Ubuntu Installation :: Get Latest Version Of Emacs?
Sep 1, 2011
I have Ubuntu 10.10. The software package that is available in the Software Center and Synaptic is 23.1 (which I installed), but I'd like to install the latest release (23.3). What's the best way to go? I know that you're supposed to try to find a deb package if possible, but there's only tar.gz files on the official GNU site. I found this site: http:[url]....
which seems to have the deb package for 23.3, but I don't know anything about this site and if I can trust it.I found version 23.2 here:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/editors/ though I'd still prefer the latest version. But again, I don't know this site either.What's the best for me to get 23.3 where it will just work and I don't start getting dependency errors?
From what I can see it looks like I need to install Samba before I can share files between my Ubuntu 9.10 and Win7. I went to samba.org and they report the latest version of Samba as 3.4.6. When I searched for Samba in the Ubuntu software center, they report the Samba version as Version: 1.2.63-0ubuntu4 (system-config-samba).
Version 1.2.63 seems really old. Am I missing something? How can I install the latest version of Samba?
I have 2.47 installed and I want to upgrade to the newest version 2.67 yet when I try to upgrade, I am being told that I have the latest version. Is 2.47 the latest version in debian?
Twice now I have received update notices informing me of header upgrades which I installed, both required a restart of the system. Usually when this happens there is an additional item in the grub menu. The last two times this has happened I didn't get an additional menu item. What is the latest stable version? I am currently running:
2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:21:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I did try a "sudo update-grub2" and the menu didn't change.
I'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.
Is there a way to upgrade cups to support the latest printers? For example if I am using 8.04 LTS server and I buy a newish printer, it won't work. Am I able to add a repository or apt-get upgrade to get the latest version?
After upgrading to the latest version using a pop-up in gnome i get an error screen when the gui starts. It says:
Ubuntu is running in a low-graphics mode
The followind error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this.
(EE) Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse: Read Error: No such device (EE) Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse: Read Error: No such device
When pressing OK i get a couple of choices where i can view logs or go to console. I have tried unplugging my Logitech mouse and use another but that doesn't change the error message. How do I update my configuration to solve the error?
I am trying to load the latest version and when I get to the "Who are you" screen the next button will not activate. I can't push the button. The bottom left of the box says "ready when you are". I have tried several times to load and now am trying two different CDs, same issue each time.
I tried to install the latest version of Debian from a Live USB on my new laptop (UEFI). Everything goes well during installation (EFI partition, grub-efi, etc), but after restart, my computer does not boot into HDD.
How to debug the problem or fix the boot loader. What is the problem in standard installation? and how can I fix the boot loader?
I just got a Sony Vaio VPCW160AB and I would like to know if the lastest version of Ubuntu can be installed and run without problems on my new netbook.
I am using Nagios 3.2.4 monitoring tool on a Linux box with Fedora 10 installed on it and Apache version is 2.2.10. I would like to upgrade my Fedora version from 10 to latest version Fedora 13.
I downgraded from 11.04 to 10.10 due the problems, one thing I don't like is that Ubuntu dosen't give the latest updates of most software if the OS isn't the latest, such as LibreOffice, Firefox, WinFF etc. is there a way to get the updates to do that?
I have no clue how to get to the latest version of Rhythmbox. All my songs have the cover art embedded in the ID3 tags and the .12.6 reads these, but I have .12.5. .7 is actually out now but I have no clue how to upgrade my Rhythmbox. Apt upgrade didn't do anything of course nor doing it through the GUI.
I run Ubuntu 8.04 on my Sony laptop and Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed via synaptic Flash 10.1.102.65-2 but Firefox uses Flash version 9. How come? By the way this is on a fresh reinstall of both Firefox and Flash and a newly created profile.
I'm running ubuntu 10.04 on one computer, 10.10 on another two and kubuntu 10.04 on a 4th computer.
I'd like to get the latest version of shotwell installed on each of those computers. That way I can share libraries among the computers and keep my pictures in sync with tags and events.
How would I go about doing that other than upgrading all the computers to 10.10. Is this something ubuntu can do or is this a downside of ubuntu?
I am trying to install the latest version of K9copy, but the only available version is in the .tar.gz file package. I placed the folder on my desktop and extracted the files. Now I have the .tar.gz file and the extracted files on the desktop. I need to install the files, but I don't know which command to use or what to do to get any commands to work.
(Keep in mind that the extracted folder is named 'k9copy-2.3.4-Source.tar.gz') ./configure make make install This seems to be the most common answer to install the files, but it NEVER works, nor do I understand where the package files come into play when I type this command into the terminal.
When I use apt-get to install Samba the latest version is 3.0.26??????. The current stable version is 3.4.5 and 3.5 is about ready to be released. Is there anywhere I can get a deb package any newer that the one in APT? or will I have to compile from source?
