Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded It To 10.04 Alpha1, To Alpha2 And To Alpha3?
Mar 22, 2010
In the beginning was the Ubuntu 9.10, and the Ubuntu 9.10 was with Good, and the Ubuntu 9.10 was Good. Then I've upgraded it to Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha1, to Alpha2 and to Alpha3. I remember when it was Alpha1, there was the MeMenu thing in my GNOME Panel, but it was gone since, I think - I'm not sure, cuz I've not used that much - Alpha2. I was able to get it back again according to the help got from the following thread:[URL].. Although I've updated my OS daily, that MeMenu thing never came back automatically!
The doubt that I'm having now is, how can I be sure that all the new features are installed in my - currently - Ubuntu 10.04 Beta1 ? If MeMenu thing didn't came back - or came - automatically, mightn't there be some things I'm missing in my OS?
I decided to report what happened me lately so that someone more clever could find the hole in the latest ubuntu. So: I have a machine connected 24/7 on high speed network. i had karmic on it. i ran openssh and apache2 (without any mod, plain apache2) on it. In addition i ran firefox, ktorrent, and amule on it. Nothing else. The system didnt have any rule in iptables.
Recently chkrootkit signaled a SuckIT rootkit in the system. I was scared, i googled for it and i saw that on ubuntu this actually happened and it was a false positive. Ok, i kept going. Yesterday i nmapped myself and i found an open port around 64000 that i couldnt see with netstat -atpnl so i concluded i was actually infected and erased the drive and tried to install lucid alpha2 so, one day of lucid,
- with a firewall this time that let open only the port 22 and 80 from internet - with only openssh as service (no apache2) - ran firefox3.6 , ktorrent and amule , nothing else
I upgraded a week ago to ubuntu 10.10 (amd64). I was unable to boot in 2.6.35-22 so I have been using 2.6.32-25. I tried again last night after installing updates to 2.6.35-22. Still no luck.I gave up since this was much like what happened a week ago and I couldn't find any solutions then. (I ran memtest then.)
The software manager has been nagging me to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 for some time now. I finally gave in and clicked on Upgrade. After the upgrade completed, my computer won't start. It just flashes Ubuntu for a split second and goes to a black screen. I happen to have the 10.04 CD from Canonical, and I tried that, and it won't launch the installer either; just a logo and a black screen. Since I can't even get to the terminal to diagnose and fix whatever's wrong, I'm installing 9.10 from the CD that I ordered from Canonical a long time ago. I went through all the graphical options just like the first time I installed 9.10, and it's in the process of installing right now.
I don't really have time to futz with it because I need my laptop for when I go and visit my mum for Thanksgiving. Maybe I'll try after the holidays if I can get some feedback on what might have gone wrong with 10.04.
I have a 10.04 installation upgraded from 9.10 somewhere around the first beta.However, since a couple weeks I have the problem that I cannot use nano anymore.
Code: mypc:~$ nano Segmentation fault
I've tried to do apt-get remove nano then installed but stil the same,Even tried apt-get purge but with no avail.
I upgraded 9.10 to 10.04 and now it won't boot. The way 9.10 used to boot was after turning on the computer it would go through the bios screen and then a screen would come up and list both operating systems, Windows Xp and Ubuntu. XP would be highlighted and would normally boot if I did not change the highlighted area. If I changed the highlighted area to Ubuntu it would boot into Ubuntu 9.10. Now after doing the upgrade, it gets to the same screen with the two operating systems listed.
When I change the highlighted to Ubuntu an error message is briefly displayed and then it goes back to the screen that lists both operating systems. I think the error message says something like couldn't find Ubuntu, or something similiar to that. Windows XP runs fine when I highlight Windows XP in that first screen, but I want to be able to run Ubuntu. I have Ubuntu on a secondary drive, but shouldn't it have rewritten the upgraded files on that same drive that had 9.10 on it?
I upgraded the Ubuntu 10.04, and afterwards I can't print. Cups won't detect printers, hp-setup won't, hp-probe won't. Tried rebooting, reinstalling HPLIP, & CUPS. Installed latest version of HPLIP. did a purge of HPLIP and CUPS, and reinstalled, rebooted.
