Ubuntu :: Is VLC 1.x An Option For Intrepid
Jul 28, 2010
i'm still on Intrepid (i know, i'm behind the times) and i've been poking around for simple-straightforward info on how to upgrade my VLC 0.9.4 to 1.x.....but everything i've found seems to assume one is already on Jaunty at least. even videolan.org has simple-straightforward info for upgrading VLC for all distros as far back as Hardy....except for Intrepid. and i'm half-tempted to just try following the steps given for those who are on Jaunty and just seeing what happens.....though i also can't help but think that it may be dangerous to do that. does it even matter at all which ubuntu version i'm on, and i'm worrying about it for nothing? xD

I'm having trouble with some qt-based apps that did work previously but now do not. So far I've seen this with Skype, VLC and umbrello. Applications appear to execute but GUI never seems to initialise. CPU remains around 90%. I'm using an eeepc 1000H running ubuntu intrepid 8.10 with adam's kernel 2.6.27-8-eeepc. Any ideas on how I can debug this? As I mentioned these applications worked fine in the past, I'm guessing an update broke them.

Is there a substitute for Intrepid repos? I'm not able to access a few servers and don't want to upgrade the OS on this box.

I still use Intrepid 8.10 on one of my older machines and have tried, but in vain, to install some rar compression software from the repos. It seems as if the specified repo for 8.10 is now end of life Would anyone know of where I could download a .deb file containing an older version of rar which would install correctly on by box ?

I know it's kind of my fault but I have this problem. I have two machines running Intrepid. I should have upgraded them in due time but what's done is done. Now I need to install some packages there but the Intrepid is no longer supported - Intrepid repositories are no longer available.

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
chkrootkit didnt find anything
debsums reported
debsums: changed file /sbin/initctl (from upstart package)
i did an apt-get install --reinstall upstart and that file didnt warn anymore. So i concluded there must be some kind of vulnerability either in
a) firefox
b) ktorrent
c) amule

I wanted to know anyone's experience with the new deb package ncomputing released for Intrepid. I've used their products and fought my way through to make them work. I was able to get ncomputing to work for a short while with intrepid, but upon installing the video drivers (and rebooting) the l230 hasn't been able to connect to any other host. (With Intrepid running). I've updated the firmware but the box still refuses to connect, for awhile it would say TS error (....). The system log only showed,
Date SystemName ncltsd [6198]: ERROR: NULL == video
[18043]: ERROR: SrvCli.CreateSession () failed! (3211426, 1869984)
Any help I can get would be much appreciated. If I forgot anything of I apologize, as you probably noticed it's my first time using the forum and I have only been using Ubuntu for a little less than a year.

I would like to add Ubuntu 8.10 as a dual boot option to my Ubuntu 10.04 installation. It is not immediately obvious to me how to do so, because running the CD installation will presumably overwrite Grub2 with Grub (and might not successfully boot 10.04).
How do I install 8.10 without overwriting my Grub2, and then add 8.10 to the Grub2 menu?

I had Orca installed for absolutely no reason, and I decided to start it and try playing with the text to speech. It wasn't interesting and I closed it. Now that I've restarted the computer, in GNOME sound doesn't work for certain things (VLC, Firefox). I uninstalled Orca because it auto-started on log-in and the preferences would freeze when I tried to change them. I read about a problem in 9.10 where there is some file taht disabled pulseaudio, I don't see it and I am using 8.10 anyways. :/
EDIT: I've re-installed Orca and edited the preferences fine this time, but the sound still doesn't work for VLC and Firefox. Now I've completely uninstalled Orca from synaptic and it still doesn't work. The sound test works fine, though. I'm sure there is some configuration file Orca added something to, but I don't know how to find it.

Just installed latest Ubuntu (intrepid Ibex) on my DFI Ultra Infinity II system. It has onboard audio via a Realtek ACL650 chipset. Unfortunately, no sound. Have searched various forums, etc. and found recommendations to download the ALSA driver from realtek, but those posts are from ~2007 and the drivers are dated from back then as well. Nobody present-day seems to be suffering audio problems with this motherboard or chipset. I did install the 2007 realtek driver, but no change. What logs can I check?

