Running Lucid, if I want to do some work with PHP, do I need to install it first or is it already there? (If it is there, I can't find it.) If I do need to install, how exactly do I do that? I did a search for PHP in Synaptic, but I had no idea what exactly I should be installing.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to install the Guest Additions for a VM running a guest Lucid Lynx Server. The problem I'm encountering is this: The vboxadd-install.log for vbox says it "couldn't find the sources of your current Linux kernel" and to "Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again."
View 4 Replies View RelatedTonight I installed Lucid(10.04) on my laptop, which is a VAIO VPCCW. The first problem I faced was the blank screen when trying to install Ubuntu. That was solved by pressing F6 and activating "nomodeset" Afterwards, I had to edit Grub, removing splash and quiet and adding nomodeset, to get it running.
Because of the low resolution and lack of support for effects, I intalled the proprietary driver for nvidia and restarted. Now I'm getting a message saying the display cannot be found etc and it is running is low graphics mode. When trying to open nvidia-settings, I get "You do not appear to be using nvidia X driver. edit your X configuration file(just run nvidia-xconfig as root) ... " And obviously, running nvidia-xconfig as root didn't change anything.
I was forced to move to Windows a month ago as a result of this issue(bought a new laptop) and now I see the problem is not resolved yet.
Btw, OS: 10.04 64bit Graphics Card: NVIDIA

I have lucid and jack almost the way I want. I can't get apps like flash (in firefox) and rhythmbox to run through JACK. I've followed some outdated guides on the forums here, but I haven't had any luck.
I set up gstreamer to use jackaudiosink, but no luck.
If you ask me, JACK + ALSA should be the default, with maybe a simplified or automated control system for people who don't want to exploit their might
I hate having to close up a massive JACK patch just to watch a quick movie, or having to close Pidgin so JACK will start.
I have the latest release of Lucid Lynx installed. I want to try out audio recording on Linux so I want to know if it's possible to use a real time kernel with Lucid. So I installed the 2.6.31 real time kernel. It shows up in GRUB, but when I boot it gives me the message:
mounting none on /dev failed No such device
It then takes me to the login screen, and once I enter my password it just takes me back to the login.
I just installed ubuntu lucid x64 on an HP dv7-3065dx and even though the installation went pretty smoothly, every time I open cheese or anything else that uses the webcam, the microphone all of a sudden cuts off. It doesn't receive input. However if I use the microphone without camera then the microphone works.... Is the webcam somehow crashing the microphone?? Is there something wrong with pulseaudio? The webcam works great and is recognized as "HP Webcam".

I'm running an AMD 64 system with 4 gigs of ram, and only have 32 bit windows. Since the update to Lucid I have yet to have it work properly. Every time I've tried to install it it ether over wrights my boot file, and I lose windows (a few programs I have to have in there)when I try a standard install or it fails to boot when I do the Wubi install. Is there any where I can re download the previous 46 bit version? I seam to have lost the ISO.
View 3 Replies View Relatedso i just did a fresh install of lucid last night. it went relatively well, but there's a few minor issues.. one of them being that i can't install certain software from ubuntu software center because it tells me that the program isn't offered for amd64.
for example, when i try to install skype, it tells me
Quote:
Sorry, 'skype' is not available for this type of computer (amd64).
i even downloaded the 64 bit skype from the website, but when it doesn't want to install that either and just leaves me with a broken package.
the thing is, these programs that won't install with lucid worked perfectly with karmic.. so i guess it has something to do with lucid..
Anyone know if it's possible to install FreeNX in Lucid.
I've tried but get an error.
These are the steps I followed code...
Is there anyway to get this installed? Do I need to wait for FreeNX to be updated for Lucid or something? Or does anyone have any suggestion for a RDP server and client? I don't want to use VNC it's too laggy.

I don't know exactly why the Ubuntu developers keep the Evolution version to 2.28 instead of version 2.30 like the rest of Gnome in 10.04. But here is how to upgrade evolution to version 2.30. I think this version is way more stable than the previous version 2.28. And more important to me, the evolution-mapi plugin is way more stable.
Here is the howto:

When you install Ubuntu, you will typically install a complete desktop environment. It is also possible to install a minimal set of software (just enough to boot your machine) and then manually select the precise software applications to install. Such a "custom" install is usually favoured by server administrators, who prefer to keep only the software they absolutely need on the server.
I have never personally noticed any sections in the install to allow you to do a custom minimal install, is this possible in Lucid?If so how, or do I need to download just a mini install iso?
I have created a partition through Boot Camp, downloaded the 64 bit Intel installer for PC and Mac, verified the checksum, burned a CD from its image (on the second try), but when I try to boot up from that CD, rEFIt refuses because of a "legacy" problem. I assumed it would be a live CD, from which I could do the installation; am I wrong, is there another way to install from it? My MacBook Pro 5,3 is the one exception to having its own installation page.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been running 64 bit Koala on an HP desktop with 8 GB for a few months. Now that Lucid is out and the kernel has stopped changing every three days, I thought I would do a clean install of 64 bit Lucid. Backed everything up, verified the .iso I downloaded a few days ago and burned a CD, and away we go. Everything seems clean, finds the old /home, asks for a restart. I say go.
Suddenly there are way more options on my grub menu. Every Linux option has an alternate with PAE, and the PAE option is the default boot. I didn't even think about it and let it take the default. The reboot hangs. I had to pull the plug to turn the machine off.
I reboot again with PAE. It hangs again. Pull the plug. Reboot without PAE and I'm golden. Google soon turns up all sorts of old advice to add noapic to the boot parameters on a PAE kernel. Instead I sat back and started thinking.
Am I doing with a kernel marked PAE in the first place? This is a 64 bit install. It doesn't need PAE. I look again at the .iso and it's 64 bit.
Code:
Looks like 64 bit to me.
Why I have PAE options that will not boot?
I recently upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 (colossal mistake) on my MacBook Pro and lost sound.In my effort to get it back, I ended up trashing the installation, so I formatted and installed Lucid from scratch. When I try to run the foxit that I re-installed from Foxit's website, I get absolutely nothing? I ran through the install using a number of instructions and still get the same result - basically an executable that does nothing.

I upgraded to Lucid from Jaunty on a 3 1/2 year old toshiba Satellite by doing a clean install. There is no sound anywhere. I had no sound problems with Jaunty. I ran the alsa upgrade script from this site:
[URL]
There was no change I could see after this was done.
In sound preferences>
hardware--there are no entries;
input--the input volume is shaded
output--the entry is Dummy Output stereo
The alsamixer shows only the pcm control, there are no capture controls. In select sound card (F6) I selected HDA ATI SB (default was only other choice). I have Linux Mint 9 (based on Lucid) on a Dell mini-9 and the sound works.
I'm using Lucid and when I try to install it from the ubuntu software center is says ' this software is available from the 'lucid-partner' source, which you are not currently using'.
