Slackware :: How To Update From 12.2 To 13.0 Without Fresh Install

Jun 13, 2010

I'm not sure how you do it, but it seems like you should be able to. How do you upgrade the version to 13 without burning a new CD? I just used slackpkg update, slackpkg upgrade-all, but when I tried install-new it had nothing to do.

OpenSUSE Install :: Better To Update Current Setup Or Do A Fresh Install Of 11.3?

Jul 31, 2010

I am looking to update from 11.1 to 11.3. My question is would it be better to update my current setup, or do a fresh install of 11.3? I was never able to get 11.2 to install no matter what I tried so I gave up on it and went back to my tried and true 11.1. What is the best way for me to get 11.3 on my computer?

Fedora Installation :: Cannot Update After Fresh Install Of F11

Oct 1, 2009

I recently finished a fresh reinstall of Fedora 11 on my ASUS EeePC 1000HA today. Once I rebooted, it asked for the usual "first time user thing" and I proceeded. After that screen, I was brought to the loging manager, so I logged in, and was presented with my destkop. I fired up the terminal, added myself to the sudoer's file and did a "sudo yum update" but was given the following error (the beginning of the text got cut off due to how lengthy the update list was): [URL].

I just installed Debian 6 & prior to my first update my sound worked fine. But after accepting all the updates based on the repositories below the system can't identify my sound card.

Ubuntu :: Simple Way To Update All Packages After A Fresh Install With No Network?

Mar 1, 2009

I've been kind of spoiled by Slackware, where updating an installation without networking is just a matter of storing all the updated packages somewhere (directory, CD, USB, etc.) and doing a:
Code:
upgradepkg *.tgz
I'm trying to figure out how to achieve similar simplicity on Ubuntu (specifically, Ubuntu 8.10). I know how to update the packages on the live CD itself (and have done it several times), but in this particular case I need to install using the unedited, official CD.

I'm currently looking at this (and will set up a VirtualBox image to try it out), but it seems to me like the actual packages are never even mentioned in the article, only the meta-data. I need to be able to do an apt-get update/upgrade on this box and have it use the updated packages which I will have stored on a mounted filesystem.

CentOS 5 :: Boot Error After Yum Update On Fresh Install

Jul 21, 2011

I have installed Centos 5.6 on a fresh VPS. After install I ran yum update command. After update was finished I noticed a message saying "Your system kernel may have been updated. Current kernel (2.6.18-238.e15) has been changed to : 2.6.18-238.12.1.e15)". When I reboot, I see two boot option in GRUB. one is Centos 5.6 (2.6.18-238.12.1.e15) Default and other is Centos 5.6 (2.6.18-238.e15). When Centos boots from default, it fails with fatal error. But when I boot with other option, the system boots as normal.

I need to know how to resolve this situation. Why yum update results in Kernel update and 2nd option in GRUB boot loader. and why Centos refuses to boot with update Kernel.

Ubuntu Installation :: Acer Laptop Hangs After Fresh Install And First Update / Sort It?

Jun 12, 2010

I just installed 10.04 on an Acer 4736 laptop and was prompted for a software update of about 170 MB.

I went through with the update downloads and installation, got an error message of some packages not being found, and clicked on the "close" button on the dialogue to finish with the whole thing.

Now the Update Manager window with the grayed-out package updates didn't go away, and the cursor would always show the "busy" circle thing. I waited for a while, but nothing happened. I tried opening Firefox to check for anything about this on the net, but it wouldn't open.

So I left it alone, and it the screen went black (screensaver, I guess). When I tried to get back to the desktop, I couldn't. Screen wouldn't respond and it stayed black; no password prompt or anything.

Ctrl-Alt-Backspace wouldn't take me back to the login screen either.

General :: Update A Driver After A Fresh CentOS Installation?

I've been a long time Debian user but now I'm working with Red Hat and I'm a bit lost. I just installed a fresh install of CentOS 5.5 on a new Dell server. Dell provides a current Red Hat 5.5 driver for mpt2sas. How do I install this driver?

The Dell instructions are not that helpful. They explain an RPM Install and a DKMS Install - what's the difference between the two?

OpenSUSE Install :: Fresh Install 11.4 Blocks At Splash Screen On Reboot

Jun 30, 2011

I ordered a SuSE 11.4 installation DVD from an online Linux Distro distributer that I've used before with no problems. I did this rather than burn my own DVD from the website. I thought that I might perform a fresh install of SuSE 11.4 on this Dell 1420 Laptop that is currently running Ubuntu 11.04.

Note, this is a completely fresh install, not a side-by-side installation with Ubuntu; I followed the installation sequence that completely repartitions the entire disk for SuSE, and accepted all of the suggested options regarding logon, etc.

