Ubuntu Installation :: Unr Installation Instead Of Easy Peasy
Mar 7, 2011
I'm using an EEEpc 1000HE with Easy Peasy (Intrepid) that a friend installed for me (no Windows). Since as far as I understand the Intrepid servers are down, I want to update to UNR. I have never installed Linux before and don't really know anyone who can actually show me how. This is the computer I use for my studies and it is extremely important that my files will stay on through the upgrade (I have a separate partition where my important files are saved).

I'm using NBE on 10.04RC, I've just seen Easy Peasy 1.6 on Distro Watch so ran the live CD out of curiosity. Apart from Gimp I cannot see any difference between Ubuntu 10.04 NBE and Easy Peasy, have I missed something? Menu etc looks the same.. don't look at menu on their website as that's the one based on 9.04 [URL]
This is part of the release note:"Features: new boot system and new boot artwork (uses Plymouth); sports full removal of the HAL package, making EasyPeasy faster to boot and faster to resume from suspend; brand-new interface; built-in integration with Twitter, identi.ca, Facebook and other social networks with the MeMenu in the panel; the likewise-open package, which provides Active Directory authentication and server support for Linux, has been updated to version 5.4; new default open-source driver for NVIDIA hardware; improved support for NVIDIA proprietary graphics drivers".

I am running Easy Peasy 9.04 on an EeePC 901. I am trying to run Wine in order to install a wireless client for my university- they blocked Linux from ALL wireless because they have no one to support Linux (I.E only a windows client, no iPod or iPhone support, as they used to have). I want Wine to get me on the network while being able to work using Easy Peasy.
1. Will Wine allow me to use the wireless network in this way? When I try to install Wine, using the WineHQ guide [URL]...I have tried to "trust the repository", install Wine with sudo apt-get update and all other instructions. I just keep getting:
W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

I successfully edited the .bashrc file to get ruby version manager (rvm) working. Now I would like to turn that setting into an alias so that if i type the word 'ruby' into the terminal it not only goes to the rvm settup but also defaults to my webdev folder which is in my user home directory and also exicutes a command that will open up gedit ready to be used as the text editor for editing the .rb files. Can this be done i would settle for some added code for the 'if then' statement: so far it looks like this:
[Code]...
I don't want to mess with the default setup on this system too much and think things could get out of hand if i am not careful. So am cautious about doing anything at this stage. I wonder if it is possibel thought to setup that whole 'if then' statement as an 'alias'. I read a few referances to alias and looked in the manual like any good newby should but am needing your help please. getting out of the MSwindows mind set and into the linux logic is not so easy but is a great experience

Is there any easy way to do offline package upgrades in Ubuntu? I was using debian's repository for the longest time to get individual packages, then found launchpad. Is there a script or something that will tell you what the dependencies are then let you copy them to a thumbdrive or something?
I know online upgrades are great but there are some cases where online isn't an option. Here's an example. Getting wine. There used to be this repository of .debs from the wine website, but now I can't find it. Launchpad has it, but it's all individual files.

I'm trying to install Kubuntu 9.10 on my machine (I had the same problem with Kubuntu 9.04). The machine is:
- Core 2 Quad 6600
- Nvidia 7600 GS
- Two disk seagate 500 in mirroring raid software
When I try to install Kubuntu, after disk partition, my system dosn't see the CD. He tell me to insert disk into drive but I doesn't touch it. I resolved this mounting an external hard disk into /cdrom. After this, the installation continues until the step "select and install software". At this step, the installation procedure tell me an error. During this error, in the other console, I've this:
Code:
Jan 19 21:58:09 in-target: Alcuni pacchetti non possono essere installati. Questo può voler dire
Jan 19 21:58:09 in-target: che è stata richiesta una situazione impossibile oppure, se si sta
Jan 19 21:58:09 in-target: usando una distribuzione in sviluppo, che alcuni pacchetti richiesti

I've never quite understood why they won't like Firefox just update on it's own. Instead it appears all of the FF updates always have to come through the update manager. 3.6.4 has been out since Tuesday and while I can go to the FF website and grab the tar of the new version I'd rather you know just upgrade my existing version like I've already easily done in Windows.
Seriously if this was a security flaw update and we had to wait this long you'd think people would be up in arms. Luckly 3.6.4 is mainly just extra functionality.
Still am I just left at the mercy of whenever it appears in the update stream or is there an easy way to update what I already have installed verses having two versions of FF?

I just threw away 2.6.27 from my ubuntu10.10 installation because I thought I installed 2.6.28 apparently, I was mistaken and I threw away my one and only installed kernel.Is there an easy way to install the kernel? I'm not a super genious with that low level stuff, so if it's too hard I'll probably be easier off just reinstalling 10.10.

