How can I install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 32 bit Desktop? I understand that 18.04 was the last version to support 32 bit, but at https://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04.5/ I only see 64 bit versions.
brewmanz's questions
I have downloaded and extracted all 5 source DVD iso images (ubuntu-19.10.1-src-*
). There is no useful README
; README.diskdefines
is useless to me. I guess that the source code is embedded inside a gazillion tar
files e.g. ubuntu-19.10.1-src-1/pool/main/a/accountservice/accountservice_0.6.55.orig.tar.xz
.
I now want to scan Ubuntu for some code (using mlocate
maybe), that displays the 'Oh no! Something has gone wrong
' image, as it's popping up.
How do I extract all the source from the extracted DVD images? Is there a script? Or where can I find non-compressed source?
EDIT2
I have fixed the problem from which this question arose, but I still think that it's a reasonable question - how can I view all the source without manually extracting from each tar?

I am running apt --fix-broken install
. I get:
dpkg-divert: error: mismatch on package when removing 'diversion of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu.so.1 by libnvidia-gl-390'
found 'diversion of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu.so.1 to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu.so.1.distrib by nvidia-340
(also other stuff but let's take it one step at a time)
Aha! Thinks I; I'll remove nvidia-340 then, except ...
apt remove nvidia-340
...
Package 'nvidia-340' is not installed, so not removed
How do I remove diversion errors from packages that look to me at though they aren't installed? What am I missing?
I'm having problems logging in to 19.10, and following some suggestions (e.g. ubuntu-18-04-stuck-in-login-loop-with-missing-xauthority-file), ubuntu-drivers devices
shows nvidia-driver-390 as recommended driver
When I sudo apt install_nvidia-driver-390
it fails
And trying sudo apt --fix-broken_install
fails
How can I get this sorted? Thanks.
EDIT
Please can someone point me to the logfile/whatever that will provide some information on what causes this message to pop up. I'm sure I can fix it, provided I have more information than some Microsoft-like generic message.
I could even follow kernel code, but without some pointers on where to look for what the problem actually is, trawling blindly through millions of line of code isn't gonna work.

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.10 onto a drive (SSHD) with boot partition and then LVM partitions for swap, root & home, with another 2 'vms' & 'bulk' leaving 25% of VG free.
To copy stuff into 'bulk' I would mkdir a folder in terminal, use (sudo nautilus) to change owner & group from root to my account, then copy stuff (normal nautilus) from old drives. Also installed new software as I went.
I realised 'bulk' was too small and did lvextend +256G in terminal. Strange: I still couldn't copy my files as not enough room. Did a reboot fine, except when I tried to log in, (I think) I got How can I work out WHY it's failed, so I can fix it? (logging out and in again does NOT fix it)
My HP ZBook15 (Intel i5-4310M x4, graphics Intel Haswell Mobile) randomly freezes after resuming from suspend (also hibernate but let's keep it simple), after maybe 30 mins or a couple of hours. Screen stays intact, clock freezes, and mouse (touchpad) may or may not move. Ctl-Alt-Del does nothing, unsure of Caps or Num Lock toggle. I have Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, Gnome 3.28.2, and a whole bunch of developer tools. I have a non-HP-supplied 2TB HDD drive and no SSD. I can supply more info if someone asks, and tells me how to get it.
There are some icons on the Ubuntu 18.04.1 Status Menu (e.g. between Power and Settings) whose purpose isn't clear, as there is no hover/hint information if you move the mouse over them (which you do for say the left-hand shortcut/favourites bar and Chrome browser tabs).
Is this a bug or deliberate choice to hide information from users?
e.g. It's taken me months to realise that one of those icons stops the screen from rotating when I let my laptop tilt over.
How do I add Eclipse or GitEye to Ubuntu 18.04.1 Desktop Favourites list?
When I run them and right-click on them in Favourites list, the only options are "All Windows" and "Quit" options. I have successfully added other programs (but can't re-arrange - another issue).
The two programs I'm trying to add might be both java programs.
How do I add folder to Ubuntu 18.04.1 Nautilus Bookmark list?
Ironically* I can do this via Open Project inside Eclipse, but Nautilus seems to give no option - not in right-click-menu, no Settings option, ...
(*) This is ironic as I cannot add Eclipse to the left hand Desktop Shortcuts - another problem with 18.04.1
How do I drag and move icons in Ubuntu 18.04.1 favourites bar? I've tried all the suggestions at How-to-drag-and-move-icons-in-the-gnome-shell-favourites-bar (@2018-01-10) but they didn't work for me.
Please can someone tell me how to do a custom LVM install of Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Desktop. I have RTFM and it didn't help me. I've hit multiple problems trying to install it:
A) Trying to do a 'default' LVM install does not do what I want
B) Trying to do a cough partial default LVM install by cancelling, and re-starting with a custom LVM install fails as the LVM volumes on the new drive are 'grabbed' by the DVD Ubuntu on reboot and so cannot be changed.
C) Deleting cough the symlinks in /dev/mapper partially started the customised LVM install (I can then delete the LVM partitions), but I couldn't change things; it's like the LVM info is opaque to the installer
D) Booting the DVD, I cannot install either partitionmanager or kvpm ("E: Unable to locate package ...")
Some workable way forward would be really appreciated. I am not familiar with LVM but quite willing to learn.
I had 11.10 x64 installed on AMD 4core with NVidia card. I had problems changing screen resolution. I have just over-installed 12.04 x64. It went well. Screen resolution changes worked well. I ran diskutil(?) which said drive was good but grumbled about misaligned partitions of 1K & 3K. I then applies 60+ updates. It said it needed to restart. I press 'restart' screen button but it wouldn't restart. I pressed the H/W reset. It came up with GNU GRUB version 1.99, 3 lines help text and a GRUB prompt. I pressed H/W reset. Same GRUB prompt again. How do I get the Ubuntu Desktop back? Thanks.
