Debian :: Synaptic - Software Sources Will Not Show Repositories
Nov 27, 2010
I recently installed Debian Squeeze and trying to get all the goodies installed I had in Lenny. Synaptic, software sources and software center now fails to display and allow selecting from /etc/apt/source.list. When using Synaptic and I chose "Settings" then "Repositories" I now get a message "repositories changed, click reload button" when I do it just reloads and displays downloading 34 packages as it has since first install. Normally I would get a window where I can select or deselct sources from /etc/apt/sources.list, I also recollect it asked me to insert the DVD I installed the OS from but it does not do this now as well.
When opening "software sources" it prompts for root or allows if I have prevoiusly used root but just stalls and then quits. When using "Software Center" and selecting "Edit" then ""Software Sources" I get same results. I verified sources.list exists, backed it up and made a few changes to it and still no results. This most likely has happened since I used smxi to install nvidia driver shortly after install. Installing the debian modual driver suplied would not work. I have since tried installing GoogleEarth same way I did with Lenny without results. I also used smxi with report it would not build. Anything simple like Users and groups I have yet to configure properly that would cause this? I have yet to make any changes except add 2 users.

I'm rather new to Linux...especially Debian. I've been running Kubuntu for about 1 month now and I wanted to try out Debian as well. So I installed it on a laptop (Downloaded the 6 DVDs). Now, how do I add some repositories to Synaptic so I can update my software? Also, is there a list of repositories? So far, every time I want to install something I need to insert one of the DVDs.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 GNOME. Today I wanted to add a new repository. I tried to open the repositories manager (Software Sources) through Synaptic, but nothing happened. Then I tried to open it directly by directly clicking on the Software Sources program in the system menu, but still it wouldn't open.

When I exit from Synaptic I get a list of duplicate sources. Is there a program that remove them? Often I can not spot the duplicates in the software sources window.

Whenever I try to run the Software Sources and Synaptic Package Manager applications, 'Starting Administrative Application' appears briefly on the taskbar - and then disappears! And nothing starts.I tried uninstalling and reinstalling them in case they were corrupt, but the same thing still happens.These two seem to be the only applications that behave this way, so can anyone think of anything that links the two of them and may cause this?

I'm using pptview from the repositories to show a powerpoint file, but when I'm connected to a projector, it insists on showing the show on my laptop screen rather than the projector.

For some reason many packages don't show after I enter package names in quick search field. I have to find each package by scrolling through the entire list. For example, typing g++ shows only some lib file, not the C++ package. The same for automake, autoconf and libtools. Synaptic works fine in 32bit ubuntu.

The problem below is probably related to the fact that I tried to install a 32-bit version of Teamviewer on a 64 bit system. I have now downloaded the right version, but when I try to install it I get: teamviewer6: 6.0.9224 (Multi-Arch: no) is not co-installable with teamviewer6:i386 6.0.9224 (Multi-Arch: no) which is currently installed But the Synaptic Package Manager does not indicate that Teamviewer is installed, nor does it appear under installed apps in the panel. So how do I get rid of the teamviewer6:i386?

It started with Update Manager constantly recycling and not updating. When it starts it shows 295 files and 308MB waiting to download. When I click on 'Install Updates' it appears to go through the process, and then presents me with the same 'waiting to install' window again - and again, and again - in fact as many times as I care to click the 'Install Updates' button. No error messages appear. The 'Settings' button produces the same apparent process as the 'Install Updates' button, but doesn't present me with any other screen.
I've tried all the solutions I could find on these forums and nothing works. The sudo suggestions for Terminal usually produce error codes. adjusting a line in the 'hosts' file. When I tried this I was presented with the obstacle of not having access to the read-only file, and no matter how much I searched I couldn't find how to gain access . While investigating all these possible solutions, I was directed in turn to the Software Sources and Synaptic Package Manager applications, but when I attempted to start them, 'Starting Administrative Application' appeared briefly on the taskbar - and then disappeared!

I have a box which is used by other people, although I have the only admin privileges.
In the users part of the system, an installation has appeared.
I didn't install it, and it seems to be some sort of windoze malware.
How do I get rid of this totally?
A simple 1,2,3..
The name of the App is AdvancedCleaner Free. It is running in WINE.
Since I certainly didn't install either of these....
I checked synaptic for wine, but it doesn't show as installed.

I have no idea how I did it. All of a sudden I couldn't access synaptic so I restarted my system and the login screen wouldn't show up. I tried dpkg --configure -a and sudo apt-get install -f. I can't access my system at all.

