Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Update On Laptop - Error "Can't Install 'xubuntu-desktop' It Was Impossible To Install A Required Package"

Oct 6, 2010

I downloaded the 6.06 version of xubuntu because i have a laptop that doesnt support high graphics mode, and i wasnt able to figure out how to get it to run in low graphics mode. i figured that i would get a version from a while back, and then update it up to the current version. now, to the problem. I was able to upgrade 6.10, but now it says Ubuntu version 8.04 available, so i tried to update it. it gets most of the way through the part where it says calculating or something like that, and then it says: "Can't install 'xubuntu-desktop' It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a bug." with an option that says close at the bottom. when i click close another window pops up that says: Could not calculate the upgrade A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by:

* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport. Then the window just closes... anything that i could do to get rid of this problem? EDIT: Is there any way to update directly from an .iso file on the desktop?

Installation :: Error While Trying To Boot Ubuntu After Installing Desktop Edition / Fix This?

Jan 20, 2011

I downloaded and installed the Ubuntu desktop edition and when I boot up I have the options to boot either Windows 7, or Ubuntu (so far so good), however, when I select Ubuntu I get a message saying that the following file is corrupt:

File: ubuntuwinbootwubildr.mbr

status: 0xc000000f

Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.

Any thoughts on this? Would just re-installing it fix the problem?

OpenSUSE Install :: Error Installing 11.3 On Dell T3500 Desktop

Sep 14, 2010

I am trying to install OpenSUSE 11.3 on a Dell T3500 Desktop machine. The configuration (related to the problem) of the machine is as follows:

Intel Xeon CPU W3520, 4GB RAM
Intel 82801 SATA RAID Controller
Samsung HD161GJ 160 GB SATA,
Optiarc DVD+-RW AD-7230S

When I try to boot from the OpenSUSE 11.3 x86_64 DVD, I get a curses based screen which says, "Make sure that CD number 1 is in your drive." (with OK and Back buttons). On pressing Back and trying to install again, I get an angry red dialog, which declares, "No repository found."

I tried connecting an external USB DVD drive and then booting from it, then this problem did not come and the install went to start the GUI. But then it could not find the (rather any) hard disk!

We have a set of these identical machines and the problem is fully repeatable on all of them (I tried downloading and burning the DVD image again, that didn't help). The same machines have OpenSUSE 11.1 and 11.2 installed on them and there was no such problem installing those.

Ubuntu :: Installing Xubuntu From USB Key?

Apr 14, 2011

I have an MSI netbook with a non-functioning version of Ubuntu (the GUI is GNOME, and currently not working) and I'm trying to replace that with xubuntu. For whatever reason, I cannot get the system to mount the USB key, which currently has nothing on it except for the xubuntu .iso file. My computer is encrypted with sda5_crypt, which comes up and demands a password just after the MSI boot screen. I assume I need to press some kind of key before the sda5_crypt screen, but I'm not sure which button that is. There is an option of pressing F11 for "boot menu", and from there I can select "flash card", but it doesn't do me any good to do that.

Ubuntu :: Installing Exaile On Xubuntu 8.04?

Jun 21, 2010

early yesterday morning, my windows 7 laptop died. the connection that accepts power from the ac adapter died. in response, i put back together my super-old desktop computer and installed the copy of xubuntu 8.04. i had laying around. i have been using windows' os's for my entire life and this is my first run on a linux based machine.

the problem i have is this: i can't install exaile as my media player. after watching videos on videos, googling until i've gone insane and trying plain old trial and error i absolutely cannot figure out how to install it. i downloaded the tar.gz from their website and have it extracted to my desktop. that's as far as i've gotten. this is ridiculously frustrating for me because i feel like i should be able to do this.

Ubuntu :: Installing Xubuntu 10.4 On Panasonic Toughbook CF-29

May 27, 2010

I'm trying to install Xubuntu 10.4 on a Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 (Pentium M 1.4, 768MB ram). I downloaded the i386 desktop iso and burned it to a disk to install. When I go to install it freezes though. I tried it a couple times and one time when it froze I hit ALT-F1 and I saw this error message about squashfs repeating over and over. I thought maybe it was a bad disk at first so I burned another one and tried, same issue though. Then I thought maybe the ISO was bad so I downloaded another one from a different server.

