Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrading To 10.10 - Something With Packages?
Oct 11, 2010
It's my first post at this forum then - hello everyone ;] I have problem with upgrade my Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 It's a screen with error at upgrading:
There's my logs from /var/log/dist-upgrade/:
apt.log : http://paste.org/pastebin/view/23438
main.log : http://paste.org/pastebin/view/23439
What can be problem? I was trying update using console or synapic but the same error. PS I have Polish Ubuntu but error comunicates is in English then I think it's no problem
I heen been running Fedora F11 for a while now. I had been over to the RPMFusion website and enabled some repos for this release.
However, when checking for software updates, the latest release of KDE is always stuck at 4.2.2. Is there a way or a repo that I need give me something more up to date?
Is it because F11 is in freeze that there's been no update to KDE? Currently, the latest stable release of KDE is 4.2.4.
Fedora 11 was being run on a Toshiba Satellite Intel Core2 Duo @ 2.1 with 180 gig hard drive and 3 gigs of RAM. The laptop is encrypted, using Fedora's encryption option when installing 11. Just finished upgrading using the upgrading DVD. Fedora boots and runs fine, when update manager is accessed it says 338 updates available. When updating is attempted there is one unavailable package after another. Have attempted to break the updates down into manageable sections to no avail. There is no repository manager (that can be located). Where to from here?
I just performed a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 on my flash drive, allocating a 6.5 GB persistence file. Of course, the first thing I did after booting from it was to run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. After a lengthy install process, I was eventually notified that several packages failed to upgrade. I rebooted and tried again, still to no avail. Now, whenever I install a new package or attempt to upgrade with apt-get, I receive the following or a simmilar output:
What does upgrading mean? does it imply replacing the older packages with new without reinstalling the entire OS or Reinstalling the new version keeping into view the existing package list. Can I upgrade the Ubuntu 9.1 amd 64 with Ubuntu 9.1 i386 version using the alternate installation CD
I have three Ubuntu desktops that I would like to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04. Is there a way to avoid having each PC download the same packages? Is there some magic I can do with two of the PCs to maybe point the software source list at the third 'master' PC that does all the downloading?
Booted my laptop up for the first time in a while and ran
Code: sudo apt-get upgrade to get updates for my packages. After installing I needed a reboot since I was on kernel 2.6.35-28. Post-reboot, I get stuck on a black screen with random artifacts after the purple screen after Grub, regardless of kernel (back to 2.6.35-22 is the oldest I have) with exception to the recovery mode options. Pressing the power button will shutdown the system in what seems to be the usual manner. The screen changes to the purple with ubuntu in the middle and the dot loading bar and shuts down.
I booted into recovery mode and opted to repair packages and rebooted but to no avail. I can get into a terminal by editing the boot options in Grub swapping out " quiet splash vt.handoff=7 " with "--verbose". Currently have a terminal on kernel 2.6.38-10 Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit. Win 7 partition also boots fine.This feels like a driver issue, but I'm not sure. Boot log (/var/log/boot.log) looks fine except for these lines:
Code: fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3: clean, 262541/8560640 files, 2310841/36228480 blocks init: ureadahead-other main process (723) terminated with status 4
The first 2 shouldn't be affecting my Ubuntu boot in this manner (other than failing to automatically mount my NTFS partition, which is a different problem), however the last one worries me. Doing some research on the termination status 4 of ureadahead-other I came across this page here, but am wary to just go around willy-nilly deleting things I don't know much about. It wouldn't be a great loss to simply blow the disk away and restart, but I'd rather salvage what's there if I can..
when my computer was upgrading the packages it crashed with like 30 seconds left. On the reboot, the login screen was blue and it didn't have any accounts listed, I had to click other and sign in. when I hit log in, it freezes at that screen, the desktop environment doesnt launch. I have to click alt + ctrl + del in order to log out.
I've tried going into system recovery, cleaning, repairing packages, and changing graphics dosnt work. Any ideas what I can do, I've tried all kinds of apt-get commands from the root terminal in recovery and dkpg commands too. Additional info: My computer has been freezing recently and I don't know what was causing it.
I just upgraded Firefox from updated yet ancient version 3.0.17 to modern 3.6 using Firefox-stable repository March 15, 2010 update: Firefox 3.6 works perfectly on Hardy 8.04 using firefox-stable repository Quote: Originally Posted by OUTDATED INFORMATION SINCE THE BUG WAS FIXED I ran into two problems.
1. Firefox packages conflicted. I had to manually force-remove firefox-3.0 to install firefox-3.6.
2. Firefox 3.6 was not able to start. It was giving some kind of an error message. I worked around the problem by creating a new profile. but my old 3.0 profile with all my stored passwords, bookmarks, etc is unusable in 3.6
1. Upgrade the kernel and kernel-modules packages normally.
That sounds simple except that day-to-day, I don't run a stock Slackware kernel. I compile and run my own and always have. As I look back on my history with Slackware, I don't think I've ever upgraded kernel packages once I got a system up and running. When there's been big changes (2.4 to 2.6, for example), I've done a full re-install.
Most recently when I made the jump to 64bit, I did a full install using the huge.s kernel and once everything worked, I downloaded the current source from kernel.org and was on my way. I haven't booted huge.s since that day.
I do, of course, know how to upgrade my own custom kernel, but I like having huge.s installed as a backup. If I upgrade gcc/glibc, compile a new custom kernel and update lilo.conf/fstab without upgrading huge.s, then I will be left with only one working kernel.
