I have been using 10.04 Desktop on my laptop. Now, I want to use 10.10 netbook. Can someone clarify me if I can upgrade from 10.04 LTS desktop to 10.10 Netbook?
View 1 RepliesUpgrade from netbook remix to desktop/laptop version?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am making the switch to Linux and I really love Ubuntu. My DVD player isn't working, so I'm using my flash drive. It was too small for the desktop installer, so I used the netbook. I'm installing it as I type this (having the browser thats available for browsing while installing is awesome!)
Is there a way to upgrade to move to the desktop version after I finish? Also, what's the difference between the two. Links are fine. I tried google, but my google-fu must not be too strong today.
I installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook on to my laptop but i think desktop version will suit it better. is there a way of switching it without losing any data?

512mb ram

1.4ghz intel pentium 4 processor
is this ok to install and would any graphics run ok or could i switch them off so it would run smooth. is there a way to upgrade to 9.10 and netbook remix can i order a free ubuntu netbook remix cd? i am using a laptop not a netbook i want netbook remix as it looks and is very clean and simple and would be a really nice change from the boring gnome theme no offence. finally can you turn it off just if you need to use a normal gnome desktop.
I am using 9.10 netbook remix and it only offers the 10.04 LTS upgrade option. Can I upgrade it to the 10.04 netbook edition instead?
View 4 Replies View Relatedis it possible to upgrade Ubuntu Netbook Remix from 9.10 to UNR 10.04 using ubuntu_netbook_remix_10.04 cd or iso? if yes than how?
as far as I know it is possible to upgrade from cd using Alternate cd's, but what I want is to stay with netbook remix so dont want to upgrade to desktop or anything else.
I have been using with dual boot on my netbook. All has been well until I went through the upgrade process from 9.10 to 10.04. After going through the process the netbook restarted went past the splash screen and displayed the message error: no such device:a0c6fc38-13ae-4af3-8fde-0a7e16bb6637 grub rescue>
I cant even go through the recovery options on the splash screen it just reverts to the above message.
I want to upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 from Ubuntu netbook remix 10.10, When I go to the update manager and check for updates it says that no updates were found, It also doesnt say that there is a new version available, I've checked my settings and its set to normal upgrades.

I got a Sony Vaio VGN-TX3 XP, from 2006.
I have installed 10.4 desktop edition, as usual, but it is really slow.
I was wondering :
1. woudl i gain to install the 10.4 Netbook edition ?
2. how to updgrade from one to the other without doing a fresh install ?
Is there a way to install 10.10 (or upgrade from 10.4) and keep the 10.4 UI instead of the junk that is the 10.10 netbook UI ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI had the desktop version of ubuntu installed on my netbook previously. Then I got the 11.04 update which changed my desktop to what I think is the netbook version of ubuntu, which I highly dislike. Is there any way to change it back?
View 3 Replies View RelatedX 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was running Ubuntu 10.4 netbook version (with Gnome) on my Dell Inspiron 910 and yesterday it told me there was an upgrade available, to Natty. I followed the links, did the download, and left it to install overnight. When I got up today, it said it had a problem, because an application was using a file it needed. I thought I had closed everything before I started the process. I acknowledged the message, and proceeded to restart.
I ended up with the standard 10.4 Ubuntu screen, but with no tool bars, status bars, or anything. Just the wallpaper. Keyring login came up and I signed in, wireless said it was connected. So it looks like things are working, just no UI as such. Poked all the screen edges with the mouse, but nothing popped out.
Ctrl><Alt><Del> brought up the logout screen, and if I clicked on Help, I could ultimately get Firefox to run. (Note: the Help screen talks about Gnome, but it had the new popout scroll bars).
If I hold down <Shift> on startup, I get the GRUB menu. I am running linux generic 2.6.38-8 , but I am not sure where to go from there. Running dpkg didn't help.
I have Ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop pc and Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 on my Acer D250 10in Netbook.
I want to change my netbook Remix 9.10 to the full version of Ubuntu 9.10 as on my desktop
Is this possible and if so what do I do.
I've upgraded my netbook from Lucid to Maverick, and have a couple of questions:
1. My start-up apps don't appear to be running. In particular Tilda and Gnome-Do don't start up - and removal of the "Alt+F2" shortcut to run programs makes it hard to start them manually.
2. I'm still getting the old launcher as the desktop, with no search box in the top bar. (In many respects having the old launcher isn't so bad, as I'm Not Friends with the new Unity side-panel.
I'm considering upgrading my old fileserver from ubuntu 8.10 to 10.4, but i've got single concern, I have a 5TB sofware raid 5, that i realy don't want to loose in the process. And since it's almost full (below 1TB free), i can't do a full backup.
Is there any problem in with this, if i do the upgrade? i have to upgrade 8.10 to 9.4 to 9.10 to 10.04?
i would like to change my OS to Ubuntu netbook remix, but I already have installed Kubuntu netbook package.
Is there any easy way to make switch from Kubuntu to Ubuntu? Without need to delete all my data?
i would like to replace my Ubuntu Desktop version with the Netbook version. I dont mind losing my current data on the desktop version but if there is a way for me not too i would love to know
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 and immediately noticed the keyboard of my eeepc 1000HE was abnormally warm. Since I dual boot XP I booted to XP and found the fan running faster to compensate for the previous heat. This did not happen on Ubuntu-the fan just was barely running. I had to place the side of the netbook in order to feel the fan running. I issued "sensors" in terminal and it showed 67 degrees C for the cpu temp. Is the latest Ubuntu such a resource hug that it heats up the CPU?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have upgraded xubuntu to 9.04 and now when I login I just get a terminal window that I can't type anything into, rather than desktop loading. The resolution is also gone quite low.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI had nothing but Ubuntu 10.10 running for a long time. Just a few hours ago I decided to switch to the beta version of 11.04. The upgrade went fine and I was asked to restart my computer. I did so and was presented with the screen that says "Ubuntu" and 5 red dots. Nothing else will display and around 2 hours has past and Im still stuck on that screen
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to upgrade to 10.04 (from 9.10) I receive the following message:
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: The package 'ubuntu-desktop' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.
I could not bear once again going through the months of torment, searching forums and tearing of hair involved in getting 9.10 to install and get everything working the way I wanted if I had to do a clean install again. Mostly because I can't remember how I got round most of the issues... code...
ok did an regular (not version change) upgrade on friends pc and now have no desktop?
Boot loads to console and can logon to console but startx fails, checking logs it says it can't load nvidia module. As upgrade had included kernal i tried to boot to older kernel but this failed with grub error.
I tried console install of nvidia-current and nvidia-module (not sure if correct name but was nvidia kernel module) but still no joy.
I can install 6.06 desktop, but would like to move to a 8.04 server. I know I can do an upgrade from 6.06 desktop to 8.04 desktop, but how about to server? cdrom issues and heartache associated with other means of alternate iso installs are beating me up.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn another machine, I upgraded a 8.04 desktop to 10.04 using the update manager. The update went well, but after the reboot and login, the default desktop background is loaded, but there is no status bar to select programs, access system settings, etc. How can I fix the desktop to include the status bar so that I can use the system? I can right click on the desktop and it gives me options to create launchers, etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI cannot start the desktop session: After upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 (dual-boot system) via Alt+F2 as suggested on [URL]. Grub loads fine after reboot (booting Windows works, Upgrade without errors). If I boot Ubuntu (no matter which Kernel, etc.), I end up in shell (black screen + prompt, stating the new Ubuntu version) and being asked to log in. Entering my name and pw results in the shell prompt changing to my name, but nothing else. So how do I start the desktop session? Repairing packages had no effect...