Burned another disk same issue. Ran md5sum util on the ISO it is is definitely good. Was able to try one of the disks in another computer and it was able to work as a live cd (which it would not on the toughbook). This toughbook is known to be good because I have a Ubuntu 9.10 live CD that runs on it and I tried installing XP on it and that worked. I don't think there is any problem with the computer. So, I'm stuck. It looks like I have a good disk and a good computer. Why won't the two cooperate with eachother? How to get this to work?

Ubuntu :: Xubuntu Mounted Drives On Desktop?

Jul 27, 2010

I have installed Xubuntu on an old laptop which has a floppy disk.

On the desktop where mounted drives will normally appear, it constantly shows the floppy disk on the desktop even though there is not floppy inside, so I have disabled the desktop from showing mounted drives, however now anything else like a CD or USB drive will not show up on the desktop. Is there a way to choose what types of devices are shown on the desktop?

I have considered disabling the floppy from the BIOS(assuming that is possible), but I would rather not go down that road just yet.

Ubuntu :: Enabling Desktop Effects In Xubuntu 10.10?

Nov 27, 2010

I tried out Xubuntu 10.10 on one of my older computers. Got it installed without a problem. Added the restricted driver module that I needed Nvidia, added the Compiz settings manager, but I cant seem to find a way to enable desktop effects. I realize that Xubuntu uses the XFCE window manger which is sort of light weight compared to Gnome or KDE, so I am asking if anyone has managed to get the desktop effects running in a similar environment. I checked and observed that the nvidia module has been loaded.

Ubuntu Servers :: Add Xubuntu-desktop To Server And Then Open RDP ?

Feb 19, 2011

I was wondering if it would be secure to add xubuntu-desktop to my server and then open RDP so my colleuges can jump in and out as they need to. Would it bring any major security risks to my server to do this?I have heard there are ways to put a chroot around an RDP session, so it is like logging into a virtual machine, how would I go about that?

Ubuntu :: Desktop Dead After Upgrade Xfce 4.8 (Xubuntu 10.10)?

Mar 10, 2011

I installed Xubuntu 10.10, fresh i don't configure or installed another program, i only installed nvidia drivers (I have a Geforce 9600 GT video card). The entire operating system, and xfce 4.6 was working fine. After, I make an upgrade to xfce 4.8, and when i loged on, everything loaded ok: xfce 4.8 version is working fine, the panels loaded and i can add items.

But there is a problem: My wallpaper image doesn't appear on desktop (only brown solid color), it doesn't show icons, i can't change wallaper in configuration panel (i can add an image but it does not appear in desktop), when I plug in a pendrive usb icon does no appear. And when I right click on the deadspace on the background the right click menu does not come up.

When i open desktop folder in thunar there is information, but icon files does not appear in desktop I thing that maybe is a setting that i can solve typing something in terminal, but i don't know what, i searched in google and in this forum and i found only one post but not related to xfce 4.8 and it was not useful[URL]...

General :: Installing Canon MX-860 Wireless Printer In Xubuntu?

Sep 16, 2010

I've been running Xubuntu 9.04 for the past couple of months but have difficulty installing my Canon MX-860 wireless printer. Everything else works perfectly and connects wirelessly to internet. Since I run a couple of other Win based computers, printing from the Toshiba 1100 laptop hasn't been a problem. It would be an advantage. I tried to install the latest Xubuntu distro on the Toshiba and it installed but could not connect to the wireless Atheros card. Where should I start? get Distro 10.04 working first or try and install the printer with the existing distro?

Ubuntu :: Xubuntu Startup Error - Can Get In If Hit Esc?

using Xubuntu 9.10 on a Dell GX270, 500MB memory, Intel 82865G integrated graphics.On logging in, I get an Xsession error -- unless I hit Esc, as soon as the initial splash screen (the one with a bundle of mosquitos buzzing around each other) appears. This is iffy -- I have to time it right. The .xsession-errors file produced has the following in it:

Code:
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
Setting IM through im-switch for locale=en_US.