I had upgraded to 10.04 but can not use kernel 2.6.32-22.32+, I had to go back to kernel 2.6.31-21. because of the default video driver had change from the one kernel to the other, and I do not know how the correct it. In 2.6.32-22 the font would change and to a smaller size and I can barely view anything because it looks like some two year old puke a box of crayons all over the screen.
Second issue is it does not matter what power-saving mode I am in, in 5 minutes time it with go into suspension. Or right after coming out of hibernate, it will go into suspension indefinitely and no coming out of it and must to a hard boot.
i just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and now i cant get win xp to boot. win xp will show up on the grub list but when i select it all i get is a blank screen with a cursor flashing in the top left corner. i dunno whats happend, i have never had many problems with dual boot.
Upgraded to MM and it boots, desktop and apps run but cannot access synaptic - gives brief error message. In terminal, ran "sudo apt-get update" and got this message:
Reading package lists... Error! E: Problem parsing dependency Depends E: Error occurred while processing gsfonts (NewVersion1) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
While using Ubuntu 10.04 my system worked perfectly, now that I've upgraded via the Upgrade Manager, there is no sound on my system. My computer is very Ubuntu friendly, as I've never had this problem with any other version of Ubuntu. What can I do? If I need to reinstall 10.04, or roll back to 10.04, how do I do that? If I can fix by reinstalling 10.10 how do I do that. I dual boot with Windows 7 Pro and Ubuntu 10.10.
So I was on 8.04, and I decided to hit the upgrade button on the gui to upgrade to 10.04. Well the upgrade went fine and all...until I rebooted. Now I get this
Starting up . mount: mounting none on /dev failed: No such device udevd[984]: error getting socket: Invalid argument error initializing netlink socket udevd[984]: error initializing netlink socket
[Code]...
I found some other posts and tried adding the rootdelay=35 and acpi=off but those did not fix it. This is a virtual machine running on VMWare ESXi 4.1.
I have Lubuntu installed on my EEEP 1005HAB. I just successfully upgraded to Naughty Narwhal and it is asking me for my username and password. They don't work. I type my name and password in exactly like I did every time I logged in before, and nothing happens, it just gives me a blank username box again.
After upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 I only get the text mode login. I have a ATI Radeon HD 3600 card and before upgrade I used the propiertary driver (to make the dual screen mode work).I have tried to download the driver again from ATI and installed that but it does not helped.I have put the Xorg.0.log and some other outputs in http://83.251.70.81/X/
I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 via the update manager and somehow in the middle of it, the package failed. And so I carried on using the ubuntu, rebooted and now the disk is not ready and cannot mount. Press S to skip or M for manual recovery. Skip does nothing, only can use manual recovery.I tried everything from the ubuntu forums & google from other people who had the same problem. The problem is my root terminal on manual recovery doesn't have networking.Only can use liveCD which I still can't connect to the internet because I use wlan0 from ndiswrapper.
I am a dual booter of Ubuntu 10.10 on one partition and Windows XP on other. I edited the grub to boot those. One HDD is partitioned into 2 drives so one partition holds XP and the other partition is a "translator" that holds files which both ubuntu and XP can access. (don't ask me why, I cleaned the dust off my PC recently after 3 years )My outputs are:
/boot/grub/menu.lst
Code: title LINUX - Ubuntu 10.10 - kernel 2.6.35-28-generic root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-28-generic root=UUID=85de06c5-cf3e-46b8-8c14-2c217be8dd9d ro vga=0x317 splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-28-generic[code]....
- I commented the UUIDs, that doesn't work.
- I tried remounting it, no effect.
- I fsck'ed it, no effect.
- I booted using LiveCD but cannot connect to the internet due to wireless.
- Cannot apt-get update & upgrade due to no internet.
That's all I remember cos I basically tried alot different ways and cannot get it to boot.I am thinking of formatting the mess and start all over again but I don't really want to do that because it is a good system, just that the grub file and fstab is kinda cluttered.
I've got a toshiba A135 series. I installed 9.10 from a live cd, and the installation process went fine.
