Every time I use Update Manager it tries to update a program that I don't want to be updated because the older version has a option that the new one don't have. How would I remove the application from the list to update?

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Update Consistently Screws Up Programs

May 16, 2010

Every time 10.04 updates I find that two of my programs - boinc and CUPS - get de-configured and must be either reconfigured, or re-installed to make them work. While the fix itself is easy, it is an inconvenience to have to do this after every weekly update. Why this is happening, what I can do to prevent it from occurring in the future (aside from not updating).

Ubuntu :: Update Programs In Older Versions?

Jun 7, 2010

I'm sorry if this is recurring subject, but I have searched the forum for such a subject and can't find one.I'm using Xubuntu 8.10, I'd like to update my programs to the latest releases, but the available updates in 8.10 versions are not the newest ones. I can't upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu due to some known issues with older Intel drivers.

Is it possible to have the latest updates of packages while I still using 8.10 version?

Ubuntu :: Add / Remove Programs And Update Manager - Similar Error

Apr 30, 2010

In both of these areas, when I actually go to "Install" the things, whether it be adding or removing programs, or doing the Update Manager, I get the same error as soon as I click "Install," and it fails to install any selected programs/updates.

Here is the following error:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I have not been able to find this "sudo dpkg" file to manually run.

Ubuntu :: Files Are Erased By Windows?

Oct 13, 2010

So I downloaded a bunch of study notes to my shared partition in Ubuntu. When I logged in on Windows 7 though, they weren't there. Logging back in Ubuntu also shows none of the study notes.

What are the possible causes of this?

OpenSUSE :: Update On 11.1 System Broke Multiple Programs?

Nov 6, 2010

I have 11.1 on a computer. I updated it yesterday. Now K3B, VLC, and XDVDShrink are all broken. Possibly other programs broken as well. VLC refuses to uninstall via Yast. These are high-priority programs for this computer. Multiple people use this computer for multimedia and there is not much to entertain ourselves with in our very cold climate. In other words, it is mandatory that K3B, VLC and XDVDShrink return to operational status.

Should I just upgrade to 11.3, try to fix the broken 11.1? I prefer using KDE3, not KDE4, but I can sacrifice.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade To 11.04 Erased My Fstab

May 13, 2011

I've been using Ubuntu since 7.04 and I've never had this happen. I was at 10.04 and I downloaded the torrent iso of 11.04 and burned it to a CD and used that to upgrade. I don't know if that was the problem, but doing the upgrade that way erased my fstab. When I tried to recreate it, I was getting errors mapping to the fileshares. Turned out the upgrade uninstalled cifs/smbfs as well. In addition to uninstalling wine. After reinstalling, everything is ok.... so far. This was NOT the smoothest upgrade.

OpenSUSE :: KDE Erased Plasmoids On Desktop?

Oct 20, 2010

I've just logged in to the desktop and I can't see my old desktop background picture and the plasmoids which were on it (clock, folder view). As far as I can tell nothing in my system has changed.

I'm using KDE 4.5.2 version 9 and been using it since it was released in the KDE stable repo. My system is openSUSE 11.3 upgraded from 11.2 32 bit. I don't have any other non standard repositories except for the KDE stable repo.

Fedora :: Update Upsets Graphic Settings And Prevents Programs Running?

Sep 3, 2010

I fired up my PC this morning and not unusually got an update message. I updated all that I was instructed to, as per normal - and at the end of the update was told that I'd need to restart to effect changes. I was in the middle of something else at the time so I left it but I turned the PC off an hour or so later and left it.

On starting up again I cannot get my previous resolution (1600 x 1200) and Second Life resolutely refuses to run giving a "Window creation error". Trying to change the display settings from the System> Administration menu just stops: It asks for the root PW and then nothing happens

Clearly something's gone a bit pear shaped here. I'm using Fedora 12 wth a PAE kernel and on an AMD 5200 chip with an nvidia 7900GS card. Things worked fine until this update so I strongly suspect that to be the cause but what can I do to fix it? Is there any way to "roll back" the update somehow or is there a fix?

Ubuntu :: 'erased All Data On Entire Disk' With Gparted From LiveCD

Jan 23, 2011

I deleted my hd from an ubuntu 10.10 liveCD system by trying to create a new partition table with gparted. I just wanted to restore the partition table and clicked on "create partition table"apply.Now the hole hd is an unallocated file system, so without any partitions. There had been 3 ext4 partitions.

Because I did it from an liveCD, all data should be save? Is there a way to search for partitions on the hard disk and get a new old partition table and write it to the mbr?I searched a lot already (with a very slow mobile internet connection)..

