View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter reading a lot about Ubuntu I decided to try it today. But despite all the reading and searching I have done I cannot get it to install to any of my machines. I tried almost all the current versions, in all the machines and I am ready to give up. As a last resort I decided to take the last futile installation on my main pc and try to ask for some help. I downloads (3 times) Ubuntu 10.10, I have tried installing it with Wubi, Cd , USB and failed miserably. Most of the time it will boot in the (?) purple desktop and stop there. A few times. a window popped about a wired connection and last time I got a screen looking like this code...
My pc runs on a q6600 , 4gb RAM, nvidia 295gtx. Motherboard is the old P5k. My HD is partitioned in 3 smaller parts, 1 for windows 7, 1 for downloads and 1 for ubuntu in which i tried in vain to install.
I tried the noacpi noacpi stuff when I was using Wubi but I have not found how to start the live cd/USB since the downloadable version is apparently the alternate one only. I tried downloading it 2 more times from the main page, but no success. What am I doing wrong here?
Can someone tell me how to install sopcast on fedora 14?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm new here, an Ubuntu user who would try Opensuse for a while. That is if I'm able to launch the thing !
I'd like to create a Live Usb Stick to test it and install it if I like it but it doesn't seem to work.
I tried the website method, using "Win32DiskImager.exe" but the program doesn't work for me (WinXP) : it looks like it's writing but when the "Done" message is prompted, I'm unable to access the usb key, Windows says it's not formatted. That doesn't look right...
I tried with LinuxLive Usb Creator but the boot process fails and Universal-Usb-Installer doesn't offer an Opensuse option.
Is there another way to install the distribution on an USB stick ? I could still try through Ubuntu but that would be quite surrealistic.
I am trying to install Fedora12 on a usb hard-drive, the first problem I encountered was that the hard-drive would not boot stating "kernel panic: unable to create root device", this is just using the standard fedora 12 install and mostly clicking next (although I add my vista to the grub and tell grub to install to /dev/sdc which is the location of my usb hdd).
I have also tried livecdtousb (wont boot in stick and wont recognize removable hd as removable)
I have tried setting up disc encryption and installing with no LVM.
The drive has this same problem with ubuntu 9.10 however ubuntu 8.10 installs perfectly and I am guessing earlier versions of fedora will too. The problem is that I would like the kernel features of Fedora 12 (mainly modesetting) without this issue.
I have played about with grub and quite like disabling LVM and using the uuid of the drive to select the root partition, my boot partition has 500mb, I have a 2gb swap space 50gb ext4 root partition & 27gb fat32 partition code...
I am trying to install LibreOffice 3.3 by following the instructions I found at [url]
Below is the output I get after running these commands:

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and I have OpenOffice installed. Is it possible to install LibreOffice 3.3 from PPA even though it is said that the commands target Maverick? Do I have to uninstall OpenOffice before installing LibreOffice?
I'm currently running 11.3 and decided I'd try upgrading to 11.4 following the instructions here: SDB:System upgrade - openSUSEUnfortunately, my attempts are defeated at the point of trying to refresh the new repos; I get the following message (for the oss repo, in this case):
Download (curl) error for 'url':
Error code: Connection failed
Error message: Couldn't resolve host 'download.opensuse.org'
With 11.4 replaced by 11.3 in the repo url, it refreshes just fine. The only repository that works when I change 11.3 to 11.4 is the Packman repo. I'm not really sure why the connection fails for 11.4 but not 11.3!
Further info: I have an old router with no IPv6 support, but have IPv6 disabled system-wide. I can enter the url for the repositories into firefox and they come up just fine - it's only with zypper/YaST that I get the above error message.I also tried upgrading using the network CD but ran into the same sort of problem. In this case it may be because the CD installer doesn't disable IPv6. (I didn't want to download the DVD at my connection speed, and the KDE live CD is not listed as suitable for upgrade).
I've tried installing mysql-server on Lucid, and I get errors that it cannot set the root password. A screenshot is attached.
I have no idea what to do. I've tried purging configuring and reinstalling. Same problem. I can't find anything in the logs.
A clean install on an all linux AMD desktop machine. Problem is lucid will not shutdown. All that you can see is the background staring at you for good.
I have not had the guts to install fglrx either.
Some software I did install:
I have downloaded 64bit desktop CD Iso installer form ubuntu site. when i boot the live CD, i get the first black screen of keyboard and man symbols at the bottom. then the ubuntu splash screen and it is stuck there for ever. also my HDD activity is over since no CD derive blinks and HDD led blinks. if i press CTRL+ALT+backspace i get a text screen with several error messes most of them input output error and errors like unable to create /tmp. I will attach a pic shortly..

