At my current job it is my responsibility to update all the servers, as well as some of the workstations. Its an easy enough job, I just remote in to each "machine", and use Synaptic to update. Well, we have a package that was created here "key-build-tools-g6" and for some reason, after I update and go to close Synaptic, it says "There are still marked changes that have not yet been applied. They will be lost if you choose to quit 'Synaptic'". If I cancel and "Apply Updates" then look at the "Details" it says "key-build-tools-g6 (version 18) will be upgraded to version 18". I go ahead and update it again, it downloads, and installs, but then when I go to exit... Same thing.
Im fairly new with Linux (Puppy and Mint) and have only been working with Debian for 24 hours. I have come across the errors shown in the attached screen shots.
I just installed Debian (Stable, 5.0.6) for the first time. I had some troubles related to the installation of network and nvidia drivers, but now the system seems to work pretty well. The only problem i'm having is that when I try to use tools like the graphic update or the graphic packet manager, or the graphic tool for adding/removing software, after I write the password they ask me, they freeze, but still seem keeping loading something, as the cursor usually keeps turning, and, on the lower bar of Gnome, something like "Granting rights..." appears (i've the italian version so i don't know if i'm translating well or not). Sometime they freeze before the request of authentication and then nothing happens, sometime they simply don't start. Also, sometime the update manager starts but freezes when i click on the button that checks for new updates.Maybe it could be useful for you to know that I installed the 2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64 kernel because my network had problems with the 2.6.26-2-amd64, could this be a problem? i also installed the last Nvidia drivers, and i think nothing more, just the system updates from the stable repositories.
No updates are available No network connection was detected. =================================
I did updates almost daily on wheezy
Todays updates [via the Pkg Updater GUI] were over 300 meg. After the updates and reboot System was showing version 8.0 in the GUI desktop and using 'cat /etc/debian_version'
Then... From terminal I did ...
apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade
The dist-upgrade was over 40 minute and ~ 500meg
Things seemed to go well.
I updated sources.list with apt-spy.
[In order to trouble-shoot: I subsequently commented-out the apt-spy sources and found some generic sources on internet]
I have a PC104 running debian. I have 3 hard drives (in addition to the one booting) mounted in fstab by UUID. I use the options defaults,error=remount-ro. However, this means that when I boot with the hard drives not attached, I have to press Ctrl-D to bypass when the boot discovers the drives are missing. Is there a timeout commandoption I can add to fstab so that it automatically continues booting even if the hard drives are not attached? I could not find anything on a timeout command. (I tried adding timeout=1000 but no-random guess)
having had problems with getting grub2 to work on dual HDD setup...despite the most excellent advice on the forum i took the plunge and installed 10.10 from update manager within 10.04..... bingo fixed grub and now have dual boot again. but the update manager and synaptic package don't work because of libedata-cal1.2-6 file that remains..following other advice on the forum Advice gratefully received, how can i force an unistall of this package

I downloaded the first CD Image as instructed at [url] and installed it on my laptop. I would like to install the "Synaptic Package Manager" and a mirror repository so that my system can update.
I have apparently installed " apt-cdrom add" and then typed "apt-get update" and I tried to install the mirror when the system was installed but as the wireless was not connected it apparently did not add the correct details.
when I try to install a package, I've the message The following packages have unmet dependencies:package-xy: Depends:lib-something (>= version_number) which is a virtual package.
I've had a few different versions installed in Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit and now every so often, no rhyme or reason, flash crashes. Sometimes its in the middle of a video, I have no answer for whats causing this. I have the 64bit Square Flash installed at this time through the sevenmachines PPA.
software can I use to monitor the performance of apache on my dedicated server?Anything free that can track why the program crashes or the processes that are running when it does?It continues to crash "starting today" and I can't seem to find out why.
i have updated my ubuntu 10.04 to ubuntu 10.10 and now when I boot the pc, it choes ubuntu logo, and than the monitor goes to sleep but boot continues, cause i can hear the sound!
I have winfast tv200 expert tv-tuner. I am using TvTime to watch tv through it. verything is working fine except that sound continues to come even after i quit tvtime. is there any solution for it?
