After a momentary power failure My server did not reboot due to a disk error. I rebooted and ran an disk repair and the machine booted fine. Now if I got to the update manager and try to update I get the following error:
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid-updates_main_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I checked the file location listed the file is there (hidden). Should it be a hidden file? If so how do I repair this error? I went to the preferences of update manager and changed the following, Updates every 2 days from weekly, Changed the server location from US server to main server. The update manager ran and updated 13 files. I don't know what change repaired my issue but a guess is, changing the download location from the US server to the Main server.
Any time i try to install anything from terminal or synaptic i get this error message saying:
Or if i try to upgrade:
If i try to open the software-center the cursor changes but it does not open. This all started when it upgraded to Karmic Koala. There might be two seperate issues but i cannot install or uninstall at all.
I was running an update on my computer (running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid) and something must have been transferred incorrectly as every time I open synaptic, I get an error message that tells me to type a command into the terminal:
Code: sudo dpkg --configure -a After doing that, it displays this:
I am able to invoke 'skype' using the following command in a Terminal window. < export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so && skype & >. I want to be able to enter it through the Gnome Application interface. I right click on the skype icon and went to properties and added the above code. When I click the icon I get the following error message set out on the attachment? properly enter the commands within the application Command: line?
OS is CentOS 5.5, and GNOME terminal emulator (v2.16.0). However I regard the question is not related with OS/Gnome version level. My question is whether if color setting is available or not for the text character outputted by kernel (or shell, i.e. Bash). Normally we can specify/modify text character color (and background color) with property setting on the terminal. However, it only takes affect to the text for inputting character, not for outputted character by kernel/shell. For example, when we type a shell command "ls -al <cr>", the text appears with the color along with the terminal property.
Meanwhile, the text message displayed on the console (output message against "ls -al" command), in this case it must be file and/or directory names, will appear with some preset color which we've not preliminarily set. In my case, I set Text color with "White", Background color with "Black". Then I expect the text output message color displayed by kernel/shell would be some brighter color. But the color is "blue" which does not look better brightness against "Black" background. For this situation what I'd like to know is how to set/specify the color outputted by the kernel/shell (or whether or not it is possible to set manually).
I'm not sure about the following behavior so thought I would put it out to see if there is an error I need to resolve, or simply a process that I need explained.I'm also not sure if this is an Ubuntu issue, a Linux issue, or other... but here goes.I ran my "make build" in two different ways; one with just "make build" and one with "make build > output" (so I could review the full script).With just "make build" the process finished and returned to the command prompt.
With "make build > output", after the process had finished (script in output document identical to what was in the terminal with "make build") a new set of data was displayed in the terminal (see below).With the other examples of using "make build > output" the times it would parse something back to the terminal window was when there was an error. As I fixed the errors these breaks back to the terminal window would stop. So I'm wondering if this indicates a new error, but because the "make build" now completes successfully (at least it appears to), I'm wondering if this data in the terminal window is just a behavior related to redirecting the output script using the ">" process and something to do with returning to the terminal once a process completes

Im trying to instal Sun Virtualbox but when download completes and I click on install I get the following error>>Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) I wont even bother with this software if there are others out there that are as easy to use. I used it on Windows and thought it was great ! (thats how I eventually switched to Linux, by using it virtually at first)

My issue is with my Fedora 9 virtual machine that is running a Scalix mail server (host is F12).
The F9 VM was running fine until this morning when for no reason it crashed as I attempted to initiate a realVNC connection with it.
After a reboot users were unable to send mail to external addresses. When I try to check the network settings by selecting "System" -> "Administration" -> "Network", I receive the following error message:
While installing linux, i got error message when i tried to create LV for /boot... i checked with my friends n they told me that /boot should be a standard partition... why is that, i asked them but they had no good explanation for it... could someone please explain me why do we create standard partition for /boot, why can't i use LV??? also i heard that its good practice to create separate partitions (LV or standard) for /, /home, swap & other major directories instead of 1 partition for all these.
When I am compiling from the src, I run the ./configure script. While there might be error sometimes, I 'd like to ask, what're the 3 stars( ***) in front of the msg stand for? Do they stand for critical errors?
I am quite new to Linux, so bear with me if I ask silly questions. For homework (and fun) purposes I needed to create a bootable USB of Fedora12. Which I did, successfully I might add However, when I rebooted the computer, I got this puzzling error message code...
I just installed wine in an attempt to open .exe files. When running the code line /wine/file.exe the following message appeared: wine: Install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables. I tried out two things, both of which didn't work and the message still appears every time I try to use wine
1st: yum install mono-core.i686 It is the Mono CIL runtime, suitable for running .NET code. 2nd: downloading mono windows version from the original website but still couldn't install it because it is an .exe file

I am migrating an application from HP-UX to Redhat Linux and I have some files of scripts. In one of the script files I have the line /pylive/smartPAY/spserver/scripts/sp.con which is the correct path and file name for an existing file. However I get the message "No such File or Directory/pylive/smartPAY/spserver/scripts/sp.con" The script worked fine in HP-UX, why not in Redhat Linux?
Our websever, Linux Debian with mysql, apache2, php 5 went down this saturday. Now this monday morning i must find out why this happened. I am looking for the the correct log files. We know that the server was available by using ping so it is (was) an application failure. We know that the our apache support team had changed the php to improve performance to apc.shm_size=192M (a couple a weeks ago) because couple a weeks ago we got a "Unable to allocate memory for pool" error message. Our server is running on a Vmware Server version 3 as virtual machine with sufficient CPU and RAM resources. Where and which log files must be checked to avoid future download times (it is our Company web page!!!!)

But no matter How I reconfig it, this message still occurs. My distribution is UBUNTU 10.04 LTS original kernel with the distribution is 2.6.32 My own kernel is 2.6.35

I'm at a lost right now, I tried researching to find a possible reason, but I'm coming up short. I have a dual boot laptop with both fedora core 12 and windows7. Could there be a conflict between the two drives? I have the YUM extender on my linux drive performing the updates for me. I tried doing a YUM update via the terminal viewer, but I still get the same message.Any ideas as to why I'm getting this message, or how to fix this problem?

I downloaded opensuse from opensuse.org(the DVD), and when I tried to install it gave me an error message. When I saw the file on the mirror, it was 4.7 G, but when I burned it, I did notice it was only 4.2 Gs. I tried another download and again it was only 4.2 Gs, how or where can I obtain a working installable DVD of OpenSuse?
