Ubuntu Installation :: Updating From Kubuntu 9.10 To 10.04 Breaks System?
Apr 30, 2010
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.

So I've got this old Apple with an nVidia chipset. Don't know much about Apples, but from random searches on google I think it's an imac g5.
Anyway when I install Kubuntu 10.04 it works until I update it, then the video dies. It looks as though the nouveau driver is being killed and nv put back in it's place, anyone have any remedies I might try?

I installed this package on Fedora 15.
[URL]
I tried to start the application and then the system crashed and showed a message a problem has occured and it could not be repaired by Fedora itself. I had to re-login to fix the issue. When i try to re-login everytime this message appears... like an endless circle.

I am running 32 bit 2.6.32-26-generic-pae #47-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 17 16:14:46 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Every time Update Manager updates the Kernel, the kernel and it's associated source code is upgraded, but the LINUX-HEADERS for the associated kernel are not updated.
This is a problem because without the updated linux-headers, my Nvidia drivers fail to recompile and load. A PIA. I then have to go to Synaptic Package Manager, find the appropriate linux-headers for the new kernel version, install it, reboot, and then Nvidia drivers load and function again.
Something is obviously messed up here. I likely caused the problem thus:
On first install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on this machine, it installed with the generic kernel. It saw/found the Nvidia drivers and loaded them OK (I may have had to do some Nvidia installs via Synaptic; I don't recall). My machine has more than 4GB ram, and I noticed it was not using nearly all of it. I researched and found the solution was to switch to the PAE kernel, which I did. Ever since then at every kernel upgrade, the Linux-headers fail to update, and have to be updated manually for Nvidia to function.
Now that I know what the issue is, it's not a big deal. However, Update Manager should know I need the Linux-Headers and upgrade them at every kernel update. How can I insure this happens auto-magically like the rest of this fine and beautiful KickAss OS?

My Debian System GUI (Gnome desktop) is not functional (which means I can't take snapshots of the codes, use openofice, edit photos, watch movies and am using a different computer) after I installed updates when I was notified about updates by the "system notifier icon".
The "hal" package is broken, and the GDM informs, after unsuccessfully trying to boot the GUI thrice, that kbd, nvidia and x11

I configured ( sendmail + Smarthost + pop-before-smtp settings + smtp auth settigns ), today i saw 18000 mail in mailq and somebody sending mail from my mailserver ,as i got reported by ISP for spaming. How someone broke the sendmail + pop-before-smtp settings. i usually access that system through webmin. Is webmin cause to hack password.
Or How someone break sendmail security without even choosing my own user / password spamper settings messages to smart hosts to yahoo / gmail with his own junk user name and password? I stopped sendmail for the time being. Any idea what i should look for and what i should go for its remediation?

I am not fully sure if this belongs more to the networking section or the software. O hope it is related to here enough.
My problem is as the topic says.
My port 80 seems to be already taken. lighttpd fails to start reporting that it cannot bind to port cause its already taken.
The error message itself:
Code:
"Starting web server: lighttpd2010-02-21 07:01:02: (network.c.345) can't bind to port: :: 80 Address already in use failed!"
I am not able to crack this by myself. Ihve tried investigating this by
Code:
lsof -i :80
netstat -ape | grep -v unix
First doesn't show anything second anything abt port 80.
Now hints I can think of. Maybe you have more experience and ideas what I can do and where should I look for the culprit.
I am using debian (unstable) and lighttpd. I even tried rebooting; it says that the port is taken already at the boot sequence (well it starts pretty much at end anyway but the system should be clean).
It seems that it started failing after a major distro update, so maybe there are some conflicts based on ipv6/v4 or something, though I have no idea what it could be. Well my hit for that is the part of error msg "bind to port: :: 80 ". This "::" looks like ipv6 naming convention. Maybe its lighttpd internal.

I cannot install Kubuntu (or Unbuntu) 10.4 on my husband's computer. I have spent 5 hours on this and cannot get anywhere. I am deeply frustrated. The iso I burned to CD is good (works on 2 other computers). His computer will not boot from USB, no matter what I do to the drive order in BIOS. After loading the blue screen with the Kubuntu logo on it (and the blue-white dots), the screen changes to black and shows the following text:
BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash) (initrafs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system.
He really needs to get rid of WinXP. Kubuntu is what I have on my computer (and love it!). Here is some info about his computer:
OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation

I just upgraded to the new 9.10. In 8.04 when I went into "Restricted Drivers" it showed something for my video card. Now there is nothing.
I'm trying to play a game (Counter-Strike) and it's just too laggy, probably because I don't have any drivers installed for the video card.
It's an ATI Radeon X-1950 Pro. What can I do?

