I have recently upgraded from lenny to squezee and I noticed some problems during upgrade with some python files. Now I have same problem with them and I need to resolve it so that I can install sane:
Code:
dpkg --configure -a
Setting up python-imaging (1.1.7-2) ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/runpy.py", line 95, in run_module
filename, loader, alter_sys)
[Code]...
aptitude -f install reports same problems with python-reportlab and python-imaging.
In my last installation of debian (Squezee unstable), i dont have problems with the sound.But with my new installation of squezee, when i tried to activate the volume control (With the gnome applet), the system told me this (Aprox).
I'm using centos5 hiab with qmail and apache and i'm trying to install Mailman via: ./configure --prefix=/home/admin/mailman --with-mail-gid=qmail --with-cgi-gid=apache
and I get the error:
***** Distutils is not available or is incomplete for /usr/bin/python ***** If you installed Python from RPM (or other package manager) ***** be sure to install the -devel package, or install Python ***** from source. See sec. 15.1 of the Installation Manual for ***** details
Doing an rpm -qa | grep python yields the following: python-2.4.3-19.el5 libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.2

So it seems to me that the only thing I need to is upgrade(new install??) python-devel-2.4.3-19.e15
I would like to update Python v.2.4 and Numpy to Python v.2.6 and Numpy v.1.3. How can I do it. I heard that we can use "yum update", but I am not sure to do it correctly.
I have some tools that seem to have issues with Python 2.5 but are OK (on other systems) with Python 2.6. So, I was considering upgrading my Python interpreter to the current 2.6.4, but I know that in various RH distros, this was strongly discouraged. Is it OK to replace my current Python 2.5.2 on F10? If so, should that be done from source or can I do this cleanly through yum?
I'm encountering a python error in the beginning of the upgrade. See screenshot. How can this be solved or should I indeed file a bug report? Problem is that except for taking the picture, I've been unable to save the info.
On upgrade I ran into this catch-22, and have almost 500 packages in limbo because of it. Any ideas on how to fix python-gobject or pycompile or whichever is angry?
Setting up python-gobject (2.28.3-1ubuntu1) ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pycompile", line 322, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/pycompile", line 299, in main options.force, options.optimize, e_patterns)
So I was trying to upgrade kupfer when it told me it couldn't, as python-keyring was a virtual package and could not be installed. I'm using Karmic, so the package python-keyring is not available, although it is in Lucid. How would I go about upgrading kupfer/installing python-keyring??
I had problems with python stuff and so update manager did not work. Also many other problems, PiTiVi was installed but did not start eg... After many trials of this and that I removed python-gtk2 and so also ubuntu desktop. But was unable to get it back. Now I cannot even shut down. While it is not possible to install desktop or anything else, would it be possible to fix this by upgrading the whole system to 10.04 (10.10?)? Would it fix python installation. How could I do it. Some info tells to change sources.list and run apt-get upgrade, but some tell not to do so.

I just finished upgrading the last of 3 machines from F10 to F12 using preupgrade (all i686). Except for a non-critical hplip issue, all went well with the first two machines upgraded 1 week and 3 days ago, but some python F10->F12 updates were missing on the third machine that I upgraded yesterday, leaving yum inoperable. Thanks to good yum error messages, I was able to resolve the problem (I think), but I thought I should post to check if mine is a unique or common problem, to enquire if it may have resulted from some of the python packages being in "update transit" in the repositories, and/or whether something like this can be avoided in future? Details follow:
Upgrade appeared to go well except for some dejavu font dependency issues (experienced on all three machines) and libcrypto.so.7 missing for eet-1.2.2-4... (third machine). However, there was a boot message that some python module (can't remember which) was not present for some nvidia requirement, although video driver worked fine. When testing yum: First it complained that libpython2.6.so.1.0 was not present. Since that module conflicted (identified by rpm) with various python 2.5.*f10 packages that that were still on board, I copied libpython2.6.so.1.0 (from a current f12 rpm) into /usr/lib manually. Second, yum complained that urlgrabber was not available, so rpm with the latest python-urlgrabber for f12 solved that.
Third, yum complained that pycurl was not available, so rpm with the latest python-pycurl solved that. Yum now works! and boot message is gone! I ran "yum install python-libs" to make sure that any necessary dependencies were met following my manual installation of libpython2.6.so.1.0, which resulted in a bunch of python dependencies being upgraded as a result.
After upgrading to 10.04LTR 64bit I encountered this problem below... I have already tried -f / --configure to no avail.

