So i am running Kubuntu with kde4 on my laptop. The game Wesnoth recently got updated to 1.8 and when i go to kpackagekit it does not show wesnoth 1.8 it only shows 1.6.5 or whatever. This may have something to do with my repository (<----- Know very little about),

I am just a fresh starter at Ubuntu so I ask you for some comprehension and to answer my question about a problem I have. I had started upgrading Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04, everything went fine until a message appeared saying:
Failed to fetch [URL]...untu1_i386.deb 404 Not Found
Failed to fetch [URL]...untu3_i386.deb 404 Not Found
Failed to fetch [URL]...3.11-1_all.deb 404 Not Found
Failed to fetch [URL]...untu1_i386.deb 404 Not Found
Failed to fetch [URL]..._1.0.3_all.deb 404 Not Found
Failed to fetch [URL]..._1.0.3_all.deb 404 Not Found
Then I had to close the upgrading process because of that message I tried again but it came out with the same result.
The upgrade instructions say you can use the upgrade manager to go from 10.4 to 10.10. I am currently running 9.10. Will this still work? Or do I have to go to 10.4 first? Or can I download the 10.10 alternate install iso and upgrade directly with that for both my Ubuntu and UbuntuStudio installations?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've not really need the computer for much for a while and have let the updates slip! I've got 9.04 and obviously need a newer version. I read that it's best to upgrade to 9.10 first then go from there, but my version is so old all the information is using update manager (just click this button blah blah) but of course this isn't supported now so can't use that method.
I don't really know any other way to upgrade other than following the links in update manager
ps forgot to say my cd coping sometimes messes up, don't know if it's software or hardware so was looking for methods to avoid downloading onto cds then upgrading from that! but will have to try this if no other way
I have a Dell Mini 10V running Ubuntu Linux 8.04 LTS. I need to upgrade to the latest version of Linux. Which of the latest versions I can upgrade to and exactly which download to use (a reference to the actual download and page it is on) to be able to upgrade. I have looked at the many different versions and types of downloads and have no idea which to choose to be able to use the correct one.

I'm going to install Ubuntu 64bit, currently run 10.10 32bit. I'm thinking about going back to 10.04 in combination with a previous version of wine(maybe 1.2?) to get some games working again.
Do any of you know if games are still working well with this combination? I'm looking to play WoW at some point, Oblivion + Expansion/Mods, any FPS available.
This game is Java based. After rebooting the game works, but on ending the game several notification boxes remain. If these boxes are not closed in the reverse order that the game opened them, it is no longer possible to close them. Only by killing the Java processes can these notifications be made to close. Also after playing the game, even if all these notifications are closed it is many times necessary to kill the Java process(es) in order to get the game to load again at a later time. I am currently using Slackware 1.30, but a similar problem has existed in several of the past releases.

Ok my friend just got me started on lennox and i'm having two issues.
1st issue) I'm trying to compile the new Wesnoth but its asking for a cd rom drive when i type the sudo code. Me being on a netbook i don't have a cd drive. Is there anyway around that?
2nd issue) I have the Netbook remix lay out with the overlays but i'd like to to have the standard one my friends have. How would i go about that.
I want to run the development version of the game Battle for Wesnoth, but I'm having some problems compiling it...I downloaded the latest version (1.9.1) and followed the installation instructions;
cd /usr/src
sudo tar -xvjf wesnoth-1.9.1.tar.bz2
cd wesnoth-1.9.1
sudo ./configure --datadir=/usr/share/games/wesnoth/
I managed to get to this point, after some small problems, but 'configure' told me I needed SDL.I installed SDL (libsdl1.2-dev) using the Software Center, but now it sais;
Code:
checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.7 and SDL_ttf - version >= 2.0.8... no
configure: error: *** Please upgrade your SDL and/or SDL_ttf version
The version that was installed seems to be 1.2.14 I also looked for sdl-ttf, and that was also already installed (version 2.0.9)

But many a times, sound stops, and Wesnoth needs to be closed from System Monitor by killing processes, or using "killall -ser username" Command from Console. So, in Wesnoth Channel, they told that it is a problem of ALSA.

I notice the version of mdadm distributed in Ubuntu is 2.6.7.1, but versions exist up to 2.6.9 (excluding all the 3.X ones) Is it worth using a later version? Or is 2.6.7.1 used for a particular reason?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI upgraded Ubuntu from version 10.04 to 10.10. When the upgrade completed I was asked to reboot. After reboot I simply got the message "error: file not found" on the screen. After a few seconds the machine rebooted.
I guess it is the boot loader that was not found. Is there some hope of fixing this problem?
Thinking of installing openSuSE on my laptop and wondering how the upgrade process is. I know 12.1 is coming out in only a couple of months. I don't really want to spend all my time customizing 11.4 and then find out a straight upgrade is very buggy or even not possible and have to reinstall.

Shortly after upgrading to Meerkat I discovered that my macbook timemachine backups became unreliable to the point of uselessness. After a bit of googling it appears that Meerkat's version of Netatalk (2.1.2) has some issues that bust timemachine. These issues are supposedly fixed in version 2.1.3. So... what is the best way for me to go about upgrading Netatalk past the official Meerkat release version?
The Netatalk project is at version 2.1.5. I could uninstall the Meerkat packages and just try to build Netatalk directly from source. However I'm a little leary about losing all of my existing AFPD filesystem meta-data. The Natty Narwhal repository appears to have version 2.1.4 which I've read should solve my problem. Is there any way to install the binaries from the Natty repositories? Can I download the source package from the Natty repositories and rebuild the package with Meerkat libraries/dependencies?
I have been trying for the last couple of days to upgrade a Xen guest running on Xen Server 5.5 from 11.0 to a more recent version. I have tried both 11.3 and 11.1. The upgrade seems to take, but it fails on the initial boot. It seems that it is expecting the root partition to be on /dev/sda2 - however I believe it is supposed to be /dev/xvda2. Initially when fstab had /dev/xvda2 I had a warning, so I changed fstab through yast to use the drives uuid. I've also tried zypper dup - but that gave all sorts of dependency errors. For kicks, I thought I might try 11.4 next. Am I out of luck and should just go with a fresh install?

Q2. What are the differences between both?
I am a software developer, presently porting a game engine from Visual Studio to GCC. I'm working on LTS 10.04. The project uses C++ lambdas, and I really would like to keep it this way. Therefore, I need GCC >= 4.5 to compile it.
I wouldn't like to reinstall entire OS, or to have to manually update this single program every time. Is there an option to update it from 10.10 repositories, pointing out, that I need only this package (and it's dependencies)? Or is there any PPA that does the trick for me?
Generally, the entire packaging system of Ubuntu rocks, as long as I can find up-to-date PPAs of all packages I need to have in recent versions (like mono).
