How can I delete the other one and install the right one? I installed the desktop version and I needed the netbook version. Can I delete the partition and install the right version like new?
View 9 RepliesWhile trying to get a new revision of ntfs-3g packaged for my OS (2010.10.02) i've run into an odd issue. I pulled the ntfs-3g sources, and got the package sources for the ntfs3g debs (apt-get source ntfs3g).I pulled the <src dir>/debian directory into the new sources, went into <new src dir>/debian/<package names>/DEBIAN and altered the versions in the control files to reflect the current version. However, during dpkg-build, the versions revert to the original package version which is 2010.03.06. When these debs get installed, apt-get update thinks that despite both the version of the installed package, and the version of the upstream package being the same, that it should replace the one i made with the upstream.

For some reason Firefox 4 seems intent on identifying itself as Firefox 5.0. How do I fix this? My extensions won't install claiming they can't run on 5.0.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I installed fedora 11 the other day using the live CD it installed the i586 kernel and not the i686, despite the fact that smolt seems to know that that the hardware is i686 (well, actually it's x86, but I'm not going to argue because I forgot to get that one...). Why would it install the i586 one though? (uname -r 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586) But more importantly, are there any specific issues which this version can cause that I should be aware of? I can't really be bothered to change it at the moment if there is no real issue with it but I'm not too sure what difference it makes? Is it slower? It seems to know that I have a quad-core processor and seems to use them fine.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Fedora Core 8 server came with OpenSSH Server 4.7p1 installed. I could not find a YUM package or RPM for 5.2p1, so I installed it manually and rebooted. Now if I do a version check with "sshd -v", it reports it's version as "OpenSSH_5.2p1", but if I connect with Putty, it reports "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7". Do I have two versions of OpenSSH running or what's going on?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two HDs and recently reinstalled Ubuntu.
However, I think grub may have installed to my media drive and not my main HD.
Here is the output of fdisk -l:
Code:
dev/sda1 is my media drive and I think during setup grub-install may have been automatically run on /dev/sda1. If this is the case,
1) How can I remove grub from sda1 and install it on sdb?
2) Should it be on sdb1 or sdb2?
3) Can I change the naming so my main drive is sda and my media drive is sdb?
Just installed OpenSUSE 11.3 64-bit. I have a program that uses libjpeg, so I installed libjpeg and the dev modules. It has both version 6 and 8 installed. When I run my prog and try to access the lib I get this error: Wrong JPEG library version: library is 80, caller expects 62 This seems a common problem elsewhere. Anyone know how to fix it in 11.3 ?

I have a system with two hard drives: an old one with XP and Ubuntu on it, and a new one on which I have done a fresh install of XP. The BIOS is set to boot off the new drive. I have now installed Ubuntu Studio 10.04(off an alternate install disc, not a live CD)onto a partition on the new drive. The installation went fine, but it appears to have written the GRUB bootloader to the old disc. The result is that when I boot up, the system boots straight into XP off the new drive, without ever seeing GRUB. I could reset the boot order in the BIOS each time I boot according to which OS I want, but that is cumbersome; also I would like to be able to remove the old drive at some point.
What is the easiest way for me to re-install GRUB to the new disc ?
I accidentally installed ATI graphics drivers on an intel graphics system. They didn't appear to install properly, because upon next boot everything was fine, except for compiz and any 3d game.
compiz-check says that I've managed to get intel back as default, but I'm still missing a rendering method.
Does anyone know how to get the renderer back? I assume it has something to do with changing the kernel? I don't know how to change the kernel anyway.
A couple weeks ago I became fed up with using Backtrack5 as a primary OS, as fun as it is, and installed Kubuntu 64-bit for AMD on a laptop with an intel chip. I didn't see an intel iso on Kubuntu's site right away, and I suppose I was too excited to try it to care. I have been having some problems with plugins working correctly, but i'm not even sure this architectural mixup is to blame for that.
To cut to the chase, should I be worried about installing kubuntu that was intended for AMD on a board with an intel chip? I figure i havent really done anything I can't easily redo yet, and if I want to reinstall, i'd like to do it before I cross that bridge!
I am an openSuSE user for many years. My current installation is openSuSE 11.2. However, my first was SuSE 6.4 and I have been _constantly_ upgrading since then until reaching the current openSuSE 11.2. The technical issue I have been facing lately is with the kernel version of my current system: although it should be 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop, as this is the one I have chosen via the online update mechanism and the yast2 system boot-loader procedure, grub shows it as preselected, the boot procedure in the end greets me mentioning this very kernel version, _but_ when I issue the command: uname -a in a command prompt, I am informed of using linux kernel version: 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP PREEMPT
I am really quite puzzled, since I _cannot_ find any such vmlinuz file under /boot/ ! Could it be that my system properly runs with the expected kernel version, but uname mistakes it with a different one? Is there a way to determine the actual version of the linux kernel that my system currently runs with? If it's a problem with uname, have you got any suggestions that could potentially shed some light towards the origin/cause of the reported issue?
I did apply the updates on 11.1 32bit and upgraded the kernel from 2.6.27.45 to 2.6.27.56.
Now:
Code:
> uname -a
Linux myhost 2.6.27.45-0.1-default #1 SMP 2010-12-01 16:57:58 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
but:
Code:
> cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.27.56-0.1-pae (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP 2010-12-01 16:57:58 +0100
I installed the video drivers for my ATi 3870 and I found out the hard way it was the wrong driver, so now upon booting I can only get as far as an Ubuntu screen with some text and then my computer will restart once it reaches that point. It'll keep doing this until I turn it off, and I can't seem to get to a point in which I can get any control over it. I made a live CD but it has the same effect.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI mucked my system up while trying to install proprietary nvidia drivers -- I was careless and installed the wrong ones (should have used legacy drivers). Now my system hangs on "starting udev" during boot.I have tried many combinations of boot options in an effort to blacklist the problematic driver. Attached is a picture of my boot screen after specifying the options "single init 3 modprobedebug", and removing the options "rgbh quiet". For some reason I am having a lot of trouble blacklisting the correct module, or maybe I caused a kernel problem, which in that case is beyond me.Also, boot option syntax question: can I specify something like "rdblacklist=*nvidia*" using wildcards?

