I am attempting to update my Ubuntu Natty Narwhal (11.04) to Precise Pangolin (12.04). When I checked the Update Manager, I was told I couldn't do that. I had to get to 11.10 first, if I want it safely. Sounds like a plan.
And so I've ran through the Update Manager who keeps giving me 404 on the "Setting New Software Channels" like this:
W:Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric-security/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.24 80]
And there wre a lot of that!
No, I do not want the latest Ubuntu yet, though. Not even Lubuntu. Please, I just want to find out how to download a specific version of the package, or if it's even possible. I kinda imagine a command-line text where I can attach the URL of the Ubuntu distribution I want. And then update the one I have.
I know both Natty and Precise are EOL distributions, so I understand it would be difficult.
Thank you folks!
You can download the hardware specific package of ubuntu 12.04 directly
http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/
or

There is no such option in the standard installation medium.

I am currently running emacs on Gentoo linux. My intention was to use all-the-icons ivy (I also downloaded all-the-icons-ivy). Unfortunately, all the icons come out confusing.
I have already run all-the-icons-install-fonts, per the wiki instructions. Does anyone know what is happening?
You may lack the fonts for all-the-icons.
The all-the-icons documentation recommends installing the fonts by running this command in Emacs:
M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts.
Alternatively, you can try installing the fonts using the package manager for your OS. For Gentoo, there's a package for all-the-icons here.
I ran into a similar issue on an Arch based distro, and was able to resolve it by installing all-the-iconts. For those using Arch based distros, the package can be found here.
I'm trying to download the Debian Neo4j version from a Window 7 machine. I'm not managing to find the URL in order to download the package/file . I have installed the GOW software for some linux commands.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Update
I found this link - https://neo4j.com/download/other-releases/ . Know I need to figure out what is the best file to download in order to install it on an Ubuntu Machine
You've got two options :
If you've got access to the package repository (from your Ubuntu machine), follow the information in https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/installation/linux/debian/ to install it as a package. That's the best option which also provides start/stop scripts, a user that runs Neo4j (neo4j) and also allows for easier upgrades.
If you can not reach the internet from your Ubuntu machine (as could be deduced from the way you're trying to do it, the zip (or tar.gz for Linux) download is the way to go. You can find that at http://info.neo4j.com/download-thanks.html?edition=community&release=3.2.3&flavour=unix
Hope this helps.

I want to install Linux Tails. I already added ppa:tails-team/tails-installer to my sources, but when my Ubuntu Software Center tries to download the repository information, I get this error:
W:Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/tails-team/tails-installer/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages
404 Not Found , W:Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/tails-team/tails-installer/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages
404 Not Found , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been
ignored, or old ones used instead.
I am using ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
If you follow the link up to tails-installer/ubuntu/dists/ you can see that "trusty" is missing.
Any idea on what to do? Should I just wait?
I just got an answer from the Tails support team saying that you will need to download the Tails installer packages from ubuntu 15.10, although I was using ubuntu 14.04.
Works now.
I have Linux Mint in my home computer and I'm about to install Debian Jessie in my work computer. I have dealt with Debian before and many packages that are available in Ubuntu repositories by default aren't available for Debian. As someone who needs all those packages I was wondering what would be the correct way of installing them on Debian.
The first thought that came to me was adding Ubuntu sources to sources.list, but I read some things and apparently people do not recommend this.
Since I have to install many of these packages, I also would like to avoid having to install them from source one-by-one.
What would be the preferred way to do this task?
Thank you.
I'm don't think you can install them from the repos if you don't want to add sources in sources.list.
If we are talking about reasonably small number of packages (say 10) I would recommend checking if .deb packages exist on the home pages.
For example:
http://pkgs.org/download/ipython
This is much easier than installing from source. It's not fully automated solution, but for smaller number of packages you can do it.
I hope it helps.
I'm trying to install the ia32-lib on my mac leopard osx 10.5.8 in order to be able to create some Android components like the SD card, the issue is that i get the following error:
E: Couldn't find package ia32-libs
so i thought it was an update issue and thus updated with:
sudo apt-get update
But still i get the same error,
another thing that i have noticed is that by running a cache scan like:
sudo apt-cache search ia32-libs
Nothing is returned, so the update actually did not fetch this library,
Have you ever experienced this? have some hints?
Unfortunately by looking around the web i have only found hints for Debian and Ubuntu.
Thank you,
OK:
1) You've got two threads open on the same question:
Hard time installing ia32-lib on mac osx
Android: Failed to create SD card
2) More to the point, I honestly think you're barking up the wrong tree.
I don't think you somehow need to get ia32-libs installed on Mac OSX. Heck, I don't even know if there is an ia32-libs for Mac OSX. Yes, It's necessary on some 64-bit Linux platforms. AFAIK, it is not necessary on 64-bit Mac OSX. Honest!