So, my question is: is it simply a matter of running upgradepkg on the 6 kernel packages (headers, modules, firmware, generic, huge and source)? or is there more to it than that..ie, what about the system maps and symlinks in /boot?
2) Phenomenon: External hard drives won't be automatically mounted after upgrading some packages...
I have a "not good" habit: I'd love to upgrade whatever suggested by Ubuntu upgrading center every morning. However, after upgrading some packages for today, my computer won't be able to automatically mount external harddrives, including file systems ext4 and ntfs.
My question is: 1) How can I check what packages have been upgraded just within today? 2) How to make my Ubuntu be able to automatically mount external hard drives whenever I plug in a harddrive as before?
I had a broken URL in my /etc/apt/sources.list file, apparently because the debian-multimedia.org site had some kind of server issue and they had to rebuild the site from the ground up. They must have changed their directory structure, because I began getting 404 Errors when upgrading packages. I eventually fixed the URL last week after it had been broken for three months, then I upgraded and rebooted. After that, sound stopped working, even system sounds. My speakers work, because I plugged them into another machine and they worked. I eventually discovered that the master volume was set to "mute", and so was the master volume in the alsamixer. However, even after changing it to 100% for both, sound still doesn't work. I even made sure to issue a "alsactl -store" command toeep the settings there after a reboot. I removed and reinstalled all the alsa and pulse audio packages, made sure that the emu10k1 driver was installed for my Soundblaster Audigy card, and made sure everything was unmuted. I have also tried a million other things that I've found on Google, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I installed 64-bit Fedora 12, and everything was working fine. I upgraded a bunch of packages (including, but not limited to, X and Gnome) via yum, and now I'm unable to access virtual consoles. X works fine, but Ctrl-Alt-F2, etc. leads me to a black screen.
i am trying to upgrade to ubuntu 10.04 from 8.04, and am getting this warning:"Upgrading may reduce desktop effects, and performance in games and other graphically intensive programs.This computer is currently using the AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver. No version of this driver is available that works with your hardware in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.Do you want to continue?"should i continue? i have no idea what a 'fglrx graphics driver' is
when I try to install anything using the Ubuntu software centre, I get the following message Requires installation of untrusted packages The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.
Whenever I do sudo apt-get or use the Ubuntu Software Center, I can't download anything because a message comes up saying "Action requires installation of untrusted packages: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." I've been trying to download GIMP and Thunderbird, so... I dunno what the problem is.
I recently upgraded from F13 to F14 using "preupgrade". This is the first time I've used preupgrade. So far, F14 is running OK. There are some leftovers from F13 and I'm wondering if this is correct.
Q1: There are 176 F13 packages remaining. [alfrugal@localhost Documents]$ rpm -qa | grep fc13 | wc -l 176 Is this OK? FWIW, after the upgrade, I ran "package-cleanup --orphans" as recommended by the "preupgrade" page on the Fedora Project wiki.
Q2: Also, my GRUB menu was correctly updated for F14, but it still contains the three entries it had for F13. Is it normal for the preupgrade process to require the user to clean up the obsolete entries from the GRUB menu?
How to add packages using X-Window's add/remove packages option in RHEL-5.3 as it shows only the currently installed package and and does not show any thing when we click the button "available packages" ?
I did the UPGRADE from Karmic Koala to Lucid, and everything was going well. But now I've been having problems with the UBUNTU UPDATE tool for the last 2 weeks. Every time I try to do an update check on the packages, I get the following message:Failed to fetch http:[url]....Release Unable to find expected entry deb-src/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.I've tried changing the servers to MAIN and others, and still no way to solve it. I've also checked for other posts, but haven't found a solution yet. Here's my SOURCES LIST (gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list)# See http:[url].... for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution.
I've been trying to fix this problem for quite a few days now and have done a lot of searching on these forums, Linux Mint Forums and some others Google lead me to and have has some success, but am now stuck.I have posted a thread on this same topic on the Linux Mint Forums, but have had no success (if you want check it out at:URL...Originally I received error messages when trying to update involving certain repositories which couldn't be accessed (because they either didn't exist or had been moved) and I hunted these down and changed or removed them.
I have done much searching, etc. and cannot find any broken packages. I have tried many many different commands which have mostly done nothing.I seem to be in a similar boat to this person: URL...
My Windows Vista installation won't start after upgrading from Karmic to Lucid. If I select it on GRUB2, it leaves a blinking cursor on screen. And I tried doing the whole test disk thing and the boot info script. This is what my Results.txt file says
I've upgraded the generic kernel of my Xubuntu Karmic AMD64 persistent USB installation with the ubuntustudio realtime kernel (2.6.31.9.10). The thing is that the generic kernel is still loading as default and I don't have the option on the boot menu to choose the new one. I don't know how to edit this Grub2 version (grub-pc 1.97 beta 4).I haven't found a GUI package for this either.
I've had the 10.04 installed on a notebook for about a week now and I want to upgrade to the LTS that was released today. When I go to check updates it shows me that everything is already updated. How can this be? Is there another way to upgrade from RC to LTS that I don't know about?
Installed 7.04 on a toshiba satellite M115 Laptop. I want to upgrade to 10.04. Made a boot disk and tried to launch but 7.04 always opens. How can I get this upgrade done?