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 alongside windows xp pro. When I turn my pc on I have the option to boot to ubuntu or xp and at the top of the window it says that the version of grub running is "GNU GRUB Version 1.98+20100804-5Ubuntu-3" how I shold go about installing GRUB 2 or just leave it as is.
I installed newest Ubuntu system, 11.04, Natty-Narwhal, and PC is running smoothly. It is solid machine, Celeron 430, 1 gb of DDR2 memory and I have both LAN card and graphics integrated on the mobo which is MSI 7529, based on G31/P35/P31 chipset.
I plugged lan cable directly from my PC to the ADSL router. There is another Win Xp machine on the same router and it has connection, and internet is working fine. Right now Im writing from the Win 7 laptop, which is connected to the same router via wifi link... all working like a charm...
But, when I plug the Ubuntu desk I cannot get access to bot lan and internet...

As you can see I need to install driver named r8101 instead this one r8169 and I think it will work that way. I found driver here only problem is dont know how to replace them.
Ok.. when it comes to drivers and kernels...I have a rented server - so I do not have local access to it, and I do not have a KVM or remote console to it.
This is the current kernel that came with it:
Linux version 2.6.26-2-686 (Debian 2.6.26-22lenny1) (dannf@debian.org) (gcc version 4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-25)) #1 SMP Wed May 12 21:56:10 UTC 2010 the network card module according to support is r8169 (when i do lsmod i see r8169 listed), lspci lists it as: Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03).
So.. where everything went bad is after I installed grsecurity kernel via apt-get install linux-image-grsec. It installed and rebooted successfully, but without the right network card module. The datacentre support had to reboot it to the original kernel for me.
So - i don't know how to update the network card drivers of the grsecurity kernel? It has to be perfect (I can't do trial and error) because each attempt that fails, I have to engage the datacentre support to reboot the system back into the original kernel. Apparently the new kernel detected it as a gigabit fibre card.
How do I know if I installed the netbook version of ubuntu or the vanilla version on my dell mini 10? I was sure that I downloaded the .iso for the netbook version, but I seem to get the normal ubuntu.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've tried to install ubuntu 10.10 on a rather old Acer 3610 1.5 GHZ notebook previously running Windows XP. The problem I've encountered is that Acer Aspire 3613 WLMi is restricted to 2 GB RAM. But ubuntu 10.10 stops installation process (using LiveCD) because the Acer RAM is detected to be less than the 2.5 GB minimum expected by ubuntu. Also no Internet connection is detected when LiveCD is run .. but that is another problem. The Internet connection on my ubuntu 10.10 is fine as this post proves! What ubuntu version (or other linux distro) is recommended to install with just 2 GB RAM?
