I have a LiveCD of the Lubuntu Lucid 10.04 Beta. First, I will say, I'm extremely impressed with Lubuntu. It's incredibly lightweight, pretty intuitive to use, and very pretty when compared to other distros of comparable weight (eg, MEPISLite, wattOS etc.) The only problem is that when I click "Install Lubuntu," NOTHING HAPPENS. Is it just because it's the Beta?
View 8 RepliesI'm so excited to see how nicely Lubuntu 10.04 runs on my EeePC. I went ahead and installed it, knowing that it's just the second beta. Everything seems to be going nicely, but when I did a "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" it showed there were tons of updates (about 90MB worth). I saw updates for Chrome, the kernel, xserver-xorg, etc. I understand this is just a beta operating system and is not recommended to be used as a primary OS, but I'm just so excited and can't wait. If I stay with this install, and keep updating, would I eventually make my way to the final release? Or would you recommend doing a reinstall with the final image?
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo here's the schedule for 10.04:
April 8th, 2010 - Beta 2 release;
April 22nd, 2010 - Release Candidate;
April 29th, 2010 - Final release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
If I have 10.04 beta 1, could I just continue to update and not have to burn another disk to install? Or do I have to burn the beta 2 and reinstall if I want it?
I have 9.10 installed and working like a charm, due to the problems I had last time, I decided to leave an empty space to try and test upcoming editions, but I can't install it!
I get two error messages and can't get past the point of partition assignment.
Here's the screenshots. I'm trying to install on the free space.
I have a need on one pc to go back to Lucid. Is there a way to do this without losing all the packages that have been installed? I understand that I can wipe out the previous and start fresh. I know how to deal with my own stored data.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Lubuntu to a USB. It was up and running and worked fine, however, upon exiting and going to boot into windows, I noticed it had installed a GRUB bootloader. I use whole disk encryption on windows, which has its own bootloader, so I can't be having some other bootloader on the PC interfering with this. I used my rescue disk to restore my WDE bootloader, but the USB stick will not boot now.
I also tried using pendrivelinux but this copies the live cd version onto the USB stick and nothing saves when you log off.installing Lubuntu to USB without a boot loader?

I can still access and see my windows partition.

Master HD 20MB half full with 40MB Slave HD. WinXP service pack 3 and all updates are current, with one glitch, system will not 'restart' have to press off button, then have to press off button twice again to start XP running again. Tried to run off CD using xubuntu, Lubuntu 11.04 and Unbuntu 11.04. A page of errors covers the screen, I have a photo attached which I hope you can download and zoom in on.
It starts out with, 570.240718 Kernal panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! 570.24786 Pid:1, comm:init not tainted 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu.... Regards, Michael A I'm going to mark this as solved. I have to add a 40mb hard drive and make it master and make 20mb hd the slave and add 2 - 256 ram instead of 128 memory. I have an issue where xp will not reboot so i intend to format both hd's and try to install 10.04.2 from cd for a full install, no windows. I will report back.
Linux newb here. I was looking for a lightweight distro that I really like and Lubuntu was it. I installed in on all three of my comps with out issues and my old Dell desktop(512mb ram) is flying now. Way faster than XP even right after a fresh install of both on the same desktop. On my fourth install, my girlfriends old toshiba laptop, it installed fine. After the restart and reboot it gets to the Lubuntu logo with the 5 dots under it. It gets through 4 of the dots then freezes. I left it for 20 minutes and it was stuck.
I tried booting from cd again and check disc for defects. It said it found 2 files with errors, press any key to reboot. Which I did and it just booted right back into the freeze. Maybe since I have to manually make it boot from cd every time it was wanting to boot back into the CD after the disc check, I'm not sure. I tried burning a new iso on a slower speed, same thing for a total of 3 reinstalls with the same effect. The only thing different about this install compared to my others is:
A) I had to flash the bios from windows before I started to even get the damn thing to be able to boot from CD
B) I decided to just wipe XP and install Lubuntu on the whole drive.
I downloaded the Lubuntu 10.10 Live-CD ISO and burned it to a CD-RW disc. The Lubuntu Live-CD fails to boot on my secondary PC. It boots fine on my primary PC. The PC on which Lubuntu fails to boot is a Dell Dimension L (year 2000). Celeron 566 MHz. 192 MB RAM. That PC has Xubuntu 10.10 installed on HDD. Xubuntu runs fine. The PC on which Lubuntu boots OK is a Dell Dimension 4100 (year 2000). PIII 733 MHz. 512 MB RAM. The failing boot progresses to a point where I get a purple screen showing "Ubuntu 10.10". Underneath the "Ubuntu 10.10" is a progress bar consisting of four dots. The progress bar continually shows progress, but after a few minutes there is no HDD or CD activity. After about seven minutes I get a blank bluish-gray screen. After waiting an additional five minutes I pressed "Enter" and was returned to my original purple screen. The progress bar continued to show progress, but there was no HDD or CD activity.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHeard good things about Lubuntu 11.04 so I downloaded the .iso and burnt a CD to have a peek. When I boot up on the CD and choose "Try Lubuntu" the splash screen shows up then it jumps to command line. I tried startx, but it didn't work.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am desperately looking for a how to : multiboot. Checked bodhi.zazen's thread, but its totally with reference to GRUB Legacy. I have karmic installed and also vista. wondering if there is a step-wise guide to multiboot with reference to Grub2. I want to add a SUSE, Fedora and Lubuntu, but have no clue as to how. I messed up my comp earlier trying to multiboot so now I just dual-boot Windows Vista and Karmic Koala.

