Ubuntu :: Get Sources For Old Ubuntu Versions?
Mar 5, 2011
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and I need to build kernel (2.6.27) for old Ubuntu version 8.10 Intrepid.I read bunch of manuals how to build Ubuntu kernel, but I still can not find answer to two fundamental questions!
I was told, that I can't simply take kernel sources from kernel.org and compile them for Ubuntu.I need special Ubuntu patched kernel sources, so my question is whether this is correct and where can I get these sources for old Ubuntu 8.10? I was also told that I CAN take sources from kernel.org but then I have to apply special Ubuntu patches. Where can I take these Ubuntu patches for old Ubuntu 8.10?
I tried the following: This is not good because it will bring me sources for current version 2.6.32-29-generic apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`
The following returned errors
apt-get source linux-image-2.6.29-11
E: Unable to find a source package for linux-image-2.6.29-11
apt-get source linux-image-2.6.28
[Code]...

Trying to install VMWare I get the following message:
Really after it VMWare anyway doesn't agree to install. Zypper says that no newer version of gcc is available. So I can't see how I can install VMWare.

I've got the following problem: I just noticed that there were just very few notifications about updating the system (usually there are damn many of them in a week) So I opened the update manager and clicked on "refresh list". The following result popped up: p,li{white-space:pre-wrap;}E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found First I thought, it would be just some kind of server problem, but it didn't stop. The next thing was to research the thread and I even found something. However, the solution suggested didn't work at all. (Things, which might have caused this: I installed the default software center |I'm using Kubuntu, but in this case that fact doesn't matter| and used it. To sum up:
- not able to update the system referring to the launchpad main sources for 11.04
- following error: E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found It would be great if this was a common issue and I've been simply too stupid to find a proper solution. So you could just post the link.

I am running Jolicloud on my netbook (which I believe is an Ubuntu derivative) and I am tried to enter the getdeb.net sources in so I can install apps from the website through APT but
1) When I entered the sources into sources.list and then the key into Terminal and then went to the site and tried to install an app it didn't work.
2) I deleted the line of code in the sources.list file and when I opened terminal and entered "sudo apt-get update" it showed the list of sources, but on the list were Getdeb.net sources.
My question is how do I delete sources that aren't in /etc/apt/sources.list ?

I'm not to clear on the difference between LTS versions and other versions, but think I may want to go with LTS. Can someone tell me if my thinking is correct given the following situation: I have some very cool, but very expensive software installed with a group license from my school, a school which I am not going to be attending for too much longer. So I want to go as long as possible without reinstalling Ubuntu, because once the product is licensed it will be licensed until I reinstall Ubuntu (or I uninstall the program). So I think this is going to require me keep the Ubuntu version I install as long as possible.
So in this case, should I go with 10.04LTS or should I just install Natty Narwhal and keep that as long as possible? It looks like 10.04LTS will be "supported" longer, but I'm not exactly clear on all that "supported" entails. Presumable it means security and software updates will be available for 10.04LTS for much longer than 11.x versions? So I'm thinking I should go with 10.04LTS
Is my thinking correct in going with 10.04LTS? Edit: It was pointed out that this would be against my contractual agreements. Which I suppose is probably true.

installed the latest version of R ( R.2.11.1) in my machine and I can run that by simply typing "R" in terminal but I need to install the old version of R ( R.2.9.2) since some packages don't support the new version. I have the .tar.gz file of old version. How can I install that? How do I run in terminal ?

Just tried to run an apt-get update on my 8.10 Ibex server and got lots of errors about missing Packages.gz files. Checking the archive site [URL] shows that all Intrepid directories are missing!

Trying to get the thunderbird localization working I briefly checked thunderbird 3, to see if it had the same issue. Now, the problem is, I accidentally installed new versions of Firefox 3.5 and XULrunner. If I remove them, then many other packets get removes due to dependencies. Same if I try to force version. If I simply remove the repos, then synaptic reports them as broken. Is there anything I can do to solve this? How stable are the updated versions? How often do they get updated?

I'd like to put Sabayon 5.2 onto a 2GB USB pen in order to install on a PC. However when I opened UNetbootin I noticed the highest version for Sabayon was 4 [picture attached]. Is it worth trying? Otherwise what is the best alternative to UNetbootin?

I have Ubuntu 8.04 CD & I want to install it. I'm still learning the basics and I don't want to upgrade the version. You know, the newer the version the more space it takes.

I've from different sources that the TraceMonkey JS engine is available:
1) in 32-bit Fx 3.5+ and 64-bit Fx 3.6+
2) only in 32-bit Fx 3.5+ (and 64-bit nigthly builds)
3) in both 32- and 64-bit Fx 3.5+ etc. I've heard that to run TM one has to have the entry javascript.options.jit.content set to true - I have this entry and it is set to true by default (and I use 64-bit Fx 3.5).