Upgraded to 11.04 last night. On reboot, everything goes fine. I logon, my wallpaper shows, I get the Ubuntu sound, my icons appear, then the icons disappear, wallpaper shows for a number of seconds, icons reappear - then this loop continues. I've booted into recovery, run repair packages and update grub - but makes no difference.
I'm using vsftpd to setup an ftp server, but whenever i attempt to connect, it asks me for a user name ( which i enter and it accepts) but it then asks for a password, which i am clueless as to what it is. I'm certain that i havent specified a password in any config file. Is there a default password i should know about?
I run the ping command using system() in C. It start pinging the desired destination but when I close my application it continues to ping. Is there any solution that as soon as I close my application it also stops pinging. Any change required in my C code?
Sound continues to drop out of flash in firefox. Reinstalling flash will bring it back, but it will drop out next browser session. All audio works in other applications. Skype, Last.fm, Rhythmbox, Amarok, Movie Player, etc. Even downloaded swf files will play sound. It's just in firefox, from what I can see so far. I don't know if Steve Jobs flying overhead in a black helicopter has anything to do with it, but perhaps.
OpenSuse 11.2Firefox 3.6.6DownThemAll 1.1.1.0I am downloading Slackware 13.1 (32 bit) from Softpedia using the firefox Add-on, DownThemAll.My computer is not on a UPS, so if the electricity is off, how should I make sure after restarting the computer, the download continues from where it left rather than restarting the whole process again
n an up-to-date kubuntu karmic I experience the following:watching a flash video with adobeflash in firefox in fullscreen mode, randomly the picture freezes while the audio continues. The video unfreezes when I move the mouse, the video then fastforwards to the actual replay position. Video card is nvidia geforce fx5200 on proprietary driver, I have the desktop effects enabled. Any idea what this is about? I discovered the effects causing wine windows to break (no window contents, no foreground, no reaction on mouse) when changing the desktops or minimizing them. Seems like there are some bugs in the window manager / decorator...
How do I disable the screensaver password prompt when I've already turned it off in System > Preferences > Screensaver? I tried checking and unchecking the box again and I also tried rebooting.
Another strange phenomenon is that after I enter my password, I'm now disconnected from the wireless network. Any thoughts?
I have a number of computers working just fine on my wireless network so I don't believe it is a router issue. I am running 10.04 on a dell gx280. I plug in the WUSB54g and ubuntu sees it and it connects to the internet just as it should. I can surf the internet thruough different browsers, and although a little sluggish, it works just fine. The problem is when I download a file. It starts out working as it should but continues to slow down to a crawl. Update manager had a 54MB update, it started out downloading, but then said it would take 2 hours so I just cancelled. I have several WUSB54g's and they all have the same issue. I changed to a different type of adapter, and the update manager only took a couple of minutes.

Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit I have not been able to update using the update manager or by using the package manager. It seems when the update manager tries to download all the requests fail.Anyone else had this problem??
I am enjoying the new install of Fedora 12, but am having trouble getting updates. First try more than >500 updates, but I get an error message. "Could not add package update for abrt-plugin-runapp-1.0.8-2.fc12(i686)updates: abrt-plugin-runapp-1.0.8-2.fc12.i686" and won't continue.
A package I'm trying to install requires libdrm, version 2.4.3 at least. I downloaded version 2.4.6.7, when I tried to install it, it says that it already is even though I passed -U to rpm. Trying to remove the earlier version of libdrm first didn't work either because there are already packages installed depending on it. How can I upgrade this package? (yum isn't an option at this time)
I have a very strange problem; when trying to apt-get update or aptitude update I get time out errors. At first it was resolving ipv6 adresses:
Cannot initiate the connection to ftp.litnet.lt:80 (2001:778::87). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:778::87 80] Err [URL] Cannot initiate the connection to security.debian.org:80 (2001:a78:5:1:216:35ff:fe7f:6ceb). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:a78:5:1:216:35ff:fe7f:6ceb 80] As my host does not have normal ipv6 support, i just tried to disable ipv6: echo net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 > /etc/sysctl.d/disableipv6.conf
I have an application here that has some incompatibilities with java 1.6.0_11 and for this reason I must use java 1.6.0_7.The problem is that everyday the update applet shows me a message telling to update this package.Is there a way to disable the update of this package without removing OpenSUSE Update Repository?
