Upgrading Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

Published by Iqbal_Ir 2 months ago in Tools, Software & Technology, Gadget, Linux, Ubuntu, Laptop, In English.

This is my second time upgrading my Ubuntu. Last time I was upgrade from Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) to Hardy Heron LTS (Ubuntu 8.04). At that time it was successful. I was upgrading ubuntu (not a fresh install). It took very long time, may be around more or less 27 hours to complete. WOW… It’s was so long. Thank to Indra for his kindness provide me his bandwidth for free. Even I’m already install many application at that time, but I don’t find any errors after upgrading at that time. Everything was good. I just need to re-install modem and sound for that new kernel. After that, everything was normal.

Now, the new Intrepid Ibex is coming. This is new version of Ubuntu 8.10. It’s time for me to upgrade. But, many of my application are not coming only from Ubuntu, many of my application already mixed with another linux application. So, I’m trying to upgrade my ubuntu at the moment. I try to upgrade rather than do a fresh install. Even my Ubuntu seem already slowing in speed and it seems like it need to re-install again. The problem was actually because I don’t want to re-install again, I was hoping after I upgrade, It will speedup my Ubuntu.

So, I was try to upgrade my Ubuntu last Friday. After I started to upgrade, I found that I need to download 1960 packages. WOW… It will take very long time to download. You can find the progress after 16 hours of download here.

Here is the progress after 16 hours of download. Wow, still long way to go…

After I complete the download (it took about 30 hours to complete in total). I straight away to configure my new Ubuntu 8.10 version. The problem I found was the wifi that I used to connect can’t working properly. Usually I need rutilt to connect to my hidden wifi network, but now I can’t connect at all. I’m trying to solved this may be for an hour, but no luck. Then I try to use network manager that came along with Ubuntu, and then is was working. It’s very good.

After looking around to this new version. It’s still slow and some of my application was not working, may be it’s not compatible with this new version. Another one was my log-off button and shutdown button was separated one to another. This was not suited my satisfaction. So, It’s time to do a Fresh Install. Then it goes. I was re-install again my Ubuntu to version 8.10 Intrepid Ibex.

What is the difference at this time. Intrepid Ibex now able to view my hidden wifi network. As you see, this is my old Hardy Heron wifi network.

My old Hardy Heron unable to view hidden wifi network.
This is my new connection manager on Intrepid Ibex.

My new Intrepid Ibex now able to view hidden wifi network. BRAVO…

The blue one are a normal Access Point and the red one are the hidden AP. Both are now able to viewed normally. But there is still a “Connect to Hidden Wireless” menu on that network manager.

Everything is good now, my linux is faster and I can connect to my hidden wifi network easily. Viva Ubuntu…

Note:
- The only problem that I notice right now is just the modem. I’m trying to install conexant driver from linuxant, but it’s still failed. Arrgghhh…
- Another problem was an error when running kdebluetooth4… pppfffuuuhh…. Still need some time find out why…

@gagahput3ra,
Data rate was not so good, many people accessing the wifi on weekend. May be around less than 100 kbps (but I’m not sure about this rate).

@jofant,
Bisa asal passwordnya sesuai. Perlu diperhatikan password apakah dengan WPA/WPA2 atau dengan WEP dan juga passphrase ascii atau tidak. Tapi ini sih biasanya sudah otomatis dikenali oleh Intrepid. Selain itu perlu juga diperhatikan settingan jaringan tersebut apakah dhcp atau static. Kalau static silahkan setting ip secara manual, kalau dhcp dan perlu meminta ip ke dhcp server bisa dengan command berikut:

sudo dhclient wlan0

Ulangin terus sampai anda mendapatkan ip.

Kalau masih tidak mendapatkan ip, silahkan hubungi administrator jaringan anda.
