I want to use GParted on a LiveCD to format Kubuntu and expand my Ubuntu home partition to sit on top of Kubuntu's space right now. If I nuke Kubuntu, will Grub still exist with my Ubuntu/XP entries to boot?
Ubuntu :: Point To Kubuntu CD Instead Of Kubuntu Repository?
Mar 7, 2011I would like to apply KDE on my Kubuntu because the current one blew up. But each time I to sudo get-apt it seems to be fetching from the cloud. Is there a way I can make it to read from my local Kubuntu CD? I have both Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Kubuntu Live CDs.
I believe the local disk read should be faster to translate than to bite the bytes across thousands of miles over the wire right?
Ubuntu :: Busybox After Most Recent 10.04 Update?
Sep 4, 2010I installed all recommended updates as suggested by the update manager, after installing was asked to restart. During this restart I get the error message "udevadmin trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured. After this I am left with a BusyBox v1.13.3 [...] (initramfs)_

Mar 3, 2011it's possible to install the most recent Flashrom (9.3) on Lucid. The problem is that in order to get the most recent you need to compile from source, however I can't seem to get all the necessary packages. With all software sources enabled, I can't find the package "pciutils-devel" in Synaptic Package Manager. Without that package I can't compile the source.

Mar 3, 2011When I start the X server, my touchpad works for about 5-6 seconds (I'm moving it around to test). After the X server fully loads (and all the software loads in, I presume), the touchpad mouse promptly stops working. I can no longer use the GUI because the mouse is dead.
This seems to be a software bug after the latest update. Is there any way I can regress to a previous version? Perhaps uninstall the recently updated software?
Ubuntu :: 10.04 Almost Unusable On Recent Pc Build?
Apr 5, 2011I recently built a pc to run 10.04 and EMC2 from linuxcnc.org I havent even gotten to the point of trying out EMC2 on this machine because Ubuntu runs so slow. The build spec's are as follows:
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?inv...714-CEL24-PB-R MS-6714 mobo
Intel 2.4ghz celeron processor
2x512 PC-3200 patriot ram
using integrated graphics
40gb Maxtor IDE hd
I installed using the live CD downloaded from linuxcnc.org and Ive used that same cd multiple times so I know that's not my issue. Now to my problems. The computer runs, just very very slow. Opening 2 web pages at the same time takes 2-3 minutes, and if there is a lot of pictures or content there's no point in trying. Running EMC2 works ok, but if I open a complex program in the viewer all bets are off.
Ubuntu :: Get Awn With The Most Recent Applets In Natty?
May 2, 2011I am a big fan of avant window navigator, but I'm having trouble getting it set up all the way in natty.avant-window-navigator is in the natty repos, but there are a couple of shortcomings in the applets. - the digital clock applet is not included - the weather applet has an annoying bug (constantly announcing that there may be connectivity issues) that was fixed a long time ago. That's fine, I'll just I just install from the PPA I thought. The problem is that the applets package (awn-extras) is not in their natty repo. Does anyone know how to get awn with the most recent applets in natty?
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Install A Recent - With An Old Kernel ?
May 5, 2010I have a hardware not so popular, it's a VIA Nehemiah 1,5 Ghz i686 (a low power mobo). I've used it since many years ago.
This mobo seems to have kind of problems with new kernels. If I use the Linux 2.6.20-16-generic kernel or an older one everything is working well. But if I use a newer kernel it has a lot of problems. A lot of different problems and I tried to solve it many times but I couldn't.
For example, with the recent Ubuntu distro, the GUI freezes before starting the installation. If I install by terminal, the GUI freezes at the first start. If I install the server version of Ubuntu (or Debian) without X-server, it works for some minutes then it freezes. If I use a kernel just a bit newer (I don't remember which one... it was years ago) than 2.6.20-16-generic, it works for some hours, then it freezs. So, it is mandatory to use the kernel Linux 2.6.20-16-generic!
Years ago I installed Ubuntu (maybe 6.10) then I updated, more times, till Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS maintaining the old kernels. So now I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.4 with the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel and everything is working perfectly. Ubuntu 8.04 is fortunatly a LTS, so it will be supported till 04/2011, but I have to think about what to do after this date.
I don't remember well, but I think I've already tried to update from 8.04 to a recent Ubuntu (without jumping any version), maintaining my old working kernel, but I had some problems... I'm not sure, maybe will try again.
Anyway the question is: how install a recent Ubuntu (let's say 10.04) with the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel?
Possible solution:
1) Install Ubuntu 10.04 with an option which specify to use this old kernel. But I really don't know how to do it.
2) Try to install Ubuntu 10.04 with just basic service, eg. without GUI and networking. Then install (or compile and install) the old kernel there. Or compile it in another computer and then install it there.
The problem is that I had a lot of problems compiling that kernel (I tried on a Ubuntu 9.10 in a virtual machine) and i couldn't complete the compilation.
Anyway, let's forget for one moment about compilation, can I extract my current kernel from my working system and then install it on the new Ubuntu 10.04 (with basic service)?
Ubuntu Installation :: ISO File With Most Recent Updates
Jan 3, 2010After not having used Ubuntu for a few months now, I want to make up a new LiveCD and possibly a bootable USB. The times I have done this in the past, the installations don't include recent updates which need to be downloaded and installed once the system is running. (Understandably)
Two questions:
1) Does Ubuntu update the downloadable ISO periodically to include recent updates?
...for example: Now that it is January (ie. some 3 months after release of Karmic in October '09 and some 200-300Meg+ of updates required since that time), will I be downloading an ISO from Ubuntu that has recent updates already as part of it, or will it still require updates to be downloaded and installed once Ubuntu is running on the computer?
2) If the downloadable ISO has not been updated since Oct '09, is there a way of making a LiveCD/bootable USB that has up-to-date updates already installed? (if you know what I mean?) ....and is this process relatively simple?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Recent Upgrade Requires GRUB?
May 11, 2010When I installed lucid, I opted not to install GRUB as I leave that job to a small 'rescue' Arch Linux install somewhere else on the drive. However, some recent upgrade (I'm having difficulty figuring out which one exactly) claims to require the packages 'grub-pc' and 'grub-common'.
I'm not sure but surely this is a mistake. Right? And if so, what are my options? Does installing the packages automatically install grub (ubuntu-grub, that is) to the (insert word for that first part of the HD where the bootloader resides....?) Or will I have to manually tweak the package installation to avoid installing?

