I've been trying to install wired on friend's ubuntu hardy 8.04 and simply couldn't.. no .deb package I had found worked, I couldn't compile it from scratch (weird dependencies problems which I can't resolve) and I'm stuck. I'm a bit afraid of upgrading his system to koala, coz I don't have time for neither fresh install nor for dealing with all the possible problems with 'dirty' upgrade..
View 3 Repliesusing Hardy Heron on a old Thinkpad T41.This is a fresh install system and I noticed it kept dropping wireless connection. After google around, seems like this is a common problem? Then I switched to wired network, and turned out the same thing happens again. Looks like doesn't matter wired or wireless, it kept dropping itself from time to time.
fter checking syslog, I found something interesting...it kept complain eth0 is invalid, then it said it found a better connection?I found that extremely weird..

I've had issues with the later versions of Ubuntu, so in an effort to road-test Firefox 3.5 on Hardy I'd like to change my Karmic/Hardy dual boot to a Hardy/Hardy dual boot, and follow the instructions in [URL] to put the Mozilla build of 3.5 on the new installation.
I can't see any reason why a Hardy/Hardy dual-boot shouldn't work, but does anyone know of any issues with this I might not be aware of?
Rhythmbox went missing. How long ago I'm not sure as I don't use often. When starting I get them error:
Code:
$ rhythmbox
rhythmbox: error while loading shared libraries: libtotem-plparser.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I uninstalled and reinstalled Rhythmbox, but that didn't help.
Meanwhile I have upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat and sound over HDMI works there without any problems so far after unmuting all channels.

Found it - flashplugin; I was looking for 'libflash'...
I had a problem playing full HD videos (1080p @ 30 fps), frames dropped, CPU utilisation (on 1 of 2 CPUs) maxed out etc.As I'm still stuck on Hardy I didn't find much stuff that directly answers my question on how to play this... After hunting about a bit the following two links gave me some idea of what needs to be done, namely install a new version of Mplayer that supports VDPAU (NVidia's hardware video acceleration solution).
[URL]
Luckily I had a NVidia video card that supports VDPAU and I had installed the NVidia proprietary drivers before [URL]To check if your NVidia card supports VDPAU please look at the proprietary driver release details.
Quote from Wikipedia:
"Currently only second generation of PureVideo HD bit-stream processor in some of NVIDIA's GeForce 8 series and later graphics cards hardware that has support since the Beta device driver version 180.06.[4] Unsupported hardware from the GeForce 8 series includes the 8800GTS 320/640MB editions and the 8800GTX. Later cards based on the G9x series cores e.g. the 8400GS and the 8800GTS 512mb (G92 core) are supported."
I usually play using VLC but was put-off from trying to upgrade that to CDPAU support because of this little detail from the Ubuntu forum links above:
Quote:
"VLC is available with vdpau by way of VA-API, in this PPA:[URL]However, to install it you'll have to upgrade your precious and very touchy ffmpeg packages. There have been a couple of SONAME upgrades since Karmic's ffmpeg was released, and this will inevitably result in breakage of anything that A) uses dynamic ffmpeg, and B) is not rebuilt against the new version, ie. every package that's on your system that didn't come from that PPA."
I loaded ATI graphics driver, and it stopped Karmic from booting.I boot from Hardy GRUB, and added only the main entry for Karmic, not the recovery menu entry, so...I need to somehow reconfigure Karmic X to NOT load ATI driver, but VESA driver.edit:How do I find the Karmic GRUB? If I can point Hardy GRUB -> Karmic GRUB, then I can do Karmic recovery mode, to reconfigure Karmic X...

I want my netbook to connect automatically to both the office wired/static network and to the usual wired/DHCP networks.
wicd is wicked but netsearching hasn't revealed how to configure it for both wired/static and wired/DHCP except by manually switching profiles.
wicd's profiles can use pre/post(dis)connect scripts but I don't know how to integrate them into wicd when they are upping/downing connections on cable (un)plugging.
If it is not practical to solve this within wicd, I'll explore standalone scripts to configure eth0 on cable (un)plugging, as detected by ifplugd.

