Ubuntu Installation :: Error Upgrading To 10.10 - An Unresolvable Problem Occurred While Calculating The Upgrade
Apr 26, 2011
I have just tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04 using the update manager
It asks me for me password and then a window opens saying "Upgrading Ubuntu to version 10.10"
It gets to "setting new software channels" then a message pops up saying "third party sources disabled" next a little error icon appears in the Notification Area then another message saying: Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held 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.
I keep getting the following msg as I try to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held 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." I don't think any of the issues above apply - can anyone offer advice on how to get around or "force " the upgrade
I am trying to update from ubuntu 10.04.1 to 10.10 using the do-release-upgrade command. I get this error:
Code:
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: The package 'update-manager-core' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.
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
The first two can't be correct right? So... If the third one is true. How can I find these packages? Or, is there any other way to upgrade to 10.10?
I can't understand wd the error in my way with my sources list (was trying to installError given when I try to update is: An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.lease report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:'E:Type 'src' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tiheum-equinox-maverick.list'Sources list is: ###### Ubuntu Main Reposdeb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted universe

I tried to install last Ubuntu distribution (11.04) in a laptop that fits setup requirements. I downloaded de Iso, burnt on cd and restart the laptop with the cd inside it.The hard disk does not have any partition, it's empty, I suppose installation gives that opcion.At the begining of the installation, before any interactivity, I get this error:
I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on xp,but, after waiting around 2 hours per instalation I received a error message that says:" unbuntu installer : and error occurred: coercing to unicode: need string or buffer, none Type found. for more information see log file C:1customerlocals-1 empwubi-10.10-rev197.109. I tried on one particion make just for it then I even tried on xp on C: I even put it on a pendrive but my bios is old and do not provide for usb booting. The other thing I have to try is making a boot cd but for one reason or the other , my recorder do not want to recornized my cds- rw and right now I do not have any regular blank cds . That will be my next step. Note: Ubuntu appears installed on the the control panel "add or removed programs" but not in "all programs" list. I'm a novice on this so maybe the answer was posted but I couldn't find it. Looking ahead to try it and be part of the linux team.

I am facing the following error while running the newly installed software ZEKR. I have already installed the latest version of Java.

I tried to install ubuntu 9.04 from wubi in windows 7 ultimate today. But it failed. I met a problem when installing: An error has occurred setting the element data. The request is not supported. The detailed information in installation log file is:
>>stdout= 01-26 13:29 DEBUG TaskList: # Cancelling tasklist 01-26 13:29 DEBUG TaskList: New task modify_bcd 01-26 13:29 ERROR root: Error executing command >>command=C:WindowsSystem32cdedit.exe /set {d29666c7-0a4d-11df-a945-002268e2b352} device partition=I: >>retval=1 >>stderr=An error has occurred setting the element data.

The request is not supported. I tried to use bcdedit /set <GUID> device partition=I: manually, but still have the same error.
I've had a problem doing updates to Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic for months. I'd like to upgrade, but figure I should solve the update issue first. The output of "apt-get update" is:
I used proprietary software (acronis trueimage) to clone an Opensuse 11.1 machine, onto another machine with somewhat distinct hardware (different motherboard, less memory). I expected to have to change entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst, /etc/fstab, etc. I was told a good way to do this was to use the Opensuse DVD's "repair installed system" feature.
When I ran the repair, I was informed that "bootloader configuration file contains errors". I attempted to re-install the bootloader, but received this unhelpful error: "An error occurred during boot loader installation. Retry boot loader configuration?". When I boot the system, I just see the text "GRUB ", followed by a flashing underscore character.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu on Windows XP as a dual boot using Wubi, but whenever I try to install it I get an error message that says: An error occurred: Permission denied For more information, please see the log file: c:docume-1lanzarolocals-1 empwubi-10.04.1-rev190.log Does anyone know what this means and if I can fix it?
There's other partitions, but I don't think they're referenced in any of the boot files and my grub.cfg menu entries:
Code: Ubuntu: menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-24-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { recordfail
[Code].....
This problem originated when I moved XP from sdc to sdb using clonezilla. I installed Ubuntu after that, however, and I have since run update-grub, so the menu entries should reflect that move. Also, all drives are set to IDE in BIOS.
However, I can mount the windows partition in Ubuntu and read all the files fine.
might cry soon, had so many problems and still nothing latest problem when installing sorry and error occured and it was not possible to install the boot loader at the specified location.
I receive these messages after I enter my user_id and password in Ubuntu 9.04;
"An error occured while loading or saving configuration information for update notifier. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly." then clicking on details box this can be seen;- {Failed to connect configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBIT, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Could not send message to gconf daemon: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus))}
then there's another error message;

Whenever I try to change a user full name, through System / Administration / Users and Groups, I get the following error: The configuration could not be saved - An unknown error occurred. Running Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS 64 bit, freshly installed.
I've got the F13 LiveCD that I was able to boot and use using the "nomodeset" boot option. From the desktop I'm trying to perform an Install to Hard Drive. I've read the Install from LiveCD post regarding the creation of a /boot partition and a / root partition. I've tried creating them without the LVM group and with. But every time I appempt to install I get...
An error occurred mounting device proc as /proc: mount failed: (9, None). This is a fatal error and the install cannot continue.

I am having a problem installing SLES11 on a new server. It goes fine through the setup until it gets to GRUB, it gets me the following error message: Error occurred while installing GRUB

What is very strange is that mysql works fine.In disk utility, it indicates that disk is healthy, but when I click check file system i get
File system check on "data" (Partition 1 of ATA MAXTOR STM380215A) completed File system is NOT clean
When this happens you have to open a terminal, get the process id for mysql-server-5 then kill that process. Like this: Code: ps -A then from the list of processes that it spits out look at the process id (the number at the beginning of the line) for mysql-server-5.
Now type Code: sudo kill -9 XXXXX where XXXXX is the process id for mysql-server, and enter your password. The upgrade process should now resume.
Is that possible, I mean when I upgrade F10 to F11 with yum upgrade is there a way to 'upgrade' the filesystem to ext4 for example (with the exception of boot partition)? Or I have to reinstall fedora like new?
While changing the filesystem can I do it by parts? what I mean is for example: I have 2 partitions like '/' and '/home' with ext3, so I backup data in '/home', change '/' to ext4 then mv files from '/home' to '/' and change '/home' to ext4 and finally mv those files from '/' to '/home'. Is that possible?
Trying to upgrade a laptop from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04, and I get the following error...Note, that there are 3 "files" that come up with this message...
W: Failed to fetch [url] 404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Could someone look this over and give me the details on how i remove the package or program that did not recomplie correctly and doesnt behave right. Its called Novacom i was using it when testing some tethering with my palm pre, but as you can see in the terminal output below everytime i install a new package i get the same error about trying to recompile novacom. Im new to Linux but really liking not being on windows any more.
Unpacking kooldock (from .../kooldock_0.3-1ubuntu3_i386.deb) ... Processing triggers for man-db ... Setting up palm-novacom (0.3-svn177284-hud9) ... stop: Unknown job: novacomd
From four days each time I reload Synaptic, I got the following error:
Code: W: Failed to fetch [URL]. Could not resolve 'repository.cairo-dock.org' W: Failed to fetch [URL]. Could not resolve 'repository.cairo-dock.org' W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I can not understand what is it. Is it a temporary network problem? What I have to do?
When I start my system up(ubuntu 10.04) it gets to "ubuntu" loading animation then displays "An error occurred while mounting 0, Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery". I've read many threads and tried different things but nothing seems to be working! heres my blkid output:
