Ughhhhhh. I'm trying to build Android source so I installed Ubuntu 12.04. Found out that there are issues with that so I installed 11.10. Finally finished setting everything up and downloading the files only to get an error about being on a 32-bit processor. I knew that it required 64-bit but somehow forgot to make sure I had downloaded a 64-bit version. So now I'm looking around for a 64-bit version but I can only seem to find it for AMD processors. Is there a 64-bit version of 11.10 for i386?

Sorry I wasn't more specific, it was late and I was frustrated after spending all day trying to get everything setup. The processor is an Intel Q6600. The fact that all the builds were called AMD64 and not x64 is what threw me off. I have it installing now. Thanks for the help guys.

So I'm teaching myself how to use linux using Ubuntu, and I was just browsing through the free and open thread in GBS when this was posted regarding linux:Jailbrekr posted:And please, for the love of Pete, run it in a VM with snapshotting enabled if you are just starting to learn. Until you have a basic grab of how linux patching and security works you run the very real risk of it becoming someones ssh/http proxy. Is this something to really worry about? Are there any settings I should adjust in order to protect myself?

Maybe he doesn't want anybody running off and setting up some unsecured web server. Of course, if you install an ssh server or any outward-facing server, make sure you use a very secure password (or disable password auth).

The only network-related changes I've done is open up port 64738 for murmur, and I've got that forwarded via my lovely home router(Netgear WNR2000v2). I've been browsing this thread on and off, too.

Is there some way to make windows like Terminal, "Home Folder", and System Monitor not start with their top left coordinate = 0,0? Whenever I launch terminal or a nautilus window it collapses the... taskbar (? the thing with the start menu, all the running apps, etc) even if there isn't another application on the entire desktop. It gets annoying to have to drag every window so the bar pops back out and is usable. For posterity: After my upgrade the first autologin worked great but then I rebooted and I couldn't log in any more. The greeter would take my password the screen would turn black for a couple seconds and I'd be back at the greeter. Turns out I didn't have the ubuntu-desktop meta package installed, so I installed it over ssh, which brought a handful of other packages and fixed the problem.

Installed Pangolin on friday night. Now I have the following issues: 1) Random logouts where it dumps me back to the Ubuntu login screen, losing any open work as it does so. 2) No power button in top right. (hard button still brings up shut down dialog) 3) No volume button in top right. 4) No apps listed in dash. unless its already in the dock, I can't get to it. This includes Terminal. Unable to install anything from the ubuntu app store as the permission dialog appears and disappears instantly. 5) Flash is super crashy in firefox, but can't install any variations, as above. 6) Video played through the video player is blue tinted. I presume a lot of this could be down to my nVidia card, going by discussions in here. How can I fix this, without access to the terminal? CTRL-ALT-F5 just gives me a dead screen. Tried to fix using dpkg in the boot menu, but to no avail. I get some info about out of date for unity lens??? Otherwise 12.04 has been just PEACHY.

How about just installing the ubuntu-desktop package? I ran into some issues myself updating from Xubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 that may have been related to metapackages, but I was eventually able to push through the trouble with apt-get over ssh. Wish I could say for sure that is the same kind of issue you're running into, but it may not be related.

Run command from the dash does not work. HELP.

Heid the Ball posted:Yup If it involved the apt-get upgrade command something probably broke for good reason. apt-get upgrade will not remove/add packages as dependencies change with newer versions (this is most likely how you end up without various metapackages). apt-get dist-upgrade does the more reasonable thing (and if you're following a beta or similar you should be using it anyway). If you did apt-get upgrade after a non-real upgrade (eg manual changing the entries in sources.list rather than running update manager) then things would be pretty broken. do-release-upgrade is your friend.

Not sure how it happened, except that X started crashing after apt-get dist upgrade and reboot. Even though I use this as a headless personal server, I've got a desktop distro installed because tell myself I need a graphical environment to remote into as a fallback(training wheels, by any other name). Pretty sure I didn't uninstall any default software. In the end, there are some still some screwy things going on with the server (some feel like permissions, but Samba performance took a nosedive as well) so I will flatten and reinstall once I get the time. Disappointing, but not too surprising from a desktop *buntu being upgraded, in my limited experience.

Seeing all this talk about issues with 12.04 LTS has scared little 'ol me into seriously considering just keeping this new tower I cobbled together on 11.10 until the first point release comes out. It boots, wifi works, and it doesn't look like it's going to explode anytime soon so why tempt fate, right?

Even though I use this as a headless personal server, I've got a desktop distro installed because tell myself I need a graphical environment to remote into as a fallback(training wheels, by any other name). I've upgraded many times and never had any issues that were due to the upgrade itself. I've even survived an upgrade that got interrupted by a reboot midway through, I was able to continue the upgrade after the system restarted. If you're up for it you can trawl the various /var/log/apt/history.log files for when you lost your xubuntu-desktop. Something like code:

Whenever I launch terminal or a nautilus window it collapses the... taskbar (? the thing with the start menu, all the running apps, etc) even if there isn't another application on the entire desktop. I was still running an old theme, which I had switched to when Shuttleworth said "Let's put all the buttons on the left!". I switched my Unity 2D theme (System Settings -> Appearance -> Theme) to the default and now new windows start to the right of the launcher bar. Oddly they now all stack up one titlebar-height on top of each other until I move one then one launches on the right side then go back to starting at the top of the screen. Also after a year now I've just realized the "Recently launched" app list doesn't contain an app if that app was last launched from recently launched and is still running. Want two terminal windows? Sorry, you can only launch one from the recent launch, then type Terminal to get a second instance. My head swims to ponder the requirements document for this. I imagine a use case with a user actor with a lot of question marks over its head.

I'm thinking of finally dual-booting this release, rather than playing around with it in Virtualbox. The one thing I'm wondering before I go ahead with it is why 32-bit is still the recommended version. Is it mainly to prevent the technically inexperienced from downloading something that might not work with their architecture, or are there still major compatibility issues with 64-bit?

Upgraded my work computer from 11.10 to 12.04 without a hitch. Thank god 'cause this is the first time I've successfully used the upgrade tool without my system getting hosed in some fashion (granted, the last time I used the upgrade tool was in the pre-6.10 days) I love that they fixed some Unity usability issues with dual monitors, but I've noticed that the graphics seem to be a little more sluggish than 11.10 (I'm running 2 monitors each at 1920x1200.) In 11.10, I've had to add the ubuntu-x-swat PPA with newer nvidia drivers to fix graphic "smoothness" issues. The same PPA doesn't seem to be helping in 12.04 Edit: Random small note.. I love the choice of default wallpapers that the artwork team has been choosing ever since the shift in Ubuntu's design paradigm. krnhotwings fucked around with this message at 03:48 on May 1, 2012 |

Does anyone know if wireless drivers would have been improved in 12.04? Last night I hosed around for like 2 hours trying to get the broadcom-sta driver to work with the broadcom 4313 network adapter on my laptop but gave up after a while. This was still on Kubuntu 11.04, so not sure whether upgrading will do anything.

I still don't care for unity. Xubuntu updated and I'm running that with decent results. Since there is now a working pcoip client for Ubuntu, I made a base build for some aging laptops and basically made zero clients out of them, captured an image with clonezilla and done.
