Ubuntu Installation :: Switching From 32 Bit To 64 Bit?
Mar 22, 2010I got a new 64 bit computer and in my infinite wisdom I installed the server edition of Ubuntu 9.10. I managed to correct that issue and now I'm running the 32 bit version of Ubuntu on my new machine on a dual boot with Windows7.
What I'm wondering is if there is a way that I could possibly switch to the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 9.10 and still be able to boot my Windows OS. I know that I could remove the 32 bit Ubuntu and start fresh, but I'm concerned that if I do that I might not be able to boot the Windows OS, due to the replacement of the Windows boot with GRUB.
Ubuntu :: Switching From UNR To Desktop?
Aug 21, 2010So I did a
Code:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-netbook*
To switch from UNR to the Desktop version.
Everything is fine except for the fact that when I have a maximized window, I do not have the minimize, maximize, and close buttons.
I have a feeling I just need to tweak something in gconf-editor, but I can't seem to find the correct setting.
Ubuntu :: Switching Over From Windows 7

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Compositing Keeps Switching Off?
Nov 26, 2010I'm running kubuntu, 10.10, 64 bit on my ASUS X59GL, with 4Gb ram - and NVIDIA on board GeForce 8200m.
I'm running KDE with compositing switched on - trouble is that it keeps saying Desktop effects are too slow and compositing is suspended. Surely this setup is powerful enough - this seems to be getting worse with each subsequent release - (a couple of releases ago, this didn't happen).
It's just happened again, and all I'm running is Firefox, nautilus, skype and dropbox (all but firefox are minimised), and uptime load average is .3 Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Is there any 'ratings' as to how 'expensive' each of the effects are? - i.e. which are the least impact, and which are the most?
Ubuntu :: Switching From GNOME To KDE?
Nov 26, 2010I currently run Linux Mint 9/GNOME on my main desktop but am thinking of switching to KDE. The main reason being that the file managers seem to have more to offer than anything in GNOME and the DE itself just seems to look better.
So the question is, if I switch, what issues am I likely to run into? I would like to continue using as many of the same programs as possible and I know that a lot of them are going to require GNOME dependencies and either might not run or will run slow, but I'm not very Linux savvy and don't know much beyond that.
I would like to still use Compiz, Guayadeque, and a few other programs. If I am going to loose the ability to run a lot of programs I am use to just to get the nicer file browser and DE then it's probably not worth it.
I'm pretty familiar with GNOME now so I'm looking for some advice from KDE users, especially if you started with GNOME.
Ubuntu :: Switching From Gcc-4.4 To Gcc4.1?
Dec 2, 2010I am trying to switch from gcc-4.4 (defaut with the "sudo apt-get install build-essential" command) to gcc-4.1
I was able to install gcc-4.1 using sudo apt-get install gcc-4.1 The command "which gcc-4.1" gives "/usr/bin/gcc-4.1" I suppose this means that it is properly installed. I was also able to uninstall gcc-4.4 using "sudo apt-get remove gcc-4.4" However, the command "gcc --version" gives "/usr/bin/gcc: No such file or directory" This is because the gcc file(?) is named gcc-4.1. A name change should work, I think. But I do not have the rights to rename this file (after right clicking, "rename" is inaccessable).
Is there some way to use sudo apt-get install gcc-4.1 and make it install into/usr/bin/gcc to avoid these issues?
Or maybe direct the OS to usr/bin/gcc-4.1 rather than usr/bin/gcc?
Ubuntu :: Switching From UFW To Iptables
Dec 20, 2010So I've used UFW for quite some time now and its been great. But I'm thinking its time to take the plunge into iptables. I want to start blocking repeated connections from IPs trying to brute force my SSH.
I've been reading up on iptables, and it doesn't seem too bad. But I have a few questions I'm hoping people can help with.
1) If I've been using UFW, do I need to do anything special to switch to iptables. I was just going to do "ufw disable". But do I need to uninstall it, or something special. Because even when I do ufw disable, there are still lines in the iptables talking about ufw.
2) regarding those lines, do I need to get rid of them? Is there a way to revert the iptables back to default? These are the lines.
Code:
3) I've read some things that the order of rules in the "chain" matters, but I don't fully understand it. Does it just mean that whatever comes first within the chain takes precedence? So does that mean that if I want to add a new rule, I can't just add it, but I have to make sure it gets listed in the right order?
4) I don't fully understand what these "chains" are either. I can kind of understand the three main ones, INPUT, FORWARD and OUTPUT. But then ufw seems to have added a lot of other ones. What are those?
5) again on chains, if I add a drop IP to the INPUT chain. From my understanding it prevents it from connecting to you. Do I need to put it in the forward chain also? Or just worry about the input chain to prevent connections to me.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Taskbar Switching On And Off In The Terminal
Jan 6, 2010I am a new Ubuntu user (three months so far on Karmic amd64, and very happy with my new OS). I had to do a force shutdown after a system freeze (while viewing video on my tv - dual display - with vlc). Upon restart, I noticed the network connection icon missing from the taskbar; there was an empty "slot" between the evolution and sound icons so I figured the network icon was simply not appearing correctly.
I right clicked in that empty "slot" and chose to remove from taskbar with the intention of putting it back. After clicking remove, the taskbar started a cycle of constant disappear and reappear (about one second between each). The cycle is too fast to allow navigating in menus but I can access the terminal. Being new and all, I don't know how to configure the taskbar through the terminal... fix my taskbar in the terminal?
Ubuntu :: Hard Drive Switching On And Off?
Jan 13, 2010Recently I noticed my hard drive sounding like it was repeatedly clicking off and then immediately spinning back up. Obviously, this doesn't sound like it is very good for the hard drive, and may be the cause of my computer locking up the other night.
I believe the affected hard drive is a Seagate 1TB SATA drive I bought this past summer, which is connected to the on-board SATA controller (SiLabs, I think?). Here is the dmesg output from when the problem started occurring.
Code:

