I'm looking to bring several 9.04 systems up to 11.04. I have tried following the tutorial here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Jaunty
Everything seemed to go fine, but after I restarted, it was still on 9.04. I'm not sure where to go from here. All but one of the servers is running Ubuntu Server (i.e. no desktop GUI) so I'll still need a command line solution (which is preferable anyway).
Upgraded using Update Manager from 10.10 to 11.04 on a dual boot, Windows XP/Ubuntu box. Went smooth as silk. Installed grub perfectly. And seemingly contrary to the vocal minority here, I actually like the Unity interface.

It is like a jump (silence) that occurred randomly. I have read the sticky (Comprehensive Sound Problems Solution Guide) where I learn that I have more than one on-board sound cards after:

After having a lot of issues with my card on Ubuntu 9.04, I sadly, removed it an installed XP over it. (XP is better than Vista at least, which is what came with my Laptop, I'm still recovering from THAT traumatic experience.) I have an Acer Extensa 4420, which has a Radeon Xpress 1250 Graphics Card. I tried it again with Ubuntu 10.10 and am very pleased, I run Compiz/Desktop Effects just fine, everything is smooth and fast, and most applications run fine.
As of right now, there are two games which will not run properly. Tibia, and Frets on Fire. Both of these (Tibia is 2D Sprite based, Frets on Fire appears to be 3D but might be some sort of isometric 2D variant). They work, but PARTS of the screen flicker. In tibia, the "game window" is fine, runs at a constant 30fps (not bad, it's a slow card after all), but the chat window and inventory windows flicker at a random rate, but usually once or twice per second. On Frets on Fire, it's the colored dots that scroll on the screen, and the stage lights (though those might intentionally flicker, but they seem to follow the pattern of the dots so I'm gonna go with the idea that it's a problem.)
I tried FGLRX for grins, Compiz/etc. still worked but then nothing that used any type of hardware acceleration would even open, so I removed it. Are there any other drivers for the X1250? It's a legacy product, unfortunately. And as ATi is in this war with nVidia right now, with their new 6xxx cards coming out, I don't see any support for my old (it was old when the laptop was new) integrated GPU coming from them.
How can I make it work? Not looking for major 3D gaming here, but I would like those to work!
I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Lenovo laptop. I have got problems with audio and video. Whenever i run any audio/video file, it doesn't run smoothly. Well, sometimes it just works well and there occurs no problem running files. but most of the times it do cretes problems. Plz hlp because i have reinstalled 5 or 6 times, but problem persists.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI could go on for pages with the different things that I've tried. The end result with all of them is that the Kernal isn't found by any bootloaders. Lilo won't install and errors out. I don't remember the specific error, sorry. I can't use the usb boot stick it has me make during the installation, it just doesn't boot. My CPU is a dell optiplex GX520, Pentium 4 2.8 ghz, 512mb ram, SATA hd. Nothing too out of the ordinary. I want to believe there's something incompatible in the hardware with the standard kernal, but maybe I'm doing something wrong.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI was doing some research on SSDs in wikipedia. Then it was showing me links to like DRAM and SRAM. Then there was RAM which I was familiar with. Anyways down to the point.The way your computer works is. When you start up your computer. Whatever is read on the hardrive is put on your RAM memory right.? For temporary and when you start applications. It is put in your RAM from your drive to run faster. This is why having ALOT of ram is useful for having your computer running smoothly. Right?

View 6 Replies View RelatedAfter I had upgraded to 10.10, Firefox was at first running smoothly, but later it would no longer connect/open any given site. (could not connect to server). I the de-installed and new installed Firefox and it worked fine again for a while but then the same problem returned. I then completely removed Firefox and all packages pertaining to it, and then made a new install of the basic Firefox browser (same problem), then started adding one by one the other "Ubuntu" packages in synaptic for firefox, but the problem remains. I am currently using Chromium (which runs well and extremely fast) but I would like to have Firefox back
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded (full reinstall inc. format) from 11.1 (32bit) to 11.3 (64bit).
Everything is working correctly except gmplayer (installed from packman).
If I play movies using gmplayer they do not play smoothly, but the strange thing is if I play the same file with mplayer from a terminal it does play smoothly.
If I play the file from a terminal with gmplayer no errors are reported...
It's a lot more laggy and jerky in GNOME/X, even with GL-render on. Is this normal with nVidia cards or should I try tweaking some settings?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Vmware server 2.02 on a Windows-7 host. Also I have installed Debian Lenny as a guest on top of the vmware server.
I have installed Vmwaretools, the screen resolution is fine but the mouse pointer movement isn't smoothly. Side effect: When I move the pointer from the Windows-7 host into the debian desktop windows, the pointer stops at the border for a while and then jumps at ones to the middle of the window.
I have the same problem with squeeze-32-kde-4, lenny-kde-64, lenny-gnome-64. I do not have this problem with Suse linux 32-kde4. When I move the pointer over the windows border, the chape of the pointer changes ( windows > linux ) and the movement is fluently without any interuption.
Several times in the last few days the desktop has frozen. I don't know if it's KDE issue or another conflict.All programs seem to continue running smoothly, but none of the menus on windows will work, or anything in the task manager, or desktop itself. I've tried killing the task manager but it doesn't affect the issue. If I knew what process was causing this, I might be able to restart it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm fairly new to ubuntu and I've been messing around with customizing my desktop/UI over the past week or so and I must have messed something up. After I got sick of how slow Wallpapoz was to change backgrounds between workspaces (I'm using GNOME) I turned on the Wallpaper plugin in Compiz and turned off the nautilus desktop. That worked great for the backgrounds but now whenever I try to drag windows around the cursor shudders and shakes and the wondows won't move smoothly. I eventually get them to where I want them to go but it's very annoying.
So far, I have re-enabled the nautilus desktop and reinstalled nautilus with synaptic, neither of which did anything.
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.
