Ubuntu Installation :: Xp Not Working After Upgrade Poll?
May 4, 2010
Just trying to analyse why there are so many issues with dual boot after the upgrade.
My story is,
1. I had only Windows xp on my computer
2. I installed Windows 7 RC on a partition
3. I uninstalled Windows 7 RC around april
4. Removed Windows 7 bootloader using [DVD Drive Letter]:ootootsect.exe /nt52
5. Installed ubuntu 9.10 into a new partition with grub as dual-boot
6. Upgraded to 10.04 and XP was not working using dual boot
Want to know how many people used Windows 7 bootsect to clean up the bootloader on their machines, maybe that has something to do with why XP is not clean.
If a user wanted a page that does not yet exist - but is being made at request - I'd like the script to "poke" the server to see if the page is ready to be displayed. If so, it would then transfer to that newly made page.
I read about "http_get", but do not seem to get it to work

Ok, there might be a simple way out, but I don't see it.
My info came from [url]
More specific:

I want to change the polling order of my two email accounts, but I can't figure it out. I have two IMAP accounts in Claws-Mail, one for work and one for 'other'. The work account is set as default. It is uppermost in the left pane. It is marked 'MH', which I think is to do with storage of the downloaded emails. Claws-Mail always polls my 'other' account first. This takes ages and prevents me getting my work email. How can I make sure the work account is polled first?
we have a multi threaded program on Linux where one thread is waiting on poll() system call with event set to POLLIN, & another thread has closed the same socket fd (which is passed to poll) , but the poll() did not return, is this the expected behavior? From man page of poll we found that the poll should return POLLNVAL if the socket fd is closed, is my understanding correct or is there any bug in the poll()?In Solaris we observed that the poll system call is returning with POLLNVAL if the socket is closed.
I try to run sudo apt-get update. It doesn't seem to work. I get a lot of 404 errors, and files that can't be found. This is what came from the terminal:
After apt-get upgrade on Karmic, I'm having trouble with name resolution. Main problem now is that the 'order hosts, bind' directive in /etc/host.conf is not respected. A side symptom is this error code...
I'm not entirely sure this is the proper place for it, but aee doesn't work anymore after upgrading to 10.10. In both gnome terminal & konsole it says "sorry, unable to use this terminal type for screen editing" and exits. It does this remotely even through ssh sessions.
I know aee isn't exactly a new program or anything but what gives? It's a terminal window, how could a console based text editor go wrong.
I'm trying to upgrade from Rhythmbox 12.5 to Rhythmbox 12.8. I did everything, I'm supposed to...I think. But when open Rhythmbox and click on "help -> about" I still get 12.5 as the version number. Here is what I've done:
1. Downloaded tar ball from rhythmbox site 2. Unzipped it to desktop 3. Ran apt-get update
After upgrading to 10.4 from 9.8, my keyboard wouldn't work on the startup menu, I then went to the console and it worked perfectly. I'm new to Linux so don't know a lot about it. I also tried to reinstall it using: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a
But it always stops and return "This page is not dpkg-info anymore, but GNU install info See the main page for ginstall-info for command line arguments: install-info:No dir file specified; try --help for more information."
I have been running a dual boot system Win 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 for months on 2 different systems. I just upgraded 1 system to 10.04. I had it set so that the grub boot will boot to the last selected OS. With 10.04 this no longer works. I went in and edited the etc/default/grub reset GRUB_DEFAULT=savedthen ran update-gruball seemed to work properly.but all boots always boot the top line (ubuntu) I must always manually select Windows 7 everytime
I have a Dell 8100 with an NVIDIA graphics card. I had previously installed Ubuntu Hardy Herron and everything worked fine. Today I upgrade to LTS. The system rebooted and the Grub boot loader displayed my list of O/S when I selected the LTS, the monitor shutdowns and displays a message about best resolution should be 1280 X 1024.
I had an ill-advised upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 (due to needing to beta-test a particular program). My gut told me that I shouldn't do it, but I went ahead and did it anyway. The problem that makes this worse is that I have an ATI Radeon HD 3650, and ATI hates Linux. So upon booting into 10.04 I ended up with no screen. It took a lot of futzing around in the terminal to get things going (including making an xorg.conf file). Installing the ATI proprietary drivers (Catalyst) was an epic failure. Trying to make "radeon" the driver? Epic failure, resulted in a completely unbootable system.
To at least get the system to boot, I deleted xorg.conf (since 10.04 allegedly will discover devices automatically without it) and played around with options in GRUB. Please see my attached menu.lst; that should be my only configuration. The other issue at this point is that my only working driver (that I can find anyway) is vesa. Unfortunately, when using Vesa, my mouse wants to scroll everything down and to the right. This means that if I open any window that has a scrollbar, it will move such so that the scrollbars are to the other end. This makes it all but impossible to make things work.
To make matters worse, now my WINE (specifically, Irfanview) cannot view GIFs. But at least I have a workaround (FTP) to get things to where I can work on them.) At this point I'd be satisfied if I could just get the mouse to stop messing up. I accidentally made it work at one point but I can't retrace the switches I set to make it so. I've tried setting a basic xorg.conf, an ATI-generated xorg.conf, and now no xorg.conf.