It seems that updating the Kernel breaks my installation. I've tried it twice, and both times it disabled my gui desktop. I'm posting this with links2 in my terminal. The terminal works perfectly.
This is really annoying, as I can't even use my computer. What do you think is the problem?

I currently have a Windows 7/Ubuntu/Mac OS triple boot. However, every time I boot into Ubuntu 10.10, then boot into Windows, it fails to boot until a chkdsk is run. I see no particular reason this should happen, is there a way to either patch this, or to prevent Ubuntu from accessing the NTFS partition? I think this is where the problem is focused.

Any recommendations for changing or updating the system sounds in Ubuntu? Seriously, love the distro but absolutely cannot stand the stinkin' bongos that go off every time the system boots or I log in.I've tried changing them and have some of the sounds updated in 10.04, but, can't seem to get them all.

I just updated ubuntu a few minutes ago, and now my sound system is not responding. I checked up updates, installed the updates then it told me I had to restart (no big deal, that happens with every other update), so I did. And when my computer booted back up, I noticed my volume icon looked different, so I went to un-mute it, and there was no option to un-mute it. I clicked sound preferences to try and get an idea of what the problem was, and a window appeared that said "waiting for sound system to respond". I've been waiting quite a while now, and it has not responded. My sound was working fine before I updated. Here is a screen shot of the window that appears when I try to enter sound preferences:

I did an update during a time when power was cycling due do a nasty snow storm, but I'm pretty sure the update was completed successfully before I lost power. What did happen though is that my BIOS setup was reset.
Now if my HP Laserjet 1020 is plugged into USB during boot all other USB devices freeze for a while. So I played with my BIOS setting for USB:
- Enabled V1.1 and V2.0
- Disabled System USB Shadowing
So now my bootup doesn't hang. But now when I actually go into Karmic I still can't print.
dmesg shows the following:
[ 205.940008] usb 1-10: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9
[ 219.510026] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 10

Windows won't boot on Grub after I just updated Ubuntu. I tried to follow the solutions to other people who have had similar problems, but I can't get them to work for me. I am assuming you will want to see this code...

Ubuntu tried to update, but some problems occurred. The triangle with an exclamation point in it showed up and I rolled my mouse over it.This is what it says:
"The update information is outdated. This may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer available. Please update manually by clicking on this icon and then selection 'Check for updates' and check if some of the listed repositories fail."
I did what it says and this came up:"The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct."
and in the white box below the message:"Failed to fetch url 404 Not Found
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."

I have Ubuntu 10.4 on one system and I like it very well for having it just a short time. I have installed Kubuntu 10.4 last night on a older system and so far I am having problems learning the OS. I think its just learning the KDE. Anyway my system has a 850 mhz processor, 765 ram and 128 mb GeForce 5200 graphics card. Just would like to confirm my system would run it suffecient or I should go with something lighter. So far I seem to like Ubuntus Gnome much better but am willing to give KDE some time.

I have a number of systems with Fedora on them, they are connected to a network but are not allowed to connect to the internet. So I am trying to find a solution to patch these systems in a simple way.My solution which i thought of, however, still having a problem with is as follows:
1- Download the files from the "repodata" (e.g. for "update" repository) using a machine that is connected to the internet.
2- Copy these files(e.g. using flash drive) to one on of these Fedora systems into the /var/cache/yum/i386/12/updates (or /var/cache/yum/updates for older versions).
3- Run "yum -C check-update" (-C so it will not try to update and will use the local files). (I am having a problem at this step and I get this message "no such table: packages", the solution that i found on the internet suggested cleaning the cache which is not what i want to do!).
4- After getting the list of needed files I will parse the primary.xml.gz file and grab the actual file names then append the base URL to them and save it into a file.
5- take that file to the online machine and run wget to grab all needed patches.
6- Take the files back to the system and put them in (i think /var/cache/yum/i386/12/updates/packages/) and run "yum -C update" However, now i am having a problem with step 3 and also not sure if step 6 is correct.
So does any of you guys know how to solve this, or if there is a better or easier way to do this??* Keep in mind that those machines are not allowed to connect to the internet or even connect to another machine that is connected, but we still need to patch them and keep them secure.

