Ubuntu Installation :: Updating From 8.04 To 10.04 From CD?
Sep 27, 2010
I had Ubuntu 8.04 & Windows Xp installed on by 80GB Hard Disk by giving 40GB each to Ubuntu & Xp. Due to some problem in Windows Xp (nothing new) i had to reinstall Windows Xp. I had taken backup of all data on Windows & Ubuntu fully knowing that Grub would go haywire.
Now i want to install Ubuntu 10.04 on the 40GB that was earlier occupied by Ubuntu 8.04 from CD.
I'm posting the output of sudo fdisk -l
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2611 20972826 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 2612 9729 57175335 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 2612 3916 10482381 7 HPFS/NTFS
[Code].....
Should i delete all Linux partitions ? What and how many partitions (min.) should i make ? What partition should i use as mount ? Should i use ext3 or ext4 in all partitions ?

well my problem is as follows: on ubuntu lucid I ran:

OK, I've learnt my lesson and won't update ubuntu anymore, since it's the second time i'm encountering serious problems after updating it. But please if somebody can, please help me fix this now. I need my os with all my settings back as it was. I've seen that my /home partition is fine, and the root partition has less files/folders than the live cd root partition has, so I believe that only some important system files went missing up to now.

I just completed a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 from USB (On a Toshiba portege m200). The installation went fine, and I updated the packages and rebooted when asked to do so, but when the computer was starting again the Ubuntu logo became wierdly deformed and then nothing happened. After 5 minutes I hard-rebooted it (Is that what its called? I held down the power button). And booted up in recovery mode. Again the computer froze, with this message as the latest on screen:
Code:

When I update my Ubuntun 9.10 to 10.04 from the iso file, and run the command "sudo gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupdate"", it reminds me that "Authentication failed". Before the warning, the updating box stops at "calculating the changes" for a very long time.

I partial updated the ubuntu packages after repeated messages. Finally it asked me to delete obsolete files and I clicked Ok. After some time the wireless internet Icon on the top right corner disappered.
Now I cant connect to internet by my router either wireless or wired. My wlan drivers are ok too. There seem to be no network whatsoever.

I have a problem. Today I updated from 10.10 to 11.04 and it looks really cool. However, I also have Windows 7 on a different partition. When I restarted after I updated, GRUB looked different. Also, when I tried to boot to Windows 7, the screen would go blank (like it was restarting) and it would just bring me up to the GRUB menu again. I really need to get back onto Windows 7.

For every one who upgraded to 11.04 and got a black screen while booting up. i have found a work around to possibly fix and back up your files
my setup:
gateway NV78
ubuntu 11.04 (upgraded from 10.10)
black screen while booting
M220MV (used as a second monitor)
all i did was reboot my laptop with a second monitor attached to it so the video output would be displayed on the tv instead of my laptop.

Ubuntu is getting glitchy and I need to update it, but there's something holding me back. In the past, whenever I used to update, I would get some sort of GRUB Menu (if that's what it's called) after reboot, and I would have no idea of how to get into Ubuntu. This would eventually lead me to uninstall Ubuntu via Wubi because of frustration and lack of answers on the internet.
But not this time. I want the solution this time so I can be successful in updating. Can anybody PLEASE tell me what happened all of those times, and what I can do to prevent it from happening now?

After my system was updated to Natty, even though Software Sources is set for LTS updates only, none of the repositories in Software Sources or /etc/apt/sources.list.d were updated. I have manually updated the Software Sources repositories, and removed the outdated repositories from /etc/apt/sources.list.d, but when I do apt-get update I still see references to previous Ubuntu versions. How do I update ALL the repositories?

1.) I made a few updates that I found a website my friend sent me: http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2009/...nstalling.html
however, when I would go to enter the APT line in the other sources in the software sources windows then close and reload it I would get the following error message code...
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I also attached a screen shot of the error message window.
2.) I don't know if i should post another issue I had, but when i try to run GNUnet it says that Daemon is not running. I'm not sure what that is all about.

I set up a LAMP server using tasksel and it works great, but I'm not sure about much of the specifics of it. It just works and I have not had a need to find out much about it. So I was wondering if installing updates through the update manager could possible break my LAMP server and if so what types of updates should I look for that could break it?

But I feel like I should warn everyone that upgrading (with PackageKit) a Kubuntu 9.10 (64-bit) to Kubuntu 10.04 LTS, completely breaks the system and makes most everything useless ... In my case it found errors in the upgrading process, and also the bug rapport tools didn't work My 9.10 was only a few weeks old and I have done nothing unusual with the system. (My computer is a Compaq 615 laptop). If there are solutions to repair the system, then I would like 2 know.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. The Update Manager originally showed the update to Ubuntu 10.04 and I pressed the update button. Midway through the update, my internet died so I just cancelled the update. My internet is working again and I'm trying to update but the update manager won't show the update button. I've pressed check a bunch of times and installed all the other updates but I can't see the distribution update.

I installed Lucid Lynx in my p4:2.66 hz machine with XP sp3 pre-installed and the system booted just fine with dual boot option. Then I updated my Lucid. All updates were downloaded. But during update installation a power failure caused PC reboot. Again I started update manager and it gave me option for "Partial Upgrade". I did the same and it instructed me to reboot. The the real damn thing happens now when I rebooted, In the GRUB menu it showed only Memorytest options. I see no OS choice there, I tried to reinstall GRUB from live CD with mount options. And it showed no errors during the procedure. I rebooted but the same problem exists.
