If you are still trying to use Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy, and are trying to get updates from Ubuntu Repositiories, you must use this URL in the /etc/apt/sources.lst:
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy

I hope this helps those of us trying to use old Ubuntu versions today.

Ok, I fixed the text editor problem. For those of you using the vi text editor, which if you follow this guide exactly your are hence the vi command. This is a nice site that explains its command. “http://www.cs.rit.edu/~cslab/vi.html#A1.1″ It tells you how to everything you need for this nice tutorial. Now I’m still on the problem of what IP address I should use. Should I use the one that I use to connect to my router or what? All help appreciated.

Never mind, I just made 3 partions. One with ext3 on mount point /boot, the other is a swap file. And the last is just free space. Now I’m stuck at the internet config part. I’m pretty newbish at linux bash commands, but it says the first two lines like the image. “auto etho0 and ip static or whatever.” Then it has blue “~”?! How do I drop down a line and then what is the command to save it? Sorry for being such a newb?

I’m having a partitioning problem. I’ve never installed a server version of Ubuntu, but have installed desktop versions before. When I manually partion it into a 50 GB partion and follow the onscreen instructions. I make the mount point /boot. But it gives me an error message saying, “No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu.”
I then looked at the images and noticed that the “Mount options” was set to relatime. My option list however does not say default. Could this be the problem? Or is it something else?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey you know that if you have only 128mb ram and want to install the lamp ubuntu edgy 6.10, you can configure the boot option and where it says 168020 or something for ram, just edit the 6 into a 2. So then you can install it. =]

My problem “temporary failure resolving” solved now.

I just edit nameserver in “etc/resolv.conf” from “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” to my ip gateway.

Now update on processing.

By: Jimbo

Jimbo — Wed, 02 May 2007 17:11:56 +0000

When I used
sudo apt-get update

“temporary failure resolving” appears row by row

“reading package list …..done”
“w: some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones uses instead”

Whats wrong, I checked connection with ping and success.

A very thorough guide (and very much needed!) Bookmarked as I know I’ll keep coming back.

I suppose it’s not a major problem but a not expected phenomenon – my Ubuntu LAMP server installation is slow to log on from a Windows terminal. I have installed OpenSSH and removed the “bind-to-localhost-IP” line in the config. I use PuTTY on the Windows (XP) box to communicate with the Ubuntu server. It always takes about 20 seconds from opening the connection to the request for the password. From then on, commands seem to run in “real time”.

Likewise, when I use the Windows MySQL client to connect to the Ubuntu server, it takes about 20 seconds for the connection to establish.

Is such delay normal ? What’s going on during that 20 seconds ?

Any clues much appreciated.

@geoff

if you want to install gui for your server you need follow this procedure

1) Make sure you have enabled universe,multiverse repositories enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list file

2)update the source list

sudo apt-get update

3)install gui

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

you can use wget to download the file

example

wget filelocation

wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/test/test-1.10.2.tar.gz

I installed Ubuntu server 6.10. If I want to browse on the web to download something from a web site, how do I do this? Since Ubuntu Server doesn’t have GUI, I don’t have a web browser to surf the Internet. Or, am I missing something?
