I am on a fujitsu tablet and usually the "low resolution mode"that would run with this was really good.Now it looks like someone wrote over it with pastel.I can hardly read it.Is there a way to rollback the upgrade?
View 1 RepliesI started having connection issues after last upgrade.. how can i check and rollback some updates? 10.10 netbook
ps. there's no History in Ubuntu Software Center
I've searched a dozen or more threads, some say there is no such thing as rolling back an update, others say it can be done, but I can't find one that outlines how to do it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI play this game called Minecraft, and I'd like to run the server package as well, but the server is laggy as hell. I did my research, and some people were saying that one of the problems was the Java version. They recommended rolling back specifically to 1.6.0_13, but they didn't say how. So I Googled for a tutorial on how to roll back Java in Ubuntu, and got nothing. So here I am.
I also learned that you can add some extra code into a Java run command to make it run off of a specified version, so I added this to the original command I have to run my server
Code:
-version:1.6.0_13 and got "Unable to locate JRE meeting specification '1.6.0_13'". So now I'm thinking that Ubuntu didn't retain any previous versions of Java. My second question would be, where does Ubuntu keep it's versions of Java, cause I'd just download that version of Java, put it where Ubuntu keeps it, then run that command again and hope it works.
I've used the 270'th version of NVIDIA driver with my GTS450 graphic card. After publishing the new 280 version of driver on NVIDIA resource, i've tried to install it manually. Installation was successfull, but when booting a conflict between versions was found(from kern.log) and only console mode is available. How can i rollback NVIDIA driver in console mode? Previous configuration of xorg.conf has been backuped.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing Ubuntu Lucid with Gnome desktop.I was just playing around trying to find a media player I liked and installed Bangarang via the Software Centre. This took an absolute age and now I realise why - it has basically installed the entire KDE environment and associated lib packages as well.I have found /var/ log/ dpkg.log shows what has been installed and of course I can wade through that to make a list of all the packages and uninstall them all via Synaptic. But that will take a long time to do.
Is there anyway to somehow automate rolling back any package changes since a certain time?I've checked the man for dpkg and I can't see any mention of anything like this.
PHP in FC 12 has a lot of issues. Is there any way to rollback to an earlier version still using Yum?I'm running drupal on an FC11 machine and the site works great. When I move it to a FC12 machine, I get all sorts of errors which I've traced to problems with PHP 5.3.2. Looking at the PHP site regarding the kinds of issues I'm running into is a scary experience. The developers know its broken,
I've had so much trouble with PHP and broken releases, I suggest Fedora keep at least 4-5 releases in yum so that users can easily switch versions. Certainly 5.3.2 should not be released.I've been looking for my FC11 disk and as soon as I find it, my FC12 machine is going backwards just so I can run a version of PHP that actually works. This should not be necessary, but.....
I've been given an old rsync script to update some data files on a few different servers... I am trying to understand what directory on the server it gets it's files as the way it seems to refer to the data on the server is:
data_source='random-server.fqdominan.net::Firstlogic'
Not sure what the "::Firstlogic" part with the two :: means.
Here is the entire script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Begin user-configurable options #
# Who can run this script
authorized_user='appdtools'
# From where we rsync the update data
data_source='random-server.fqdominan.net::Firstlogic'
# From where we rsync the rollback data
rollback_data_source='random-server.fqdominan.net::Firstlogic_rollback'
# Where updates will go
data_target='/Firstlogic/postware/dirs'
# How to do the rsync .....
# Here is where we do the "work".
splash# Check user and print warning
if [ "${rsync_test}" == "-n" ]; then
update_address_data# Test the monthly update
else
stop_address# Stop the address standardizer
update_address_data# Load the monthly update
clean_logs# Empty the old log files
start_address# Start the address standardizer
fi
I have not tested this script yet but evidentialy it used to work. I just need to find out where to stick the files on random-server.fqdomain.net to test it out. The server it points to no longer has the files on them...
Is there a way to rollback the packages installed in the last software update?I cannot reach the gui login screen (x-server) ever since my last software update.Hence cannot login.Too bad the old xserver restart key (crtl+alt+bkspace) dont work anymore.Also, I dont remember the command to view the system logs to know what went wrong.

While upgrading to a newer version of Ubuntu I noticed a warning saying that the installation/upgrade should not be interupted. Unfortunately though, during this process my computer froze up and I had to shut it down. Ubuntu no longer starts on my computer. I still have Windows though, which is what I'm using now.

I am trying to upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10. I have never had a problem upgrading before with the Update Manager. Now I get an error message when using the Update Manager. The message says, "Could not calculate the upgrade". See screenshots. I also checked the package manager for broken packages and came up with nothing.

The next line reads '>Preparing to upgrade' and sits there. Mean while, the process begins to perform a great deal of constant hard drive activity. The window's horizontal activity bar reads 'Calculating the changes' at the bottom of the 'Distribution Upgrade' window.

This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later. I tried again several times in different days and it is the same. I have 10.4 recently updated from my original installation of 9.10. I think it was not a pre-release, I did it automatically from the website and it took a long time. As far as I know, all I have installed is official, except perhaps Skype itself.
I was trying to update from 9.04 to 9.10.
During the installation, I kept getting tons of errors. Finally something came up saying that I had to abort the installation and it did some stuff. I tried running an application, but I got an error. So I restarted the system.
The normal screen came up where I had to choose the Ubuntu stuff (I'm new to Ubuntu) in the box. I noticed that it had gone to 8.10... which I had earlier before installing 9.04, which went great. So I chose the first on and the system failed to start. I rebooted and tried all the other options, but they all had errors. Now I'm booted to Windows.
I installed Ubuntu from a CD I created. But it is now outdated because it is 8.10, and I have already upgraded to 9.04. 9.04 to 9.10 is where stuff went wrong.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed 10.04 clean on the PC.Not other operating system.It booted to Ubuntu fine after the install and all appeared to be working fine.Used the upgrade manager to install the upgrades to the basic system.I had not yet loaded in any non-ubuntu or medibuntu repositories so this was the first, basic upgrade.After the upgrade,I can no longer boot to Ubuntu but boot to a grub prompt instead.I presume this is a recover prompt. How do I "recover" and continue booting to Ubuntu?