When I rebooted the computer, it loaded up giving me the option to select one of the following:
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic (recovery mode) Memory text (memtest86+) Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
I chose the first one, hit enter and the computer went to a black screen with the cursor up in the top left corner blinking away. Then nothing. I've read that this distribution is giving folks a lot of trouble. Has anyone had this same thing happen to them after a clean install?
I need to register some dll files in ubuntu. I used following command n it gives an error,
HTML Code: Z:home haraka>regsvr32 "C:Program FilesUnion Assurance HRMAlerts.dll" err:module:import_dll Library MSVBVM60.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\Program Files\Union Assurance HRM\Alerts.dll") not found Failed to load DLL C:Program FilesUnion Assurance HRMAlerts.dll
I recently upgraded to the 9.10 version of Ubuntu. Now my screen freezes from time to time and I cannot click on anything. I must do a hard reboot by holding the power button of the PC. Is there a fix for this? Is there a way for me to go back to 9.4?
This the second time it has happened after the security upgrade to kernel 2.6.31-19 with a clean shut down it goes into the grub menu and will not boot.
So I decided to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 today, I was quite sure there wouldn't be no problems. Well, at least not in the installation, and apparently the system works well too, but there's just one thing...When I boot to the new kernel (2.6.31-19), it does show the new white Ubuntu-logo, but after it's gone, some text flashes through extremely fast, and after that the screen turns black, having two small and white horizontal lines on top of the screen. Soon after this, I can hear the login-window sound. I can log in by pressing enter, and then typing my password, and soon after I press enter again, I can hear the login sound. But still, the screen is black, having those same white horizontal lines on top of the screen, making the use of computer "quite" hard.Right now I'm using the older kernel, but the problem is that the sounds won't work, the resolution is still low like when I had 9.04 (problems with Intel hardware), and CD's won't still be read when inserted into the CD-drive.Here's my "lspci" in case someone wants to know of my hardware a little:
I recently upgraded my computer from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 9.10. After I finished the upgrade I tried to run a command in terminal as sudo. The terminal said that I was not on the sudoers list. I tried to ssh into the root account from my everyday account and the password to root had changed as well with the upgrade. How can I add my everyday account back to the sudoers list and also reset my root password?
I am wondering wheter the system will upgrade itself to stable when stable version comes out (in 14days) from 10.04 LTS Beta2, if I install it now? Or will I have to reinstall kubuntu then?
I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and everything went fine. No problems other then there is no animation while booting. It just goes to the login screen (ugly tree ) . I have a feeling it has something to do with the nvidia card (fx5200) i am using the 173 driver. Because the screen switches resloutions and no Nvidia screen is showing as in the previous version 9.10. Any ideas on how to fix this?? I did a search and came up with no good answers yet. The Nvidia seems to be working fine everywhere else so far.
I had installed Karmik Koala on VMware� Player 3.0.1 build-227600 and it ran perfectly well for four months. Today I upgraded to Lucid Lynx (lts) from within the VMware Player. The virtual machine restarted after the installation, now I can't direct my keyboard input to log in to my Ubuntu account. The mouse works but not the keyboard. How do I resolve this mess?
looks like everything upgraded like the other upgrades I did on a couple other machines this weekend, but upon reboot, I get a mouse pointer (inop) and the little 'drum beat' audio file plays, and it goes into a loop (blank screen, pointer, audio...(repeat)...)
upgraded from 9.10 (both old and new versions are the x64 version) (my successful upgrades to 10.04 were on both x86 and x64 versions) Lenovo T400
dual boot w/ xp (grub seems to work just fine)
I checked the menu.lst (~) for proper kernel versions as mentioned in another post, and they looked correct to me.
I recently upgraded to 10.04 Lucid a while ago. I don't know if anyone else needs this feature but I use it a lot.
MOUSE-OVER RHYTHMBOX PLAYER ICON FUNCTIONALITIES
In previous releases, one of my favorites about RhythmBox was the fact that if you need to control things such as volume or check presently playing track, you can do so just by a mouse-over action and a scroll mouse over the Top-panel tray icon. It's all gone. Need to say the new click-on is good too but it's without the mouse scroll or Mouse-Over INFO
How can I re-enable it please? Why should I click on RhythmBox player each time just to control volume
