I currently have Ubuntu 10.04 installed alongside windows 7 and would like to uninstall it so i can use 12.04. Having looked on the net it seems as if it is rather complicated to uninstall without encountering anuy issues.
Does anyone know of an Idiot Proof way of uninstalling without breaking my laptop. Im not that technical when it comes to dealing with Operating systems
Thanks

There is a section called : Upgrading from Ubuntu 11.10 or Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Make backup copy of data you want to save from your existing Ubuntu to the external drive. 2. Prepare new Ubuntu LiveCD.
Boot from new LiveCD and install new Ubuntu instead of old one - Ubuntu installer should have such option.
Then restore yout data from external drive. This is how I would do this.

I'm currently trying to install an oracle server (11g) in a linux container on ubuntu (following this tutorial (http://www2.hawaii.edu/~lipyeow/ics321/2014fall/installoracle11g.html).
When I try to change the file handler with sysctl, the modifications doesn't save into my container. Moreover, when I make the modification in the main ubuntu kernel, it propagates to the containers, so my question is as follow:
How can I modify the file handlers only in my oracle container ?
Thanks.
Try out the Orabuntu-LXC project code. It supports Ubuntu 16.04, 17.04, 17.10 and is purpose-built for running Any Oracle on Any Linux, including Ubuntu Linux. Note that as you probably already know, Oracle Corp does not formally support or certify Oracle on Ubuntu Linux.
As far as you question about the file handlers, some sysctl values can only be set at the LXC host level, and some can be set in the container.

Please note that the step-by-step guides are quite old and that the basic LXC infrastructure together with OpenvSwitch, an LXC-containerized DNS/DHCP, and an optional SCST Linux SAN can all be installed on Ubuntu 16.04, 17.04 and 17.10 with one command:
./anylinux-services.sh
after completion of which all you would need do is download your Oracle database installtion media and install.
I want to install Gitlab on the suse linux OS.
Could some one please suggest me which OS supported Gitlab installer from the available ones on Gitlab site : Ubuntu, Debian and Centos can be used to install Gitlab on Suse linux ?
OS details :
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 4
I'm afraid that Suse is a complete different system. They use a package manager called YaST that won't be compatible with any of the proposed OS on the GitLab website.
Alternatively, you can try installation via Docker (Hopefully your system is 64bits):
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/tree/master/docker
Or the hard way, manually:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/install/installation.md
Or even pop an instance somewhere in the cloud but this would involve some costs.
For all other OSs it has packages to install all the required components, but for SUSE there is no package, so you will have to install all the required components like ruby, redis, mysql and other dependent libs on your own.

Since I found this answer while looking for the installation on SUSE 12 (SP3), there is one of the currently working options (2021).
First, check the version supported on the system, (Gitlab 12.1 in case of SUSE 12 SP3, which corresponds to OpenSUSE 42.3)
After that, get the proper .rpm file using wget.
Install with
sudo EXTERNAL_URL="http://gitlab.my.domain" rpm -ivh path/to/file/filename
That's it. Some Versions of Omnibus for SUSE are supported directly, but it really depends on the host system version.
I am trying to install and configure MonoDevelop on my Oracle VM Virtual Box. The Operating System that running on the VM is RedHat Linux.
With the help of the below link, I have installed the mono-2.10.8 and also I was able to compile and run the sample c# source code on Linux through the shell.
Here
Now, I am trying to install or configure the IDE, please advise me for the good IDEs.
Thanks for your help
Installed Monodeveloper from the below link. I chose the Operating System as CentOS
MonoDevelop
This will also install mono-opt from the home:tpokorra repo
mono-opt is the latest stable version (3.6) on mono available from Mono Project
I found this way much easier for installing mono on redhat / centos 6
Two questions, first question is, I want to start using Linux (the Lubuntu distro) as my operating system. I currently have Windows 7 but I don't want to dual boot or run Lubuntu in a virtual machine (which is what I've been doing).. I want to just uninstall Windows 7 and make Lubuntu my OS. Would I be able to do that with the Lubuntu ISO image file that the developers have on their website?
Second question is, I have a Windows 7 CD (which I used to upgrade from Windows Vista to 7). Once I make Lubuntu my only OS, am I able to switch back to Windows 7 with that CD? Do I just run the installation from the Windows 7 CD?
First question; Yes this is possible, you'll want to burn the ISO to a USB stick, then boot from your USB stick. Lubuntu will have an easy installation wizard from the live USB.
Here's a great guide for it.
Second question; You will not be able to do it directly with that CD, as having Vista as the main OS is a prerequisite for that CD to work. If you have a Vista installation CD laying around, then you can install that first, then do the Win7 upgrade.
I'll answer for you second question. You can do it.
But I not perfectly understood your first question. Would you like download an .iso file and install system from it?
P. S. Sorry for my English
There is no option of uninstalling windows.
Your best option, if you don't want to use windows anymore is to backup all your data and format the drive. The formating can be done via the ubuntu installer.
Steps:
1. backup all your data from the drive(partition) you will be formating
burn the iso to a cd/dvd
insert the cd/dvd into the cd/dvd drive and restart your PC
select boot from cd/dvd (by default the cd booting is on, but you may have to enable it in bios)
install ubuntu(the installation guide will guide you through the process)
enjoy Ubuntu
PS: you may want to consider intstalling ubuntu on another partition, this will enable you to choose the OS when you boot your PC
So I want to compile a Haskell program locally, and then upload it to my EC2 Ubuntu 12.04 (free trial) instance.
My question is, will it work on EC2 if I compile my haskell program on an official Ubuntu 12.04 distribution (say in virtualbox)?
Or do I need exactly the same version of Ubuntu as Amazon is running? Do it have to have the exact same set of updates etc..?
P.S. If yes - where do I get the Amazon's version of Ubuntu?
Thanks!
I do this on a regular basis, it should work just fine. Just make sure you're using the same architecture (32- or 64-bit).
You can get a list of the different Ubuntu AMIs at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EC2StartersGuide
If you are using the official Ubuntu AMIs from https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/, you have the exact same binaries as the official Ubuntu distribution (as long as the architecture is the same: 32-bit or 64-bit). The only difference should be which packages are installed by default (so you might need to install a few extra packages). And as long as both are kept updated, both will also have the exact same set of updates.
Even if you are using AMIs created by someone else, it should still be the same; I believe most Ubuntu AMIs would be created by installing the official Ubuntu distribution.