Everything goes well ... sort of. The first install didn't reboot correctly, i.e., the set-up that is supposed to run after the initial install never happened and I had to manually power-down the machine and restart from the "safe mode." Needless to say, that didn't work as expected. So, I re-install, from scratch, trying different options: for instance, instead of LVM, I decide to have an un-encrypted partition scheme and accept the "obvious" options ... thinking that the LVM options interacted badly with the install. Eventually I get the installation to proceed correctly, or so it appears: it goes though the entire sequence, including the re-boot, building the default image, etc.

I test this image by removing the DVD, power-cycling the machine, and all looks good, so I begin the process of installing software updates, etc. Being paranoid, I re-boot the machine, and all restarts correctly, etc.

Now here's the annoying thing. The next day, I power the machine on, and it locks at the splash screen. By the way, these are the exact symptoms that I experienced with the bogus/incomplete installations. The boot sequence proceeds up to the splash screen and waits forever.

So, in sum: I spent inordinate amounts of time attempting to install this software, carefully following the instructions provided by the installer. In every instance, after leaving the machine off for a day or so and rebooting, I am met with a splash screen that sits forever. Needless to say, I am extremely reluctant to repeat another day of software installation to only have to re-start with no assurances of success. Either I go back to ugly Ubuntu (which has always worked out of the box, by the way), or I look at other options. I was hoping to use SuSE, but I really don't care which distro is on that machine as long as it works and it provides TeX, R, Emacs, Scheme, and a few other software packages that I'm sure are of no interest to your customer base.

OpenSUSE Install :: Disable Win 7 Dual Boot And Do A Fresh Install?

Apr 16, 2011

I have been trying to install openSUSE 11.4 on a Windows 7 laptop, but the suggested partitioning sucks and I lack the skills to do it manually. I would like to format the laptop drive, give up Windows for good and do a fresh install of openSUSE 11.4. openSUSE wants me to keep Windows boot. But I do not want it!

I have tried for an hour now. Can't format, there is no options for that in the openSUSE 11.4 install. There are expert options, but I really do not know how many partitions does openSUSE require. For some strange reason openSUSE wants to keep my Windows partitions. WHY? And if I delete all of the partitions, it wont automatically recreate the needed partitions for openSUSE, it only displays errors and won't let me continue.

For the love of God, do I have to open the laptop, remove the hard drive, put it in another computer and format there?

Why isn't there an option for removing all partitions, formatting the drive and installing openSUSE?

How to disable the forced Win 7 dual boot openSUSE offers and do a fresh install with only openSUSE 11.4 WITHOUT ANY WINDOWS DUAL BOOT BS.

By the way, since my laptops internal DVD is broken and I will not repair it until my daughter is old enough to handle optical drives, I use USB DVD and it won't give me any boot options but starts installation right away. This is also strange.

Ubuntu :: No GUI On Fresh 10.04 Install

Nov 6, 2010

I just performed my first (successful?) Ubuntu installation. The installation process seemed to go fine, and I selected "Ubuntu Desktop" when asked which set of packages I wanted to install. I assumed this was a standard choice.

After the installation finished, the system rebooted and brought me to a login prompt.I'll mention at this point that I have SOME prior experience with Linux systems, but I'm by no means an expert, and I'm new to Ubuntu. I logged in and tried startx, only to be informed that it was not installed. Having performed a network install, I have internet access on the machine, so I tried "sudo apt-get install xinit" which seemed to work, but now when I run startx, my window shrinks to a portion of my monitor size, the colours invert (black prompt on a white background) and the system locks up. I'm assuming this is some sort of video driver issue, and could probably explore further, but I figured I'd ask some experts first.

Ubuntu :: Web Links After Fresh Install?

Sep 15, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS i386 on my desktop after not having it on there for while then decided to do a clean install on my laptop, which had 10.04, but I had screwed a few things up on it... (and a fresh install is always nice

Anyway, no big deal, just kinda weird: Whenever I google something that I had just googled before on my desktop (ie, a program or something that I had installed, and wanted to install on my laptop also), the link for the result is purple, as if I had already visited that link. But I know I haven't because this is a completely fresh install, I reformatted and everything. The only thing I can think of is that somehow the history/clicked links got transferred to the live CD from my desktop, as I used the same disc for both installs, but this seems a bit improbable imo.

EDIT: I just realized that I did NOT use the same disc for both installs, I couldn't find the original so I burned the .iso onto another one for my laptop install....

OpenSUSE Install :: Fresh Install Of 11.3 Won't Start

Aug 20, 2010

I downloaded the iso from the webpage and used the live cd option. From there I chose install and proceeded to install the OS. Everything went fine and I got a message that the system would need to restart without the live cd. I saw the chameleon with the white growing line under (which seemed to run to it's completion) and then I came to a screen mostly white with three option buttons in the bottom right corner and my mouse with the waiting symbol spinning in the middle of the screen. Basicly the symbols stops spinning after a little while and the system hangs. I have tried starting in fail safe mode and run level 3 with the same result. My laptop is a MSI GX740

Edit: I have tried both ubuntu and mint earlier today and those Live CDs wouldn't even start. Also I am using the CD size Gnome ISO. Maybe some of the content on the dvd iso would provide support for my HW?