I have an ATI radeon HD 3400 series video card, and the open-source drivers make my computer run really hot. I tried installing FGLRX by using "Check For New Hardware Drivers", but it did not work, so I installed the ATI catalyst 10.5 package from AMD's website, and am using Xserver-xorg-core-1.7.6-2ubuntu7+backclear1 from k0ekk0ek's PPA so there is no lag when minimizing windows and such.
Everything was perfect until the 2.6.32-23 kernel update came along. I let it update, and rebooted, but the ATI driver no longer starts, even when I uninstall and reinstall it.
I am just using the 2.6.32-22 kernel for now, as the 2.6.32-23 kernel still runs hot without the ATI driver enabled. I would like to start using the new kernel at some point...

early tl;dr: The fancy grub breaks on my wubi 10.04 install, can I force it to use the old grub?
When I rebuild grub.cfg (last time was yesterday for kernel update to .37), and shut down / reboot, grub breaks because it can't 'loadfont' and a few other errors which are related to the 'graphical' grub boot menu.
To fix this I have to boot into a live CD (also Ubuntu 10.04) and run the following:
Taken from [URL]
Code:
sudo fdisk -l
sudo mkdir /win
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /win
sudo mkdir /vdisk
sudo mount -o loop /win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /vdisk
[Code]....
I know how to fix it but is there a way to skip having to do this on upgrades
(If I edit the grub.cfg before shutting down then this doesn't happen, obviously, but sometimes I forget and this is the result. I'd rather stop the problem at it's source than fight against the updater).

X is working, I get a desktop, all updates are current, just no Unity menus/window/widgets/whatever, blank desktop with single mapped network folder and no working keyboard shortcuts after initial login. I upgraded on Alpha 2 and it ate my desktop, never has given it back for 3 months. I assumed eventually the upgrades would fix it. Looked into ditching Unity and doing GDM, but thought I'd wait it out, ran dpkg-reconfigure unity and it did nothing, can't find any relevant errors in the logs, where should I be looking and/or what should I be doing? Running lots of servers on this box and have dual-boot, otherwise I'd probably torch it and start over.

I was browsing the available packages to install the weather indicator and noticed that a network indicator was available. apt-get said that it needed to install 'connman' and remove 'network-manager' and 'network-manager-gnome' in order to install the network indicator. I foolishly assumed it knew what it was doing so I went ahead and performed the installation/removal and restarted the computer.
Now I cannot connect to the internet. I only have an ethernet card for connection to the internet, no wireless or otherwise. The configuration I use is not DHCP, but a manual settings of address/subnet/gateway and name servers
When I try to set the network values through the network indicator some of them do not stay set. The gateway value appears to be set, but then after closing down the indicator window completely it comes up with the value 'Modified'. The DNS servers is the only other value that does not stay set, but it only changes to be blank. The connection never works.
So, I downloaded 'network-manager' and 'network-manager-gnome' on another computer, transferred the packages by USB, and reinstalled them (uninstalling connman and the network indicator). But the network connection remains broken. At least with 'network-manager-gnome' the values I set stay set, they just don't work anymore. I've tried editing /etc/network/interfaces to previously working values directly, but they do not seem to have any effect either. The connection no longer works.
I really do not care if I use the network indicator or not at this point, I simply want the network connection to work properly.
Edit: I realize I forgot to say that I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 (upgraded from 10.10). The network card is the "Integrated Broadcom 57780 Gigabit Ethernet controller".

My mythbuntu 10.10 system including its lirc managed remote control has been working fine.I've recently done some updates (see below) and now the remote doesn't work correctly (only some of its keys seem to work). I suspect that lirc is no longer managing the remote and now instead the remote is now being treated like a keyboard.How do I get lirc managing my remote control correctly again,Before the updates the kernel was:
Code:
$ uname -a
Linux pvr 2.6.35-28-generic-pae #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 20:43:15 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

I've just installed Lucid Lynx on both my machines in the interest of sitting and waiting for the Unity/Gnome 3 storm to blow over. On the HP (see below), everything works great, and I've followed instructions online on how to upgrade to LibreOffice, upgrade the kernel to 2.6.38 using the kernel PPA, etc.
However, on the IBM, I'm using Nvidia proprietary graphics drivers. These work well on the stock kernel that 10.04 installed (2.6.32-32), but installing 2.6.38 seems to break the driver. If I install the driver first, and then the kernel on top, X stops working and I have to revert to the default, generic driver to get back in. Once there, I cannot install the driver again. The Additional Drivers dialog goes through the motions, but then drops a "systemerror: installarchives() failed" error message.
So, is there a different version of the driver I should be trying to install? I should clarify at this point I tried all three options the Additional Drivers dialog provided me, all gave the same result (version 96, version 173, and version current).
Or should I leave the kernel at 2.6.32? Is there any downside to leaving it?

I have a netbook, on which I installed the netbook remix. It had ran fine until one day, I shut it down while it was updating. Now, on bootup, it will take me to the login screen and then basically freezes. The keyboard and mouse do not work and I cannot login to any profile. I tried a clean reinstall, but it only finds the preferences I have and sends me right back to the login screen.
