  2. upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06

    in Linux & Unix

    Posted

    If you really want to use the gaim beta I would suggest upgrading to "dapper drake" as the package is built for it.

    CAUTION THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COULD POSSIBLY RENDER THE OPERATING SYSTEM USELESS:

    That being said, iv' tried this method on a laptop running 5.04 to 5.10 and a virtual machine going from 5.10 to 6.06.

    Step 1: Back up your sources.list.

    sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old

    Step 2: Edit it and change every instance of breezy to dapper so..

    from

    #deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)]/ breezy main restricted

    Step 3: Update all packages.

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get -y upgrade

    (this step may or may not be nessecary but this is what I used.)

    sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade

    This could take quite some time to complete depending on your hardware.

    If everthing went well you should be able to reboot into "dapper drake", I will say again this is not a well tested method, use at your own risk.

    If you dont know who the rapper is then dont talk.

    Biggie Smallz = Notorious B.I.G, who died in 1997 (I think).

    I know most of yall don't like rap, but damn, at least have some respect for the people who passed away..

    To the OP:

    I'm guessing your playing Getting Up (mark echo)..hows the game? I heard it was good..

    Why should I respect a worthless drug dealing ex-con turned rapper that was considered a suspect in the murder of another rapper. I have no respect for that type of trash. Just because they are popular with some people doesn't make them great. He chose his life and death. That boy had a good mother who provided him with a good life and he chose to go down a bad path. :angry2:

    You should keep your mouth shut about things you know nothing about.

    no, but wouldn't that be similar to the asus software I am already using? I wonder why their is a 15 degree difference beteen the readings my bio give and the asus software.

    The systems with temp sensors I've dealt with always gave a higher reading in setup, I think the bios setup runs cpu at a higher load (just a guess). But I do know not all sensors give particularly accurate readings.

    Open sources.list again, there should be a line like

    deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.04 _Hoary Hedgehog_ - Release i386 (20050407)]/ hoary main restricted

    . that tells apt to look for a cd, add a # at the beggining of that line to comment it out, then run tictoc's commands again.

    EDIT:

    As long as you have the user password your ok, sudo only elevates you to root for the command run with it ie: sudo gedit runs gedit as root. Ubuntu disables root logins by default IIRC.

    Thats a binary installer, open a root terminal and just run 

    /home/nieko03/Desktop/RealPlayer10GOLD-1.bin

    , if you get an error try 

    chmod +x /home/nieko03/Desktop/RealPlayer10GOLD-1.bin

    then try running again.

    Real Player may be available through your distros packaging system, what do you use?

    now what will this do? do i need this service on?

    your probaly getting the irwbalance OK at boot because th eprocess was statrted, then see it fail later because it's not doing anything..

    try services irqbalance stop

    It seems only necessary for smp systems.

    I'm fairly sure they do (in fact I am sure jstudio does), I just haven't learned anything about gui's yet (first semester java class). Both are free but require registering to download. Also on the sun developer network downloads page they have three IDE's I believe (jstudio, creator and studio 11).

    Is the compiler in Java 1.5 mode? It looks like it isn't autoboxing the int.

    Must not be, I can compile this:

    public class test
    {
    		public static void main(String[] args)
    		{
    				int output = 9;
    				System.out.printf("the Sum of your numbers = %d\n",output);
    		}
    }

    fine with 1.5(sun), but not with 1.4(blackdown).

    There's no simple way to return multiple values. The easy solution would be to return an int[2] containing the indices.

    Ill look into that, what I initially wanted was to have the method ONLY search the array, pass the indices back to main to be passed to another method to change the value of the location. What I decided to do (at least for now) is pass the array to the method have it find and change the value and return the array, I dont know if this is an efficient way to do it but it works.

    Hello,

    I am trying to write a method that returns the index of a two dimensional array, I want to pass the array to the method and have it return the indices of a specific value. I am unclear if it is possible to return multple values (int's in my case) or if there is a better way. I know I can simply put the search algorithm in main, but Im trying to stick to a modular design (might as well get into the habit now). Any suggestions are well appreciated, thank you.
