OpenSUSE Install :: Direct Update / Upgrade From 11.2 To 11.4?
Apr 7, 2011I am currently running OpenSuse 11.2 still having problems with sound, CD-burning and the like being a total newbie. But I am also a very curious person.
So my questions are: Is it
a) advisable to upgrade to the latest version when there are still problems to solve in the old version and after quite some work the most important functions are up and running
b) is it possible technically speaking to upgrade directly from 11.2 to 11.4 without risking too much.
Ubuntu Installation :: Direct Install Over Slackware
Apr 8, 2011I have slackware on my laptop but it's pretty buggy lately, and last night it really pissed me off freezing and loosing the volume icon.So I decided to install Xubuntu over it.(Most probably it'll be Xubuntu, 11.04 or maybe Aptosid with XFCE )But - I'd like to try not to format the home partition. Now it's separated. (The partitions now are /boot, swap, / and /home.) So, I plan to:
1. Boot from the USB;
2. Delete all the hidden files and folders from the the /home. So anything that the Slackware has put and/or set - to be cleared.
3. Directly install, keeping the current partitions, but without formatting the home.
The only thing that I think of that could make some problems is that when I booted Xubuntu 10.10 on my working machine - it couldn't mount any of the hard drives? So if this happens on my laptop too.I won't manage to delete all the hidden stuff on the home.
Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Both Live Cd And Direct Install Go To Blank?
May 1, 2010I tried to install 10.04 but for the very first time since years I got stuck
I have an integrated intel video card, 512MB of RAM, both the "try ubuntu without installation" and the "directly install ubuntu" run for a while showing the ubuntu loading splash screen and then everything freezes and the screen comes blank.
Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Seem To Get A Wired Connection Direct From The Modem?
Jun 9, 2010I have been experiencing extensive networking problems with 10.04 and I was wondering what options there are for downgrading to a different (hopefully more stable) release. I cannot seem to get a wired connection direct from the modem. I don't know if its just me but I feel an operating system that can't do something simple like this (without extensive terminal codes and file edits etc) is not for me. Here are my system specs:
3.06 GHz E6600 Core 2 Duo
2x2GB GSKILL DDR2
MSI G41M4-F (Realtek Ethernet)
500 GB Seagate 7200
I also have a PCI NIC card Intel PWLA8391GTBLK GIGABIT 1PC I just want to connect to the internet in a hassle free manner. Is there a release of ubuntu that I can "downgrade" to that will make networking hassle free? I have previously used 8.04 on a different machine with no problems. Is downgrading from 10.04 trivial? I currently do not have any important files as this is a new build and file backup is not an issue. Is there anything I should keep in mind or be aware of before downgrading?
Fedora Installation :: Cannot Open Volume For Direct Access
Jul 8, 2011I am using a Dell Inspiron 14R laptop that came with Windows 7 Home Basic. The partitions of my hard disk before installing Fedora 15 were:
Dell (OEM Partition)
OS (C: ) (Primary Partition)
RECOVERY (Primary Partition)
New Volume (E: ) (Logical Drive)
I tried shrinking my C: drive (which has Windows) but couldn't do so hence performed the procedure on E: instead. I did this to create a 15GB unformatted space to install Fedora in. While installing Fedora, I chose the option "Use Free space" under Disk Partitioning Setup but the OS got installed in E: drive. Currently, I am able to use both Windows and Fedora under dual-boot but the problem I am facing is that when working with Windows, I am unable to see drive E: in Computer.
Windows Disk Manager is able to detect the partition and is showing it to be healthy (1st screenshot). Its name now is New Volume and neither am I able to change its path or letter (Error: incorrect parameters) nor am I able to check it using "chkdsk" (Error: cannot open volume for direct access/ GUI doesn't work as well) (2nd screenshot). On the other hand, I am able to access both the partitions in Fedora.
Another point to mention is that after finishing the installation of Fedora, when I started Windows, the Disk Manager as well as Dell DataSafe showed that the Windows Recovery drive had been formatted (maybe inappropriate terminology!) and was no longer retrievable. To rectify this problem, I restored my Windows to before Fedora was installed and I seem to have got the Recovery drive back (1st screenshot) (before doing this, it was nameless and empty).
Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Lucid Update Manager Fails To Update - Now 64 Days Out Of Date?
Jul 4, 2010I am trying to update using Update Manager and I get this message: Failed to fetch "Failed to fetch [URL]..404 Not Found" My system is 64 days out of date now.
I have looked elsewhere for an answer and some others have had similar problems, but I have not found a reason for it happening, nor an answer. I wonder if anyone can help me please. I have been using Ubuntu for several months, can use the Terminal if I have the right commands to issue, but beyond that have limited knowledge of the system.

