Debian Multimedia :: Can't Download Software From Its Center In Gnome / What To Do?
Dec 31, 2010
I have a problem with installing application from so could software center just because in the line with the program there is no bottom install that is present in some programs. So could any body explain me why is so and what is necessary to do. i am relatively new in linux so no have much idea on using it.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to install "fedora"'s gnome-packagekit with it's GUI (gpk-application) in debian squeeze rather than installing "ubuntu" software center? Are there packages availabe in .deb file format in any repository?
After latest Gnome update, there's Ubuntu Software Center in the Gnome menu instead of add/delete applications. Strange, because I watched the latest updates install and I haven't seen the installation of USC.
Been using Debian Squeeze for a few days now and I think it's a SUPERB distro. Everything works perfectly.
To my topic: "Software-center" hangs forever when I try to browse non-installed packages. A search on this forum shows that it's probably a non-solvable bug. No problem, I use Synaptic and am very willing to learn CLI apt-get commands. But for now, uninstalling software-center through Synaptic also wants to uninstall gnome (I assume "all of it"?), and I'm not going to agree on that!
I've been working on this off and on for the last couple of days and I can't seem to get this working. I'm using the latest Catalyst Control Center (11.5) and I've also got xorg.conf set up for this resolution. If I switch the driver in xorg.conf to radeon from fglrx, I can get my 1920x1080 resolution (only on GNOME;the login screen and Fluxbox have a black bar on the left that cuts off about a quarter of the screen). When using fglrx and Catalyst Control Center, I can only get a maximum resolution of 1600x1200.
Alright so when I go to the Ubuntu Software Installer and and I try to install software, it wont let me. I can look at the software and choose which to install. It will ask me for authentication and it accepts it but when downloading it, it never passes 0%. Does anybody have any ideas whats wrong? Thanks so much for any input.
Every time i try to get anything from the software centre i get this message: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.
It was working fine, but i updated ubuntu, using the update manager and since then the software centre has stopped working.
i am unable to downlaod anything in the software center and here are the error messages There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. when i click on more info i get this
I'm trying to download GIMP but when I click install I get this message: But you can see in the top right I am connected. This happened when I tried to install tor as well.
I really need to download the Glade interface designer. So when I go to the ubuntu software center and click on it, it doesn't give me an option to download. Then, when I click "more info" it says, "To show information about this item, the software catalog needs updating". So I go ahead and run
When I attempt to download the restricted extras from the software center, I get the following error message:
CD/DVD 'Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release amd64 (20100427.1)' is required,Please insert the above CD/DVD into the drive '/cdrom/' to install software packages from the medium.
I have 2 Ubuntu CDs, the alternate x64 and the desktop x86. I've inserted both and still gave me the same error. The computer is running the alternate x64 version. I've already reinstalled this computer 4 times, and it NEVER asked me for the CD. Why would it ask for it now? Not only that it asks for a CD I don't have.
I tried adding sample programs to the Control Center by adding them to the Preferences/Administration menu, but that doesn't work. I'm using Lucid Lynx.
I want download this package. On this page: [URL] are presented references with unknown command deb, which can't execute on the system. The system is Ubuntu. How correctly get this package?
This is probably a stupid question, but is there any way to change the location where gphoto2 dumps the photos it downloads from the camera? Right now it just dumps the them in the current directory.
I've looked through the man page and nothing jumps out at me. The only thing I can think of doing is moving the downloaded photos to a new directory via a hook script, but before I go down that route, is there some kind of option I missed?
I'd like to combine the gnome-main-menu and control center windows into one window.by default the gnome-main-menu closes by after you choose an application, the control center does not.I use docky and if I could combine the two windows I'd have one less icon on the dock.I'm also open to alternative menus. preferably that work with docky. gnomenu isn't my fav but I haven't tried many others.[URL]
when i start an application it usually places it in the upper left corner or lower right corner or something like that.. but never in the middle of my screen. How can I configure GNOME to always open applications in the middle of my screen..?
Here's the deal: I'm in the backwoods with this mini-laptop and I'd like to do some composing with it. I don't have much internet here so I can't start googling around or download hundreds of MB's of packages. Anyone able to recommend me a good, lightweight midi notation software?
recently i had to format my system. I have downloaded some programs and some good, large games from the Ubuntu Software Center(USC). I want to copy and keep the installation files of these packages downloaded by USC. The problem is that I don't know where USC keeps the downloaded files. I think u got what i'm saying.The directory where the .ded files are kept after USC downloades it.
All of the documentation I've found on setting up a Multiseat configuration in Debian with GNOME is old. How do I set up Multiseat in Debian Unstable with GNOME 3 and GDM 3? Also, I do not have a video card. I have an integrated Intel GPU that supports two monitors. The multi-monitor set up works, but I want to set up Multiseat.
- Debian boots normally - I get the login screen - Once my credentials entered, I see only the grey foreground of the login screen for a couple of seconds, then a black screen with a prompt for like half a second and then I'm back to the login screen. No error message, nothing.
When booting in recovery mode and use startx, it works fine (it's my setup at the moment). From there, if I start gdm3 (systemctl start gdm.service), I get the black screen with a prompt and I can do nothing, I have to shut down directly by pressing the button.I tried to add Debian-gdm user to the video group (even if I don't use nVidia drivers), to replace gdm by lightdm and even to remove any display manager but the issue is not solved.Here are some outputs:
Code: Select all# dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 Job for gdm.service failed. See 'systemctl status gdm.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm3, action "reload" failed Code: Select all# journalctl -xn -- Logs begin at Tue 2015-12-29 19:16:26 CET, end at Tue 2015-12-29 20:20:55 CET
[code]....
Since removing gdm didn't change anything, I assume it doesn't have anything to do with it but still.
