Ubuntu :: Upgrading From 8.04(lts) To 10.04(lts) Failure
Sep 3, 2010
I'm attempting to upgrade my Ubuntu 8.04 VPS to 10.04 and I'm having some trouble with the final stages of the installation. This is a section of the output I get (seems to be the bit that is going wrong):
Code:
...
Checking init scripts...
WARNING: this version of the GNU libc requires kernel version
2.6.18 or later. Please upgrade your kernel before installing
[code]....
P.S. I don't mind doing another fresh upgrade from the initial 8.04. So the problem is just how to prevent these errors from coming up again.

Have a dual boot: vista & ubuntu (64bit). Clicked the upgrade to 10.04 in update manager & spent a couple of hours downloading & installing. Had several requests about menu.lst. Which i replied keep the current Big mistake (i think) because on the reboot all the options are for 9.1. Tried the top option and 10.04? (i think) comes up but mouse & keyboard are inop.Booted with super grub cd & let it boot gnu/linux. Looks like 10.04 came up (how can u tell?) and seems to run ok. So what can i do to get the 10.04 options when rebooting without the grub cd?

I 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.

Upgrade calls for ensuring latest updates to Karmic are installed before upgrading to 10.04 LTS. Every attempt to update hangs, yielding the following dialogue:
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY B152F042D246C25D I guess I am sort of stuck in nowhere land here.

I know why this happened, but I need to know what problems it's going to cause and how I can re-install / fix the problem. I have my /tmp folder mounted as -noexec ... so when I did a recent update to my 10.04.1 LTS server installation, I got the following errors:
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...

Press return to continue.
What should I do now? (besides, obviously, removing the -noexec flag from /tmp so this doesn't happen again!)

She was running a script in R (which was supposed to take a regression from R and output to LaTeX) but it failed, causing a "massive core dump" and shut down her computer. She rebooted, performed a recovery, but her system was still running slowly so she decided to upgrade to Narwhal. At this point she received an error message saying that the upgrade was interrupted by an eclipse package, and it failed, saying that her (disk? she couldn't remember) "may not be recoverable." Now, when I try to boot from GRUB, from any kernel listed ($22, $25, $27, and $28 ), I get the following error message:
I booted from a LiveCD, and it worked (including the splash screen). I then scanned the hard drive with smartctl, and looked at it in Gparted. Nothing seemed amiss. I could open files stored on the hard drive from the LiveCD, so I think there is something wrong with the boot process but I don't know how to fix it. One idea I've got is to run Super GRUB Disk and see if that fixes my boot problems.

I've got this very strange problem in karmic. When I do "sudo apt-get update", the update process fails to download some repo files.
I'm pasting the whole output of the command here
Code:
If possible so that I can update my system. Due to this problem i'm not able to install libqt4-opengl which required for virtualbox.
Also, an off topic question, I can't autocomplete words in shell specifically after sudo apt-get and in some cases after sudo also. The autocompletion is working in all the other cases.

- When i boot my USB, it says "Boot error"
- Then thats it. i go back booting up windows.

I have tested it in windows and confirmed that the problem does not lay in the firewall and is just in ubuntu.
Simply what happens is I can connect, or rather network manager tells me im connected. If I leave it for approx 30 seconds it will fail.
If I open terminal services client it will allow me to connect to the server and even get passed the login screen but will just simply fail and the TSC program will crash.
below are a list of forums and fixes I have attempted. I am beginning to think that the open VPN program supplied with ubuntu is completely inadiquate (based on the number of other people with problems) and I cannot see why ubuntu comes shipped with it on CD when it clearly undermines the good work they have done to produce the rest of the OS.
[URL]
Anyway, I have tried using MPPE, refuse-eap = yes
I have tried changing EVERY single option available in the VPN properties and restarting the network after each one.
As an alternative are there any other network managers available for ubuntu 10 that anyone can recommend to avoid using the standard one?

I've had problems getting Windows to boot ever since I reinstalled it and then reinstalled the grub boot loader. Normally one would think that I would get a Error * message or something along that line but it starts with a quick flash of some text that says "Starting.." and other stuff I can't read before it disappears. Then it goes to my computers built in diagnostic tool, which obviously won't help since it isn't a real hardware problem either.I ran fdisk and here are some odd things that came up.Quote:
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 5222.There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,and could in certain setups cause problems with:1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): m

I've been running Karmic happily for several weeks now. Today when I came home from work I was greeted by a notification informing me that me external hard drive may be failing due to the fact that it has many bad sectors. I am disinclined to believe this, due to the fact that the hard drive is less than 2 months old. It is a 1 terabyte seagate external drive. Does anyone know whether this is a bug in Karmic, or should I be backing up my data asap?

