Debian :: Let Apt-get Update Ignore Installation Media?

Sep 24, 2010

Short version: Why does apt-get update since recently ask me for my installation DVD?

Long version: In my sources.lst there is still an entry for the installation DVD.

I like that because if a package on DVD is still the newest version then there is no need to download it again. (If I comment out the DVD entry apt-get update will ignore the DVD but at the same time no package will ever be installed from it again, right?)

Since some time ago this was no problem as apt-get update didn't have a problem with the entry - or if it had (I don't really remember), there was just an error message and the process would continue with the other sources. But then this changed and now I'm asked to insert the disk (luckily I have only one DVD) every time and the routine waits until I have done so.

Is there a way to change that back?

I've read some apt documentation and the apt-* manual pages including apt.conf and some examples for that but could not find something useful though there might be something I missed because I didn't understand everything I saw.

Clearly, it makes sense that DVDs and the like can be included in apt-get update because some people update offline with these media. But (the standard) DVDs are read-only and the individual disks are identified by apt (see /var/lib/apt/cdroms.list). So the system should not expect an already known DVD to change but recognize if a new one is being used.

Aug 11, 2010

Ubuntu :: How To Make Update-grub (grub2) Ignore Other Partions / Distros

Jun 9, 2011

I generally have at least 4-5 distro's installed at one time - I always install grub to the boot partition of other distros -that was I control grub from the individual distros - I use ubuntu's grub as the default boot loader.

Rather than the method that ubuntu uses with the update-grub.I normally edit the grub.cnf file to add other distros but when update-grub launches it also adds links in grub.How can I prevent the upadte-grub script automatically adding lines for other distros i.e - I just want it to add ubuntu entries and ignore other partitions.

Fedora Installation :: Update Media's Repo Information To Reflect Some Of Updated Packages

May 13, 2011

I am creating custom install media using the Fedora Core 14 DVD as a base and I have gathered all of the packages and their dependencies I require using the yumdownloader command.I made sure to download the @core group along with the ones listed above. The problem I'm running into is that I don't know how to update the media's repo information to reflect some of the updated packages I have downloaded. So when I go to install on the device, it's saying it can't read/open a certain package and you can see that it's looking for an older version because I'm guessing its repo is telling anaconda that this is the specific version to look for. I'm looking for a way to "update" the repo found on the installation media.

OpenSUSE :: Kupdate Applet - Make The Update Applet Ignore "recommended" Update?

Mar 24, 2010

My kupdate-applet tells me it has a recommended update: KDE 4.3.5 from the official opensuse update repo. Problem is I already have a more recent version of KDE 4.3.5 installed from the official opensuse KDE repo. In yast I pressed the "switch system packages" button for the KDE repo. How can I make the update applet ignore this "recommended" update? Note that the updateApplet itself is installed from the opensuse update repo. If I don't do this, then the older update applet from the KDE repo always has a recommended update for... Kupdate-applet.

Debian :: Making Apt-get Ignore Broken Packages?

Apr 21, 2011

what should not be mentioned:

*disabling "Automatically fix broken packages before installing or removing" in aptitude -- because it does not work

*editing /var/lib/dkpg/status -- not related to apt-get really

* -m or -f options of apt-get -- because they do not help me in any way

* downloading the package manually and using dpkg --force-depends-version -i <package> -- again, not apt-get

I need the --just shut the fuck up and dl&install the darn package option immediately.

Debian :: Force Aptitude To Ignore Broken Packages

Jul 26, 2010

I am just too tired and am missing something in the man pages for aptitude and not getting my search terms right but I can't seem to find a way to make aptitude ignore a couple of supposed broken packages (they work just fine by the way). The only way I can find to remidy the situation is to remove those couple of packages or upgrade several things to their Squeeze counter parts. I really don't want to try and do the upgrade as at home I am stuck on a 56k connection. Removing the broken packages I guess won't be too bad if I can find the debs again after I install a couple of things I want to add to my system. I would however just like to make aptitude ignore the state of my system and try to install what I want anyway.

Debian Installation :: Apt-get Update Or Aptitude Update - Error "Cannot Initiate The Connection To Security.debian.org:80"

Debian Installation :: Lenny Install Not Reading Media

May 5, 2010

I've installed Lenny a few times before, but something is going wrong here this time. I couldn't remember the exact method I used to put an image on a disc, but I tried over 10 ways, and every time, after starting up, it says something along the lines of please select different boot device or insert bootable disc and press a key. There's a bunch of options to make these images in Windows apps, but I did one solid way that should have worked i believe.

