Static IP information on my Linksys network.
I unchecked both the Static IP and Manual DNS entry boxes, but whenever I try to connect it still tries to use the incorrect Static IP settings.
I have removed and re-installed Wicd, and for some reason it maintains the incorrect settings! What can I do?
I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu, but before I do that I'd like to know if installing it removes your copy of Windows. If it does, is there any way I can work around that?

NOTE: THIS IS A MODIFIED VERSION OF A TUTORIAL FOUNDHERE. I AM NOT RESONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PS3These instructions were only tested on a 40GB ps3 phat running firmware 3.15 NOT connected to the internet and I can personally confirm this works There are more accurate guides available for those who want to install 7.10 or 8.04. Following this guide will probably be fine, but for more details follow those links!Guide to installing Ubuntu 10.04 on the PS3 Many people installing Ubuntu 10.04 on there PS3 have been encountering mounting problems where after a successful installation of Ubuntu, the system boots up only to detect no drives with linux installed.
The PS3 has a unique feature that allows you to install a third-party operating system on the console. Because of its popularity and ease of use, Ubuntu Linux is a good choice. By installing Ubuntu, your PlayStation 3 becomes much more than just a game console. You can use it as a home computer (running desktop applications), a web- or file server, play media files, and run applications like Firefox, Open office and multimedia tools.
Installing Ubuntu 10.04 on the PS3 will take several hours (3-4 for me). The process involves three steps:
Formatting PS3 to run Linux
Installing Ubuntu
Setting up your PS Ubuntu installation
Set up your PS3 to run Linux You have to format your PS3 hard drive to install Ubuntu. You will probably want to back up your save games! You will also need to let go of some 10GB of disk space.

I have installed Windows 7 on one drive (300gb). I have another 300gb drive available on which I want to install ubuntu 9.10.
There are many dual boot things on google but I can't figure out which would work for me. Some say they work for 9.04 but not for 9.10.
Should I unplug the Win drive, and then install Ubuntu? If I do so I am not sure I can deal with the Grub thing.
Today I downloaded the newest version of ubuntu. We have got two laptops, one with vista, one with windows7. Ubuntu did properly install only with Vista. What can I do with the Windows7-one?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I bought my computer from a friend, he told me that it had 60Gbs in it. Well, when I began to install Ubuntu Linx 9.10 I came to the point of decission of whether or not to delete Windows XP or run Ubuntu 9.10 along with Windows XP. I had a decision to make and I honestly thought I had enough free space to run both. I kept on having problems bringing up Ubuntu. It would go so far and then it would freeze. Well I updated GNOME and I was able to login and try a few things. I of course downloaded and installed the program that I needed to run the program that was running my online radio station. I also downloaded a scanner for to check virusus. I then tried to download some other softwear but I deleted them and kept the scanner and the other program that plays my radio station. Since I did that I logged out and shut down the computer. I haven't been able to get to the point to where I can login again. It freezes. How can I add more memory of free space to run Ubutu. If there is no way of doing that how can I delete Ubuntu and start all over again so that I can again install Ubuntu Linux 9.10 and take off Windows XP so I can run Ubuntu. I really do like the Ubuntu's system. It is so very quick bringing up websites. I have a 32bit download on the CD. I found out the computer was only 16Gbs.
