Ubuntu :: Restart The Upgrade From The 'command Line'?
May 25, 2010
I have been running Ubuntu 9.10 for a while now. Today, I ran updates on my computer and also requested the upgrade to 10.04. Unfortunately, a few hours into it my computer hung. I had no choice but to reboot. When I did so the computer started a 10.04 screen and then went to a 'command line' for me to login. I am able to login, however, all i have is the 'command line'. What can i do now? Can I restart the upgrade from the 'command line'?
I have a GUI for Samba already as it most likely installed, the problem is I don't have a shared folder in admin menu. I have told samba what folder to share and what user to have access to it. As well I have looked at the config file to make sure what was in the gui printed into the config file. However I cannot start, stop, restart samba via command line. I will try config package and hopefully that drops down everything,

sudo service smbd restart unrecognized service, nmbd same thing. Now it is installed, but has no script file or the script file is not in the init.d folder like it should be still trying to figure I have come to the conclusion that the daemons are not installed and am trying to figure out what those script files look like or a way to import them off a ftp, however no luck with google so far. But the scripts files don't exist on my box. how do you install samba daemons when it says samba is already installed.
if it's possible (or how to) upgrade the kernel using apt-get? ...particularly from 2.6.35.4 to 2.6.38-8.I'm using an upgraded Ubuntu 11.04 installation
I clicked on the upgrade to LTS 10.04 option on my Asus 901 EEE PC and after completion it will only boot straight to command line...I would like to get back to the UNR Gui.
I had problems with python stuff and so update manager did not work. Also many other problems, PiTiVi was installed but did not start eg... After many trials of this and that I removed python-gtk2 and so also ubuntu desktop. But was unable to get it back. Now I cannot even shut down. While it is not possible to install desktop or anything else, would it be possible to fix this by upgrading the whole system to 10.04 (10.10?)? Would it fix python installation. How could I do it. Some info tells to change sources.list and run apt-get upgrade, but some tell not to do so.
t@t:~$ update-manager Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 26, in <module>
Keep getting alert notification box, with close button. But get no response from keyboard or mouse. So I can't get past it. It seems that you do not have the hardware required to run Unity. Please choose Ubuntu Classic at the login screen and you will be using the traditional environment. (Late model Dell, probably less than 2 years old.) But since I can't use the mouse to activate the close button, or use the keyboard (alt + x, or enter), I can't get past that point. Is there some control sequence I can use during boot startup and get to single user mode and modify something?
I've been unable to do a fresh install of XBMC Live 9.11 to my hard drive. Everytime it fails at the Install System step. But I am able to get XBMC Live 9.04.1 to install successfully. How do I upgrade XBMC Live 9.04.1 to 9.11? I understand that Ctrl+Alt+F2 brings up the command line, but what are the next set of commands to run?
how do you download an update or an upgrade (or whatever it's called) on a command line. for chromium internet browser. opened the computer and couldn't watch videos. i tried all the downloads available on adobe's website and all of them are on my "downloads" folder and when i click on any i just get stuff i don't understand and i simply find it easier to download through terminal.
I've upgraded a server on our LAN from fully functioning Wheezy to Jessie. All seems fine except remote administering using Putty from my windows workstation when issuing reboot from command line, it goes down and reboots but stops at login prompt asking for username and password and does not come back on the LAN network. This server does not normally have a monitor or keyboard so my ability to remote admin this server in effect is disabled.
If I log on, it will come back on the LAN network. I've checked the logs but can't see any errors. Is it in the configuration of Jessie somewhere or perhaps a Grub issue. I have 5 other production Wheezy servers that I intend to update to Jessie once I understand how to deal with this problem.
i've gotten my fedora 12 to the point where i can run python3 scripts from command line and can call up python 2.6.2 idle with the command 'idle' from command line. what command will call up python3 (3.1.2 to be exact) idle?
I know my way around MS Windows much better, but I just don't feel right trying to program something for Android on a Microsoft operating system. I am interested in Android programming so I followed the instructions on [URL] to install the environment on my computer...
I just installed the JDK, SDK, Eclipse successfully (or I assume):
* When I get to Step 4 where I'm supposed to run 'android' it will not run. I get the error message "android: command not found" (I am definitely in the right directory).
