Ouch, didn't realize that. I guess I'll look into some other desktop environments *before* upgrading!

I attempted to upgrade from 11.04 Natty to 11.10 Oneiric today, and discovered that I would be forced to lose some important packages, such as gnome-panel and tsclient. How can I upgrade without...

Thanks, jbelmonte. "Don't do it, it's a trap!" seems to sum it up pretty well. :-)

This morning I was greeted with Update Manager suggesting I do a "partial upgrade". I accepted, and was presented with this:

Ack, sorry about that. It was a while ago, but I believe I finally created new keys. Not ideal, but it worked.

I grabbed the latest from here:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/amd64/gnome/1:2.28+1ubuntu3

and used this script to alter the .deb:

From the bug thread:



It sounds like a fix has been committed, but not yet released to the repos.

Once you've installed Proposed updates, you can't really go back cleanly, right?

I'm sure I would have found out very quickly after the blacklist file was released.

I always Sync the disks after Exiting and Interrupting all processes:

REISUB

Jozza The Wick,

Try shining a flashlight at an acute angle into the screen -- you might be able to see very faint graphics. If this is the case, your backlight is probably dead.

The fact that...

Well, there's your problem. Look around in the output more:



Well, try accessing that file! Can you open it? Try reading it as root instead.

I generally do my backups as root, because I...

Does rsync complain about "not being able to stat all files" or something like that? If so, it will not go into the delete phase. Try piping the output to a log file, like so:

rsync blah blah blah...

I usually have pretty good google-fu, but it apparently failed me on this one. I think it is because there are so damn many sound problems in Ubuntu -- all I was getting was noise, no signal. (Pardon...

Brilliant! It worked immediately! Thank you so much.

I believe that it has something to do with old and new formats. ssh-keygen won't recognize my old keys (insists on having a passphrase), but I can generate new ones that work. I think I just need to...

I have a Pangolin Performance (panp4i) that had working sound in Intrepid. I upgraded to Karmic, and while sound worked fine in the LiveCD, it no longer works in my installed version. Unfortunately,...

Well, I recently had the opportunity to upgrade my system again, this time laying down an encrypted partition and putting Karmic into it. I found that the corruption bug is still there! I was unable...

Sorry for the late reply, I've only just now been able to upgrade Intrepid -> Karmic.

So... no, it doesn't help. Sure, it keeps the Gnome agent from popping up, but ssh still asks for my...

I reburned the LiveCD on another machine entirely, and when I boot my laptop from it, the integrity check works. So, the optical drive must be bad. I'll email you at the support address.

I had to re-enable auto-running of programs for blank CDs in the Media Handling tab of the File Management preferences window, but yes, that's the same interface I see when using "Write to Disc" in...

Using 8.10. Not sure what I used... I right-clicked the .iso and selected "Write to Disk", which I suppose is Nautilus.

I'm preparing to reformat my panp4i and lay down Ubuntu Karmic over an encrypted partition, but I can't get the installer disk to burn properly:


Torrented the alternate installer ISO
Verified...

Yep, on my panp4i. I'm still running Intrepid because of it.

No, the *bug* isn't available in 32-bit.
