Unfortunately my modem died and my alternative modem is not recognized in 8.04 so I can't do a normal upgrade.
It's my understanding that I can use the alternate CD to do the upgrade, but can't find information
I've got the alternate ISO (32 bit) burned on CD and booted from it (on a Windows laptop) but don't see an option except possibly 'rescue a broken system'.
Can I upgrade UNE with the alternate CD (10.04 > 10.10)? I have some limitations on my connection and need to upgrade 2 systems - ubuntu desktop and netbook. I'd like to save on some download bandwidth.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHalfway through upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 (i386 desktop) using the Alternate CD, you are prompted to insert "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 (20100429)".Luckily, I'd already burnt a full installation CD so swapped this and the run continued for a moment. It then asked for the Alternate CD again (20100427.1).If you haven't got a full install CD handy before you start, you may not be able to complete the upgrade.

I would assume they would need to be modified a bit, though, since I'm only upgrading the same version of Slackware. I'm not going from say 13.1 to 13.37. I just want to update a 13.37 current that I installed about three weeks ago to the now final release 13.37. If I could get my silly Trendnet TEW 423IP wireless PCI card to work in Slack, I could upgrade the normal way with Slackpkg.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Centos 5.5 system with 2* 250 gig sata physical drives, sda and sdb. Each drive has a linux raid boot partition and a Linux raid LVM partition. Both pairs of partitions are set up with raid 1 mirroring. I want to add more data capacity - and I propose to add a second pair of physical drives - this time 1.5 terabyte drives presumably sdc and sdd. I assume I can just plug in the new hardware - reboot the system and set up the new partitions, raid arrays and LVMs on the live system. My first question:
1) Is there any danger - that adding these drives to arbitrary sata ports on the motherboard will cause the re-enumeration of the "sdx" series in such a way that the system will get confused about where to find the existing raid components and/or the boot or root file-systems? If anyone can point me to a tutorial on how the enumeration of the "sdx" sequence works and how the system finds the raid arrays and root file-system at boot time
2) I intend to use the majority of the new raid array as an LVM "Data Volume" to isolate "data" from "system" files for backup and maintenance purposes. Is there any merit in creating "alternate" boot partitions and "alternate" root file-systems on the new drives so that the system can be backed up there periodically? The intent here is to boot from the newer partition in the event of a corruption or other failure of the current boot or root file-system. If this is a good idea - how would the system know where to find the root file-system if the original one gets corrupted. i.e. At boot time - how does the system know what root file-system to use and where to find it?
3) If I create new LVM /raid partitions on the new drives - should the new LVM be part of the same "volgroup" - or would it be better to make it a separate "volgroup"? What are the issues to consider in making that decision?

Im running Ubuntu 10.10 right now, and I'm having a few difficulties.One of them is that my netbook (HP Mini 210) has a "clickpad" instead of a conventional touchpad, so right clicking in ubuntu has become an issue, i don't know why.To right click something, I've got to carefully navigate my finger to the bottom rightmost part and tap it lightly. 9 out of 10 times i fail, so can i have an alternate, for example, pressing Ctrl and Left Clicking (to simulate a right click?)In ubuntu 9.04 (or was it 8.04, can't remember) the topmost panel had 3 buttons, Applications, System and something else.Can I get those back in 10.10?
my Desktop background isn't showing me any icons. it's like it's locked (similar to the Show Desktop Icons in windows) can I remove that?And why can't I add/remove panels? or make them transparent or anything?
have been trying for many hours to install Ubuntu 9.10, on a system that already had 9.10 installed on it at one point (so I know it should work!) I am using an alternate install, from a USB thumb drive. I use the alternate so I can encrypt the hd. Everything goes smoothly until I am to select extra packages to be installed. The only package I select is the ubuntu-desktop, and around 80% progress, or so, it fails. I then try and complete the base install, and then login to the command prompt and install there:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktopIt then requests the Ubuntu disc, which of course I don't have. It has a landline internet connection. Do I need to configure something to tell it to look to the mirrors to find the desktop? Or, should it have been included in my iso image originally
I've upgraded to the new 10.04, and when I have the Alternate CD in, it shows on my desktop, and I can search all the contents of the CD, so I know it's registering. But when I try to install anything, via the terminal, .deb packages, synaptics package manager, it always asks me to insert the CD. Then I click ok and it says it's not mountable, even though I know it is because it's on my desktop.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I have two ssh servers I connect to regularly that do not use the standard port 22, so I use the "-p" flag to connect to them. This works flawlessly EVERYWHERE except on my girlfriend's work network. When I am on that network (same laptop), I can ssh into servers which use port 22, but not the other servers on this alternate port.Is there any way OTHER than ssh'ing into a machine I can access and then ssh'ing again from there to my destination (which, by the way, does work)? I want to make a direct connection for speed and security reasons.