I have ubuntu 10.04. The installation is about 3 days old. My account type is administrator. When I try to open "synaptic package manager," "root terminal," "software sources," or "firewall configuration" the window list on the panel on the bottom of the screen informs me "starting administrativ..." and then vanishes without fanfare. Clearly it would seem these programs are all dependent on something I managed to screw up.The question then is; what is it, and how can I fix it? Also note: everything works fine on the root account.

I've got the following problem: I just noticed that there were just very few notifications about updating the system (usually there are damn many of them in a week) So I opened the update manager and clicked on "refresh list". The following result popped up: p,li{white-space:pre-wrap;}E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found First I thought, it would be just some kind of server problem, but it didn't stop. The next thing was to research the thread and I even found something. However, the solution suggested didn't work at all. (Things, which might have caused this: I installed the default software center |I'm using Kubuntu, but in this case that fact doesn't matter| and used it. To sum up:
- not able to update the system referring to the launchpad main sources for 11.04
- following error: E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found It would be great if this was a common issue and I've been simply too stupid to find a proper solution. So you could just post the link.

I am running Jolicloud on my netbook (which I believe is an Ubuntu derivative) and I am tried to enter the getdeb.net sources in so I can install apps from the website through APT but
1) When I entered the sources into sources.list and then the key into Terminal and then went to the site and tried to install an app it didn't work.
2) I deleted the line of code in the sources.list file and when I opened terminal and entered "sudo apt-get update" it showed the list of sources, but on the list were Getdeb.net sources.
My question is how do I delete sources that aren't in /etc/apt/sources.list ?

How to best manage partitioning when install programs not from debian repositories?I just discovered that Debian installs applications not from repositories to /opt and /lib. Both directories or folders reside in root (/) partition.Having made my root (/) partition (which is only around 500MB) -- more than sufficient for holding a couple of linux images but NOT good for holding application.What is the best solution for resolving this? It's annoying and worrying that my system always reminds of a close to full capacity root partition.

I am running Suse 11.1 64bit, with KDE, recently I received a pop up on my screen, "something about update problems", I used Yast 2 and selected online Update and it couldn't find updates for Nvidia and froze at that point. I dis-enabled that repository and refreshed all of the remaining Repositories individually and it seemed to work. I then went to the repositories listing and selected "Add" and selected "community" repositories and received the following: WARNING Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined. What is my problem? How do I acquire the list of community repositories? I can live with out the Nvidia repository for now but would eventually like to get it back.

I've been wondering what's the advantages and disadvantages of installing an iceweasel extension from the debian repositories vs the addons.mozilla.org website. I can thus far see that extensions installed from the repositories can't be uninstalled from inside iceweasel. Is there any difference? Are they installed in different places? Are they always accessible to all users? Any difference at all?

I have used Debian Linux for two years, most recently the seventh or so iteration of Version 5. I use the Gnome desktop and the Synaptic Package Manager, not the Update Manager, for updates because it's easier to build a log with the former.In my most recent update, Synaptic stripped out all the xserver-xorg files�47 in all. I thought it peculiar but did not know enough to interfere. When I rebooted, the system told me I must install xserver or correct GDM configuration and restart.
Have I been hacked? Am I being tested by the Linux Illuminati? Or does it have something to do with the warning message I received at the end of the update-upgrade, attached? And how do I go about reinstalling xserver? With Aptitude? I have tried running apt-get -f install, to no effect.

The topic says it all. I am installing Debian Squeeze on an old Socket 370 Celeron, 433MHz with 128MB PC-100 and a 4.3GB HDD, to function as a router, proxy, content filter, firewall, etc etc. Due to this, I looked at my loaded modules list in the stock Squeeze kernel 2.6.32-3-686. I wrote them all down, downloaded the sources, and cut out everything except those modules and their dependencies. No problems here, but I just noticed that I only see 2.6.32 sources in aptitude, not 2.6.32-3.

I decided to try Debian 5.0.4. I download from debian site CD1 iso image wich is enough to install Debian. After installing Debian my /etc/apt/source.list looks: # deb cdrom: Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.4 _Lenny_ - Official i386 CD Binary-1 20100131-18:53]/ lenny main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.4 _Lenny_ - Official i386 CD Binary-1 20100131-18:53]/ lenny main
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
Then I try to install Synaptic. I enter apt-get install synaptic and get error because this package is in some other debian cd. There are 30 CDs with packages. I can not download all 30 CDs. Is there a way to change /etc/apt/source.list file so it can be posible to download some package cointed in some of 30CDs from some offical debian web repository and not from cd-rom media.
