Upgrade ubuntu to 12.04

Ubuntu provides the flexibility of upgrading from an older version to a new supported version. You don't need to install it fresh to use  new Ubuntu this guide helps you to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 from an older version.You can directly upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ("Precise Pangolin") from Ubuntu 11.10 ("Oneiric Ocelot") or 10.04 LTS ("Lucid Lynx").

Why upgrade

Why should you upgrade instead of performing a clean install of a supported version? Some don't like to perform new installations when there is a possibility to upgrade. The advantage of this is that you can keep your current configuration without having to change much. This is often the case in production environments where you don't want to lose a machine just because it needs a higher OS version.

Upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 LTS and 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS

Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Desktops 11.10 to 12.04 LTS (Recommended)

You can easily upgrade over the network with the following procedure.

1. Run the Update Manager application from the Unity Dash
2. In Update Manager, click the Settings... button, and enter your password to start the Software Sources application.
3. Select the sub menu Updates from the Software Sources application.
4. Check the "Release upgrade - Show new distribution releases" drop down to make sure "Normal releases" is selected, and change it if otherwise.
5. Close the Software Sources application and return to Update Manager.

8. A message will appear informing you of the availability of the new release.
9. Click Upgrade.
10. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Desktops 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS (Recommended)

Note that the page under https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_to_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS says: "It is generally recommended that users of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS wait until the first point release, due in July, before upgrading." Follow the instructions there if you want to upgrade earlier since the following instructions will probably not work until then.

You can easily upgrade over the network with the following procedure.

1. Open the Update Manager application from the System → Administration menu.
2. In Update Manager, click the Settings... button, and enter your password to start the Software Sources application.
3. Select the sub menu Updates from the Software Sources application.

8. A message will appear informing you of the availability of the new release.
9. Click Upgrade.
10. Follow the on-screen instructions. 

Upgrading Using the Alternate CD/DVD

Use this method if the system being upgraded is not connected to the Internet.

1. Download the alternate installation CD from http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/
2. Burn the ISO to a CD and insert it into the CD-ROM drive of the computer to be upgraded.
   • If the ISO file is on the computer to be upgraded, you could avoid wasting a CD by mounting the ISO as a drive with a command like (please make sure that the path to the iso file in the second command reflects where you file is located in your computer, also the Desktop folder may have a different name if you are using Ubuntu in a language different than English):

     sudo mkdir -p /media/cdrom
     sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom

3. A dialog will be displayed offering you the opportunity to upgrade using that CD.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If the upgrade dialog is not displayed for any reason, you may also run the following command using Alt+F2:

gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade"

Or in Kubuntu run the following command using Alt+F2:

kdesudo "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade"

Upgrading from a Torrent

If you're familiar with torrents and have an ISP that doesn't limit them, you can download the upgrade much more quickly. You'll also be sharing your bandwidth with other Ubuntu users and helping to reduce the load on the servers, which is especially beneficial on release days when the server overload causes problems.

Just visit http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/, and download the appropriate torrent file for the alternate installation CD, found in the list towards the bottom of the page. (It will have a filename like ubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent.) Load it into your BitTorrent client, and after it is done downloading the ISO, follow the alternate CD upgrade instructions.

Detailed instructions in a blog post and in a forum thread.

Ubuntu 12.04 review video

[Solved] Ubuntu 12.04 blinking screen on startup

After installing Ubuntu 12.04 beta version, if you are getting a blinking screen, probably it will be the problem with hardware. it is advised to choose try ubuntu before installing it to check whether the OS is working without any problem.


try the following steps if you are facing this issue. 


nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot in to a black screen or corrupted splash, acpi_osi= to fix lcd backlight and other problems, and noapic and nolapic to work around various ACPI BIOS issues. In this how to I will explain briefly what this is and how to do it. 


nomodeset
The newest kernels have moved the video mode setting into the kernel. So all the programming of the hardware specific clock rates and registers on the video card happen in the kernel rather than in the X driver when the X server starts.. This makes it possible to have high resolution nice looking splash (boot) screens and flicker free transitions from boot splash to login screen. Unfortunately, on some cards this doesnt work properly and you end up with a black screen. Adding the nomodeset parameter instructs the kernel to not load video drivers and use BIOS modes instead until X is loaded. 