I searched the forums and used hours googling this, so sorry if there`s already a topic about this. Here is my problem: I do not have a broadband connection, I actually have to log on the internet using my android as a wi-fi hotspot, works great, except that it is slow and unstable (download rate at 19kb/s), I just re-installed ubuntu 10.04, the first thing you do is to update, so I set it to update, then went to sleep, it said to be finished in 2 hrs ( yeah..I know), during the night I lost the connection to the internet and it was ALL lost..everything, even what was already downloaded, so my question is, is there another way of updating the system so that I don`t loose all I have already downloaded in case my connection go a.w.o.l ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm downloading the iso images for 9.10 Alternate CD. As the desktop does not work, graphical. For whatever reason even once it starts to boot live (With no direct install) it says in the "boot terminal" (non-graphical, full screen) as I call it "Authentication Failure even bEFORE the actual program is loaded. Asks me for username / password which does not exist, etc. I'm sick of windows. I used Ubuntu for about a week and fell in love.
Windows is poppy-cosh, compared to the speed, performance, customization, updates, few errors and bugs, everything is superb! I already converted my fiance and best friend to using the OS in Dual-Boot I'll be an avid supporter and do even more using my media company to help promote xD What's the point? Wine allows me to use all the programs I need that require windows, regardless.. You have converted me. "If you build it, they will come." Amazing job.
I tried re-installing windows and to no-evail for whatever reason screwed up my entire re-installation of Ubuntu. Instead of saying Owner it says Administrator for the new install. Here's my list:
1.) I need to completely wipe out all partitions and start over with a "fresh" HDD. Any ideas how to do so without an OS? It was suggested on wiki answers to use BootDisk.com
2.) I have the torrent downloading which is 689.6MB [URL] and the normal ISO which is 690MB [URL] from two different Ubuntu.com pages...Which do I use? Why are they two different file sizes? I assume the larger file size is the best to use. This has happened when downloading the Desktop CD as well. The lesser file never worked properly. Do you guys have incomplete files on the server or something or perhaps just my hardware?
3.) Use alternate installer to have Ubuntu as the ONLY OS. Alternate Option: Put Ubuntu alternate cd installer onto my external HDD by Seagate and boot up to it, then install ubuntu...

I'm currently using Empathy as per 10.04's standard, but I need a new Yahoo client.
I've used Gyachi in the past, and it was great and all, but it's gone now. It's been missing from it's repository for a long time. (If that doesn't make any sense, what I'm trying to say is that it won't download from it's source, in the way that you usually install it.)
I've also heard about Yux, but out of curiosity, is there anything better? Empathy is missing some basic features, like webcam (understandable) to "message all in group"
I remember that before, Empathy used to show my speech bubbles aligned to the right, and my contacts, to the left. Now it doesn't for some reason. How do I change it back? Or was I mistaken, and it was always like that?Also, just a quick question, is there no way I can change my display picture in Empathy? And how about the timestamp format to 24 hour time?

I have tried to install Ubuntu with this CD and it gets past the keyboard detection part and then it tells me i need to get the CD ROM drivers via removable media, i know this is a problem with ubuntu 10.04 because i can install just fine a 8.04 ubuntu.
i don't know what to do.I have tried to install from a USB but my comp is too old for that, i know its not the specific cd because i'v used about 5 different brands of cd just to see if it was the cds i was uesing,
I would just upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 but i get to the dbus part and the comp starts to run really slowly and eventually colors just show up, i left it for an hour to see if they would go away and fix but they didn't. Iknow my comp CAN run 10.04 because i have done it before, but i uninstalled and now i can't seem to get it to work again.
P.S. i have tried the live cd, same effect.