I am getting a little fed up with the fiddly-ness of Clonezilla and checked out the Members' Choice Awards for a better solution. Seems like rsync is very popular as a backup tool. But can it be used for creating an image of a partition which could later be readily used for a bare metal complete system re-install?
I'm searching for a GUI disk imager, something, that will be the GUI front end for dd. Ghost4Linux G4L is not an option, I want to be able to make security backups of my USB thumb drives, CDs, DVDs...
I need to take an image from my laptop hard disk which has Linux SUSE installed , and I want to restore the image to another laptop (which is the same as mine). how can I do this ? in Windows environment , many programs can do this easily , but I don't know how to do this in Linux .
I am learning how to use DD for creating images across networks and locally but needed some clarification. 1 - When creating an image, I noticed that there is no verbose to show you the progress, How can I accomplish this?
2 - When I run this on a 8G usbstick it takes a long time to image. How can I speed up this process? PHP Code: dd if=/dev/sdb of=/home/test/images/image.dd
3 - When an image is restored like PHP Code: dd if=/home/test/images/image.dd of=/dev/sdb will that give me a working bootable usbstick? For example if I imaged a working usbstick with Ubuntu on it using DD and restored it like the example above on a different usbstick, will this give me a booting new usbstick? I hope that came across ok?
I have a hardware device that has Slackware 12 installed on it. I have my software I created installed I want to imgage this and send to a company to produce thier hardware using what I created. I would hope they won't have to install slaceware first.
I have to image a sparsely populated 20GB NTFS partition onto an ext4 volume. While doing dd if=/dev/sdb2 bs=10M | gzip F14 64bit falls into kernel panic screen. What other method of taking per-sector image of a HDD is possible?
I have an hp laptop with 2 hdd slots, both are sata. it came with a 320gb hdd with vista ultimate 64. i added another 320gb hard drive to my laptop and installed kubuntu on the second hard drive. Since vista was my primary hard drive, parts of grub were installed on it i.e. stage 1.5. And the rest was installed on the kubuntu hard drive. Because of that neither os would boot independently of one another.
I eventually got tired of kubuntu and in wanted to uninstall it. I formatted that disk. Now vista gave me grub errors, like I knew it would.I was going to fix the vista boot sector and mbr by running bootrec.exe off of the vista disc. But since I have an hp laptop, hp doesnt provide a recovery disc with just vista, it is an install of the factory image of the os plus software and therefore doesnt have the utilities I need to fix my problem.I ended up navigating to some sort of command line in the windows recovery environment and tried running it there, but no luck.
I tried navigating in the hp recovery environment, and accidently had vista start to reinstall itself on the drive, and actually I did that 3-4 times, each of which I stopped the recovery early on, within 30 seconds, but it had managed to mess up my partition table. I was wondering if there is some utilities in linux/ windows that will help me restore the partitions back the way they should be? I have done a data recovery with get data back for ntfs, and was pretty successful getting some stuff back, figures since the mft was screwed up.
So first of all I want to make an exact clone of the hard drive. Something like dd but just make an image file for now. Since there are no partitions on the drive I dont think I can use partimage, or drive image xml and I wonder if clonezilla will work. And I dont know how to test it without have to reload the image and wiping the drive in the process. I have imaged the drive with get data back but it does me no good cause I cannot restore that image back to the drive, or at least dont think I can.
Second I would like to see if I can recover the partition table , or mft that was over written. Here is a list of programs I can use for imaging or recovering. [URL]Third, since I have 2 320gb hard drives, one that is corrupted, and one that I took kubuntu off of and loaded vista with the recovery disks. Can I take the mbr, and partition table, or boot sector off of the working vista and move it to the broken 320 and fix it that way?
i'm just a desktop end user; on line banking, email, videos, im, music, etc. the regular stuff. can i get rid of python? i don't program anything. don't plan on it. never gave it even a fleeting thought. do i need it? does any other program or app depend on python? can i make a clean sweep of it? and if i can, what's the best way of doing it?
in ubuntu 10.10, I have installed python 2.7. I would like to use apt-get to install packages to this version of python but I haven't been able to figure out howThings I have tried without success:changing the symlink at /usr/bin/python to point to /usr/bin/python2.7 - even after doing this apt-get still installs stuff to python2.6.Set up python2.7 as the primary alternative using update-alternatives - doesn't work
I'm running fedora 10 on a virtual machine. I'm trying to create a kernel so that I can use the imaging software FOG on multiple computer makes and models. I'm pretty new to linux so I'm sure I'm missing something I just need someone to point me in the right direction. I have installed the "Development Tools" and qt3-devel. When I run make xconfig or make menuconfig it errors out. The following is what I get...
make xconfig [root@localhost linux-2.6.26.2]# make xconfig scripts/kconfig/qconf arch/x86/kconfig init/kconfig:514: can't open file "usr/Kconfig" make[1]: *** [xconfig] Error 1 make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
Has anyone found a good cloning program like pq magic etc. I looked at clonezilla but could not find a dload for fedora/redhat (would installing it via tarball work?)
I can see from /var/log/messages error messages and weird crashes that the disk in my laptop is on the way out. I plan to replace it but to do this I'd rather not have to install everything again.My laptop has these partitions:Windows Recovery (10GB)Windows 7 (NTFS 96.6GB)Linux /boot (ext4 100MB)Linux LVM (encrypted, 143GB)I need software that will allow me to create an image (or images) of all these partitions, save the image(s) to a USB hard drive and restore from those images once I've put the new, blank, hard drive into the laptop. Does anyone know of software (either open source or commercial pay-ware) or a technique to do this?
Am doing a simple partition imaging program. Am using libparted for partition things. Before that I want to list the available hard disks (/dev names) attached to the PC Programmatically.
I'm trying to setup a server at home, it has some practical implications, but largely it is just to take a stab at it. But I need the help of someone with more experience than I in defining exactly what I'm looking to do.
Here's what I have: old PC running Gutsy server connected to router. Several laptops at home connected via wifi to router. All laptops running either Windows or Ubuntu. Here's what I'm looking for: The server centralizes file storage for all clients. I would likely incorporate a RAID and some synchronised imaging of the files. I also want the server to create disk images of the clients hdd, regardless of client OS.There would also be some shares that would be publicly accessible (myself and friends accross the country would be able to access the same drive).
So I was thinking something like what corporate environment would be nice, you log into a profile that exists on the server. Like a dumb client...all data would be stored on the server. But I'm thinking that's more like a network boot and wouldn't work via wifi (or would it?). Also that wouldn't lend itself well to laptops used on the road in areas without net access. now I'm thinking each client would have its own locally installed OS, and they would just access networked shares. I could store sensitive files on the shares, but that wouldn't provide complete backup solution for each client.
Without rambling on anymore, anyone care to throw out some ideas? I'm really just looking to see if I can do what I want. The focus is on centrallizing files, securley backing up data and client OS's and ability to restore said images quickly.