I'd upgrade, but running a laptop Dell Inspiron 6000 with ati X300 mobility (NEVER AGAIN WITH ATI! Give me Nvidia or give me death!) that has been put into legacy and is no longer supported by ati. So I am stuck on Hardy until I get a new laptop (Sometime in the year 2525 at the rate I can save money) The question(s) is/are:

2.Can it GLIBC 2.8 be installed with non-standard repos?
3. Can GLIBC 2.x be custom compiled *easily* to Hardy or am I looking at a whole can of worms. ("Dood, solution: apt-get dist-upgrade" >remember ATI?<) Finally if I am looking under the wrong rock... Where may I find a forum to guide me through this- if one exists?

I am trying to upgrade my Hp MIE 8.04 Hardy to 10.04, how to do this.
It is the original install of HP MIE but when I use something like:
Quote:
update-manager --devel-release
I install updates, but when i re-check it does not display upgrade available.
The update manager looks different due to the MIE interface. Is there another, better way to do this?
I am using a dell mini with Hardy and do not seem to be able to upgrade at all. I have tried following the instructions in the ubuntu documentation but the upgrade manager finds no new releases to upgrade to. Does anyone have any suggestions on what my be preventing me from upgrading? My goal is to get to 10.04.
View 9 Replies View RelatedShort version: I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) and need downgrade ASAP from Firefox 3.6 back down to Firefox 3.0. In Synaptic, the firefox-3.0 package cleverly now shows up as version 3.6. How can I downgrade? I'm open to anything. Long version:
I just did a security update on my Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) installation. It upgraded Firefox from 3.0.x (x=19, I think) to 3.6.x. This broke an absolutely critical plugin for me, pretty much the one and only plugin I care about, and one that doesn't support Firefox beyond 3.0. More on the plugin below if you care.
But for now I MUST downgrade immediately to Firefox 3.0.x. I realize that The Powers That Be probably forced us to upgrade to 3.6 for a reason (i.e. 3.0 isn't supported anymore, or something like that) but I really can't deal with a 3.0-3.6 sea change right now. I need to get the FF install back down to 3.0 pronto. My work is piling up fast.
If there's no way to do it within the carefully security-controlled world of officially-supported 8.04 LTS, I'm open to steps that will force it. I just need my FF 3.0 to work for a couple more months.
Related question: If I downgrade, what are the chances that FF 3.0 will be able to parse my (carefully crafted) profile, now that the newer 3.6 has gone in there and presumably mucked it up with 3.6-specific things? I can extract the 3.0 profile file(s) from a backup if needed (a snapshot was taken just before the security upgrade!) I'm not going to say what the plugin is, but it's critical to me. I literally can do virtually nothing without it. I will find a replacement for it (one that supports 3.6+) when I tackle the OS upgrade, but NOT NOW
Sidebar 2: I know 8.04 is a little old, but I don't have the time right now to deal with upgrading. It's a massive undertaking for me to do that, and I plan on doing it in the fall (read: not now!) As part of that OS upgrade (wipe and reinstall, actually), THAT is when I would tackle migrating to a newer version of Firefox, including figuring out all the preference adjustments to get it to my liking and, most importantly, get my critical plugin to work. And that's also when I would upgrade to FF 3.6 (or whatever) on ALL of my machines. I have several computers (Linux and Windows), and I keep them all at the same identical level of Firefox, with the same prefs, and that same critical plugin, so I have the same browsing experience and feature set no matter which computer I'm at.
Sidebar 3: While I'd love to sanctimoniously wag my finger at Ubuntu for doing this Terrible Thing to us users, I imagine there were good reasons for it and perhaps was even some debate about forcing a 3.0 -> 3.6 update. I'd love to see that debate, if someone can point me to it (e.g. a bug discussion thread on launchpad).
How can Install this program on Ubuntu 8.04 hardy
[code]....
I know 64 bit Flash has been a headache, but mine was working until yesterday. Symptoms began with it not working in Opera and Seamonkey. I checked the Adobe site and found what appears to be a later version, so I downloaded it, extracted it, then copied it to the relevant directories. That changed nothing at the time, but this morning it stopped working in Firefox as well.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI recently got myself a bluetooth dongle. I frequently use my Sony Ericsson K800i mobile phone as a modem to connect my computers to the internet. I've had to use a USB datacable to link phone to computer, so I'm pretty stoked at the idea of using a bluetooth connection instead.