Before I upgraded, I used Ubuntu 9.04 on my Playstation 3. It worked absolutely fine. A couple of days back, I decided to upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 using the update manager. The installation process seemed to go fine, until I booted up the new version. When I booted up, my mouse cursor wouldn't move, whilst my keyboard worked fine, I unplugged and plugged it back in and swapped USB ports, but it came to no use. I reinstalled Jaunty and tried the entire installation process again. After installing the new version again, the same problem occured, my mouse just wouldn't work.
When I type in the command 'uname -a' it comes up with something (I apologize, I am a Linux noob) to do with the 2.6.24 Linux kernel, Ubuntu 9.10 is on the 2.6.31 kernel. Is this the problem? I don't understand what is going on or what the solution is. My mouse is a HP optical mouse if that helps. I can't bring up the terminal window because my mouse just doesn't work, which is really annoying me.
After upgrading from Karmic to Lucid, no wireless networks are found on my computer�an acer travelmate 5510. On Karmic, wifi worked flawlessly "out of the box"�no windows drivers or anything needed. I have checked under Administration/hardware drivers; it tells me "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system." Cabled internet access through my wifi router works fine. How to get wifi up and running under Lucid. Despite having used Karmic for a while, I am relatively new to the inner workings of Ubuntu / linux systems, and really don't know where to go from here.
I updated my ubuntu today from 10.04.1 to 10.10 and my microphone stopped working. I spotted a message during the loading of 10.10 that modprobe failed starting because some file was missing.
Yesterday I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 (x86_64). The upgrade itself succeeded, but now after booting I have to press enter in the grub OS list. grub.cfg looks like this:
Code:
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
[code]...
Why do I have to press enter to have grub boot the default entry? How can I get grub to start the default entry automatically, without showing the menu? BTW: entries in the list are default:
Code:
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic (recovery mode) Memory test (memtest86+) Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and my VMware stopped working. I got a message to recompile into the kernel. I followed the prompts and it was unsuccessful. I tried to uninstall and reinstall VMware getting the same error. See below an extract from the log file.Before you can run VMware, serveral moduels must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel. stopped vmware services - ok
Error in log:
Nov 09 07:59:34.560: app-3077531328| Trying to find a suitable PBM set for kernel 2.6.32-25-generic. Nov 09 07:59:34.560: app-3077531328| Building module vmnet. Nov 09 07:59:34.560: app-3077531328| Extracting the sources of the vmnet module.
I am using 10.10, yesterday I did an upgrade using update manager. After restart, booting stops at login screen, keyboard and mouse is not working. I tried login into recovery mode as well as previous kernel versions nothing is working. I tried to login into single user mode even that is also not working.
All ive had since i upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 s problems. After i upgraded and rebooted my machine, i logged in and the desktop would not load. Ive managed to sort that out but i cannot get compiz and emerald to work! I had it working perfectly before i upgraded
When i open compiz-fusion icon in the bar and change the desktop to compiz and emerald, the buttons on top of the window disappear and i cant do anything unless i change it back.
After upgrading to 11.04 (x64) in the second monitor I see just the background but no desktop. X server configuration was done in previous versions with NVIDIA X server settings tool.
Using gdcm, specifically gdcmanon for anonymizing DICOM files on three ubuntu servers. Upgraded two of the servers to 11.04 ubuntu and now when running the gdcmanon tool the error back is OpenSSL was not configured.
Same command is working fine on the older Ubuntu machine.
I will have to reinstall 10 if I can not get this working.
Is the "saved" option for grub2 not available after the new upgrade?I had grub2 setup to let me load either windows or ubuntu, whichever I last used, and it worked.After the last update to Ubuntu I cannot get this to work anymore. I can successfully change the default boot entry by entering a number, e.g. "GRUB_DEFAULT=3" but when I put in"GRUB_DEFAULT=saved" it always defaults to the first entry, the latest Ubuntu. I can also change the screenresolution for the grub menu on this computer, but on another computer I cannot change the screen resolution for grub or restore the 'saved' option (I have not tried to change the boot default by numbers on this other computer though). I am only editing /etc/default/grub and running update-grub, is there another script or file I should be changing as well since the update?
I updated my Ubuntu to Meerkat last night. everything seems to be working fine, except when i went to iplayer, it told me flash wasn't installed. I followed the link, and installed flash from APT source. In the software centre it is listed as installed. However, still cannot view flash videos.i have tried rebooting too.
I have Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop Edition i386 version. It was recently working fine until i installed few updates that showed in Update Manager about total size of 200Mb. During the installation BUG USB (blue screen) error comes and laptop restarted. Now i restarted the laptop and from now my mouse and the keyboard not working. I am not able to even login to the system. Not working now anything.. Details: I am running Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop i386 on VMWare Workstation on Windows Vista.
After a bumpy upgrade to 11.4 I have found the home folder launcher does nothing. Does anyone else have this? Is it a bug or am I likely to have a bad configuration?
