Ubuntu :: Automatically Download If It Exists The 64bit Version?
Dec 9, 2010
10.10 64 bit clean install. If you download software via Software Centre, terminal or Synaptic will you automatically download, if it exists, the 64bit version?
I am running Ubuntu 9.04 at work and have a sudden need to install a newer version of python-support (> 0.9.0) than is currently available in the repo (0.8.7) for my Ubuntu version. Upgrading to 9.10 is not an option as we are planning to jump to 10.04 LTS in the next few months and I am unable (unwilling) to mess with a complete upgrade prior. Is it possible for me to upgrade to the newest version of python-support - or is this package OS version specific? Assuming it's possible, how might I go about the process of upgrading?

This is our first time choosing and installing linux. Our other servers are all windows 2008 x64. We were told to install fedora 13. I can only find a download for the desktop version and we're looking for the SERVER x64 download. Could I please get a link?
In the past I was informed that I should be using X86 64 bit for my system. On looking into updating to 10.10 I only found the AMD 64 offering. Has the X86 64 bit been dropped and if so will the 64 bit offering be suitable for my use?
I have a regular Dell D520 with 32bit 10.04, and wondered if it's possible to start using the 64bit version of 10.10. Do I need any special architecture to run 64bit? Is there any advantage in a regular laptop running 64bit?

Anyone managed to install Ubuntu 10.04 on a box with Intel Core i7 920@2.67Ghz processor. I downloaded ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso & ubuntu-10.04-alternate-amd64.iso ran md5sum's, burnt them to DVDs & CDs but couldn't manage to install the 64-bit version. For some reason the installations abort. I've got Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit version running on the box right now.

I demo'd 9.10 32 bit and got my wlan woking using ndiswrapper. Then, I decided to install the 64 bit version and I cannot get my driver to work. Can't find a 64 bit driver for my D-link DWA-130 USB adapter. What is the easiest way to uninstall 9.10 so I can install the 32 bit version? Is it as simple as reformatting the ubuntu partition?
Have been using Lubuntu Natty (32-bit) happily for a few days now, even generated a remastered iso (urxvt, custom .bashrc, .bash_aliases, Chromium with AdBlock Plus, Tabs to the Front, Context Menu Search, Unified Openbox and GTK themes, aria2c, htop). One of the Peppermint OS developers put together a 64-bit version of Lubuntu Natty. Downloaded and installed it from USB (using USB Creator) today. Hangs pretty bad at LXDM login screen.
I have just dual booted my pc to run windows 7(64 bit) and ubuntu 9.10 (64 bit). This is my FIRST time using ubunutu and i have spent the whole day trying to get my internet working but with no success. I have come so close to giving up on ubuntu but for some reason i just cant let go! When i type in ifconfig in the terminal i can see that i have an ip address assigned and i can ping my router. My motherboard came with linux drivers and i tried installing the LAN drivers with the included instructions i have got no where. I did find out that the file name in the instructions was wrong and the actual name is r8168-8.012.00. Here are the instructions-
a beginner to ubuntu, why is 64 bit marked not recommended, have amd64 dual core, thinking of trying wubi, would automatically provide 64 bit install version? which to use?
So I decided to try something new and fresh. I wanted to try ubuntu. So I download the 64bit version from here. I made a 25GB partition. I then Wubi found out I didn't need the original file since it was downloading something else. I installed it, rebooted.
Windows comes up with a prompt: Boot from: Windows 7 Ubuntu
I click on Ubuntu. This comes up: [URL]. I am fairly new and I don't know what to do. I did research and nothing really showed. I then burned the said 64bit version and tried to do a Live CD but it didn't reboot into ubuntu. I really want to try ubuntu? I am going to re-install again.
I know that you can use wget and cron to schedule downloads on a regular basis, I just don't know how. I wanted to download videos from this website:eed/M...?subshow=false but I don't exactly know how.
i am using ubuntu 11.04 in my AMD machine, I have scheduled some torrent and wget downloads using crontab and sleep commands respectively. Since the download starts at 2 AM i used to leave my system ON. I would like to know if the download will automatically start from the login screen itself.(That is suppose i switch ON the system at 2 AM and never bother to login to my account.)
I tried searching for the MD5 checksum page for 11.04 64bit, both the alternate download version and the desktop download version and found it, but that site seems to be down right now. I also got the feeling that that website was for the daily build and may not have the MD5 checksum for the release version. What the MD5 checksum is for Ubuntu 11.04 64bit: alternate download and desktop versions.
