Update 11.04 Natty To 12.10

I have made a change to GRUB2 bootloader in etc/default/grub.
Now I need to run 'update grub' for the change to take effect.
However, the 'update grub' command on the terminal is giving this error message:
Code:

root@debian:/# update grub
bash: update: command not found

Can someone please explain why this command is no longer working?

I've had to make a change to grub because I tried to install a new distro which meant I had to alter grub.
The install wasn't successful so I deleted the grub file and then re-installed it.
The re-installed grub needs a change so I can get sound on my pc.
However, I can't add these changes because the 'update grub' command doesn't work.

I've checked the grub file with another debian distro and they are both the same.
So now I don't know if I need to check if a different grub file is the problem or anything else.
Can someone help?

My Firefox browser says it needs to be updated so I downloaded the file but when I open it I can't see how to update it as there are just lots of files and folders. Is there another way to update programmes I am missing?

So I extract an update to a package that creates one of the folders below and then I run "$(find . -name install.sh)" to find and install the update. It seems to go just fine. How? If the other versions were also there? Which install.sh gets run?

# find -name install.sh
./Program_5.1.8341.5506_Install/install.sh
./Program_5.0.8132.5459_Install/install.sh
./Program_5.2.8724.5567_Install/install.sh
./Program_5.1.8473.5522_Install/install.sh

any time I try to open either Synaptin or the update Mgr. 's they briefly open then close. This was after I tried to install Dropbox. I eventually had to re-install LXLE,and thats when the problem commenced.
Thanking you.

I've been using/testing Zorin 9, Mint 12, and Ubuntu 14 on 2 older computers for about 2 weeks now and I'm completely impressed with the look and feel especially of Zorin and Ubuntu. My problem is that I also have 2 newer computers that I am unable to install or even test any of the 3 on due to I imagine video incompatibilities. I get to the point where you choose the partition, and I just choose the defaults and then I get this sort of Linux version of the BSOD. I've tried all three in different configurations but nothing is working. I figure I just need current Video Drivers for Linux but there's no way, at least that I know of to update them cause Windows doesn't recognize the "run" command and I can't get into Linux to update it there. Any advice is appreciated.

Thank You

Hey guys. So I just went out and bought a Sager 8268-s (clevo p150sm-a) With an i7 4910mq and a Nvidia 980m gt. As I am a computer tech by trade, every time i see Windows i get horrible PTSD so i decided to try Linux instead. After many hours of trying to get a dual boot working finally got Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon installed on my computer, but when I went to install the Nvidia driver it landed me in fallback mode which I could not escape. So then I tried Ubuntu 14.04 LTS thinking maybe Mint was incompatible with the driver and the same thing happened.

So here is my method:

(sorry i don't know how to make a code box :/ )

First I log in to get root access:

$ su

Then I Update the xorg:

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

Then update my system:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Then i go into Virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and disable the display manager:

$ sudo service mdm (or lightdm for Ubuntu) stop

Then i install the drivers which i have done multiple ways:

$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings

or

$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-343 nvidia-settings

or by downloading the driver from Nvidia (first designating the file as executable)

$ sudo sh nvidia.run && sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

Then after install, I create the config file:

$ sudo nvidia-xconfig

Then I reboot. After I get the low res mode in Ubuntu or fallback mode in Mint and Driver manager doesn't detect any proprietary drivers and I have to reinstall to get the OS working again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I am using " Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 5)
Kernel \r on an \m
" and have " OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003 "
I wish to update openssl to new version OpenSSL 1.0.2a.

Please advise...

Thank you very much.

I'm very used to working on a linux machine, programing in Unix terminals all through college. That said, I have never needed to work with linux distributions or doing more than some apt-get software installation.

I need to make a CD. I need a machine to be able to boot from this CD. I would like there to be a unix terminal that runs a script automatically. This script must be able to mount an NFS drive, do simple networking (TCP/IP), and update the software on the machine running it through deleting/adding files.

I guess I need an .iso for a linux distro that has files and a script already on it that can be used to update a bunch of these specific machines?

Should I go through the LFS project in order to learn how to do this?

I'm pretty lost and need some help. Thanks!

I'm new to Linux and have a question regarding the updating of Linux Kernels.

Should I wait until a kernel update is offered through the update manager, or should I go and get an updated kernel from the update manager/view/linux kernels?