Ubuntu :: Switching To Lubuntu Via Installing It?
Mar 16, 2010Thinking of uninstalling GNOME/ubuntu-desktop and installing LXDE/lubuntu-desktop in its place. Just a couple of Qs. Got some hunches, just want to confirm/deny them:
* Does LXDE use GDM for login, or something else?
* Installing lubuntu-desktop would uninstall network-manager. Need to reboot if I do this, I take it?
Ubuntu :: 9.10 Keeps Switching To Low Color Depth?
Apr 12, 2010Basically I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an old Acer Aspire 3000 laptop. When I first did the install I observed that the screen color depth was very low so after browsing the forums I ran the latest updates and then everything was perfect.
However after a restart the color depth reverted back to low. I created an xorg.conf file and set the default depth to 24. However no luck. I then set the color depth to 16 in this file and restarted. This time it switched to the 16 bit color depth, however after a restart again it all reverted back! I tried changing the value again but it is now stuck at the low color depth again.
The driver I am using is the updated SIS driver that was provided from Ubuntu for the onboard 661 SIS video card.
Ubuntu :: Will Switching From Desktop Version
May 14, 2010I am looking at switching from the 10.04 desktop version to the netbook remix version.I was wondering the easiest way to do this, and if I will lose all my files in the process.. I have an Acer Aspire One A0532H-2254 10.1" and a lot of Windows wont fit in my smaller screen, which is extremely frustrating.Also, if doing so would cause me to lose all my files, best way to back up about 56 Gigs of movies and music?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Switching Between Two Xorg.conf's?
Jun 6, 2010I've got an i5 Macbook Pro, on which I've got Ubuntu 10.04, which I use 90% of the time (mainly for work).
I've added a few lines to xorg.conf to make the graphic card run cooler and thus get some more battery life. Sometimes, though, I do need full graphic potential, for which I have another xorg.conf prepared without those lines, so I can switch back and forth when I need it.
Currently, to change back and forth, I rename the files accordingly and reboot, which is a pain in the neck. I tried restarting gdm after switching files instead but it didn't quite work (maybe I wasn't doing it correctly).
So, fellow experts, what's the easiest and fastest way to switch between two different X11 config files?
Ubuntu :: Switching Video Cards In 10.04/32?
Jul 17, 2010I set up a Ubuntu machine using the OnBoard video, and it runs OK.
Now, I put a nVidia card in it (2009'ish 512mb), and there is no screen after the BIOS screen.
If I boot off a Live CD, everything is fine, so the card is supported.
How do I get Ubuntu to look for the new card on bootup? Do I have to reinstall? If so, will it wipe out the installed applications and data?
Code:
cd / (this gets you to root)
cd etc
sudo chmod 777 X11 (this permits changing names)
cd X11
sudo chmod 777 xorg.conf.failsafe

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Keyboard Layout Switching In 10.04
Sep 19, 2010A few months ago I upgraded one of my Ubuntu boxes to 10.04.1 and haven't been able to switch keyboard layouts ever since. I have US and Russian Phonetic keyboards and used to be able to switch between them using the keyboard switching panel applet back when I was using Karmic Koala. Now the applet is gone and not even available in the list of applets.
I understand the applet has been removed in the new Ubuntu. But why? And what other means of switching keyboard layouts are available now?
The trouble is that I have never been able to switch layouts without the applet -- none of the keyboard shortcuts I tried under Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts ever worked in any version of Ubuntu. Now I can't even test the Russian layout inside the Layouts tab, i.e. when I select Russian Phonetic and type something in the test box below I keep getting US layout characters.

Oct 14, 2010My old ATI 4850 graphic card died and since everyone keeps saying that Nvidia is the way to go in Linux I got myself a brand spanking new Gainward GeForce GTX 460 "Golden Sample - Goes Like Hell". Yay! Switching from ATI to Nvidia caused me a lot of problems with drivers and crashes though so I decided to reinstall as I have been upgrading Ubuntu for some time now and I guess it couldn't hurt to start from scratch.
This is what my screen looks like:
I don't mind the purple colours in Ubuntu but this is a bit too much
I can still move the mouse pointer around but I cannot do anything except hard reset.
Everything worked just fine with the ATI card and the new card also works 100 % in Windows 7. So far it seems to work without the driver activated but I really would like it to work.
