Have a nice Karmic x86-64 install. Code: $ uname -a Linux onyx 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:01:44 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux Have 4 GB of RAM installed.

After doing clean installs of the last two Ubuntu Releases, Jaunty and Karmic, I decided to try an upgrade to Lucid. The upgrade went well and I'm satisfied with it, however I have a question about the repositories.All the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list correctly point to Lucid, but in Software Sources / Other Software I still see references to Karmic. Is this something to be concerned about? Can I (or should I) change them to Lucid?

I see "no source found" on projector screen and my laptop screen works perfectly. Now if I restart the laptop with the projector connected, I see all the intial booting messages on the projector screen (not on my laptop), then the gnome login screen appears on both the projector screen and laptop (when the login screen appears on laptop it looks like it has lower resolution than my usual laptop resolution). But immediately after I log in, my laptop screen goes blank, and projector screen becomes the only active screen.
If I restart without the projector, again all normal operation on laptop screen is restored.
I feel like I am missing some very silly options. Any help is appreciated.

Is there a 64 bit Karmic and where can I download it. I've been looking all over and getting half answers.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHas anyone gotten Kshowmail to work with karmic 9.10? I had it working back with 8.04 after a lot of effort and a great deal of help from another source (which involved installing kmail and kdesk also to fix dependencies), but I cannot seem to come up with any scheme that will work with 9.10. It "seems" to work if I get the .deb package from sourceforge, but when I open it and put an identity in it, it fails to work and gives me a message about not being able to recognize "pop", or something like that, despite the fact that thunderbird is certainly using pop for downloading . . .
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there anything in Karmic that would get something to run at shutdown?I have a US Robotics 56K message modem ( USR5668 ) which receives faxes during the day, and has to switch to answer machine / fax at night. It has a memory when the computer is switched off - which is handy, and all the phones switch over to the message modem extension automatically.All I want is to do is send the command AT+MCA=1 to the serial port ttyS0 at shutdown.
Any sportster owners might say that this goes to answer machine only, so if they want to tell me the correct string for answer/fax please feel free.I do have vm installed (or whatever vgetty calls it),
I just set up a new karmic server, and the hostname is being set properly, but I'm not exactly sure how, since there is no longer an init script that sets it (it used to be /etc/init.d/hostname.sh on my older servers). Now I'm curious: what is the new mechanism by which the server's hostname is set at boot time?

I think it must have something to do with my videocard because right before it freezes the screen goes blank and when it comes back (yes it does!) it is frozen...

Been several hours trying everything up to and including blueman. Things SEEM to be working, but try to browse files on my Nokia phone I still get

Please select another viewer and try again.
Not sure how to try to connect, phone sees computer and vice versa, but can't get a connection. The phone asks if I want to accept the connection, I press accept, the window comes back with Connection Failed: Network Manager Failed to activate the connection. If I try a serial connection it says Port already in use. I don't actually know what that means.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the newest build for LyX properly (ie not from building it myself) for Karmic. I do
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade lyx , but it doesn't pick up the 1.6.5 (although it looks like it is prepared to ship out with Lucid. Any ideas on how to get it to just work? It's these minor problems with Ubuntu being slow to upgrade to the newest builds of software (ie Firefox 3.6) that makes it a little bit frustrating. Maybe I should learn to program so I can help out more...
I gave away both of my copies of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala to friends to turn them onto the Power of the Penguin. Now here I sit with a fresh install of 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx and I still have problems. They're different problems then when I did the upgrade through Update Manager, but problems non the less.
Is there any place where I can get a clean download of 9.10 Karmic Koala? I just need to reassure myself that I'm not crazy and that it is not my machine causing the problems.
Here's what the update manager tells me:Quote:

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis issue happens on both my Dell D630 and my homebuilt desktop, so I'm pretty sure that its not a hardware issue. Both installs are clean new installs with encrypted home directories. Computers go to sleep just fine but when I wake them, karmic is unresponsive and stuck in IO wait for the majority of the time. How can I gather enough information to submit a useful bug report?

View 4 Replies View RelatedLast night I booted up and got the black screen, and it would not boot. Can't find your /etc/home/fstab file or something along those lines I did not write it down. I got out my thumb drive and reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10, when I got to the partition phase I did a manual install and instructed Ubuntu to load onto /dev/sda1 /. I had previously partitioned this 160Gb drive with 41 Gb for root and 113 for my /home files and left 6.2 for Swap. Now it sees my second partition as 119 /dev/sda2 extended and Unrecognized. Unfortunately all my files are on that partition and I can't figure out how to tell Ubuntu to configure that partition as my /home . I really do not want to re-install and wipe that partition. Can gparted fix this dilemma? I thought I was being so good by creating a boot partition so that I could upgrade in the future without affecting the rest of my files.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Windows 7 onto the unallocated 150GB space on my 250 GB hard drive with no trouble. But, when I restart my computer it goes directly to Windows and pretends that I have no Ubuntu partition at all. I realize that this is because Windows doesn't like GRUB and really hates GRUB2, but I can't seem to fix this. I downloaded the latest release of Easy BCD which gave me a promising screen upon start up where it allows me to select "Ubuntu" instead of "Windows 7" but then it goes to a GRUB command screen. What do I do here?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to install karmic from a usb key onto a new zotac ion 300 itx-A board and can't get into the liveCD to test things out. The system boots to the install menu and when I select "Try Ubuntu..." the system hangs on a blinking cursor. This also happens if I choose the "safe graphics" mode.
Selecting "Install Ubuntu" has the same result. I recently used the same usb key to install karmic onto my laptop so I know it works. Searching for "karmic zotac ion" has led me to some posts about xorg not loading but that's after the initial install process and also on an alpha version of Karmic (I'll burn that bridge when i get to it). Others seem to have had no problem getting karmic installed.
I've also tried mythbuntu and 64-bit jaunty with the same results. Is there any way I can find out what's causing this hang? I can't get into a console or anything.

I've got Karmic installed on my netbook which I understand uses Grub2 which is still a BETA version.
I still seem to have the original GRUB (legacy) within the file system, still have a menu.lst file but is appears to be showing the contents of grub.cfg at boot time.
What is happening at boot time, is GRUB Legacy handing over to GRUB2 at boot or is the an option for GRUB2 to hand over to Grub Legacy.
I have a deb file I need to install to make my thinkpad buttons work, but don't understand how. I have it saved in my documents folder.
