After upgrade to 10.10 and when i do update or tries to install/update/remove i get following message

i made a few updates and now i am stuck into windows. I have Windows Xp, and installed ubuntu 10.04 using wubi. I was using ubuntu, updates poped up, and after they finished i restarted and...crash!
Now, if i try to run ubuntu instead of Windows my pc will reset. I have tried to make a bootable ubuntu version into my pendrive and to use Super GRUB2 Disk, but cant launch any of them. Any idea of how to solve this problem? Maybe it ispossible to install grub from windows?
I was running Update manager and my old system pull a 'freeze/lockup' before things were completed so I have tried using apt-get; I first updated then upgraded and get the same issue as in Update mgr with 2 small packages, 1 Rythmbox and 1 software center. This is the terminal just before, during and after:
-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I just installed ubuntu 9.10 on a 4GB usb stick given the menu item at the top. I selected 512MB for my own user space. then I rebooted, and started updating it. I am getting almost 200 packages by default now that need to be updated.
alas, ubuntu live update now runs out of space while doing the update. this is not because 4GB is too little, but because too little space seems to be dedicated to the root partition.
what is the recommended way to have an up-to-date 9.10 copy now?
I've got a dual boot system with both Vista and Ubuntu. After upgrading to 10.04 my Vista doesn't load anymore. I select it in the Grub menu and the computer just hangs.
Are there any known fixes for this? Where do I start? I'm an Ubuntu novice, but I'm an able computer fixer.
I would like to know the quickest way to create either an ISO or bootable USB media that contains all the updates since the release of 10.04 for easy installations in environments that have slow Internet or no Internet. What would you all suggest?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently updated the kernel of lucid from 2.6.32-22 to the ""-23 release through update manager. Now whenever i try to boot the new kernel from GRUB the screen goes black and the computer stops responding with the caps lock and scroll lock lights flashing on the keyboard.
I can still boot into ""-22 fine and keep using ubuntu.
My first thought that the problem was the newer kernel itself so I tried to update to 2.6.33-5 from [url]but the same boot problem exists within this one also.
Because it goes straight into the black screen after GRUB I have no way of telling what has happened without error messages. Would this appear in any log files and if so which ones?
I recently upgraded Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.35 on x86/x86_64 from 2.6.35-22 to 2.6.35-23. and my system will not reboot to the upgraded kernel. To reboot I have to force shutdown my Toshiba L-450 laptop and the restart. This brings me to the GRUB screen were I can choose to use the previous 2.6.35-22. Normally do not see the GRUB screen as I am only running Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit on this computer. I have tried reinstalling linux-headers-2.6.35-23 and linux-headers-2.6.35-23-generic and got the same result.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu 11.04. But now whenever I click 'Check' in my UpdateManager, it always said 'No update found' But the UpdateManager said 'The package information was last updated less than one hour ago.'
How can I fix it?
I have Jaunty 9.04 and I was sitting online yesterday and the update manager came up. I let it do its thing as usual, but it seemed to have an issue with some firefox related package (having to do with branding?) and then the little flipping-out icon showed up in my tray saying that a package broke. It did not, and the firefox launcher turned into a missing puzzle brick and clicking it causes a small window to come up with the following message:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
Line Number 31, Column 1:<window id="main-window"
^
So I might have tried to uninstall firefox from synaptic or something, but this just created more errors and I don't think it worked properly anyway. Inside Synaptic, there is one listed as a "broken" package in the broken filter. It is something to do with Firefox Branding AMD64 and all that goodness.
Don't know if there's going to be much anyone can do but I just installed UNR to my Acer and did an update, restarted it and it went blank screen for ages, and the hard drive light went on, I assumed this was a crash so re-started the computerTried turning it back on and it again had a blank screen, no HD light, tried again same, took battery out and did the same (this has worked previously with Limpus) and no luckI don't even get to the BIOS menu.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I have been using Ubuntu for the past couple of months using Wubi, mainly because my parent's are afraid that I'll screw something up on the computer if I partition the hard drive and stuff like that. And Today I installed the latest updates for 9.10, asked me to restart the computer, and now whenever I try to boot using the latest kernel GRUB keeps telling me to "Load kernel first". The funny thing is that I can boot with the older kernel fine, But I would really like to get the lates updates, which I can't using the older kernel.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just updated my Wubi install of 9.10 to 10.04 last night. Everything went well until it required me to reboot the computer. I rebooted, loaded Ubuntu from the startup list, and then the screen went blank and I got "H.V. frequency over range" on the monitor.
