So yea, why are there so many repositories for the same source (playdeb for example) that specify lucid from maverick or karmic? Why doesn't the repository work on Lucid if it's a repository for Maverick? A big question is why I can't get access to playdeb's stuff on a Lubuntu installation.

I dis-enabled that repository and refreshed all of the remaining Repositories individually and it seemed to work. I then went to the repositories listing and selected "Add" and selected "community" repositories and received the following: WARNING Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined. What is my problem? How do I acquire the list of community repositories? I can live with out the Nvidia repository for now but would eventually like to get it back.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I install a specific one? Or better yet, revert back to an earlier release.
I have two systems running.
2.6.31-22-generic #60-Ubuntu aphrodite release
2.6.31-22-generic #63-Ubuntu amaterasu release
I googled the #60 and #63 and it listed release names highlighted above, is this correct?
If it is, how can I install the aphrodite release?
I have one system working great (#60), while the other exhibits problems playing back 1080p video files (#63). The only HW difference that could affect the dropping frames is the 8200/8300 Nvidia chipsets (with the 8200 working perfectly) and then of course the Karmic releases. I have re-installed the system and files twice and even upgraded new releases of Nvidia drivers (195 > 256) with no success.
My next step is to try and install the same exact release of Karmic if indeed there is a difference between #60 and #63.
My next step might be to use clonezilla and clone the OS (Root) and try that. But then the chipsets for sound are different as well as the ehternet chipset. But that shouldn't impair the video.
if I have a kernel that does not automatically update because I installed it from a deb, will I be missing out on important security updates or the like? I installed the 2.6.34 kernel because I wanted trim support, but am very concerned that I will miss something important.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy MythTV system is running under F12. It is in "appliance mode;" all configured and happily doing the PVR thing without a pressing need for upgrades.However, there is a feature in the upcoming 2.6.32 kernel that I'd like to take advantage of; internal support for a certain capture card.
I see 2.6.32 mentioned as part of the F13 release. My question is, will it also be available for F12 . . . maybe sooner than the F13 release?Another way to put this is: How wedded are Fx releases and kernel releases? Is a major kernel goalpost like 2.6.32 the reason why Fx releases are made?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been a happy Ubuntu user for several years. But I am stuck with version 9.10 because of a persistent problem with random lockups with both mouse and keyboard. A search on the forums both within and without the Ubuntu community shows that a lot of other people have this same problem. There have been a lot of suggestions given and I have tried everything I could find, but without success. I have tried clean installs of vs. 10.04, 10.10, and 11.04 but all have the same problem.
The computer will work fine for a few minutes to a few hours and then just lock up. The only way out is a hard reset. Someone suggested that the latest versions of Ubuntu have a problem with some of the newer Intel chipsets, but I don't know enough to be able to say one way or the other. I am running an ASUS P7P55D motherboard with a 4 core Intel i5 processor and an Nvidia graphics card. I have tried the latest version of the bios for the P7P55D but that hasn't helped either. Vs 9.10 is no longer supported and I am being left behind.
I'm not getting a response over on the Ubuntu WIreless Forum (which looks like it's getting slammed with questions), and weigh in on whether or not you believe I have a hardware failure on my hands? As I state in the post, I ran fine from the original installed version, 8.10, through 2 upgrades (to 9.04 and 9.10). Now none of them work (When the problems began I re-installed each of them in turn in order to test).

What is the correct method of moving to the 11.4 repositories?
June 12, 2011. It appears that quite a few of the alternative repositories that I've suggested in the posts below are no longer functional. Rather than flog a dead horse I'm closing this thread and strongly suggest that you use a supported release of Fedora.The Fedora releases here, Fedora Core 1 through Fedora 12, are no longer supported or maintained, so they do not receive bug fixes or security updates. We do not recommend using these releases any more. I've spent the last day or so installing every Fedora release since Fedora Core 1, excluding Fedora 11, on a computer I had laying around. My goal was to figure out how to get yum to work despite the fact that the stock repositories are long gone in most cases.
I was motivated by the fact that the yum questions are never ending here at Fedora Forum and the question of how to make yum work for these older versions of Fedora seem to be quite common. The usual response is to install the newest and greatest Fedora. That's fine, but there are cases where this is just not possible. I'll outline separately what I've done for each release. You will only get one update, however, you should be able to install any software that is available through these repositories. You could consider adding other repositories if you need additional software.
I've been using the 64bit version of fedora since release 10. I want to know what exactly makes the diffrence between the 32bit and the 64bit releases. I am having some troubles recently regarding some drivers and other issues in my fedora 12 and I was thinking of moving to the 32bit one,
here are my PC's specs:
CPU C2D Intel 2.6
4 GB RAM
NVidia 8500GT
Nvidia 9500GT
I've managed to use the 32bit apps by installing the 32bit compatibility packages.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to track 2.6.33 kernel releases. I can see that kernel.org has couple of releases like rc1, rc2,rc3, git<>. Kernel 2.6.33. got released early Feb this year.
So How many releases of kernel 2.6.33 were there? I checked at kernel.org but couldn't find the complete information.
We (like many people) have a QA environment and a production environment consisting of several servers. We want to be able to make sure before we do any yum updates on the production machines that we've tested everything in QA. Unfortunately, yum gets the latest software when you run it, so you could run it two hours apart and up with different releases of some software. We need a solution.
I *think* what I have to do is create my own yum repository. There are a variety of articles on how to do that. But before I go through all that, I wanted to make sure I was on the right track. So the process would probably end up being:
1. Create a fresh repository
2. Upgrade QA from that repository, test, etc.
3. Upgrade production from that repository
Can someone verify this is the correct approach, or is there something easier? It also seems like step 1 is going to take a significant amount of time, plus it will continue to take a significant amount of time every cycle.
I have been having mysterious problems with my comp recently and I think it might have to do with my OS not releasing filespace. Previously, my OS partition was full, then I deleted/moved some files, but now it says that still no space is available:
[root@cluster log]# df -h (simplified):
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 7.9G 7.6G 0 100% /
/dev/md0 459G 110G 327G 26% /export
[root@cluster log]#
The OS being /dev/sda1 (I am 99% sure, didn't set it up originally) and is CentOS4. As you can see, I have only used 7.6GB, and I should have 300MB available. Only thing I can think of is that when it was full, I moved matlab from there to the /export drive and added in a symbolic link to where it was on the OS drive so it would still work ok. Could this be why the space is not being freed up? We are in the process of installing a 16TB drive so we can free up some space or expand the partition, but somebody else here at work is handling that, so some other option that I could do would be best.

Is there any single place or easy way to do that? Again, What I am looking for is notification when, for example, firefox ver 3.1.2 is released, or when kde releases 4.4.5, k3b makes a major change, etc, etc, etc.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in file size of ripped CD tracks to MP3 between previous releases of Ubuntu and Karmic? Specifically using the same Gstreamer pipeline settings the file size in Karmic is now considerably larger than in previous releases like Jaunty or Intrepid. Is there a fix for this bug. Seems like Sound Juicer/Rhythmbox have some significant bugs in Karmic!
