General :: Installing Compiz - /var/cache/apt/archives/udvev-151-3-i386.deb ERROR
Apr 4, 2010
I was installing compiz on my machine and towards the end of installation i got an error saying:
dpkg:error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/udev-151-3-i386.deb
The program returned valude 1 or something towards that direction. I rebooted my X server however i got an error saying X server encountered a problem. I did apt-get install compiz and found out that many dependencies were missing so i tried apt-get -f install but i got the same error message at the end of the day. Im currently booted on windows XP.

I am running Ubuntu NN 11.04 on an AMD64x2 system, all updates current. I am trying to install a Canon Pixma ip1800 printer with no success after many hours of trying. I have 2GB RAM, an NVIDIA 256GB graphics card and 1TB HD. 11.04 runs great, recognizes my scanner (a separate Canon 670U), but no matter what, I cannot get the software to install correctly, although other Ubuntu Forums have posted instructions. Below is my Terminal output. Can you assist with specific instructions to use. I have tried removing and re-installing packages with Synaptic Package Manager and commands in terminal with no success.
See following for terminal i/o:

I was trying to update from 9.04 to 9.10.
During the installation, I kept getting tons of errors. Finally something came up saying that I had to abort the installation and it did some stuff. I tried running an application, but I got an error. So I restarted the system.
The normal screen came up where I had to choose the Ubuntu stuff (I'm new to Ubuntu) in the box. I noticed that it had gone to 8.10... which I had earlier before installing 9.04, which went great. So I chose the first on and the system failed to start. I rebooted and tried all the other options, but they all had errors. Now I'm booted to Windows.
I installed Ubuntu from a CD I created. But it is now outdated because it is 8.10, and I have already upgraded to 9.04. 9.04 to 9.10 is where stuff went wrong.

A few releases ago things used to work this way, but seemingly since Jaunty it no longer does seem to work:
This used to work: I have several Ubuntu machines to upgrade and limited (and highly expensive) bandwidth available. In the past I would upgrade/update one machine and copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to the other machines to be upgraded. When updating/upgrading the distro the packages that already exist in /var/cache/apt/archives would not be downloaded from the Internet while utilising the locally cached .deb files, saving time and bandwidth.
The Problem: I have noticed that since 9.10 (and with 10.04) this no longer appears to work. While the .deb packages may exist in /var/cache/apt/archives, the same packages would be downloaded from the Internet regardless of the same .deb file existing in /var/cache/apt/archives/.
Question: What is wrong and how can I restore the functionality present in copying cached packages from machine to machine in order to save bandwidth?
Why I need this to work: At work (and I have no control over this...) we are limited to a total bandwidth of 3Gb per month for multiple users. Needless to say a single upgrade of a recent Ubuntu distro can decimate a large proportion of our monthly available bandwidth. Upgrading multiple machines is absolutely out of the question if the packages have to be downloaded every time.
An apt-cache server is not an option: The option of a local apt-cache server is not feasible due to the same 3Gb bandwidth constraint. An apt-cache server requires 15Gb storage per version of Ubuntu and the downloading/upgrading of 15Gb worth of packages for that storage is not an option due to the 3Gb limitation.

My /var/cache/apt/archives directory has almost 9000 items and is over 12 GB big. All it contains is a bunch of .deb files. Do I need this file or can I delete it to save hard drive space?

I have a dedicated server and I am having email issues etc (seemingly) because the /var directory is 97% full
I would like to know if it is safe to clear it and how to clear it (assuming it will not disrupt/kill server services to do so).
I have a 'Matrix' control panel so i can view the storage etc but it does not have an way of clearing the /Var directory.
I have Putty Access to root but do not know much about command line access.
I found a few threads but the information is not clear to me as there seems to be an assumption of (basic?) knowledge I don't yet have.
My linux support guru that usually does this kind of thing for me is away and not contactable and my server is grinding to a halt and unable to store/send email.
I have only a very basic understanding of command line but really need to get this sorted ASAP.
Is it possible and SAFE to delete files via FTP from the /var/cache/apt/archives?

I ran into some complications with my ubuntu 10.10 install and couldn't boot into the desktop. I decided to use a live CD to get access to my downloaded cached packages and copied them to my windows partition, now I've re-installed ubuntu and manually restored the apps into the /archives/ directory, I've installed a lot of apps from the directory already but AptOnCD has refused to properly reflect the apps I have there, is there something I'm overlooking?

I know JohnVV. "Install a supported version of Fedora, like Fedora 11". This is on a box that has all 11 releases of Fedora installed. It's a toy and I like to play around with it.

I have been trying to install MATLAB 2008b as a standalone version; however, every time when the process runs to 18% it shows an error as follows: "There was an error extracting the archives for MATLAB compiler. Chceck that you have enough disk space and rerun the installer."
I did have checked the disk space which is much more than enough. I have also changed few different disks that are way more than enough as well, about 5GB at least, but this error still popped out when it runs to 18%.

I've found a website [URL] that I've downloaded Basilisk II [URL] and SheepShaver [URL] from, I converted both inton deb archive using the command sudo alien, but while they both successfully converted and installed, and show up in the Applications menu, only Basilisk II launches. When I click on the SheepShaver icon, nothing happens. I had this problem with another SheepShaver RPM I downloaded elsewhere. I really want to use SheepShaver to run Mac OS 9 on my laptop, is there something I can do to get it to run?

I have downloaded an rpm for libstdc++, libstdc++-3.4.6-11.i386.rpm, from centOS, http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/. On trying to install it, it says unlocatable package libstdc++, required by libstdc++-devel.
How is it that the very package i'm trying to install is dependent on itself. On trying to locate the package the result is as below.
# rpm -q libstdc++

I want to tar -zxvf several dozen .tar.gz archives. I know how only to tar -zxvf one archive at a time. If possible, I would like to tar -zxvf all the archives in one command so I don't have to type "tar -zxvf [filename]" several dozen times. What's the syntax? I looked at the man tar page, but couldn't find it.

I have a large number of zip-archives which I would like to extract and then delete, keeping only the extracted files. The files are located in a number of directories and I issued the following command, hoping that it would solve my problem (which it didn't):
Code:find . -name "*.zip" -execdir unzip '{}' ; -deleteWhat happened was that find continued to extract the files as intended, but then it deletednot only the zip-archives but also the newly extracted files.it only affected a portion of the files that I had already backed up.I don't have enough space on my hard drive to extract all the files without simultaneously removing any data and I don't have the energy to go through all the directories one by one manually. Surely there must be a better way. Is there a way to fix the code snippet above so that it works as I intended or is there a better way of doing this?