May 2, 2010I started the upgrade to 10.4 from 9.10 through the update manager. It started the update to 10.4. After downloading almost 95% of the update, it gave an error message of "could not download certain components. downloaded files will not be erased" and stopped the update. I restarted the PC, and started the update manager again. But now it does not show any option of update to 10.4. how do I continue or resume the update process? I just started using ubuntu about 15 days back. So, I am relatively new to this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Fetching From Update Servers Fail When When Using Update Managers?
Aug 21, 2010I have Ubuntu Karmic 64-bit installed. Update manager tells me there are updates available, but when i try to install them, downloading the updates fail and throws this error:
Code:
Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6-i386_2.10.1-0ubuntu16_amd64.deb
Consequently, a similar error occurs when I try installing Sun Java 6 Runtime.
Code:
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/sun-java6-jre_6-15-1_all.deb Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]
Ubuntu Restricted Extras stalls when it's time to download the Java package I tried synaptic, update manager, aptitude, apt-get, and they all throw similar errors. Then I also tried connecting to different servers, to no avail. So to check if it's my connection to the net that has problems somehow, I tried downloading the file directly through my web browser, and it works. (But it's not recommended, and it won't let me!, install the updates manually, right?) I tried searching for the errors on the net and in the forums, and they're all somehow related to proxy servers. I then checked if I'm using some inappropriate proxy settings, and everywhere it's all set up to connect to the net directly, which is, well, my setup.
Take note though, that I am able to install other softwares normally, i.e, using synaptic, apt-get etc. The ones I tried include Pidgin and Mplayer. It's just these updates and Java:
Code:
jeanne@jeanne-desktop:~$ sudo sudo aptitude upgrade

Ubuntu Installation :: Results Of 'apt-get Update' Command Different Than Update Manager
Mar 24, 2011I've run the command "sudo apt-get update" from terminal, showing no update to do.Then I've run the update manager (System-Administration-Update Manager) and it has shown an update (adobe flash).I thought that "apt-get update" command and update manager were the same... Why do I have different results ? Is something missing in my "sources.list" file ?

May 5, 2011I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 on my Toshiba 32-bit laptop without any problems.Since the upgrade I am starting to have troubles on this machine. Most others are 64-bit and bar an Evolution issue are fine.In this case, 24 hours after the upgrade the machine wanted to do an Update. It would not allow the update until I fixed some broken packages which I did via Synaptics Package Manager. I then Marked All Upgrades and did the update from there.It was fine until I shut down and tried to log in again.I got the Blue Screen of Death!!!!!! I thought only Windows had this!Anyway, I could not log in. The auto login was not working so I used Other which gave me Recovery, entered my UN and PW, and I got the error message:

I have searched the forum and some other sites, but none of the ideas can I get to work. I can start the machine using a 9.10 CD in the trial mode, but can not download the files suggested or delete the ICEauthority file, etc...

Aug 24, 2009I wrote a script which will run in ubuntu box and will display in tty1, without loading the gdm. The problem is when I plugged in a usb drive it will cause some messages to be printed into the current tty user logged in.

This is really disturbing when a user is running the script. Is there anyway that I can direct all the messages to some other tty which I don't use.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Getting Direct TV / HTPC Setup?
Jun 11, 2010I'm in the process of building a PC to run Ubuntu 10.04 and I want to use it (eventually) to with Direct TV. I just want to be able to use the PC as the DVR if possible. I'll accept the limitations, but I'm trying to do my homework to make it as easy as possible to use for my family.
I've started out with a BioStar M32 Micro ATX board and an Intel E5300 Dual Core Pentium 2.6Ghz processor, with 2Gigs of Kingston RAM. It runs pretty well, but I've got nothing installed yet (I'm dual booting with Windows Server 2003). Right now it's just in an old E Machines case with a new 500Gig toshiba SATA drive.
Is there a guide to what hardware I could get to work with Direct TV? Also, I'm not sure of what all is possible as far as integrating the two. If there is a guide, please let me know. Also, I would love to hear from anyone who is able to network or use Ubuntu with Direct TV.
Ubuntu :: Unity Will Not Start / Direct Rendering?
Dec 24, 2010Version: 11.04 (At least that's what the About Linux file tells me)
Graphics Card: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
System: Dell Netbook. Nothing remotely fancy.
After a night of trying to adjust the graphics settings to work with a reasonable game, I powered down for a few days and went hiking in the woods. Never got the game to work, but I had no problem restarting X and continuing to work. Thus, I assumed nothing was wrong. The only real change was the installation of DRIConf. Upon my return, I started up only to see my desktop background image load, and no GUI. No cursor, no Unity, nothing. When I boot up in recovery mode, GNOME seems to work perfectly fine. If I open DRIConf, though, it says that no devices can be found that are capable of direct rendering. My glxinfo output is below (clearly indicating that direct rendering is working). I assume there's a relationship between these problems. I just switched to Ubuntu a few months ago and am obviously a bit beyond my depth.
name of display: :1.0
display: :1 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes

Ubuntu :: No 3D Cube And Direct Desktop Access
Mar 5, 2011Running Ubuntu Netbook remix on a Toshiba NB500-upgraded to 2 Gigabytes RAM. Very slow opening applications via the side icons. 8-12 seconds. Is that normal for this distro?
- No 3D cube. Installed related compiz software, adjusted settings, ticked cubes etc. Not a peep.
- No direct desktop access. Only via side icons. Just find it fiddly re: using desktop and changing background via side icons.
Couple other items (MBB for one) but for another category.
