I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my spare computer.Everytime I try to install or remove something (through the ubuntu software center) I get to 90% and I get an errormessage. The software seems to be installed, so I'm not sure what the deal is.The programs I tried to install:- chromium- skype- thunderbird- ubuntu restricted extrasThe programs I tried to uninstall:- evolution
View 8 RepliesI started an upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 and it stopped with the message: Ubuntu desktop is listed to be removed but is on the removal blacklist. Then it restored back to 8.04. I don't know how to resolve this - it would be alright to remove the old Ubuntu desktop.

I need to determine which package is causing every upgrade installation or removal of software to fail in Ubuntu 10.04 I have had a problem since allowing some non-supported upgrades (not certain what they were for) in 9.10 (FAIL!) I hoped that upgrade to 10.04 would resolve the issue (I know FAIL again!). I am guessing I can;
a) Remove the offending package
b) Repair the missing/damaged 10.04 files
c) replace the 10.04 OS
I am running a dual boot one drive system with XP and Ubuntu each in their own partition and a 3rd partition where data resides
I am new to Ubuntu. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 I tried to install software (Gmail Notifier) through 'Ubuntu Software Center' I don't know why I am getting following error message :
(Reading database. 95%dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: failed to read on buffer copy for files list for package `libtaglib2.0-cil': Input/output error Even if I tried to remove any software I am getting this error. Also when I want to change 'Visual Effects' to 'Normal' or 'Extra' through 'Appearance Preferences'.first it shows 'searching for available drivers' and then the message :
So I am a relatively inexperienced user of Linux. I have some experience and have dabbled in linux mint on several occasions, I get what linux is I suppose.
I was running windows XP before, it caught a virus and I rigged up a usb drive to install another copy of XP over that because my disk drive is broken.
I decided yesterday to make a switch to linux, I was fed up with windows and I can do anything windows can do with linux if I actually immerse myself in it with a little work and a little learning.
So I downloaded a copy of Ubuntu 10.10. I tried to make a bootable USB stick install of it and I was successful, booted from it, but it kind of just lingered at a black screen with credits and never began installing, there was no terminal or anything and it wasn't starting on its own.
I chose the next best thing, installing it inside of windows from that wubi.exe thing included in the iso image of ubuntu 10.10. I installed it over that, wired it and got my always problematic (with linux at least) b43 broadcom drivers.
So now when I start my computer there are the two windows xp installations and ubuntu.
Is there any way to, from my ubuntu from the install method stated (installed from inside of windows using wubi.exe), remove both instances of windows XP and make linux the only operating system on my computer WITHOUT having to reinstall linux.
I say again my disk drive is broken and the USB stick method didn't work for me, there is no way I can legitimately install linux and format my hard disk / delete partitions.
I need to prevent that the latest kernel update removes the only kernel that still works in my computer. how can i do this? Currently I have 3 linux kernels versions:
Code:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-23-generic
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-23-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-22-generic
[code]...
But only the oldest works. With the new update there is a new kernel version (2.6.32-24) that possibly will not boot (like previous 2.6.32-* kernels) and also I expect that, as in previous updates, the oldest kernel will become inaccessible, thus rendering my ubuntu unbootable.