I used this tutorial to set up the modem connection. It's a bit aged: it was written in the days of 6.10, and goes on about bluez-utils; but it wasn't hard to update it, for instance replacing the command
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/bluez-utils restart
with
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
and there's now a little graphic interface to pair devices and such, whereas when the tutorial was written you had to use command-line to pair and authenticate. Also, I use Gnome-PPP to start the internet connection rather than the ponand poff commands suggested in the tutorial.
I can connect to the phone/modem simply enough now with my EeePC running Jaunty. But when I put the same dongle in my Hardy-running desktop machine, I cannot establish a link. This really puzzles me: the same bluetooth device is being used in both cases, and I'm following the tutorial in both cases so I'm doing the same in both cases. I can do other stuff with the dongle and the Hardy box: for instance I can transfer files from one to the other. It's just the dial-up internet function that won't work.
I realise the next LTS version (Lucid) is coming out soon; and I'm pretty confident the bluetooth modem connection will work okay with Lucid. But in the meantime, I really would like to use the bluetooth connection now. Sometimes my phone can get a 3G signal only if it's sitting onmy window sill, and the datacable isn't long enough to do that. So, if anyone can point me in the right direction for info on how to use a phone as bluetooth modem with Hardy,
I have a server running Ubuntu 8.04. I'd like to use the vm-builder utility (a.k.a. python-vm-builder, vmbuilder and ubuntu-vm-builder) to build a virtual machine image for KVM to run on this server.
I want my virtual machine to run Ubuntu 10.04, but I can't do that because the vm-builder utility only recognizes Ubuntu releases before and up to the version of Ubuntu on which the utility is run.
I'm wondering if there's a way around this without having to upgrade my server to Ubuntu 10.04, which is not really feasible at the moment. I tried installing a more recent version of the vm-builder utility using the Lucid package, but it won't install because of unmet dependencies.
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron), Kernel 2.6.24-24. Because everything is working fine, I would be very reluctant to upgrade to 8.10 or later. However I now have a need to use a Mobile Broadband USB connection to the Internet. I understand that this requires Network Manager 7.something or later.
I got the network-manager (0.8-1) binary from debian. Anyone got any experience of whether I should be able to install it succesfully? I thought I would ask before wrecking my system. (Synaptic seems to only allow me version 0.6.6)
I've been using Hardy Heron and linux mint 7 for quite a while now and was very happy with both until the last month or so.For some reason the computer seems to run much more slowly than it did. I deleted the linux mint because I was only testing it, but Hardy has been my stable (trusted) distro for quite some time.I've actually booted into xp to write this because Hardy had got too slow.I've spent the day downloading Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux mint 9, but both failed to install when I tried.

I'm using Hardy Heron. I'd like to keep using it. I mean forever.
I have several old PCs, and in the past few years I've installed 8.04 several times. Every time I install, it downloads about 184 updates... a slow process.
I would like to put all the .deb files on a CD (or flash drive) so that future installs won't need to download these updates.
Question 1: How do I get a newly installed version of Hardy Heron to recognize that there are files on the CD, and so use them rather than downloading the files. I think that maybe just copying the files to /var/cache/apt/archive might work.
Question 2: I once loved version 7 of Ubuntu like I love 8.04 now. But when I try to install it, it won't update anything anymore and it seems unable to find any additional software for version 7. Now I've abandoned version 7, but is there a way to download hundreds of deb files for Hardy Heron, save them to a CD, to ensure that I can continue to use Hardy Heron in say, the year 2012, and have access to all of its non-standard packages, and still be able to install other packages which are located on CD?
