I am preparing everything that I will be using in my fourth year project which is based on the grid computing concept. My problem is that before I installed ubuntu 10.10, I was using 9.10. And in my previous version (9.10) I was able to install condor through the synaptic package manager comfortably,but after upgrading to version 10.10 am getting the following error after installing condor: "E:condor:subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127"
I read that passwd -S spits out informationabout a user's password including the encryption algorithm used to encrypt the password in /etc/shadow. I ran the command but nothing about the algorithm is returned. Is this a quirk in openSUSE?On another note, I've determined through other means that I've selected blowfishryption as evidenced by the $2blah$2blahblah format of the /etc/shadow entry. However, if I look at /etc/default/passwd it lists CRYPT=md5. If I'm using blowfish why would that variable be set to md5. onversely, if it is set to md5 why is the blowfish algorithm being invoked?
I am getting "child returned status 1" error when I try to tar some downloaded files. This is what I do: tar xvzf nagios-2.10.tar.gz (I downloaded this file)
it's a hot day and nothing seems to be going right. Trying to figure a way out of this one - error 127. Looks like it could be Metacity problem? There a couple of pythons that also have a problem.
Code: (Reading database ... 145089 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace metacity-common 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu1 (using .../metacity-
I have been having the worst time trying to get sametime messenger from IBM to install properly. I had it working fine for the last 6 months and yesterday I accidently updated and it all went to {1134}. I seem to have found dkms to be the source of the problem.
I get an exit 0 regardless of whether or not its install or uninstall. I have managed to get pidgin to work for now, but it is no means ideal for my purposes.
I kept getting this... rastlosen@rastlosen-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install sametime-connect [sudo] password for rastlosen: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
I am trying to install Matlab v. 7.10 on my Ubuntu machine. I was able to successfully download the necessary files. However, when I attempt to install using ' ./install ', I get the following error message: Finished extracting ftp files. Starting installer ... An error status was returned by the program 'xsetup', the X Window System version of 'install'.
The following essages were written to standard error: /home/user1/mathworks_downloads/update/install/main.sh: 178: /home/user1/mathworks_downloads/update/bin/glnxa64/xsetup: not found Attempt to fix the problem and try again. If X is not available or 'xsetup' cannot be made to work then try the terminal version of 'install' using the command: install* -t or INSTALL* -t Sorry! Setup aborted . . .
I tried using the command instal* -t, as recommended by the program, but then I get this error message: Finished extracting ftp files.

Everytime I install a package or use update manager I get the following message.

I met some problems with installation of Matlab2010a for Unix.My edition of ubuntu is 10.04 and I downloaded an iso file of ubuntu and extract that in this document: /home/edwardli/temp/Mathworks.Matlab.R2010a.UNIX/
when I start to install, it showed :

I'm working on a friend's Samsung R530, Intel Core i3 3330M (T430) processor. It had Windows 7 installed, which crashed so I'm trying to recover the files before installing Ubuntu (the recovery partition is gone, there was no facility for making recovery disks and Samsung won't send any out). I put in the Live CD for 10.04 which took ages to load and then gave me the following error message:
udevd (90): worker (181) unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100 udevd (90): worker [180] failed while handling '/devices/pci 0000:00/0000:00:00:00'
which was repeated for [182] and [230] then it all went blank for ages then I got a message saying eject the cd and press enter, just like you do at the end of an install. However, I didn't get an option on whether to boot from the cd or install ubuntu. anyone got any clue what the error message means? and am I correct in thinking that the cd tried to install ubuntu? I've tried 3 different live cds, all of which have previously worked on other machines so I'm pretty sure it's not a cd issue.
But I can't get a single one of them to boot from cd and all throw up the same error messages, except the 9.04 cd, which just hangs. Have also tried a USB live image and got a disk error message. When I try booting from the HDD I get OS not found, boot from cd. Which is not entirely unexpected because of the previous problem with windows but it also seems that Ubuntu hasn't actually installed, or if it has then there's been a problem and it hasn't done it properly.
i have a problem and it's been persisting since i installes MST Core fonts.
terminal log is here:

I have had no problems with downloading/installing updates and programs, and everything worked fine. Until memtest came along. It ran by itself (I think my dad made it the first boot option in grub), and now if I try to install any packages or programs, it will either say "Grub installation failed" or that any packages I tried to install failed. If I removed memtest, would that make it possible for me to install stuff again? Or is there a way to work around it?the main error report I get is: "E: memtest86+: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 127"
From the Synaptic Package Manager, I searched for HL-1440. There were two files appeared: (1) brother-lpr-drivers-laser1, and (2) brother-cups-wrapper-laser1. When I marked (1) for installation, (2) was automatically selected. After I applied the files for installation, I received this error: "E: hl1440lpr: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 126." What should I do? I am still learning Linux/Ubuntu and really don't have much experience with this.
I've installed wine on my laptop and it runs fine. Although it seems something happened while installing it (via apt-get install), because everytime I use apt-get untill then I get the following in my terminal:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
I dont know how to put this that somobody would understand my problem but here we go. I have problem like said in title.I am unable to upgrade my kernel. Sunaptics says that I have 2.6.35-28 installed. I tried to reinstall 2.6.35-28 via synaptics but it gives me error.
Thats what uname -a says:

I went into Synaptics Package Manager and told it to uninstall WINE in case that was what was causing the problems. It sort of half-uninstalled-it then gave me that exact same error message.I have two threads currently open on the forums - adjusting laptop brightness and flashing BIOS - and both problems hit a brick wall because of this same error message.
i use Newsbin and after installing 11.3 and copying my datafiles from newsbin over, there is a tendency that my desktop freezes up. The only thing working is the mouse, but unable to click anything. Keyboard is death at the point. Is there a logfile from the system that let me see the problem? Did not have freezes with 11.2.
I was updating all the installed packages on my system yesterday via YAST. The package manager seemed to hang when downloading a small update for YAST itself (related to ncurses, I think) so I hit the abort button. The package manager quit but now it doesn't work. Trying to start the software management module (Qt version) give me the following error: UI Syntax Error Couldn't load plug-in qt-pkg Check the log file!
So I then tried the console version of YAST. The software management module doesn't work here either. It give me the following error: UI Syntax Error Couldn't load plug-in ncurses_pkg Check the log file!
I Googled a bit and came to the conclusion that for the second error I should try the following command: zypper install yast2-ncurses-pkg But this just gives me another error: zypper: error while loading shared libraries: libzypp.so.619: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So now it appears that both YAST and zypper are corrupt!
Wondering if any one else is having this problem lately under 11.4. My Skype does not want to launch any more. When I click to open Skype, the tray icon will pop up for 1 second and then just disappear. Have tried launching from command line to see if there are any messages, but it just says aborted when you try launch it.
I noticed this started happening randomly when I had the laptop in hibernate and then would resume, Skype would then just disappear and then I would just relaunch it and it would be find again.
