General :: Update Error: Two Updates Want To Overwrite Each Others Data?
Apr 23, 2011
I have a Pentium 4 HP laptop with Linux only OS, Xubuntu 10.04 LTS
I hadn't powered this one up in a long time and when I did, of course, the Update Manager informed me there were a LOT of updates (around 400 files) and of course I said OK.
It never quite completes, giving me an error message. Apparently two different packages are trying to over write each other's data.
The two packages that fail to update are
kdelib5-data and gnome-settings-daemon
and I really don't know what to do about it.
although isn't kde one desktop environment and gnome another? And Xfce yet a third?

I have a Debian OS installed (6.0), installed on a single partition, which was running out of space. So I copied all the data in /home to a spare partition, then edited fstab to mount this new partition as /home.
This works fine. But now of course I have the /home data both on the new partition (the one that is now being mounted and used), and also still on the original partition, though this directory is no longer mounted by the OS, so I can't directly 'get at' the data to delete it.
I could easily get into the partition from another OS and delete the unneeded /home data of course but I was just wondering; as this data is no longer 'seen' by the OS, will it be overwritten automatically by the OS when it needs more space, as it does with data that has been deleted from the filesystem, or would it be reserved somehow, still using up space?

I'm trying to connect to the VPN of my employer; after fix various minor issues I reach this point in which the DNS entries and the default gateway of the VPN are overwritten with the values of the eth0 device that appears by default. Therefore the vpn is not useful.

Why I can't update? Everything else works fine compiz, codecs, flash, java etc.

Installed Macbuntu on my new installation of Ubuntu 10.10. At onset was able to run update Manager with no problem. However after a couple of days and since I did the theme to make my ubuntu look like a Mac...it doesn't want to install any updates it receives. It says another program is running but I'm not running anything other than the Update Manager. Any suggestions as to how to fix this or should I drop the theme and go back to the regular window theme that came with the version of Ubuntu 10.10 I downloaded from the main site.

I've used gconf-editor to disable the "show_desktop" feature of Nautilus to get multiple wallpapers to work, but now want my icons back. But I can't:
Code:
warnec@lucidL:~$ LANG=C sudo gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop 'true'
Error setting value: Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Value for `/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop' set in a read-only source at the front of your configuration path
It does neither work with gconf-editor. It says this key is "protected from writing"

After click on install updates and entering password, a message says "Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s). Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages? Yes/No.
If I answer No, this message appears:
W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po....10.1_i386.deb
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]
If Yes, it tries to download but immediately:

404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]
It has always installed the updates with no problems, until these 3 updates remain in pending installation status.

I have a list of files that I am copying around for various purposes. What my current command looks similar to this:cat list_of_files | xargs -I {} /bin/cp -f {} /destination/dirI am using the full path to cp so that the default alias of cp -i does not take effect. However, when I find a duplicate file, it is overwriting any that have already been copied. What I would like to do is to force cp to not overwrite and not prompt.

I use software where I have to edit a text file in order to get my custom needs from it. Problem is that when the author puts out an update, it always overwrites my changes and I have to spend hours trying to compare the file, re-edit my changes back in, etc. This happens sometimes as often as once per month.
I've wondered if there might be a linux tool or commands which would look through the new file, then at my old file, changing only the text which already exists while not breaking anything else. Most software authors seem to know how to do this but since mine doesn't, how can I accomplish this on my own?

For example I want a file to be processed by sed, and then overwrite the file with sed's output. I would try this:
Code:
sed '<regex goes here>' myfile > myfile
But it doesn't work as expected, instead it empties the file (I am thinking that as the first byte comes out of sed, it overwrites the whole file and sed has nothing more to do). How can I make this work?

I am using an embedded platform in which I have connected an external harddisk (/dev/sda). The SCSI driver is present and I am using the SG_IO interface for performing the SMART commands with the Hard Disk. (Unfortunately not all the HDIO ioclts are present. So I opted for the SG_IO ioctl). But the data transfer (reading/write data from/to sector) is not working with the SG_IO ioctls. So I searched for some other options. Later in one of the places, I found that we can actually mount the /dev/sda to some mount point in /mnt and then make a XFS file system (mkfs.xfs) of this.
And then we can create the directories and do file operations on this mounted directory. Here the simple read/write systems calls can be used for this. I was thinking about this implementation. But I am confused how I can map the actual LBA (Logical Block Address) to the device file offset. I mean if I want to write to the sector 5, there will be a LBA for it. So I can do lseek on my device and then write the data there. So how the mapping between LBA and device file offset can be calculated.

I am writing a shell script that unzips a ZIP file into an existing hierarchy of files, potentially overwriting some of the files. The problem is that the unzip command asks for confirmation: replace jsp/extension/add-aspect.jsp? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: y
This is unacceptable for a script.I need an option to force unzip to overwrite the files.I did not find in the man page nor with Google.
