Give the above a shot.

When I google search the same thing, i never get the "-d"; the sites always say that it's a development release/beta/alpha.

Could you post your/etc/apt/sources.list file? Unless I missed it in a...

I'm sorry you're having all the issues, but to be fair, you did try to update to a development release; you mentioned a site where you grabbed the info. What website said to use the "-d" option?

Hmm... I would suggest that you try and make sure everything is updated via
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade, maybe then reboot just in case it's needed and try the release upgrade...

It's not
sudo do-release-upgrade -d, the correct command is
sudo do-release-upgrade.

The "-d" option is for development releases, so you should avoid using it. I imagine it wont work anymore...

Hi all,

I am having some difficulty understanding how grub would work in my scenario with a GPT disk & LVM.

Install "unrar", then try to extract the .rar file.

Navigate to: System -> Administration -> Software Sources.

Then go to the "Updates" tab, and under the "Automatic Updates" section, make sure that "Download all updates in the background" is...

Hi OP,

I install the official NVIDIA driver all the time at home and work, and here is how I do it:


Install build-essential (tools to build packages/compile/etc)
Install xserver-xorg-dev...

To the OP:

I am currently teaching myself C++ and I am using Netbeans as my IDE. It helps a lot, as your main focus is writing good code and the IDE assists with compiling/linking.

Eclipse was...

Well, I solved it in the best way; looked around the office and got myself a NVIDIA card. I have hated ATI for as long as I can remember because of issues, and this is just another fun fact for me to...

Hi all,

I have excessive screen tearing in WoW (in WINE). I have attached four screenshots, and my /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I am running WoW in OpenGL mode. I am also using two identical Dell monitors...

Right now, it's the latest version of NetBeans (6.5) as it's not in the repos, but I'd like to know in general, as I've had this issue in the past.

Looks like that's just for source packages, but thanks.

Hi all,

Is there a way to convert a .sh file to a .deb? Or any other way to have Ubuntu's package manager see the installation of the app?

I'm wondering if checkinstall may be able to help, but...

hmm, that actually is a very good idea, should've thought of that! :D

Weird, when searching specifically for GeForce 8800M GTX drivers on the NVIDIA site, I get the link for the 169.12 drivers. But I see that the link you provided also supports the GeForce 8800M GTX. I...

Those drivers are desktop GPU drivers, not laptop GPU drivers.

Also, this knowledgebase article does not inspire confidence that NVIDIA laptop drivers will be released again...