Ubuntu :: Half Erased Partition - Need To Restore Quicken File

Mar 20, 2011

I have a HP DV9000 laptop. The second hard drive bay doesn't support SATA II devices. I was cloning the original hard drive to the newer SATA II hard drive I purchased two swap them because bay 1 does support SATA II devices. I decided to use

Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
to get the job done. I double/triple checked my command with fdisk -l, but my dyslexia got the better of me. I should have ran
Code:
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda
....

I stopped the command about 1/2 hour in, it is a 160GB hdd. I tried using foremost to recover all of the files that hadn't been written over yet, but it can't recover Quicken filetypes. The ONLY thing I need off of this drive is the Quicken database. TL;DR I need to recover a quicken database file off my corrupted partition. What program can I use?

Fedora :: Entire HDD Erased At The Beginning Of Installation?

Mar 3, 2010

I just tried installing Fedora 12 and at the beggining of the install i got this message about my disk which cannot be read until it is initialized, and if i initialize it all data on the disk will be lost. Disk was formated using GUID, and had one HFS+ partition on it. I accidentaly clicked "yes" on that error message, and after realising what I just did (some 2sec later) i pulled out my computer's power cord out.

Now my entire disk is erased, it has no partitions on it, and all data is lost...

How do i retrieve my data from the erased disk, and why did Fedora want to do this to my disk?

General :: Formatted HDD - Erased XP - Installed Backtrack 4

Apr 8, 2010

In what started as a quest to get free wifi, I have recently gotten in way over my head. After unsuccesfully trying to use a virtual drive, I decided to erase my HDD on my laptop completely, wiping out my Windows XP and installed Backtrack 4 in it's place.

My goal amongst others, was to create a 20% partition for Backtrack and run XP on the rest of it. Well, I couldn't figure out how to do it. My only option was format and install backtrack.

So now I'm typing on my iPhone cuz I know absolutely nothing about Linux or how it works. My computer has no Internet. It doesn't recognize my Ethernet NIC, my wireless card and probably alot of other stuff.

SO ANYWAYS I don't want to give up. I'm ready to learn. I guess the first order of business is to get my Ethernet Card working so I don't have to type on this damn phone. So how do I do it?

Here is the hardware list:

General :: Programs No Longer Showing In Task Bar - System Running Much Slower After Update

Apr 26, 2011

using mint 10, now after updates my system is barely working. The programs were no longer showing in the task bar, and the system was running much slower.

[code]...

This repeated over and over again. My temperature was never to high 40-55, and I found a suggestion to update my kernel to 2.6.37-020637. After doing so there is no longer the thermal limit exceeded error but the computer is still running poorly. The system is slow and again no programs are showing up in the task bar when open.

OpenSUSE Install :: Upgrade Erased /home/ Directory?

May 14, 2010

I have just followed the instructions here: Upgrade/Supported - openSUSE to upgrade from version 11.1 to 11.2. When it was upgrading the system, by using: It had problems with a couple of rpms (one oppenofice extras and the other i cant remember). I went away for a moment and when i returned the computer was blocked. I whaited to no avail. I pushed the power button and turned of the PC. I started it again, and in the boot menu it still said version 11.1, but the background was not that of 11.1, but that of 11.2. I booted but did not started X windows, worse still my /home/ directory is empty!

General :: Erased /home/root And Now Can Not Administer The System?

Jan 10, 2010

I am operating Debian 5.0 kernel 2.26. In trying to clean up (I believe I was using a root terminal), I erased the directory /home/root. Since I have done that, I can not get to a root terminal, can not use synapse and a host of other administrative processed.

Now, when I boot the system, I can log in as a user (my version of Debian does not allow me to login as the administrator). Then, logged in as the user, I previously could select for example 'synapse', I would be given a screen to enter the Administrator password and then get synapse. Now, I am given the screen to enter the Administrator password, but once I enter it, I do not get synapse. I do get an error message
'can not find /home/root/.synapse' And of course, I erased the /home/root directory. Now I might just mkdir /home/root - except to do that I need a root terminal and I can not get that either - probably for the same reason.

I have tried using the boot disk and going to the rescue mode - except for some reason I can not mount a root directory. I believe it is because I am using LVM2 and my root directory must be in an LVM volume, but I can not figure out how to get to that using the rescue mode.

General :: Filename Beginning With Left Bracket: File Cannot Be Erased

Nov 28, 2010

Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0

I saved a page from Linuxquestions. It was saved under a filename beginning with '[' (left square bracket). And I now can't delete the file. Unfortunately I cannot send you a screenshot because opening a terminal in the GUI makes ls behave differently. I shall try to describe, assuming the file is in dir '.'. Also let '[SOLVED]foo.html' be the file in question:

Code:
$ ls
<the file is listed>
$ ls [*
/bin/ls: cannot access [*: No such file or directory
$

If I want the hdd to get rid of this file, what should I do? Any hint will be welcome.
