Ubuntu :: Way That I Can Download 'upgrade' Cd Or Something?
Jul 6, 2011
Currently I have ubuntu 10.04 on a machine that is not connected to the internet, there is also no way I can get this machine on the net.I do however, have access to a machine that does have an internet connection.Is there a way that I can download an 'upgrade' cd or something? If you download the normal cd it doesn't give you an upgrade option, you have to then install the OS again from scractch. My main concern is to keep all my files and programs when I upgrade.

Is there a way to upgrade Slackware 12.2 to 13.37 without having to download the new iso and making a new install? 'how to' Id like to read it. Or even a simple way to do a minimal install and then add the extra applications.

Was running the upgrade through the manager this morning and the download got about 3/4 of the way and froze up making the system unresponsive I left this for an hour to see if it would resolve its self but no luck so as the installation hadn't begun I hit the power button. BIG mistake now when I try boot to 9.10 it hits a black screen with white ubuntu logo much like 9.10 but no loading bar. it just hangs at this now. I am currently posting this from a live usb I made from an ISO of 10.4 i downloaded on my girl friends windows machine. Is it possible to either fix the 9.10 installation or update the files on the 9.10 installation to 10.4 from the live disk(I have the option to make a 9.10 live disk if needed)?

Running 10.04 tried to upgrade to 10.10. Download ran for 6.5 hours then produced a failure message. Download speed varied all over the place from 30 kbps to 170 kbps but usually well below 100. Speedtest shows about 100 kbps in and out. Is there a way to drop back to 10.04 ad run the 10.10 download from scratch? Attempts to run the download now produce index error messages.

I've ensured that all current 9.10 updates have been installed, then tried to upgrade to 10.04.The message "Unable to download release notes - please check your internet connection" appears.Clearly my internet connection is working.I have had problems with Network Manager in the past (it is less problematic recently - see bug #481432 for details).If so, how do I get the upgrade started?

two days ago I updated my desktop which has only Ubuntu as OS. Following the update, I chose to upgrade to 11.04 because it was offered on the software update window. The upgrade failed at nearly 4 minutes remaining in the download. Problem now is I cannot boot the system. It keeps taking me to Ubuntu flash screen with 5 options. The Ubuntu with Linux generic (whatever) indicates "Cannot open root device "sda1".

I have Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope running on my home PC (dual boot with Win XP) and have received notification that this will no longer be supported and I should upgrade to 11.04. I have a slow and costly internet connection at home and don't want to download the upgrade directly onto my computer there.Is it possible to download the upgrade somewhere else and burn to a CD to run in my home computer? I see I can do this for a new install but was wondering if it is possible for an upgrade?

After burning the DVD of F11 for AMD64, I boot from it. After some choices, instead of going to read from the DVD it connects to the internet and tries to download packages. After some time it fails to read and goes into a loop for trying to read. If I interrupt this and skip the network section, it reports it can't connect to the internet. Why does it want to connect to the internet anyway when I've booted from DVD ? It didn't do that on x86.

i've just upgraded to Natty, and there are lots of 3rd party software sources that were disabled during the upgrade, and i've enabled them again. But then when i try to refresh my update cache, they fail to download. these are the list of software sources that fail to download:
W:Failed to fetch http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu/dist...amd64/Packages 404 Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch http://download.virtualbox.org/virtu...amd64/Packages 404 Not found
, W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/alecive/ant...source/Sources 404 Not Found
[code]....
and now most of these softwares appear in my 'computer janitor' to be removed (which obviously i wouldn't want that..

My internet connectivity is not that fast. Since I am using Squeeze, there will be very frequent updates.
My problem is that I am not able to download all the update in one go and to complete the upgrade. As the number of files to be downloaded and upgraded increases, I can't seem to be able to reach the end point to complete any update.
Can aptitude upgrade just the files that have been downloaded so far, and resume downloading the rest in the next attempt? MS Windows will update the OS with whatever patches downloaded without waiting for the rest if I prematurely shutdown the pc.

I was happily running F10 and against my better judgement when it offered to upgrade me to F11 I decided to give it a try. The F11 install hung at 893 of 1626 packages installed. Some SE Linux package was in process of install. On the next boot the installer fails to upgrade for a corrupted root. It says I can backtrack and do a full install, but crashes with a bug when I choose backtrack.
So here is my question - Can i edit the command line and tell the installer to full install rather than upgrade? Or am I stuck with downloading a DVD ISO and doing a full install that way. I've done F8, F9 and F10 so full install from DVD doesn't bother me.

I want to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04, and Update Manager is telling me that it will take several hours to download 1.5GB of updated packages on my relatively slow connection. Because of the use of the machine, I don't really want to leave it downloading and updating for several hours.
Is there a way that I can download the required packages to a cache, maybe over several sessions, and then separately kick off the installation process once everything is available?
Synaptic has a tickbox to "Download package files only" which does a similar thing to my request for normal package upgrades, but I don't see a tickbox like that in Update Manager when doing a major version upgrade.

I am at a university where my bandwidth is severely capped. I can start several other computers near me and download at the limited speed simultaneously. Is there any way for me to share the download between the computers to get the cumulative speed?

I just installed 11.04, and the software center is almost unusable. I'm currently clocking about 32kb/s on my modern laptop. Does anyone know how to fix this? PS- During install, it took 20 minutes to download the language packs, and it said I would be there close to forever for the update downloads.

Here at home I have several Ubuntu installations, mine, the kids computers and a couple of laptops. What I'm looking for is a solution or a pointer in the right direction to setup on our local Ubuntu server a sort of cache. Each day each Ubuntu on the network, checks for updates and downloads, and installs. What I'm looking for is a way for one machine to download the update and then the others to download from the local resource.
A sort of local cache to try and minimise everyone downloading straight from the net for pretty much the same updates. I did a emerge cache many years ago when I was using Gentoo, so I'm wondering what I can use/do here with Ubuntu as we are all loving this distro now.

First I go to the following URL to download the latest version of VLC Player, which I greatly prefer to Totem or any other standard Linux video/audio player: http://www.fileguru.com/Movie-Player/download. After I click on the "Download" link, a new window appears which asks me if I want to 1) Open with Archive Manager (default) or 2) Save File. There is a drop down arrow next to the first choice which only gives "Other..." as the only other choice. Well, if I choose the first option, the download appears as an .exe file in the "Downloads" window.
A window with "Download Error" in its Title Bar appears with the following message in it: "/tmp/VLC_Player_Setup-3.exe could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." I don't even know yet how to even open up an .exe file in Linux, despite repeated research.

I keep getting the following msg as I try to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report." I don't think any of the issues above apply - can anyone offer advice on how to get around or "force " the upgrade