Note that this option is sometimes needed for nVidia cards when using the default "nouveau" drivers. Installing proprietary nvidia drivers usually makes this option no longer necessary, so it may not be needed to make this option permanent, just for one boot until you installed the nvidia drivers.

acpi_osi=
This option frequently solves problems with LCD backlight, fan control problems and misreporting of thermal events. What I understand it does (but corrections are welcome), is prevent the kernel from reporting to the bios that its any windows version the bios asks for. By default, the kernel pretends to be all windows versions, that way we are certain the bios executes all the code needed to initialize the hardware. Unfortunately, some bioses contain fixes to fix problems with specific windows versions (notably vista) that arent needed or dont work for other OS's. Setting

Code:

acpi_osi=

(nothing behind the = sign) as boot option makes the kernel not respond to osi queries.

If the bios has provisions for Linux, you can also try

Code:

acpi_osi="Linux"

Or you can try 

Code:

acpi_osi="Windows 2006"

To make the kernel pretend its vista and make the bios execute routines on machines that require them.

acpi=off
This disables ACPI completely. 
Note: this may not work with all computers and will disable a lot of useful (or even needed) features. In some cases it may even disable some crucial features, like.. fans. Be careful with this option, it might cause your machine to overheat if the fans no longer turn. Think of this as a last resort. Also note some machines requireacpi=ht instead.

Noapic and nolapic
noapic and nolapic kernel options instruct the kernel to not use certain programmable interrupt controllers. To understand what that means exactly requires a deep knowledge of PC hardware, I will not go in to that here, Ill limit myself to saying on some bioses, especially for older systems, there are problems in the implementation of this and it may be necessary to disable either or both to cure a wide range of obscure problems, often but not always related to keyboard and mouse and power management (standby/resume issues).

vmalloc=xxxM 
In some cases kernel drivers can not be loaded due to a lack of virtual addressing space on 32 bit systems. Logs will show errors like. 

Code:

allocation failed: out of vmalloc space - use vmalloc=<size> to increase size.

thanks for p4man who explained this here.

Ubuntu 12.04 is now on its final beta

ubuntu 12.04 is here

Here is a good news for ultimate ubuntu lovers. Ubuntu the much avaited 12.04 long term support is now all set to release. now the final beta version of ubuntu 12.04 LTS is available here. 

Ubuntu is all set to go Mobile: Ubuntu for android

This time ubuntu stunned the mobile world by announcing a future concept of carrying a desktop within your very smart android phone.

A full Ubuntu desktop, on your docked Android phone thats what ubuntu desktop for android. which means ubuntu is ready to launch their solution for android phones, which enables a powerful android phone a desktop when docked. a keyboard and mouse duo can also be associated with this andro ubuntu desktop. why  carry two devices when you can do it all with your dual core android phone.

Canonicals words about the new venture. "we’ve brought Android together with Ubuntu, the world’s favourite free operating system, to give you a full productivity desktop that fits in your pocket. Android for the phone experience, Ubuntu for the desktop, all on one device, running at the same time."

 So forget the office PC. Just dock your corporate phone and enjoy Ubuntu. Anywhere. One address book. One set of bookmarks. One place for your text messages and email. No more typing on a tiny screen when all you want is a keyboard and a mouse. Seamless integration of your desktop and mobile worlds. Brilliant.

Users will want at least one dock, complete with monitor, keyboard and mouse. Many will want two of each - one for the office and one for the home. And mobile users will opt for clamshell devices that give them a laptop experience whenever they need it - on the train, on the plane or in meetings.

Desktop productivity goes well beyond the keyboard, monitor and mouse. Imagine projectors with a phone dock built in, so you can carry less to your presentations. And imagine TVs that become home PCs when you dock your phone: perfect for the emerging market where LTE will be the normal way for new users to connect to the Internet.

How to set up a firewall in ubuntu

To protect your computer against unauthorized access by people on the Internet or your network,you can set up a firewall in your ubuntu. Firewalls block connections to your computer from unknown sources, which helps to prevent security breaches. If you use a router to connect to the Internet, the router may already have a firewall configured which regulates connections from the Internet to your network.

following post briefs the set up procedure of firewalls in ubuntu.

Most users will prefer to use Gufw, which is a graphical user interface program to configure UFW(uncomplicated firewall).

Click the below link to install and enable Gufw:

Install the gufw package.

then the below shown dialogue box appears.

click on launch application and agree to install the package.

Now, to start Gufw, choose System → Administration → Firewall configuration

To enable the firewall, simply check the box next to Enabled under “Actual Status”.

The default configuration is to deny connections. This means that a program attempting to connect to your computer will be denied. Certain programs or services which use the internet may require you to add an exception.

To add an exception:

1. Click Add.
2. You can choose from Preconfigured options for common programs and services, or you can manually add port exceptions in the Simple or Advanced tabs.
3. To find out what type of exception a particular program requires, you should consult the help for that program.