I can load the GRUB options, but recovery mode using the most recent kernel does not work. I am entirely unexperienced with using the terminal and command prompt options.
Here's what I have attempted so far:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg this did not do anything, the command was not recognized
$sudo nano xorg.config I don't even know what to do when I get to this screen
and I am about to try $ sudo displayconfig-gtk
I have an ATI Radeon 9100 IGP card
So I am experimenting with other linux distros.....I just installed a small partition with OpenGEU, the one still based on Ubuntu.....now it wont recognize Mint. Ubuntu Studio is next on my list, but before I invest any more work I want to make sure I can add more partitions to grub, not just the most recent linux partition...
I think that future distros of linux should have a fix for this....if you install linux it should detect every other operating system on the disk, not just windows plus the most recent linux install.
install /boot separate? I always create a / and /home partition but never separate boot. Does that make life easier?
I'm a GRUB novice, unfortunately. My system is a 7-year old Dell tower. Two hard drives, each sliced up into a bunch of ~30 GB partitions. I dual-boot WinXP and Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10. I think I have GRUB2, but don't know how to check without being able to boot. This problem arose during a standard upgrade when I didn't pay attention and GRUB updated and apparently destroyed itself. Now when I boot my system, I get the following message:
Code:
Booting from local disk...
GRUB loading.
error: no such disk
grub rescue>
Almost every fix I found in my searching involved:
Code:
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
but none of the solutions said what to do if that file wasn't found.
When I boot from my Ubuntu install DVD, I can mount my various partitions and browse their filesystems, so it appears that my data is all still intact, I just can't get to it. What should I try next?
Is there a way to automatically remove the old linux image when a new one is updated?
When my system boots up it shows option
Ubuntu kernel version x.x.x-21
Ubuntu kernel version x.x.x-22
Ubuntu kernel version x.x.x-23
Ubuntu kernel version x.x.x-24
memtest
memtest + console
Windows 7 loader
Ubuntu seems to boot up the exact same regardless if I choose version 21 or 24. Dont recall the exact kernel since I am not in front of my computer now.
Here is a brief history of my problem:
-Ran Windows XP Media Center for most of the life of this HP Pavilion notebook with 2 hard drives, C: and D:, no partitions except the default HP recovery partition
-Yesterday, installed Ubuntu 9.10 through Wubi on D: from an ISO (because the CD drive doesn't work). I assigned it 30gb on D:, which I assume created a 30gb FAT32 partition on this secondary drive.
-Dual booted successfully from Grub between XP and Ubuntu, so I thought, "Mission accomplished" and started making friends with GNOME. Got a pretty good score in Tetris.
-Was asked if I would like to update to the latest Ubuntu (10.04 I think?) which struck me as a good idea. Everything went smoothly until it asked me to reboot.
-Reboot brought me to a command-line that says "grub rescue>" and above it says "error: no such device: e76e00f3-........" (there's more, I can write it out if that helps)
-Rebooted several more times (cause that usually fixes things) but just got back to "error: no such device: ..." and "grub rescue>"
And that's where I am now. I have almost no experience with how Linux (UNIX?) works differently than Windows or how to use the command line. I know that the hard drives are (hd0), (hd1) instead of C: and D: and that everything important seems to start with "sudo" and that's about it. I was going to ease myself into the whole thing gradually, picking up little bits as I go along. But now I'm just stuck in command line limbo and none of my usual troubleshooting strategies apply here, not even yelling rude things about the computer's manufacturer.