I just upgraded from jaunty to intrepid. The upgrade tool went through everything without a hitch and when it finished it told me to restart my computer. When I did, ubuntu began to boot, got past the initial loading splash screen, but immediately after, before the login splash, the screen freezes with some strange graphics glitch and refuses to work from there. How can I fix this to any workable state, upgraded or not?

I had an old machine running Feisty.I followed the EOL guides and upgraded from 7.04 => 7.10 => 8.04 => 8.10 (intrepid).Now that I'm at intrepid, I want to use the update manager to upgrade to 9.04 (Jaunty). Whenever I launch update manager (System->Administration->Update Manager) everything looks fine until I choose "New distribution release '9.04' is available" and click the Upgrade button.
At this point, Update Manager complains and says "Could not find the release notes" "The server may be overloaded". I'm assuming this could be a faulty URL somewhere, but I wouldn't know where. My sources.list seems to work fine for regular intrepid updates, so not sure there would be anything there that could be the fault. Once I get this error, I can only click "close".
Extracting the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. Obviously, my general networking is fine (or I wouldn't be able to post this message)..and again, standard updates work fine.Any insight into what is causing this (or maybe how Update Manager works so that I might try a bit of debugging myself?

The PowerPC does no longer receive commercial support form Canonical. How do I update /etc/apt/sources.list. My goal is to change deb [url]... to [url], using find and replace.
Found something at [url], oh no false alarm! This thread does not explain how to change the /etc/apt/source.list either. I know what to change but do not know how.

I installed Maverick with auto login. One could undo this by reinstalling I suppose, but is there an easier way to get back to the standard form of login?Hopefully that will cause my default key ring to unlock correctly.

I'm using Wicd network manager, on Ubuntu Intrepid, on a Toshiba Satellite laptop.
I installed Wicd, and incorrectly tried to set Static IP information on my Linksys network.
I unchecked both the Static IP and Manual DNS entry boxes, but whenever I try to connect it still tries to use the incorrect Static IP settings.
I have removed and re-installed Wicd, and for some reason it maintains the incorrect settings! What can I do?

when I go to download 11.3 I am presented with the installation medium for a DVD installation with a button that says download DVD. Should there be an option to download an ISO option for a CD installation on this page along with the DVD version? Some of our older machines can only read CD's with a max size of 500+ megs.

I recently installed 10.04 LTS and I have no option to suspend my desktop. I have always had the option before. I have Ubuntu installed on two other machines that can all suspend. Has this happened to anyone else? Could it be hardware or would a re-install fix the issue?

I need to enable atime on a specific drive. I edited /etc/fstab to include the atime option. After remounting, 'cat /proc/mounts' shows that the drive was mounted with relatime. The option noatime works. Why is the atime option being ignored?
The drive in question is using XFS.

I just updated a system I maintain remotely to kubuntu 10.4 which went pretty well on the whole.
However, having left it running a few days to monitor things the user wanted to power off the machine (an HP laptop)
There no longer seems to be a way to turn it OFF. Apart from the session options there is only suspend and hibernate.
What happened to OFF ?

I'm using Xubuntu 10.10 on a Toshiba laptop. Since I upgraded to Maverick, I noticed that the gdm login screen does no longer offer the option to hibernate my computer . The bottom right button can be used to "stop, "restart" or "suspend" but no "hibernate" option. I looked at the option the gconf-editor can toggle for simple-greeter, but no mention of "hibernate" option anywhere. Do you have the same issues on your laptop? How to make that "hibernate" option reappear ?

Hey all, I recently did a fresh install of 11.04 and decided to poke around with GNOME 3. Long story short it wasn't my cup of tea so I reverted with ppa-purge. Now, Unity isn't my cup of tea either so I like to use Gnome Classic but for some reason now I only have the options of Unity (Ubuntu) and Ubuntu Classic (No effects). Before I installed GNOME 3 I was able to log into Ubuntu Classic (with effects) just fine. I'm an average linux user, not pro but not completely nub so I would prefer to find a way of fixing this without re-installing Ubuntu if possible.