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am currently facing one issue with my network. I have several computers and this is what happens, everything works fine when I use the ip address, but when it comes to hostname.
-Windows computers can't ping/see the computer 5 (while it is running linux), but they can see computer 3 while running ubuntu 8.10 and computer 2 while on Mac OS X.
-computers 2 and 3 can see/ping everybody while on Mac/Linux.
-computer 5 can ping everybody.
-computers 1, 2, 3 and 4 (on every OS) can see/ping computer 5 while on windows xp.
Basically, the problem is with computer 5, it can see, but it is not seen by other computers (just when running ubuntu lucid)Computer 5 is supposed to be a printer server, so it must be seen by the others regardless of OS.When I ping computers 5 the TTL is 64, when I ping other computers, TTL is 128. I don't think this means anything, but I am not sure.Initially I thought this was a printer issue, but then I realized is something related to network when I tried to use ping/explore the computer 5 by ip/hostname (it works by ip, but not by hostname).Computer 5 is sending the hostname to the router properly, it appears in the dhcp client list.
Some of my rather useful applications have stopped being useful after a fresh installation of lucid. In particular, the fonts rendered on emacs, openoffice and others look awful to unreadable. Attached is an example screenshot for emacs but it doesn't appear to be application specific. Also, I have a hunch it has to do with my graphics driver
(Linux-x86, Nvidia Driver v195.36.24 ona GeForce 6200 TurboCache).
I have recently setup Ubuntu 9.10 in my USB pendrive using LiLi USB Creator tool.
I have given persistence with 1530MB.
Now the problem is if i want to install any software from the Ubuntu Software center, it shows a message

I have no idea how can I solve this .
I run Lucid on ext3. I really miss not being able to reach Lucid from my dual boot Vista.I have installed the latest fsdriver. I have also tried this:[URL].. which does not work. (Is it because fsdriver is still in the system?) I also tried these methods but to no avail.[URL]. The problem seems to be related to fsdriver not being able to handle ext3 with Inode size = 256. Going back to ext2 for only the home partition seems complicated?

My issue is that I'm not able to boot from the grub prompt as described for installing grub from a LiveCD https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gr...0from%20LiveCD. I can see grub is installed but is missing the kernal and other files. code...
I ran the boot_info script and the output is attached. From what I can tell it cannot even detect an OS being installed, but I've kept everything up to date and never had any issues. Everything was fine yesterday and now this. Also, I tried the Boot Repair CD and that did not work.
I'm trying to dual boot 9.10 with Vista on an HP Pavilion Slimline (AMD64). I've tried both booting from a disk and using Wubi, and neither has worked. Booting from the disk takes me through the screen where I can choose to try Ubuntu without installing, but after selecting that, the desktop didn't load, the screen just went to black.
I decided to try Wubi, and it went well enough. Everything in windows worked, and upon rebooting, it was able to finish checking the installation. After one more reboot, I selected Ubuntu from the Windows boot manager, and then the grub command prompt appears. I can't seem do anything after that except reboot.
I have no idea what's going on with this computer.
I recently decided to give Ubuntu another try after a break for a while, and have hit a bit of a road block The live CD booted fine, ran, installed, all flawlessly, so it's now a dual boot with Windows 7. Only issue now is when trying to load the HDD installed Ubuntu, it just hangs on a black screen, no HDD activity light or anything. First up my specs code...
Next, what happens in detail:
Machine posts, loads boot loader with OS options. Whether choose Ubuntu or recovery Ubuntu, it always hangs on black screen straight after that.
Next, what I have tried to fix it so far:
Tried pressing 'e' and replacing the quiet splash with nomodeset, same result with both normal flavour and recovery.
Tried copying the xorg.conf from the live CD filesystem to X11 folder on main system drive. Also tried editing it to try and use generic vesa driver.
Downloaded the torrent first, burned to a new DVD-RW, and tried all install options I could think of. Then downloaded to file, burned to another new DVD-RW, same result. This morning I downloaded the Live CD, and it got all the way to the blue screen just before the login page, and stuck there. I finally gave up and reinstalled Fedora 10 again on my drive. The problen seemed to be with a missing or corrupted package, although I can't remember exactly remember which one. My machine is a custom one, Nvidia Gforce, and an Elite Group MB. F10 runs fine, no problems at all. Is this a commom problem with 11?

When I boot the ubuntu live cd (9.10) and attempt to install it only gives two options at the partitioning screen. One is to use the whole disk and the other is to manualy assign partitions. I told it to resize one of my partitions and created 18GB of free space. However, it tells me this space is "unusable". It wouldn't let me do anything with it and I used windows vista disk manager to add it back to the original partition. I have one hard drive with four partitions. One is a restore partition, one windows partition, one storage partition, and one that says xp although i don't have xp installed. It might be used by the acer restore program. It's an acer aspire 6920.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm getting a bit tierd of linux right now.. I can't get the CD, with netinstall on, to start.
I've tried different harddrives and burned it several times at different speed and so on. I've tried to just i386 and amd64, both gives the same error:
isolinux: Disk error 32, AX = 42B0, driver 9F
The harddrives that I got is small 10-80 gb, so they are a bit old.. but they worked the last time I've tried to install (until I got a grub loading error)
I'm not sure what to do at all. Tried to search on google and here without finding something
When you install Ubuntu, you will typically install a complete desktop environment. It is also possible to install a minimal set of software (just enough to boot your machine) and then manually select the precise software applications to install. Such a "custom" install is usually favoured by server administrators, who prefer to keep only the software they absolutely need on the server.
I have never personally noticed any sections in the install to allow you to do a custom minimal install, is this possible in Lucid?If so how, or do I need to download just a mini install iso?
