I recently got 10.04 installed on my computer by going through the upgrade chain all the way from 9.04.The upgrade chain ended with 10.04 LTS.Today I booted up and found a new distro, 11.04, went up, but when I went to upgrade it told me it could only do a partial upgrade.What's the deal, and how do I get the full 11.04?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to upgrade to 9.10 but it fails because the disk is full. I am running a Dell Mini with 16GB SSD...so there isn't a lot of free space to begin with. Added to that, I have some hefty applications (rosegarden, audacity, skype, etc) which I kind of need. Am I better off just sticking to 9.04? Are there any good ways to clean up the system and get rid of stuff that might be sticking around? I did apt-get clean and it didn't clean enough.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrade, I noticed that audio is full of static. It sounds as if one of the sliders has been pushed too far and it's blowing out the sound. I've tried it across several applications(rhythmbox, browser), and all audio is like this.
I've looked at the audio settings on the dock panel, but nothing seems amiss(and in fact doesn't leave much room for manipulation).
Is there another audio management system I should be using to try to resolve this or might there be something wrong with the upgrade process?
I run apt-get upgrade and get

I run "aptitude update;aptitude full-upgrade" today, then I updated /etc/default/grub changing only the default boot line number, and I dully run update-grub, with no error messages. Now Kubuntu will not boot. The new kernel 2.6.32-22 is in the boot menu. When I turn the computer on, a blinking cursor appears on top line, column 8, and after a few seconds this cursor disappears and the screen is blank - my monitor indicates no video signal.
The failsafe 2.6.32-22 grub line does not boot either. I tried pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2 etc. up to Ctrl-Alt-F10 to get to a text mode login prompt, but the screen remains blank and my monitor indicates no video signal. The workaround is to boot to kernel 2.6.32-21. The machine is Athlon XP, 2GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9600
I was happily running F10 and against my better judgement when it offered to upgrade me to F11 I decided to give it a try. The F11 install hung at 893 of 1626 packages installed. Some SE Linux package was in process of install. On the next boot the installer fails to upgrade for a corrupted root. It says I can backtrack and do a full install, but crashes with a bug when I choose backtrack.
So here is my question - Can i edit the command line and tell the installer to full install rather than upgrade? Or am I stuck with downloading a DVD ISO and doing a full install that way. I've done F8, F9 and F10 so full install from DVD doesn't bother me.
I want to upgrade my 9.10 from Wubi to a full install (my 30 gigs is almost filled) without losing my files and settings(like my panel apps and options). but how?

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 Alternate CD and tried to upgrade 8.04 to 10.04. When I run upgrade (with the option "Include latest updates from the Internet?" set to "No" ) in the "Setting new software channels" it gives this error (ScreenShot attached):
Code:

E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
This can be caused by:

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 (upgraded from 9.10) and I can't find a way to upgrade to the new 10.04.1 version.
I've updated all the software sources, changed my country location to US, and even generated a new sources.list file, but my update manager never displays an option to make an upgrade to 10.04.1
Here are my current settings:

View 5 Replies View Relatedwhen I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 I lost the ability to enable effects, lost the ability to use compiz and my screen got messed up and my video card driver wasn't working forcing me to re-install it several times. Even now my system doesn't totally work how it used to in 10.04.I want to avoid that in this upgrade. I downloaded the live cd since the wire upgrade took a bunch of hours. But my concern is the graphics, I want to be able to use effects since Unity uses effects, I have unity 2d installed but it doesn't work. So somehow enabling effects is a must.
what steps do I take to make the upgrade process as smooth as possible, I've already done my app updates so my system is current, I'll disable 3rd party ppa's like before but what else? Do I have to disable my video card driver so the live cd video card driver can be installed? How do I keep my setting as is but allow for all the 11.04 goodness to be installed?Or is erasing my current Ubuntu partition and reinstalling 11.04 fresh the best option?
I am running Lucid Lynx on a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop. Every time I try to upgrade to 11.10 (via the Update Manager) I get the below listed errors. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I just upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10. Everything seemed to go well and it looks like everything transfered over fine except my email stuff. I was using Evolution with 9.10, but it looks like none of that is on 10.04. Not too worried about the program itself, but I would like to have kept my contacts info and a few of the emails from the last couple of days.

I have Ubuntu Mavrick installed on windows vista using wubi. it has been running smoothly since RC, when i installed it. now, after I updated using Update Manager last night I was asked to reboot. Upon rebooting i was not able to use ubuntu. the Ubuntu option is there on the windows boot menu but after i select it gruub does not appear. instead it reboots again. is there any way to fix this problem so i can use ubuntu again? if not how can i recover my ubuntu files and folders? Please help because i dont really want to reinstall after all the tweaking and stuff.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI started off on 9.10 and upgraded to 10.4 without any problems. However during the upgrade to 10.10 got asked about grub (see attachment 1& 2) and I think I should have ticked the other boxs but I didn't. I also got an error (see3) The 4th one I think is a different issue.On the restart it would only get to the purple screen before the login field appears. I presume I need to do something to the grub but have no idea what.My system is 64bit and a raid 1. The attachment 5 shows the partition arrangement I can boot into the the PC with a live (32bit 10.10) cd.

If i leave it the screen just goes black I can get to ttyl by using ctrl&alt&f7 and log in.but thats about it startx just tells me no screens found I expect because xorg isn't used. If i go into recovery mode, failsafe graphics won't load either. So i select netroot and the enter startx which will give me a root desktop. I tried reinstalling grub, but no change. Not sure where to go from here i suspect it is something to do with plymouth? but i am no expert even tho i've been a user for 4 years

I tried to upgrade to 11.04 from 10.10 but I get this error every time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dual boot Win7/Ubuntu laptop. I have been running it dual since 10.04, Lucid with no problems, and I upgraded to 10.10 also without problems. However, when I upgraded to 11.04 I began to get error messages on boot up.
Importantly - both Win7 and Ubuntu still work fine, so it could be worse, but clearly something is not right in GRUB.
I could solve this by wiping Ubuntu and reinstalling from the Live CD, but that teaches me nothing, so I would like to get to the bottom of the problem.