I've found lots of posts about reinstalling applications when they're already installed but I'd like to install Mediawiki v1.14, instead of the current v1.15, in order to replicate an older Windows implementation of Mediawiki. I've installed Ubuntu desktop 10.04 and Synaptic offers me only v1.15 of Mediawiki. So can I use Synatpic or the Ubuntu Software Center to obtain this slightly old version 1.14 of Mediawiki? If I use Synaptic to obtain v1.14, will it also provide the additional packages (Apache, PHP, MySql etc.,) in the same way that it would for v1.15?

My main computers are still on 8.04 and 8.10 versions, and it's certainly time to upgrade with a new LTS version 10.04. So, what's the best way to upgrade? I certainly want to maintain my current setup and data for apps like my email (I use sylpheed) and Firefox.
Should I just use Update Manager? It is currently offering me 9.04, for example, does that mean I will need to upgrade through each version a step at a time, or can I jump some versions?

I've been having some odd kernel issues recently. A while back I installed 2.6.32rc6 when I first upgraded to 9.04, because it solved issues I was having with surround sound. A few months back I installed mythtv and the mythbuntu binaries as well, although I have since uninstalled them. All of a sudden, I seemed to have issues booting into ubuntu with certain versions of the kernel, where it would just freeze at the white ubuntu logo, while other versions of the kernel would load fine (I think 2.6.31?) but it would display the mythbuntu logo instead (not sure if this is related).
I just upgraded to 10.04, and I still seem to have issues booting with certain kernel versions. Right now I'm running 2.6.32-020632rc6-generic which seems to work, but it's outdated, and I have surround sound issues again. Which one should I be using? Is there a way to clean this mess up? How do I fix the problem of freezing at the boot screen?

I have installed GCC 4.5.1 using senaptic. But typing gcc in any terminal still calls the older version of gcc. I see that in /usr/bin gcc is a link to the older gcc. Would it be OK to replace that link with the new one poiting to the newer version of GCC?

I am new to linux and I recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop. Thing is, I have both Ubuntu and Windows 7 running and everything was fine. But there was an update that Ubuntu did on the system, and now when my pc boots, I have 2 series ( 2 times Ubuntu, 2 times Ubunti safemode, 2 times memory test, 2 times memory test safemode) of choices for Ubuntu and one for windows 7.

So I've been trying to install 11.04 on my laptop for a couple days. I tried the USB install a countless amount of times, and I tried upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 to 11.04, but it never worked. I finally installing it from Windows by the wubi installer, and now it works perfectly.
What I want to do now is remove 10.04, as well as GRUB. GRUB first comes up, and I select my Windows partition. Then I choose Ubuntu to load, and then another GRUB comes up. how do I remove 10.04, as well as make loading Ubuntu more simple?

I've just done an upgrade install from Maverick to Natty, and noticed (while poking about in Synaptic) that version 4.4 of g++ was installed alongside 4.5. (Further investigation revealed that this was the case for both gcc and gcj as well.)
If anyone here installed Natty from scratch, could they look in Synaptic and tell me if both versions come installed by default? Or can I assume the presence of 4.4 is simply because it was installed under Maverick and get rid of it?
I'm using the "Ubuntu Classic" interface (i.e. Gnome) and admit that I don't know if it's possible to get the required information from Unity's "Ubuntu Software Centre".

I did "uname -a" and it's showing that I'm using 2.6.31-16-generic of the Linux Kernel. Now, in the GRUB2 boot menu, it's showing
2.6.31-14-generic & recovery
2.6.31-15-generic & recovery
and the current one: 2.6.31-16-generic & recovery.
I would like to remove the old ones because of the pileup they're creating.
Other info: I have wXP pro as my dualboot OS.

I have a dual boot desktop with WinXP on C: and Ubuntu on D:. GRUB 2 handles the start-up. Having installed multiple updates to Ubuntu, my GRUB menu now lists:
2.5.31-19-generic
2.5.31-17-generic
2.5.31-16-generic
2.5.31-15-generic
2.5.31-14-generic
and (recovery mode) for each of the above, along with the mem test and WinXP.Is there any reason I need to list all these variants of Ubuntu? If not, can I simply edit them from the GRUB config file or must I do something else to actually uninstall them?

I am not sure if this is the right section to ask this question (sorry if it isnt). Anyway, I want to build and install 3 different softwares:OpenCV, Player, Stage. These are required for my school projects and research etc. Now, I need to install them in this manner:
Opencv-2.0.0, player-2.1.3 and stage-2.1.1 and Opencv-2.1.0, player-3.0.1 and stage-3.2.2
The reason for this is, these are the sets of versions that talk to each other without problems. And I need the older versions for a project that I'm currently working on and its always nice to have the newest version installed on the system. If its only a single version install, its pretty easy and I can do it.Since I want to install multiple versions of the same software I could use some help. I am not sure whether I can install all of the them in the default directory (/usr/local/). So, I can set up a separate directory on my home folder. But thats as far as I've gotten to. I am particularly concerned whether one version would break another. Is there anything that I can do to avoid this?
