4llerbuntu: i meant "clean" as in not using the software manager, as in reinstalling the OS where it detects previous installation ( of ubuntu ) and asks you to install it while you keep only your /home folder. Anyways i have a old drive with 15.04, that's why i was kinda concerned.... I already have 16 running, and it's pretty much crisp though. 1 Like 1 Share |

Jregz: What is so good about Fedora? To me, Linux is Linux! |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Toroze(m): 2:02pm On May 02, 2016 |
Fulaman198:Abi....its just a different name with a few customization but under the hood its kinda all the same thing. If its not Debian based its Ubuntu. |

was running metasploit smoothly on kali b4 I switch to Ubuntu recently installed ruby, metasploit and gem bundlers. anytime I run "ruby msfconsole.rb" I get errors about my ruby gems. any1s got same issues as this on Ubuntu OR has any1 successfully installed metasploit and Armitage on Ubuntu 14.04 |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by persius555(m): 5:22pm On May 08, 2016 |
rayralph:The ruby version you installed might be older than 2.1.5. Install newer edition and ensure you download your metasploit directly from rapid 7 github repositry. 1 Like |

Hello Ubuntu, please is there anyone in IB that can possibly help me with 16.04LTS installation file. The file I downloaded isn't installing, its MD5Sum doesn't match that of the 16.04 64bit in the UbuntuHashes site. That's ~1.5GB down the drain, lol.... If you're in IB and can be of help, I can meet up to create the bootable disk on my flashdrive. Thanks. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by samsolite(m): 9:20pm On May 21, 2016 |
FrankLampard: samsolite: Solved! My problem all along has been that Fast Boot is enabled. Now I have Ubuntu 16.04 running alongside Windows 8.1 on my HP650. Thanks to Blackweaver, especially for trying to help. 1 Like 1 Share |

Jregz:in performance is fedora better and what else do you like about it that is not in ubuntu |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Nobody: 1:21am On Jun 14, 2016 |
dabigjoe6: sure but a caveat -- battery drains faster than ubuntu on my laptop though.. It's package manager, DNF is a beast - "data chopper". Things i like - 1.)It actually is more stable than Ubuntu. 2.) Has a Desktop environment quite better than Unity..Fedora uses Gnome. 3.) Truly Opensource notbacked by a "for profit" company -- Ubuntu has this thing that auto sends "dash" inputs to some service, was removed in 16 though. 4.)Fedora ships newer softwares faster , for example my linux kernel is currently at 4.5.6-200.fc23.x86_64, don't know a ubuntu guy that has that. 5.) Ubuntu just makes everything easy and you end up a linux sissy .. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Ubuntu Linux by raynold(m): 1:14am On Jun 15, 2016 |
Jregz:i've been playing around with kali on vmware, and i've finally decided to go for fedora using a usb live image, since am not able to partition my hard disk due to it having five partitions(no install os, just system stuvs, dont konw why o). just want to know your about your experience with it so far. |

Torrent downloads just got easier using offcloud One of the main benefits to users is that they can add torrents from work, school or on the road. After the torrent is downloaded to Offcloud’s server the files can be downloaded to a local computer or synced to Google Drive, Dropbox or an FTP server. Once the files are synced people can access or play the files directly from the cloud, since Dropbox and Google Drive support online streaming for various media formats.

raynold: I feel your pain, recently bought a laptop, first thing i did was remove the os,i don't do secure boot and stuff. Have already put my multiple oses on it. My only mistake was not making a clone of my windows install, now my win is refusing to activate. But i have my Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora and Slackware running |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Beejayw(m): 11:40pm On Jun 26, 2016 |
good evening bosses,please I need ur help,I have been downloading some Linux distribution for sometime now and each time I try to install them I run into one issue or the other,the last Ubuntu I downloaded that is the 15.04 version gave me one apt blah blah at the point of installation meaning I can only run it directly from a usb stick and can't install permanently,I have also tried the mint series too,that one no even gree at all,the little I actually need now is a link to the correct and working Ubuntu version preferably the latest version which I can easily install using flash drive,thanks house in advance,I will be expecting the link |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Beejayw(m): 11:48pm On Jun 26, 2016 |
blackweaver:please can u help with links to both the mint and Ubuntu Thanks in anticipation |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 6:08am On Jun 27, 2016 |
Beejayw: youncan get mint from linuxmint.com and ubuntu from ubuntu.com |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Beejayw(m): 8:43am On Jun 27, 2016 |
blackweaver:boss I downloaded the two I have from their sites,I just need links to the correct ones sir,my processor is 64bit based |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 5:22pm On Jun 27, 2016 |
Beejayw: well when i went to the linuxmint site anc clicked on the download tab, i could see the option for 32bit and 64 bit. Maybe i'm not getting what exactly you want. Same thing for the ubuntu website, once you select desktop download |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Maleeq(m): 7:39am On Jun 29, 2016 |
Guys, I am having an error I cannot seem to wrap around. I got some notification for updates; I did, but it fails with the message below: unable to create `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-91/arch/x86/include/asm/irq_regs.h.dpkg-new' (while processing `./usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-91/arch/x86/include/asm/irq_regs.h'): No space left on device Quick look says "disk full", i run df- h and i still have space on my drives:
Dunno what else to do! I am on Ubuntu 14.04 |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 4:53pm On Jun 29, 2016 |
Maleeq: I know this is probably stupid, but try removing that memory card first. Who knows if it's trying to write something there. If that doesn't work, try booting into recovery mode and do a disk checkup, there might be some corruption on the filesystem |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Maleeq(m): 7:42am On Jun 30, 2016 |
blackweaver: I just tried that....but still the same result! Make una epp mi o!!! |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 10:15am On Jun 30, 2016 |
Maleeq: Maybe you should try freeing some space in your /tmp folder i'm just fishing, i don't really know what the problem is either. By the way can you actually save a file outside your home folder (using root permission of course)? Or you could try to su to root and run the update from the terminal |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Maleeq(m): 4:50pm On Jun 30, 2016 |
blackweaver:Tried it....same results. All the solutions I googled up just ain't working for me! I'd wipe my PC and install XP o! Make una epp mi o!! |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by Maleeq(m): 5:13pm On Jun 30, 2016 |
OK. I think i got it! Apparently, the space left on my /boot partition isn't enough to install the new kernel. I had a bunch of old and unused kernels still installed. The fix was to remove them: 1. run uname -r to get the current linux kernel in use. 2. run dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep linux-image | awk {'print $2'} | grep -v extra to get a listing of all kernels installed. 3. For each kernel in #2 that is not the current Kernel listed in #1, run dpkg --purge linux-image-x.xx.x-xx-generic the x represents the kernel details. 4. run sudo apt-get install -f and you should be fine. |
Re: Ubuntu Linux by blackweaver(m): 10:50am On Jul 01, 2016 |
Maleeq: Har har, didn't see that one coming, and i also felt 141mb should be enough free space for whatever kernel you might have wanted to install |