I removed windows vista from my machine via Gparted. Then used the command sudo update-grub. I noticed the portion of the hard drive that had windows was now unallocated. I rebooted my machine to see what impact that would have and got the following:
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 082) Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation For Realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI-E Ethernet Controller v1.05 (071227) CLIENT MAC ADDRF: 00 26 6C 33 96 CE GUID: FCBA3670-D104-11DE-BBA9-00266c3396ce PXE-E53: No boot filename received PEX-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM. It seems that during the boot process my computer cannot find the ethernet controller, or is this an indication that something else is wrong?
when i tried to boot the system today, i got something like a dos screen with all kind of running commands, about USB input or something like that. i took screen shots with my N85 celphone, but i can't place them here since it's shown as black screen when i try to open them!
anyway, since it was a fresh install, i thought i should just save myself the trouble and reinstall ubuntu all over again. I'm doing it using a USB flash drive, like last time. i boot the system, choose "install ubuntu.....", then english language, after it the screen that check if I'm connected, plugged to power, and have enough space....in this window i click forward, mouse courser becomes like a circling thing and it keep going like this for hours! nothing is happening!i tried the option to use ubuntu without installation, and it's working, but same error as before happens if i try to install again! how can i solve this issue? like i said, everything worked great until this afternoon, and i made no changes at all
As a struggling nubie (i have only been using Ubuntu on my laptop for a year and loving it!) i tried to install ubuntu onto my other PC (Powermac G5 dual core 2.5ghz sata hdd PPC). I Originaly wanted to install to a seperate harddrive but with the open firmware on the ppc it seemed a little complicated and i went for a normal instalation.I was told that the alternate CD would be the only one that would install to my type of pc correctly. The instalation seemed to go okay, though at the end of the software install it flashed up with an error message saying that i had not finnished this task corrrectly. seeing as the error message was only after all packages had been retrived i carried on regardless.
I then rebooted after instalation and i can only access Ubuntu through the command line (no GUI) i tried sudo apt- getupdate and sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop I then get the message;"Media change: please insert disc labelled 'Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_- Release powerpc 20100428' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter"I tried it with the live "desktop" CD and the alternate CD but neither of them seem to work giving me the Error "Unable to fetch some archives..." I searched for a release that corresponded "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_- Realease powerpc (20100428" but i couldn't find a release on google apart from a page of server releases with the same release number.
I get stuck on the screen right after language select where it tells me to plug in, connect to the internet, and have 2.5 gigs of mem for best results. Once I click the forward button on this page I get stuck.. I have let my laptop sit for hours, multiple times to see if I needed to wait and after waking up today to see that it was still loading I knew there must have been some sort of problem.I have installed Ubuntu twice before, w/ the same flash drive and the iso from the same computer. But now for some reason it will not work

It seems that it worked until the update the other day I think it was last weekend at least on lucid If there is a connection problem at the server end shouldn't it at least time out or something giving you a message that it couldn't access the server, I mean it does but only if I hit cancel. Or control+c in the command line. How can one update if the update manager isn't working correctly?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am installing UNR 10.04 but I get stuck at the partition because I want to dual boot with windows and I am afraid to go far without professional advice. What i want to do is install ubuntu on my D:/ drive and keep xp on my C drive. This is the current state of my hard drives at the moment (screenshot.png). I don't know what all the boxes to the right are for either. Also my D drive (which I want ubuntu on) has ext4 on it from a previous failed attempt to install linux mint. Because of this when I go to install ubuntu it shows xp on the C drive and linux mint on the D drive although the installation was botched and I cant really boot into linux mint. I have provided a screenshot of this too (screenshot-1.png). How to install UNR on my D drive properly. Iknow I need to add a swap partition how do I do that?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to resurrect an old laptop (think Pentium 800 old ) by installing Ubuntu on it. I thought I was in the clear after downloading and booting, but then I get stuck at the 'Ready When You Are' screen. This is Ubuntu 10.10I have seen previous such issues caused by caps in the username, but I've not been prompted to even enter a username yet so I really don't know what could be causing this, and I don't know where to begin searching.