I recently seen a thread showing what the file is that is missing in the Lucid live images that was present on the Karmic and earlier images, but I can't find it nor remember what the file was called.
I installed a new Ubuntu OS in my computer, (I downloaded it yesterday) on a dual boot pc (windows xp) Installation went smooth until it reached grub-pc. It was installing grub-pc (1.98 lubuntu6). It hanged there for several hours. Finally I interrupted the installation. When I went to the installed packages I got a message telling: Grub-PC 1.98 Lubuntu 6 Failed to Install or Upgrade. I'm pretty new to Linux so I know nothing about it, but I wish to go away from Windows XP.

I've been sucessful in running in Live Cd mode from a CF card, however when trying to install it gets stuck with either this message "syscall_call+0x7/0xb" or this "kernel_thread_helper". I've tried to install with this parameter "acpi=off", but still no sucess.I've tried to install from a external cd drive to a CF, from a USB pen drive to a CF, from a CF to a HDD, etc...
PS. I've also tried other distros however only this and Xubuntu were able to go into Live CD mode, and Xubuntu was slow, very slow.
I am trying to downgrade gdm to Version 2.20 because I want to create a multiseat setup. I already did this with Ubuntu 9.10, but with Lynx, I get an error...
What I did:
- Downgrade gdm: Since gdm 2.20 seems not to be in the repositories anymore, I downloaded the deb-Package from the website. First I removed gdm. When installing 2.20, I get an error, that libdmx1 is not there. So I installed it, and after that installation of gdm 2.20 works.
- I replaced xorg.conf and gdm.conf by the files, that I used on my previous multiseat (on Ubuntu 9.10).
Now, when I boot up I get a message, that there is already a X-Server running on Device :0 (This is my original message in german: "Anscheinend l�uft bereits ein X-Server auf Anzeige :0. Soll eine andere Anzeigenummer ausprobiert werden? Falls Sie mit nein antworten, wird erneut versucht, den Server auf :0 zu starten.").
Even if I disable the second server setup in gdm.conf (so only one X should be started), I get the same error. The error is shown on Terminal 8, while on 7 there is still the Ubuntu logo with the read dots going from left to right.
Does anybody know what I can do to get the thing working? Strange thing: I upgraded the Ubuntu 9.10 multiseat system and it works! Only on the clean install, I get this problem.
I attached my xorg.conf and gdm.conf
I'm currently stuck at the "lubuntu - Install lubuntu" screen on a Dell Optiplex GX150 (specs; Pentium III 1 GHz, 512 mb RAM, 20 GB HDD). I can hear the CD spinning up but nothing happens. Looking at the specs, the PC should be able to run lubuntu, right? Could somebody point me in the right direction? I've verified both the ISO and the CD checksum, both check out, so there should be no issue with the install media
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have tried out Lucid Lynx Beta 1 back in march. During the installation I was announced that support for bluetooth was dropped. I installed anyway, thinking it would be back in the Final Release. Meanwhile (between March and April) I reinstalled Karmic because I really needed the bluetooth. I can see in the upgrade that bluetooth still isn't available. What should I do about this? Is there a way to keep Lucid Lynx and bluetooth? Or will I have to stay on Karmic until the end of times?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to Lucid Lynx, and while everything kernel-wise is running fine so far, I have a problem that is giving me heartburn. It appears that I have broken my Windows XP boot command, as selecting that boot option will only loop back to the GRUB selection menu. The Partition is there, and I can access it through ubuntu's file manager, but right now I simply cannot boot into windows. Partition information: 540gb set for windows (NTFS), 55 set for unbuntu.
[Code]....
During the update, an autoconfig screen came up asking me to select what I wanted to boot from in GRUB. I selected what I thought referred to the harddisk partitions (and not simply selecting all of them. ) Is there any way to bring that window back up to change that? while I am a *cough* Windows power user *cough*, I don't understand ubuntu (or Linux) very well, so please keep that in mind when replying.
this is just weird. Did a fresh install from the alternate CD, including deleting original Win XP partition. Installation went just fine. Building this for my wife, so when asked for user name and password, entered those for her. As required, enteressword, then re-entered for verification. When setup completed, I tried to login, but absolutely could not. System recognizes the keyboard, responds to enter key, enters dots in the PW box as I'm typing but only returns Authentication Failed.
Thinking I must have mistyped the PW both times, I reinstalled. This time, I created my user name and password; the one my hand muscles know so I don't even have to think about it. Get to the end, reboot and, I can't log in!Does anybody have any idea what's going on here? I'd truly love to find out; my wife is getting restless
been using meerkat in VM and there are some nice touches in there so was thinking of upgrading my lynx to meerkat, didnt wanna do fresh install cos meerkat has some stuff removed from what i see that lynx didnt BUT big worry is by doing upgrade not fresh I will end up with somoething completely sha**ed and wont work at all.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Lubuntu 10.04 yesterday (yay, my first serious installation!), and I was trying to install the drivers for my video card (GeForce 6200), when it told me that it couldn't use ld. After oing some research I found out that it was in binutils. So I went over and got it and tried to ./configure it when it told me that there weren't any C compilers in $PATH, so I went over to the gcc homepage with a fine-toothed comb and found gcc 4.5.0. When I tried to./configure it, it also told me that there aren't any C compilers in $PATH.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the same problem with an Ubuntu 10.04 live CD. Whenever I attempt to boot (Lu|U)buntu from a live CD/USB, on most computers. it works just fine. However, on two computers, the live media starts off just fine with the main menu (Try Ubuntu without installing, etc.), then, when I select any option except 'Boot from First Hard Disk', after a few seconds, the CD stops spinning or the USB loses power. I'm convinced it's not a problem from the media, since it works perfectly fine on some computers.
