We have an Old 7.10 server which i want to upgrade to 10 but i cant work out how to do it, or if its still possible. I ran this:
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core (Which says its up to date)
and then
sudo do-release-upgrade
which i found here:
[URL]
But all it comes back with is:
No new release found.
From what i gather i need to go to 8 before i can go to 10.
I have several remotely hosted boxes (running 9.10 Server 64-bit) that I'd like to upgrade at some point to Lucid Server, preferably using do-release-upgrade.
Is this possible currently via SSH, without lockout or breakage?
Theoretically, I can have the datacenter staff do the upgrade for me, but I'd prefer to do it myself if it's possible to do so.
I need immediate assistance on the upgrade process off ubuntu server from version 9.04 to 9.10. Here is my output after running do-release-upgrade. I first ran the release upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04, which ran really smoothely without errors and at the end prompted a reboot. I have rebooted and decided to upgrade further - 9.04 to 9.10. And here is the result. I saw this long into the upgrade process, somewhere 1.5 hours into the upgrade: [URL]
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Server is 8.04 (hardy) and Apache is 2.2.8. I have been receiving emails from Apache each time a new stable release is available, most of which say you should install them due to security issues. The current stable release of apache being offered is 2.2.17
Q1) Do you recommend I upgrade from Apache 2.2.8 to 2.2.17?
Q2) Does this come automatically with my regular updates via Update Manager once the Ubuntu community thinks its stable enough (it appears that it doesn't)?
Q3) What is the best way to install the update?
Q4) Any concerns about installing it into a live environment? I don't have a development platform to try it in first.
I have just found a 120gb scsi drive which i would like to use as my system drive instead of my current 80gb scsi drive. I cannot simply plug the drive in for extra storage as i don't have a spare scsi slot! only have 2 and one is for the dvd-drive
is it ok just to dd the one onto the other? can i do this whilst the system is live? or should i use a live cd? or better still put both drives into a separate linux box?
its currently formatted to ext3.
plus would i need to use any special switches using the dd command? or would it simply be :
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
just trying to avoid a re-install!
I have an ancient computer that's been running Ubuntu since about last year. I started with 8.04.4 but then upgraded to 10.04 via apt-get.I mostly use this machine as a file dump for other computers on the network.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Ubuntu 8.04 server running 2.6.24-23-server. I have a godaddy account and I am trying to upgrade my os version to 10.04, which requires a kernel upgrade. I have tried ksplice but kernel 2.6.24-23-server is not supported. I have heard about screen sessions but I have not found it possible to reboot one screen while having the other screen stay persistent if it is possible.So the main question is how to update Ubunut 8.04 to Ubuntu 10.04 with out rebooting the entire server? Rebooting is completely not an option at the moment.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded the boot loader using apt-get upgrade. So Grub upgraded and I believe it automatically ran the upgrade-grub-from-legacy executable. I was confused on what to do so I selected all drives. When I did that, I received a bunch of messages, I will write only non-redundant ones:
mdadm group disk not found (many times, over 20 or so) installation finished, no errors reported (4 times, I guess for my 4 hard drives)Found linux image vmlinux Found initrd image Next, I reboot, and absolutely nothing, not even a grub prompt!! So I tried the following:
1) grub-install /dev/sda1
2) Super grub disk
3) Ubuntu Server Installation CD in rescue mode trying, I get the infamous red error screen when trying to install grub
Nothing worked! My partitions are all there and I can see them and mount them from rescue CD, but I cannot boot to the system, My partitions layout:
One LVM sitting on two RAID-1 Drives Sitting on all four hard drives sda, sdb, sdc, sdd
One Root partition /dev/md2 in RAID-1 Drive sitting on two of the four drives (sda2 and sdb2) Four bios_grub partitions sda1, sdb1, sdc1 and sdd1 each ~1MB Two Swap partitions on two raid drives
I would give more detail but I think the problem is probably in the bootloader configuration because I can access all partitions including LVM and RAIDs from the rescue CD.
I was running Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS and using flashpolicytwistd from Google Code to support flash-based telnet on two websites. After upgrading to 10.04 flashpolicytwistd no longer starts.

I also cannot locate the process with ps -e, nor can I confirm that it is listening on its assigned port (default is 843, I changed it to 4005).

I'm just about to commence a full reinstall of my home media server. Planning on using 1x 1tb and 7x 1.5TB drives in raid 6. I notice the version of mdadm distributed in Ubuntu is 2.6.7.1, but versions exist up to 2.6.9 (excluding all the 3.X ones) Is it worth using a later version? Or is 2.6.7.1 used for a particular reason?

View 3 Replies View RelatedRan 'do-release-upgrade -d'on my server running Hardy.No problems during the upgrade.Rebooted after the upgrade completed, and I was presented with the new plymouth screen. This sucks for servers.It sat there displaying the logo for ~5 minutes.Hit CTRL+ALT+F1 through F8 and didn't see anything on the virtual consoles.Finally figured out that I had to hit ESC on the plymouth screen to actually see what was going on.It said /dev/sdi1 had problems along with /dev/md0.It sat there forever with no fsck status and no HDD lights blinking.
SysRq+REISUB and tweaked the boot parameter to remove 'quiet splash' and appended 'S' for single-user mode.Got the attached screenshot.The box has been sitting like this for ~15 minutes.Not entirely sure what to report a bug against at the moment. Plus the somewhat-new requirement of running 'ubuntu-bug' is pretty retarded in this situation. (Yeah, I know I can add some string to the URL to get around it.Why is it such a pain in the *** to report a bug?)I'm going to do some more digging to try and find out what is dying during boot.The new boot process is a bit of a mystery to me still, so if anyone has pointers or any devs want more detailed information,
When I was upgrading my system (ubuntu server edition) today from 8.10 to 10.04 (of course in small steps: upgrade version after version) everything seemed running smoothly. But when I restarted it, it gave an error message: Gave up waiting on root device. Screenshot of error and grub menu attached. I've read some information about it and applied the possible workaround given here: [URL]. My system is very old and so is the HDD: it uses an IDE connector. Typing 'exit' doesn't work either.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to upgrade KDE 4.4.5 to 4.5.0 (Kubuntu 10.04 LTS) but the attempt results in 22 packages that can be upgraded and 111 blocked updates.
The problem is due to a dependency issue with libqt4-assistant and ktorrent. aptutide offer me a solution to remove these two packages, as well as some other packages that seem important to me, and leave package kubuntu-desktop with unresolved dependencies. II don't know what that lib is needed for, but I use ktorrent every day. So this solution seems like a bad one to me.
How to upgrade to KDE 4.5 and keep ktorrent? Or is it better to wait for Kubuntu 10.10 release and then do a distro upgrade (which will surely get round the problem)?

I've recently done a full installation of 10.04 on my machine. Not too long after, I applied for a free 10.10 CD that Ubuntu offers instead of donwloading it due to no internet access.

I don't really want to consider doing a clean installation again as I have important programs and plug-ins installed on my current version.
How do I upgrade Xubuntu over the internet? I don't want to have to download torrents and stuff, but when I tried to upgrade via the update manager, it started upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 instead of Xubuntu. Now it's just sitting here telling me I have over a thousand updates available even though I never typed yes to the upgrade (I started it at the command line). I don't know how to shut it down.
EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. It actually was upgrading to xubuntu after all.
How do I go about upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 by using the 10.10 CD provided by Ubuntu?