Ubuntu :: Getting Recent Flash For 64bit Lucid?
Jun 18, 2010I've just upgraded to 64-bit Lucid and then tried to access the BBC iplayer. I got a message saying I needed a newer version of Flash, so I followed the link provided to the Adobe web site. However, there doesn't seem to be a 64-bit version available from there.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to have had this problem, but I couldn't find an obvious thread on it among the many flash-related ones, so how do I get a recent version of Flash installed in 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04? Have Adobe stopped creating 64-bit versions, or do they just not do a good job of identifying the architecture?
Ubuntu :: Roll Back Recent Update?
Jul 8, 2010I think a recent update has broken 2 of the 3 systems that I've been putting together. To test out the theory I want to roll libpam-modules back to version 1.1.1-2ubuntu2 from 1.1.1-2ubuntu5 that was recently released on 1 of the 2 that got updated and see if it resolves the issue that I'm seeing with not being able to log into the OMSA webserver. How do I go about reverting to the earlier version?
View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Grub After Recent Lucid Update?
Aug 5, 2010I've done my due diligence, but I'm tired and frustrated so my googlefu probably isn't up to par at the moment! Been running Ubuntu as my main OS for about a year now, and have been really happy with it. So far I've been able to find solutions to every problem I've had, but I think this one's got me a bit out of my depth. I REALLY don't want to have to reinstall, I'm currently running Lucid as the only OS on this machine, and about an hour ago I installed the most recent updates as provided by the update manager. On reboot, it stopped at a GRUB command line.
I've managed to boot back into Ubuntu by manually loading the linux module etc. and booting. From there I've tried updating grub, and reinstalling grub (No errors on reinstall) but nothing persists. I've taken a quick look at the grub.cfg, but TBH I'm not sure what I'm looking for! [edit] FWIW, I have GRUB 1.981ubuntu7 installed

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Undoing A Recent Application Update?
Dec 14, 2010I recently added a repository to my package manager to allow me an installation of firefox 4.0. This worked, and when I ran a recent update, my package manager also updated my firefox 3.6 to a nightly build, as well as my thunderbird email application. What's worse is, it changed around all my icons and names, so now it uses the code name of the version (Namaroka, instead of firefox...) I'm sure this is great for developers, but I just want it to be normal. how I can step back with the update I did?
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Unable Boot After A Recent Update
Jan 6, 2011I've been running ubuntu on multiple computers for about 8 months now, installed on one computer as it's only OS (XP ran too slowly), and as a side OS for two others, one running XP and one running 7.The problem is, Ubuntu recently stopped booting on my Windows 7 computer. The option shows at start-up, but when I select it, the computer restarts back to the boot menu. I had recently installed an update from Update Manager that required a Restart, so when I restarted it to finish installing I left it to have dinner and it restarted into windows.About a day later, I wanted to boot ubuntu again, but my computer simply restarted, and has been doing this since (it's been about 3 days). I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but the last thing I installed before the update was a 1st person shooter game, I can't remember the name, but the icon was a "ka" symbol in katakana.

Ubuntu :: Themes Gone From Most Recent Version Of Cairo-dock?
Jan 27, 2010I'd read there was some work being done on cairo-dock this weekend (and noticed it absent from the Package Manager) and upon installing earlier today, I didn't find any of the previously available dock themes.
Were they removed for some reason or am I doing something wrong?
(Oh, and I'm looking within the 'Manage Themes' submenu within cairo-dock for reference.)

Apr 18, 2010I'm playing around with iptables on Ubuntu 10.04 Beta2.
[Code]....
That's what I got so far. Accoring to iptables man pages: "/proc/net/ipt_recent/* are the current lists of addresses and information about each entry of each list." There's nothing like that there on my Ubuntu installation. There's a file that's called /proc/net/ip_tables_matches. However, it doesn't contain the information I'm looking for. It contains:
Code:
udplite
udp
tcp
recent
state
icmp
where I can find the file where iptables stores the matching IPs? Also, can anyone verify that I have put the rules in the right order for them to work?