Downloaded the Wubi exe today to install 10.10 on a new netbook. But at launch it reads, "You are about to install Ubuntu 10.04". So I guess wubi has not been updated yet for the new release?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWanted to try Ubuntu for the first time i used a wubi install and i made sure i had duel boot when i selected for the installment because id like to play some games every once in a while well i got some updates from Ubuntu today and after i installed them when i restarted my computer i noticed that windows 7 wasn't there to choose.
I have 10.10 installed idk if this will help but here # RESULTS.txt
So last night, ubuntu popped up with some updates. It was like...56mb or so worth. So I downloaded them. Once they were done, my mouse stopped working. (trackpad on my netbook) I restarted using the keyboard a couple times, shut it off, pulled the battery...but the mouse won't work. I havent tried an external yet, but I hope it will work so I can fix the trackpad problem. So, I loaded into Windows to check the mouse there, and it works fine. Is it a simple fix? Or, is it not so simple?

Hey, yesterday I decided to update from 10.10 to 11.04.
I was using Windows Vista in dual-boot with Ubuntu but after updating Ubuntu to 11.04 I lost my dual-boot menu. It worked without problems before update. Now it starts automatically to Ubuntu log in screen.
I've tried so far:
1. Updating GRUB via terminal
2. Looked at my menu entries

grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I just upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 - now localhost:631 (CUPS) doesn't work anymore. However, I can still print. When I try to reload on localhost:631 I get: "Unable to connect - Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:631."
This is really really annoying. Please help. I've tried to google a lot, but I cannot see what's wrong. I've tried to completely re-install all cups-packages with synaptic, but that didn't work. Right now I think cups is running: $ status cups cups start/running, process 899 Worst thing is that previously today,
I did a clean install of 11.04 this morning. Upon logging in, Update Manager appeared, telling me there were 67 packages to upgrade. I obliged, and the update progress window appeared, as usual. At this point I realized it was not a convenient time to install the updates. No progress had yet been made; Update Manager had not downloaded anything, the progress bar had not moved, and the status was "waiting". I canceled the update and closed Update manager. However, upon running it again, it thinks that it successfully installed all the packages. In the "Ubuntu Software Center" Update history, it shows all those packages as having been updated with a timestamp of when I canceled the update. Apt-get and aptitude will not update the packages either. It seems like the packages have been marked as updated even though no update was installed. How can I rectify this problem and get the package managers to actually install the updates?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI set up my home server like 3 year ago on a Fedora core 4, I am running a NAT, firewall and FTP very smoothly on it. In the past 3 years, it has been doing perfectly without any modification/ upgrade. But recently, I just realized I might need a VPN server on it, but the recent release of OpenVPN doesn't support Fedora core 4 anymore, therefore I suddenly want to make an upgrade. I've read the articles/ manual for Fedora 13, yet I do not find any suggestion on how to upgrade to 13 from core 4.
how can I do an upgrade in the easiest manner as I don't want the server cease working too long (I need its NAT for my network).
I've recently built a VM appliance using Ubuntu 8.04 that is given to customers for an easy deployment of our software. Ubuntu works great in a VM and its perfect for our software (which is a web application).
Some customers are paranoid (rightfully so) and they will run a vulnerability assessment on the web application. A particular customers' assessment fails as it finds that the appliance isn't running the latest version the Apache web server. I thought that just running "apt-get upgrade" would upgrade all of the software packages to the latest so that failures in the assessment caused by outdated software packages would be resolved... However this is not the case...
I realize that there is a probably a whole process for submitting/approving the latest versions of software packages in Ubuntu, that then get pushed to the repositories - But how does this work? What exactly does "apt-get upgrade" do if it doesnt upgrade packages to the latest?
For example: I need Apache 2.2.11 to fix a particular vulnerability. But when running apt-get upgrade, it doesnt actually upgrade the Apache version number (or any of the other packages). I'm stuck on Apache 2.2.8, and I can't find a .DEB installer for 2.2.11 or later.
i updated tis morning to 10.04 on a compaq netbook and only problem is that the system minimizes all windows.... Can't kee a window on top for more than 2 secs. It seems that all is ok,any program i klick runs but it immediatly minimizes and won't stay open. I cant do anything,i have to type one character at a time.
