Ubuntu :: Stable Are The Updated Versions?
Jan 15, 2010
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've just recently started using Fedora again and have a question about BOINC.I see that Fedora 13 is using 6.10.45, but the latest recommended release is 6.10.56.What is the timing on updated RPMs for new BOINC versions? Or is there a guide to updating manually, which I've been unable to locate?

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.

I've never really had a problem with ubuntu 9.4 and 9.10.In 9.10 I even used KDE 4 and even that went quite well (for being KDE 4). I have never had a freeze or crash in Ubuntu 9.4 and 9.10, and had been using those for 9 months or so. But ever since I upgraded to 10.4, many things went wrong. I think it's less than a month ago since I upgraded. Remember that I've never had freezes or crashes in 9.4 and 9.10.
Now so far I've had:
-2 times suddenly the mouse lags and I have to reboot
-1 time the screen went black and I had to reboot
-1 time KDE4 was acting strange, constantly giving messages about that it was going to disable composite rendering due to being slow. Yes, the system was slow indeed. Had to reboot.
-less stable KDE4.4 than the KDE4.3 of ubuntu 9.10: the new KDE4 version did more weird things like moving around icons when never asked for and being generally unstable
-many, very many, problems and obvious slowness due to nepomuk and virtuoso-t
-I installed KDE 3.5 after the KDE4 problems above happened. But in KDE 3.5 I've ALSO had mouse lag (after pressing "ok" on a window about installing updates).
-I use this OS mainly for Java development. The upgrade to Ubuntu 10.4 ruined all JDK 1.6 related packages and provided no easy way to install them, so I had to do it manually.
With Ubuntu 9.10, working productively went much better than with 10.4.I mean, ever since Windows 98, I've never seen anything as unstable as KDE4.4 on Ubuntu 10.4! I mean it, with what I've encountered, this comparison is really fair imho.Did anyone else experience that Ubuntu 10.4 is less stable than 9.X, or am I the only one?

Why does update manager doesn't tell me that ubuntu 10.10 is out? I'm running 10.04.1 LTS. I have to do alt-F2 "update-manager -d" in order to see the 10.10 message even if ubuntu is config to notice me of normal releases.And then just before the update begins, the official readme says that 10.10 is (at the moment) a RELEASE CANDIDATE version. Just an old not-updated readme?Why does Ubuntu official home page annunces 10.10 as a stable version?

I used firefox 4 before I installed ubuntu onto my laptop, and since I didn't know how to upgrade to FF4 under ubuntu, I just installed google chrome instead.
Sometimes ..... videos crash when I go to a different tab and listen to it, and I've been wondering which is the best and most stable browser to use? Firefox sounds like a good deal, but I've gotten used to FF4's interface and would like to know how to upgrade

Is this in a PPA yet? I see a tarball on the Mozilla site but hate tarball installs if I can do it through a package. I just ran the Update Manager and the Firefox (Namoroka) link in my menu is 3.6.x.
I'm running Minefield right now from the bleeding-edge repos and would prefer to switch to FF4 stable... is there an (easy) way to do that and keep my settings and add-ons?

I'm not a technically minded person but have been reading around and found that there seems to be a stable version of Grub 2.[URL]... As I'd rather not be using beta software for something as critical as the boot loader does anyone know how I'd set about installing it.

Does anyone have a way to use this type of encryption? I have read many posts but have not gotten a solution yet. I am trying to get this to work at a friend's house. I know the SSID and the super-long ascii code (with symbols?). gnome nm and wicd have been useless. I have been connecting to my school's wpa2 using wpa_supplicant + dhclient directly, so I tried adding it in there:
network={
ssid="name"
scan_ssid=0
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk="horribly long thing"
}
What happens is a string of connects and then immediate disconnects when runnign wpa_supplicant. It says "CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - disconnect event - remove keys" then starts all over. Can't get a stable connection but I must be close?

I'm running a standard 10.04 install with Gnome, but wanted to try out KDE 4.5 since it just came out. Now I installed KDE through the normal software channels and this installed 4.4.5. The question is how do I now upgrade to 4.5 as it appears 4.5 isn't in the stable ubuntu update channels?

I can boot off of the Natty LiveCD, run it for days fine. Install, everything's smooth. Boot up and run some updates. That's where it hung the first time around. Display froze, cursor and keyboard would not respond, audio was stuck looping. This was a pain because it corrupted some stuff with apt. Any point from power-on onward is "eligible" for a crash. It seems to be random, but there also seems to be a trend of it crashing earlier on as time proceeds. This is a custom built computer, and I've tried other Linux distros like Debian and 9.04 UNR, they all crash somewhere in the install. Leaves me thinking it's a hardware fault, but why would it run perfectly fine off of CD but die when installed then?

I'm running OpenSUSE11.3 64bits with KDE 4.4.4 (release 3). Is it safe to upgrade to KDE4.6? Is KDE 4.5 better/more stable than 4.6? Why is both 4.5 and 4.6 developed? Why not go for one version?

Ever since i found out that there was something called cinepaint i've tried to install it. On their website it says that the debian version currently isn't stable, and therefore not released. I've tried their own CVS file, and costum files. Nothing so far works.

Since all what I can find on google is about benchmarks I'd like to ask you if a 64 bit kernel would be more stable , secure and reliable than a 32 bit one.
I ask this question because apparently the 64 bit instruction set offers more advanced security features (i'm saying apparently because I'm not able to give details since it been a really fast read) which would be used by a 64 bit Operating System (Apple also stated that 64 bit applications are less likely to be "attacked").
I have to assume that a 32 bit one does not use them right? Should I stick to 64 bit? (to be honest that "not for everyday" thing on ubuntu download pages made me wonder lol, because since intrepid i ALWAYS used the 64 bit version)
My "lowest" computer has a pentium processor (1,6 ghz dual core) according to lshw I have NX enabled and my ram is 2GB (might seem useless using a 64bit kernel on 2 GB but i'm more concerned about security now)

I had an Idea of putting an Ubuntu 10.10 source in there as it works on that, any body tried this ?