I'm at the part where it say Who are you? and you type your username, nickname, password, etc. They all have checks, it says ready when you are, but I can't press forward. I can't do anything except go back which is to keyboard layout and location before that. No way to quit the installer or anything.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI haven't come across this bit of 'elitism' before but it seems with this install one MUST have a working net connection. Why is this? How do people without net at all get to install Karmic Koala?
I am using the alternate install from a USB stick (UNetbootin) and I have to use a separate USB WiFi dongle (not the Wifi built into this Thinkpad T43). The installer does not recognise the difference, so consequently it fails to find the dongle and gets stuck in a loop between 'Net access failed' and 'Searching for a local mirror' - I don't understand why it needs a mirror at this stage anyway as I downloaded the correct and complete .iso
Major catch22 for me as I am attempting a fresh install due to the upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 having totally screwed up my system - no ALSA, App menu gone doo-lally, etc etc - far too much mess to sort out.
On top of that, the trackpoint button has stopped working altogether and no amount of Fn+F8 switching makes any difference. Hmm.
Edit: Trackpoint somehow got disabled in BIOS during above aborted install.
All I am trying to do is gain access to the internet and install wine. Here's the problem. Ubuntu won't recognize any drivers or networks. And I do mean none. This is what I get when I try to find drivers. [URL]
In order to gain a wireless network card driver and go into the network configuration to enable the driver, I figured I'd install Wine so I can use my network card driver CD to install the driver for it. But here's the thing, I can't get Wine because I have no access to the internet. And to gain access to the internet, I need wine. How on earth do I go about getting either? I'm stuck in limbo right now.
I'm using ubuntu 9. For some weird reason, sometimes when i log in only the ubuntu logo shows up. It says "Grub loading" and then the logo appears, but the harddrive isn't accessed. After about 2 minutes, the logo disappears and the screen goes blank. I have to shut down the computer manually. The weird thing is, it only happens every so often..about every other boot up.

The other problem pups up eventually with v10.04LT had upgraded from 9.10 & after full update to 9.10 & switch to 10.01LT through new upgrade available.Rebooted the System , I had the boot option when I select ubuntu it boots fine ,but ubuntu logo blinks for less than one second goes directly to terminal black screen with prompt commands no Gnome it asks me to login then password & the same user & password I used before upgrading I tried many things to have the boot selection like before but no use only through Telnet commands screen .
I am trying to install btnx daemon and it has been stuck at about 75% for at least 15min.
How do "undo" and start again?
I was running 10.04 Netbook remix on my toshiba Nb305 in a dual boot with Windows 7 Pro 32bit on a 1.7ghz atom processor. I have grub 2 running and prior to the 10.10 upgrade i had run all the 10.04 updates. The 10.10 update appeared to have run smoothly and seems to boot ok but all it does is load my old background picture from before and none of my launcher bars or top status bar(sorry if these aren't proper ubuntu terms but the side netbook bar for app launching and standard top bar), mouse or keyboard.
I do know things are running in the back as my dropbox has shown that it is updated files in the back (also telling me wifi works and settings transfered). The only thing i can do is hit the computer's power off button and get the standard menu options in ubuntu for that but i have no control as i hve no mouse or keyboard control. Also note windows still launches fine from grub so that is not corrupted at all.
Upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 has froze on restarting SQL server. Any idea what's going on because there hasn't been any error message yet?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a really bad virus on my main computer and decided I should just install Ubuntu like I previously had installed on a laptop. Anyway, I used an old 7.10 install disk that I usually use and I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.4 LTS (that went off without a hitch), but when I upgraded from 8.4 LTS to 10.4LTS the install hung up at one point. The system was stuck 7 minutes from completion trying to set up the rsyslog. I left the dialog box up for 3 hours to no avail. I proceeded to reformat the drive to try again and it ended the same way. I currently have the system with the install dialog up and stopped at the setting up of the rsyslog.
Here is a picture of the install window:
I tried installing Ubuntu 9.10 using both Ubuntu Desktop CD and the Netbook Remix on a EEEPC 1005HA with an external CD drive.
In both cases I don't get any graphical interface during the installation. The CD is apparently installing everything silently, without letting me change anything on the way, and then it gets stuck.
The only screen I get is the first one, with the options to "try Ubuntu" or "install Ubuntu".
What's going on?
I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 from 9.10 and when I try to boot into ubuntu now it goes to a screen where it says "waiting for /windows" and even after the loading bar is fully loaded it stuck on that screen. BTW I don't know if this will help but when I restarted it wouldn't work because grub was broken and I booted it 9.10 live CD and reinstalled it.