I have dual-boot XP and Karmic.
I want to practice restoring the grub, before any emergency occurs
I plan to use the following thread: Grub/XP/Vista Bootloader - Ubuntu Forums
I would be grateful if someone could tell me an easy way to damage the grub. For example, re-installing XP always damages the grub, but I'm sure there are quicker ways to do the same thing

I have installed Debian maybe 30 times over the years since about 2003, stable, testing and Sid on two different desktops and two different laptops. The only problem I have ever had is sometimes with a flaky daily build. It is one of my favorite distros.
BUT, I am totally frustrated is trying to install to a USB. I have followed the manual step by step about 6 times in the past two weeks. The result is always the same. The installation fails to find an installation iso image. Yes, I know the iso image and the hd-media vmlinuz and initrd.gz files are supposed to be the same version.
File: debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso from: [url]
Files: vmlinuz and initrd.gz from: [url]
The USB boots to a Language selection screen and proceeds through the Keyboard selection screen with no problems.
The next step which searches for an installation iso image fails.
Skipping that step and trying to load installer components from iso image also fails.
Searching the entire PC for an installation iso image also fails. (I even copied the netinst iso image to the HD root directory.)

I am finally running Ubuntu and Windows (and also Puppy Linux).I just switch to Linux from windows by accident. I got a new computer with a wizard to install Vista -which I do not have, I tried to install XP and the computer would NOT budge. All the instructions I got from a friend who actually works with computers would not work.I installed Ubuntu 9.10 without any problem and the computer worked immediately. Needless to say, right away I discovered the simplicity versatility and comprehensiveness of Linux and Ubuntu is now my main OS.
However, I had so much invested in Windows that I wanted to explore the option of running a dual boot for the occasional trip to Windows. The forums provide a lot of help, unfortunately I am not familiar with commands and could not complete the instructions provided.I had installed Ubuntu in its own partition and Puppy Linux in a logical drive in an extended partition. Every time I installed Windows, Ubuntu would fail and vice-versa. Interestingly, Puppy Linux would work normally every time. Sorry about all this convoluted introduction, I'll get to the point.I figure that the installation of Windows disabled only one other OS. So I made two 5GB partitions and installed Ubuntu in each (Ubuntu2 and Ubuntu). Then I installed Windows and Hurra! I had Ubuntu, Windows and Puppy Linux working. Ubuntu2 would not appear, but I did not care. I deleted the partition and extended Ubuntu's partition to 10GB.

I am using the Desktop Version of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, but I am posting here because I think all of you server guru's can help me. I am setting up my desktop as a mobile development server. I am hoping to eventually have it work with an intranet. Anyways I am trying to configure this and I hit a snag.
I have a 403 forbidden error. I've read around and I thought it might have something to do with SELinux
Here is my Virtualhost file
Code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName starace
DocumentRoot /home/chris/public_html

I've reinsalled ubuntu 10.04 no less than 5 times, each time taking hours to get all my configuration right, basically I like to mess to the point of screwing it up. Anyway just wondering if there was a way or program that remembers all of your preferences, files, games, apps, EVERYTHING! so you only have to load the file and it will do everything for you. Would save lot of time!

Maybe there _is_ no easy way, but I have a home-made video in Standard Definition on a DVD that I'd like to do some simple editing of and reburn. Just trying to take out some dead air-time.
I looked through this forum lightly, but maybe don't know what I'm looking for.
Is there any not-too-sophisticated tool or set of tools that will let me do this on Ubuntu?

I have an Epson Perfection V200 Photo scanner.It works as you would expect in XP.In Ubuntu, using the flatbed, not the transparency scan, real whites (white paper backgrounds) come out noticeably blue.This is annoying anyway & especially when printing afterwards.Note that even the scanner white background (left) is blue.The dark blue (right) is where the paper pulls away from the glass when it overlaps the scan area.Many of the other applications have several colour-correction tools, but I didn't find any simple way of using them to fix my problem.
Is this a common problem?Is there any way I can dial it out, once & for all?Or an easy way of using the controls in iscan or AcquireImages?

I read books using a PDF reader and I'd like to be able to easily look words up that I don't know. I see that the ipad has an easy to use dictionary built in and that's the type of thing I'm looking for. Perhaps being able to right click a word and select "look up in dictionary".

Firefox Stable PPA provides the latest Firefox stable builds for Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 and 10.10. This repository that provides the latest Firefox 4.0 stable.
Add the PPA using these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
Then if you have Firefox installed, you will get an update for the latest Firefox 4, the package name isn't named "firefox-4.0" like it is now in the Mozilla Daily PPA but simply "firefox", so it is simply a case of updating. I have done this and it works perfectly.

I am thinking of making a website, but I decided, "hey, can't I just make and host the website myself without spending any money??"
I am just wondering, is this possible? Is there an easy way to have your own website and get it online for free by hosting it on your own computer dedicated to it? It would save me money.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I would like to specify that the computer get's put to sleep, after being inactive for 4 hours. The choices on the drop down are 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and never.Is there an easy way to modify or add additional choices to the list? This would allow me to easily switch between them, if necessary.If not, what would I need to modify behind the scenes, to set this value to 4 hours?
