View 8 RepliesI am not able to install any package using software manager. I make sure that I remain online throughout the process. When I select any software package to install, a window appears that asks for the authentication code. After entering the code, no progress(in any form) takes place and the dialog box remains idle. The same thing happened when I tried to install cheese, netbeans, gcc, eclipse, build-essential, g++, codeblocks and many other such software packages. I would like to state that this problem is persisting from past two days. Earlier I was able to install software packages using software manager and I had already installed about 10 software packages before this problem actually came into notice.

Ubuntu goes and tries to mess up with my boot configuration. wtf does installing a package have to do with messing up my lilo? I get this regardless of how I try to install the package and it makes no sense(ok, If I do this graphically, I get the same errors from a widget window)

First of all, I'm having this issue: I am having trouble with GIT, it keeps timing out on me. github.com[0: 207.97.227.239]: errno=Connection timed out fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out). This is happening over a 24hr period so I think its something on my end.
Also, my apache directory is not visible on my local LAN to other machines. I can browse in Fedora, however. Even the machine hosting the VM can't see my var/www/http directory. I set permissions but I have a feeling its a network issue somwhere. BTW, I can ping the Fedora VM (192.168.0.17) from other machines.
I updated the package libcgic-devel to a newer release of the same version. The change in the distributed files includes renaming a file cgic.html to index.html. I have both files installed now and cgic.html is orphaned.

I got a problem while updating KDE from 4.1.2 to 4.2. In our college we can't download more than 20MB officially. So I'm unable to get kdegames which is 32MB from Konsole so I downlaoded it using proxy and I copied it into the /var/cache/yum/updates/packages/ folder and now using this command (yum groupinstall 'KDE (K Desktop Environment)').
I tried to update to KDE 4.2 using Konsole but it is showing:
Error Downloading Packages:
6:kdegames-4.2.0-1.fc10.i386: failure: kdegames-4.2.0-1.fc10.i386.rpm from updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
And even by double-clicking the KDEgames rpm file I'm unable to install it is saying GPG (I'm not sure GPG or not, start with G i think) Key missing so it is taking too much time and not doing anything.
I have driver DVD for ASUS motherboard. This DVD has drivers (motherboard and audio) for Linux, how do I install these packages.
When I tried installing these with package installer, it says cannot install the packge.
I just did a fresh net-install of debian squeeze after a failed upgrade from lenny. Everything works fine and seems great except that kpackage doesn't seem to be installed. I checked in /usr/bin/ and there is no kpackage.Package kpackage is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.However the following packages replace it:kdelibs-data
E: Package 'kpackage' has no installation candidate
So I installed that package and some others that looked like it and still I dont have kpackage. I now use synaptic and although I love it, I miss being able to install from the notification that there are updates (I do get those).
Has anyone used kpackage to upgrade release 13 to release 14?I keep getting a prompt to start the upgrade but am worried about the time it will take and what happens if the network hiccups..

Yesterday I updated openSuse 11.3 on my laptop. Kernel update from 2.6.34.4-0.1... to 2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop was included. Yast performed fine and at the end it stated to reboot for using the new Kernel. So I did, but what a bad surprise!! Normally the Grub menu should have been updated, but not this time. Fortunately I know how to handle this, but not all users will be able to resolve this problem, so here's what to do if this happens to you: You will run into the Text console saying: Press any button to continue... Before doing this write down on a piece of paper the text lines visible on the screen, starting with:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34.4-0.1-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi....... resume=/dev/disk........
or whatever it reads for your system. You will need this info to edit the menu and succeed to boot. Now press any key and you will get the Grub menu. The standard option will be highlighted. press "e" to edit that option. Next you will see the Grub menu lines
First press key "o" to add a new line, select it by arrow down, press "e" to edit the line. (In my case it was not possible to edit the full original line, but only the added options like vag=0x317) Enter the line you wrote down, but change the kernel's version number to the new one Should look similar like:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi.......
(it works if you only use the part before "resume=/dev/disk....") After finishing hit Enter and you will turn bach to the Grub menu lines. Now move with the up/down arrow key to the old line, press "d" to remove the old line. Next move to the line with "initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34.4-0.1-desktop", press "e" and edit the line so that it reads: initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34.7-0.3-desktop press Enter to move back to the Grub menu lines. Now press "b" to boot. After booting log in, open your file manager as root, browse to /boot/grub and open the menu.lst file to edit and change the kernel old version numbers to the new one. Save it and next time it your machine will boot normally again.

I am unable to install various packages, including gedit, aptitude etc. I do not think it is a problem with my sources.list as my laptop has the same sources.list and I am not encountering the same problems on it. Packages will not install any dependencies. -f install isn't doing anything for me.
