Fedora Installation :: Upgrade RH9 To F10 - Install Fails - Installer Fails Media Check Due To "errors"
Jan 23, 2009I am trying to upgrade RH9 to F10. I have downloaded dvd iso image i386. The SHA1 integrity check passes. The installer fails media check due to "errors". I did an independent verification of the DVD and zero errors found. Download was from Fedora's own torrent, so files should be verified anyway. If I bypass the media check I get the message : Running anaconda 11.4.1.62 the Fedora system installer - please wait.....

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade From 10.04 To 10.10 Fails?
Jan 10, 2011In trying to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, the installation fails when checking software channels. The error basically says that there are breaks, broken depends and unmet dependencies. Yet Package Manager shows that there are no broken packages and mostly everything is running OK except for the Suspend option which doesn't work in 10.04 on a good number of various laptops. I am using an IBM Thinkpad R51 laptop with 1.5 GHz and 512 MB RAM. I have never had a problem like this with any Ubuntu upgrade in the past. How can I get past this problem and upgrade to 10.10? Log files available upon request. If log files needed, Someone on Launchpad said it's because I have third party software installed. But, this never happened before with previous Ubuntu upgrades.

May 1, 2010Installed v9 a couple of weeks back and have been causally mucking about with it since. I managed to get XP and ubuntu running as a dual boot system (which was an achievement ).
Anyway, i've upgraded to 10.04 - and already loving it. However... my XP o/s no longer boots. It use to prior to the upgrade. Now, when the XP o/s is selected from GRUB2, I just get a series of bleeps and a flashing _.
Now, I am a complete novice. I actually have no idea where to even begin trouble shooting GRUB2 (and i'm assuming its a problem with GRUB).
Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 To 10.4 Upgrade Fails On HD 5770?
May 9, 2010It seemed to upgrade the first round and looks like it booted back into Ubuntu (I had Purple background) and asked for updates and I installed them and on reboot I lose video when entering desktop. I see the initial purple Ubuntu loading screen, but when it goes away I lose video completely and my monitor says it's unplugged.
I tried the grub nomodeset without luck. I am at the desktop in safe mode. If someone can tell me how to edit a file to enable the graphics again, I'd be forever grateful. Sorry if this was answered, but search only gave me help with the Intel 850 graphics problems and not what I was seeking.
Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade 9.10->10.04 Fails To Boot
Jun 10, 2010Dual boot Windows XP SP3 & Ubuntu 9.10 on a single hdd, w/2 partitions. Booted to Ubuntu and upgraded online. XP boots fine, but Ubuntu, not so much; a msg about /dev not found, followed by a shell login prompt. I suspect a grub problem, but haven't been able to find a definitive answer. Since I can at least boot XP, I do not want to do anything that would screw that up and leave me with no bootable OS. I did the "upgrade" shortly after 10.04 was released. Is there a way to reliably fix this w/o possibly screwing up my ability to boot XP, the only OS I can boot? I have no Ubuntu 10.04 disk, as I used their upgrade online option.

May 1, 2011The Update Manager has tried to upgrade me to version 11 three times now, and fails each time.
First I get a warning, that probably isn't important: "Third party sources disabled
Some third party entries in your sources.list were disabled. You can re-enable them after the upgrade with the 'software-properties' tool or your package manager."
After the upgrade I get this:
"Could not install the upgrades The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).
Upgrade complete The upgrade has completed but there were errors during the upgrade process."
The console has about six messages similar to this, all complaining about the vnc-e package:
"warning, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 10992 package 'vnc-e': error in Version string '4.4.3_r16583': invalid character in version number"

Ubuntu Installation :: Fails To Boot After Upgrade To 11.04?
Aug 1, 2011I just upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 but now all the kernels fail to boot. The resolution of grub changed and the older kernels are put into a 'previous kernels' folder. The most recent kernel halts at the message '* Stopping userspace bootsplash [ OK ]' and the previous kernels fail with the message 'Unlink after no-irq. Controller is probably using the wrong IRQ',
or show the background of the login screen with just a white box.
I think the cause is that I have an ATI graphics card (HD Radeon 3650), because on my 2 other computers ubuntu upgrades fine and they have NVIDEA graphics cards.
As a last resort I tried installing different distro's like Linux Mint but it also gived me the 'unlink after no-irq' message.
Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Upgrade - Fails With Broken Dependencies
Apr 30, 2010I've been trying all morning to update from a working 9.10 to 10.04 and unfortunately every time I try it blocks me.
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade From CD Fails / Needs Internet Connection / Not Using Packages On Cd
Oct 11, 2010I use the CD upgrade method to upgrade my kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10.Not to mention,the ISO image of the CD is this one :kubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso.At the first run I choose YES for the prompt asking for internet connection or whatever, but I immediately realise that I have chosen a wrong option, so I exit and restart the upgrade all over again.On the second run, I choose NO for the prompt , then the installation continues until it reaches the 'fetching files' stage. It pops up and says "The upgrade has aborted. Please check your internet connection or installation media and try again. All files downloaded so far are kept."
I don't want to reinstall the whole system again because I want my applications;I don't want to use the updater to upgrade because I have a low internet speed .

Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 Video Fails On Boot - Install - Upgrade And Live CD
Jan 24, 2010When I ran the distribution upgrade from 9.04 in update manager, my screen went blank on reboot and will not recover. Every time I reboot, screen goes blank. I cannot press CTRL-ALT F1 - F6 to gain access to text shells.
I tested booting from the 9.04 live CD and it works fine. So I downloaded the 9.10 live cd on another computer and booted it on the disabled system. Same exact problem on the live CD that I had upon installation: on boot screen goes black and cannot access text shells.
What can I do next to get out of this short of going back to 9.04, which has problems that I do not want to live with?
Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade 8.10 Intrepid To 9.04 Jaunty With Update Manager Fails
Feb 11, 2010I had an old machine running Feisty.I followed the EOL guides and upgraded from 7.04 => 7.10 => 8.04 => 8.10 (intrepid).Now that I'm at intrepid, I want to use the update manager to upgrade to 9.04 (Jaunty). Whenever I launch update manager (System->Administration->Update Manager) everything looks fine until I choose "New distribution release '9.04' is available" and click the Upgrade button.
At this point, Update Manager complains and says "Could not find the release notes" "The server may be overloaded". I'm assuming this could be a faulty URL somewhere, but I wouldn't know where. My sources.list seems to work fine for regular intrepid updates, so not sure there would be anything there that could be the fault. Once I get this error, I can only click "close".
Extracting the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. Obviously, my general networking is fine (or I wouldn't be able to post this message)..and again, standard updates work fine.Any insight into what is causing this (or maybe how Update Manager works so that I might try a bit of debugging myself?
Ubuntu Installation :: Lucid Fails To Boot After Aptitude Full-upgrade
May 12, 2010I run "aptitude update;aptitude full-upgrade" today, then I updated /etc/default/grub changing only the default boot line number, and I dully run update-grub, with no error messages. Now Kubuntu will not boot. The new kernel 2.6.32-22 is in the boot menu. When I turn the computer on, a blinking cursor appears on top line, column 8, and after a few seconds this cursor disappears and the screen is blank - my monitor indicates no video signal.
The failsafe 2.6.32-22 grub line does not boot either. I tried pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F2 etc. up to Ctrl-Alt-F10 to get to a text mode login prompt, but the screen remains blank and my monitor indicates no video signal. The workaround is to boot to kernel 2.6.32-21. The machine is Athlon XP, 2GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9600
Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 Upgrade On USB Flash Drive Fails To Boot / Sort It?
Dec 4, 2010I have a 1.0 ghz G4 eMac running Tiger. Using Ubuntu 10.04's Live-CD I installed 10.04 on a 8-gig USB flash drive and it worked very well despite spending nearly five hours to download its files via DSL and a pokey USB 1.1 port. The flash drive's 10.04 installation worked just fine on my eMac and 900mhz G3 iBook except for Airport wireless non-connecting issues.(I like Ubuntu 10.04 because unlike Mint for PPC, you're not hassled or barred from accessing your Mac HD and its files.) THEN, to resolve my wireless issues, I decided to upgrade to 10.10 which took nearly 12 hours, and it seemed to've installed well until I tried booting the flash drive and it doesn't work. I get the Ubuntu icon in the Startup Disk screen but it keeps returning to it even after I select Ubuntu. The error screen I get reads code...

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 To 11.04 Upgrade Fails With "ubuntu-minimal" Cannot Be Found Error
May 6, 2011I've seen this happening to others, but can't find the original bug report I saw. From what I can tell I'm getting the error because I am using a local mirror, as others have successfully updated using "official" mirrors.
What would cause the installer to differentiate between a local and an official mirror? I'm pulling everything anl.gov has for Lucid, Maverick, and Natty, and had no problems using the local mirror to dist-upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10.
The exact error is:

Ubuntu / Apple :: PPC G3 Upgrade Fails?
Sep 2, 2010I have a G3 Mac using the 6.06 PPC version of Ubuntu. The Update Manager stated there is the update to PPC 8.04 LTS so I went ahead and updated it. After 6 hours of downloading and updating, now it only boots to a blank/black screen as if it is trying to use a non-native resolution. One time I did hear the login (drum) sound but still nothing on the screen. Any way I can boot into a cli to troubleshoot this? During the entire booting process I only see black screens, a few text screens (yaboot, then another with Loading Please wait), one has the typing cursor at the top left for about 1 minute. I can hear the hard drive running and searching as if all is working and loading, just nothing on the screen.
I tried the same thing a few months ago and the only way to get it working was to put in the 6.06 alt PPC CD and format/reinstall.