This was to zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdx and so on, then copy the mini.iso to the usb drive (instead of previously making cds). I thought maybe my cd drive wasnt working, but the usb drive, when selected as primary boot drive had same issue. I didnt see any errors in its creation on the usb drive either. Running AMD64, have three hard drives plugged in, thought maybe the newest drive had an issue, so I tried different combinations of unplugging power and data cords of each and once all hrd drives. Using this computer right now, actually, XP is running. A command prompt version of squeeze is installed, its having some difficulties, thats why i would like a new install.

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Tell Grub / Kernel To Ignore Dead Hard Drive

Feb 8, 2010

I am trying to run Ubuntu 9.10 from a USB drive on an old laptop with a dead hard disk.An added complication is that it does not support USB boot, only CD boot.So with the help of URL..., I am running grub from a cd and then booting the kernel from the USB (or something like that).

The problem is that after I do this, I get about 6 minutes of error messages as the kernel tries unsuccessfully to read my dead hard disk ("buffer I/O error on /dev/fd0" or something like that). I can post again if the specific error message would be useful. (But it takes so long to reboot that i'd rather not). I can tell it is trying to access my hard disk as I hear the disk occasionally spinning (it intermittently spins and does not spin). After many failures, the system successfully boots and runs from the USB drive.I tried removing the hard disk from the machine entirely, but this triggers an ASPI error and the kernel hangs.So ideally I would like to modify the kernel command line above to instruct it to ignore the hard disk. I read some kernel documentation but it proved a little bit too advanced for me.

Software :: VLC - Update Media Library?

Feb 4, 2011

I've added my "Music" and "Video" folders to my media library in VLC which is useful, but it doesn't seem to update itself when I add/delete/rename files (using my file manager).

The only way I can find to update VLC's record/cache is to remove and re-add the Music/Video folder to the media library. Is there a better way?

General :: Installing VLC Media Player Update Yellow Dog 6.2?

Jan 4, 2010

i recently installed vlc media player 0.8.6 in yellow dog linux 6.2 on my ps3 by following this procedure..[url]... i then used the firefox add-on mediaplayerconnectivity (0.9.2) to link video files for quick time, real video, flash (flv)etc... to vlc as the default player for these video formats. (note: i had to manually add vlc as the flv default player, b/c mediaplayerconnectivity did not automatically do this.)

now...on videos when i double-click on the little movie film icon to play the streaming file through vcl the player opens, but neither the video or audio play even though i have vlc setup as the default player. i have tried playing some quick time (mov) and windows media video (wmv) streaming video and they work fine. i noticed that there's a new update (0.9.5) for vlc. do i need that update to make sure videos (flv files) video will play? if so, how do i install the 0.9.5 update after downloading it in yellow dog linux 6.2?

Debian Installation :: Package Updater Fails After Update To V8.0

Apr 27, 2015

After Updating to version 8.0 today...

Package Updater GUI is Failing with the message:

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]

==========================================
# sources.list generated by apt-spy v3.2.2

# Generated using:

[Code].....

apt-get and Synaptic GUI both work.

I did/reviewed some settings in the Synaptic GUI I imported two v8 signing keys into Synaptic from [URL]

Debian Installation :: LUKS On Root Killed By Apt-get Update

Sep 24, 2015

Root LUKS to be broken by apt-get update? This did happen to me on 3 different laptops, both on previous install (from Debian 8.0), and also on clean installs (Debian 8.1), repeatedly.

When I reboot, grub starts, but then it cannot find the root file system (I end up with the emergency console).

Code: Select allLoading Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
Loading, please wait...
[many seconds waiting]
ALERT! /dev/mapper/sda2_crypt does not exists.
modprobe: modprobe ehci-orion not found in modules.dep

This is the most simple, clean, conservative install ever, no closed driver.

But LUKS on the root file system:

Code: Select allone ext4 partition on /boot
one ext4 partition on / (trough LUKS, all defaults)

There is no LVM.

All the 3 laptops killed at different time, when updating. Clean install is fine until the first update.

Booting on the rescue system allows me to see everything.

Code: Select all$ update-grub
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found background image: /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-amd64

How can I recover from this?