Computer won't startup after upgrade from Ubuntu 9 to 10.04 Lucid.
Upgrade performed through Update Manager.
Have repeated this exercise with the same result. (After failed first time, reinstalled v9 successfully. Waited a few weeks then tried updating to v10 again. Same unsuccesful result as last time I tried it.)
Got one error message during upgrade: "Missing resoureces. The Network Manager Applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue."
Upgrade otherwise appeared to operate smoothly.
But:
When upgrade complete, and on restart, the following happens:
Gets to purple start-up screen fine. The dots tick away for a little while, the hard drive accesses, then goes to blank screen and all stops. Nothing. Keyboard doesn't work. Screen backlit, but no-one's home.
Restart again makes no differnce.

before i installed ubuntu My pc had had an installed nvidia geforce 6200 256MB graphics plus an onboard intel graohics. it was for times that i wanted to install ubuntu on my pc, but it failed. so i tried to remove the nvidia and install ubuntu with the onboard graphics, and it was successful , i managed to install ubuntu 10.04 amd64 on my pc. now i want to reinstall the nvidia card but i can't. when i put it on my pc and turn it on and chose ubuntu from grub it fails to load ubuntu.so i tried to first install "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.60-pkg2.run" and then assemble the nvidia card on my pc. but "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.60-pkg2.run" fails to install.the nvidia-installer.log file is attached to this post.

Situation is that NEITHER Linux Mint 9 NOR Ubuntu Maverick will automount my usb or cdrom? I circumvented by manual mounts thru fstab of my usb stick and usb hard drive. Now I go to burn an iso and find that my cdrom is not detected.
mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 does not do the trick, I cannot burn.
What in the world could I have done to my system ? I think blkid is ok. Win7 burns the iso to cd just fine. All OS on same CPU (grub2). I have done some searches but with minimal success.

Duriing an up date pc requested a restart to complete. Then it rebooted so far and has stopped.I have a disc that I installed Ubuntu with and vaguely remeber the operating system could be run from the disc. Can I put the disc in and start the pc from it and still read what I had on the Hard drive?Or is everything gone and lost?Prior to the calamity the pc was running Ubuntu 9.10 and nothing else.

Had Ubuntu 10.10 running fine on a Dell box, shut down as normal earlier in the week but now won't boot from GRUB (ends up with Busybox screen and initramfs(?) prompt). PC is a dual boot system which still boots OK into the XP partition on the same hard disk. I've tried all the other Unbuntu boot options in the GRUB menu (older kernels and the 'recovery' / non-recovery options) but all produce the same failure to boot into Ubuntu. I've searched the forums and tried various things but nothing has worked so far.
I tried the fix of booting from an Ubuntu 10.10 live CD, creating a mount point and mounting the relevant linux partition before using #apt-get update and #apt-get upgrade options to repair the installation. This seemed like a logical simple solution BUT the partition will not mount!! Further investigation using the Disk Utility app in the Ubuntu drop down menu indicated an error message along the lines of 'cannot mount Daemon inhibited' which I can't seem to find much information about fixing.
Using Gparted it looks like all the partitions originally set up on the disk are still there.
I put a lot of time into getting the system set up (scanners, printers, webcams and software) and would be really annoyed to have to do it all again if at all possible ...

Ubuntu - 10.04 LTS
zlib - 1.2.5
Why does GNOME fail to start correctly after compiling the latest version of Zlib?
I have analyzed the situation. Zlib does not change or delete any file on the file system.
I have asked this on three occasions over the last 8 months and no one has been able to give me an explanation, so it would be a great challenge for the Ubuntu lovers. I am also EXTREMITY interested to find out why, because I have had a hard spot negative opinion against GNOME since this occurred.

I downloaded ubuntu for desktop and created an usb-stick. I am using an old hp eVectra PC as an "guinea-pig". I configured its bios to use usb as first boot device. It did not boot from there, but went straight on to the debian on the HD.Ok, let's go for a CD. I burnt the image and tried again.Meanwhile, I used this CD on an other PC - but not for an installation, but only for a trial run.

I've tried about a billion times to get this to install correctly to no avail. This is the amd64 desktop edition, but I've tried with the 32 bit as well. I have a lenovo W500. The system never boots off the USB. It gets through a bit, with text output, and then stops. Sometimes it doesn't even give an error message, and other times I get something like udev failed while loading some pci device. I've tried re-downloading the iso several times, different USB keys, different USB key creators, CDs, to no avail.
I then thought, well, heck with it, I'll just install 10.10 and upgrade. Nope, there's a GPG key error for some bizarre reason, which is tripping up apt, but it's not going to tell me what key that is so I can go and get it (and apt-key update does nothing). Command line upgrades fail similarly. So finally, I go for broke and try to just install the thing with Wubi. Of course, that eventually crashes too.

I was running Ubuntu 10.10 and I was having issues with graphics card drivers so I decided to try upgrading to Natty using my Internet. The download went fine, the installation went fine (I sat and watched the computer the whole time. When I tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 I had the same issue and ended up having to wipe my hard drive and start over from the CD). But right before the installation was finished, the screen went blank except for a tiny text-editing cursor and even the cursor froze. Also, the Caps Lock and the Num Lock lights were flashing in sync rapidly. After a while I forced it to shutdown and then restarted it. GRUB boots, giving me a list and the option to go to a command line, but if I select 2.6.38-8-generic or the recovery mode, it freezes and the lights flash as described above.
In other words, all I can get to is a very basic CLI through GRUB.