** When I double-click it in nautilus, it opens up in gedit. I can set the permissions in nautilus (through the properties - Allow executing file as a program) and get it to work,
how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash # #TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.
$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe. When we execute date | wc on the command line, it goes fine.then | is not treated as an argument. Why?
which does not work on the invisible directories (why?). When I used ".*" as wildcard it changed all (visible) files including the parent directory (the one I was currently working in which is the "dot") . I can change the invisible directories owner and group using dophin but how is it done from the command line?
I am trying to learn how to pass more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal.
I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code: #! /bin/bash # #TODO write this for gnome and xterm USAGE=" ${0##*/} [-x] [-g] code....
However, running with the -g option to invoke gnome-terminal, I get a "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" error.
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to

Just attempted to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, after having updated everything. Upon completion of the upgrade I was asked to restart, however, when I restarted the PC I was presented with the following: GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.
I was upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 and by mistake i closed the terminal window from where I run the: sudo update-manager -d.is there anyway to force the upgrade or restart it?
i am an ubuntu nooby, out of curiosity i installed ubuntu 11.04 alpha3 last night. Yes, i will definitely never install an alpha version unless i wish to test it! Frankly said, i first installed 386 version on a notebook which runs just fine. So I thought why not install the 64 bit version on my pc.
Unfortunately, the system did not finish the first reboot in order to complete the installation. First it always stopped at "checking battery state". There, I read that this bug is already fixed: [URL]... I came across this thread: [URL]... So I pressed Alt +F2 in order to log in and performed sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade. Everytime there was a new update I hoped, that this will fix the issue. But when I shutdown the system with sudo shutdown now -h and restart again there is no progress.The only thing that changed is that the system no stops at "Stopping userspace bootsplash", whatever that means?
Using netbook asus 1005ha with lucid beta 1 with most of updates on learning to use the CLI and headaches cd command does not seem to reconise directories here is a sample
Code:
yeh i know read the f#####g manual i am but any help would be greatly accepted tried sudo with same commands same problem did have a problem on my debian system that was to do with paths this is not the same on a different footnote anyone thinking of upgrading to lucid sit tight on 9.10 there are still to many issues that need ironing out for a system that is your main system.
I had a working ubuntu 8.04.x system. I ran the update manager to upgrade to 10.04.1 LTS. Everything seemed to run fine up to the point where it needed a restart. Upon restart, it spews out a stream of log messages, changes the font of the log messages already displayed, and then the screen goes blank and the system does not respond to keyboard or mouse. It appears as if the system is trying to set up the monitor and messes up.
If I ESC into grub after BIOS boot, I have the option of booting two different kernels: 2.6.32-27-generic and 2.6.24-28-generic. The original ubuntu 8.04 kernel was 2.6.24-24-generic(though I did do some updates might that be the 24-28 kernel?).
Booting the 32-27 kernel results in the behavior described above.
Booting the 24-28 kernel produces a stream of log messages that scroll past to fast to read and drops into ash. One of the last messages is: !ALERT /dev/disk/by-uuid/ xxxxxx does not exist -which is true because there is very little in the /dev directory.
my fedora box was in the process of doing an core upgrade from 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 to 2.2.33.8-149.fc13.i686 and appeared to have stalled on the selinux part of the update 55% of the way through. Figuring the system wouldn't allows itself to be shutdown till it was ready i told it to do a restart. i'm running 2 raid 1's, 1 for the boot partition and 1 for fedora.End result it wont boot the newer core goes straight here
" md: invalid raid superblock magic on sdb1 md: invalid raid superblock magic on sdb3 md: invalid raid superblock magic on sda1
[code]...
and the old core boots does a black screen with some text saying ???, then goes blue screen outline of fedora symbol filling in then pulses and shows the symbol and then just sits there.tell me this isn't the end of the os and there is a way to "recover" it or save it somehow.
am starting to get this figured out. finally got the wifi working on a HP touchsmart tx2 laptop and once i give ubuntu a total system shutdown command this system restarts, is this normal or do i need to fix something?
I was playing with the Gnome-shell and my gui crashed. I was stuck in full-screen Terminal (i.e., Ctrl Alt F2) but I could not figure out how to shutdown/restart the computer.Anybody know if there's a command for this that works from within Terminal?
