I am running Jolicloud on my netbook (which I believe is an Ubuntu derivative) and I am tried to enter the getdeb.net sources in so I can install apps from the website through APT but
1) When I entered the sources into sources.list and then the key into Terminal and then went to the site and tried to install an app it didn't work.
2) I deleted the line of code in the sources.list file and when I opened terminal and entered "sudo apt-get update" it showed the list of sources, but on the list were Getdeb.net sources.
My question is how do I delete sources that aren't in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
I've got the following problem: I just noticed that there were just very few notifications about updating the system (usually there are damn many of them in a week) So I opened the update manager and clicked on "refresh list". The following result popped up: p,li{white-space:pre-wrap;}E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found First I thought, it would be just some kind of server problem, but it didn't stop. The next thing was to research the thread and I even found something. However, the solution suggested didn't work at all. (Things, which might have caused this: I installed the default software center |I'm using Kubuntu, but in this case that fact doesn't matter| and used it. To sum up:
- not able to update the system referring to the launchpad main sources for 11.04
- following error: E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found It would be great if this was a common issue and I've been simply too stupid to find a proper solution. So you could just post the link.
Some reason i can't update my sources no matter how many servers i try to update it from it does not work i tryed alot of things like update manager and synaptic package manager and terminal to update but nothing is not working
Could not download all repository indexes
The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.
i can get on the internet fine but the update manager has not worked for 12 days code...
I'm trying to update my sources so that I can download some software.I am running Ubuntu 7.04. In another post, I was given this link for updating my source list. [URL]I have download quite a few files from this ftp, I've manually edited my sources list, and by sheer luck my system is still running. what steps I need to take in order to update my sources?
View 9 Replies View RelatedJust leads to a list of packages. Are these taken down and installed if needed? I take it these are installed from main component right?Is this just to let people know there's a new version in main? If you didn't have "deb http://security.debian.org/ distrib/updates main", wouldn't the updates be pulled from "deb http://whatever/debian distrib main" anyway when you did an apt-get update (by logical reasoning that they'd be new?)
Or is it that you can't detect new versions directly from main and you need the updates package to point out which ones have updated versions?
My friend has an ubuntu 810 machine and he wants to remove it and install debian on that.Instead of cleaning and installing, I thought why not change the sources.list and do a dist-upgrade to debian. In case it is required, I dont mind purging packages like x or desktop etc. from ubuntu to make it thin before upgrading to debian.Has anyone tried this approach instead of a clean install?

I have updated from 9.10 to 10.04 on line via Update Manager. Update Manager messed up my sources. Blocked most of them on update. I unblicked them and changed everything to Lucid from Karmic. No luck. Errors all the time:
Code:
W: GPG error: [URL] lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5
W: GPG error: [URL] Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5
W: GPG error: [URL] Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5
I cannot add gpg keys and use for example canonical.
Is there a complete mirror list you can choose from the command line. There is good way doing it from Administration > Software Sources. However.. if you don't have X.. is there an easy way to choose between different sources(mirrors) without editing the sources.lst manually, but choosing for example main mirror or some other faster one let's say in your region?

On checking for updates, I get the error message:W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.uoregon.edu/ubuntu/arc...ty/Release.gpg Could not connect to 69.219.142.196:21 (69.219.142.196). - connect (111 Connection refused)W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.uoregon.edu/ubuntu/arc...tion-en_US.bz2 Could not connect to 69.219.142.196:21 (69.219.142.196). - connect (111 Connection refused)(more...)This used to work, but now it doesn't. I tried selecting all kinds of different sources in the "Software Sources" GUI. And this seemed to change my /etc/sources.list accordingly. But, whatever the hostname given (above mirror.uoregon...), that same IP address is shown 69.219.... huh? I can browse the web, etc fine from this computer

At that time, running apt-get update would tell me that some of my sources couldn't get accessed to and that older file would be used. I checked it out and I found lots of sources refering to Feisty. here how it looked like:

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and at some point I realised that the Update manager application will not open when I click on it the hard drive spin a little but nothing happens.I realized that the Software sources et Hardware drivers apps are in the same states. I was not able to see after what operation/installation I did that I they stop working.I am a beginner with Linux, and I feel that if I reinstall I will fall into the same hole .

The PowerPC does no longer receive commercial support form Canonical. How do I update /etc/apt/sources.list. My goal is to change deb [url]... to [url], using find and replace.
Found something at [url], oh no false alarm! This thread does not explain how to change the /etc/apt/source.list either. I know what to change but do not know how.
It started with Update Manager constantly recycling and not updating. When it starts it shows 295 files and 308MB waiting to download. When I click on 'Install Updates' it appears to go through the process, and then presents me with the same 'waiting to install' window again - and again, and again - in fact as many times as I care to click the 'Install Updates' button. No error messages appear. The 'Settings' button produces the same apparent process as the 'Install Updates' button, but doesn't present me with any other screen.
I've tried all the solutions I could find on these forums and nothing works. The sudo suggestions for Terminal usually produce error codes. adjusting a line in the 'hosts' file. When I tried this I was presented with the obstacle of not having access to the read-only file, and no matter how much I searched I couldn't find how to gain access . While investigating all these possible solutions, I was directed in turn to the Software Sources and Synaptic Package Manager applications, but when I attempted to start them, 'Starting Administrative Application' appeared briefly on the taskbar - and then disappeared!
i hav installed fedora 13 two days ago.can anyone let me know the sources available that describes the in and out of fedora
View 1 Replies View RelatedBuilding an nVidia driver requires sources for the currently-running kernel. In my case (Fedora 12), it is, according to 'uname -a',
2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686
I thought I could get the sources with 'yum install kernel-sources', but there is no such package. Then I tried 'yum install kernel-devel'. That package exists, but the kernel is
2.6.32.9-67.fc12.i686
This is clearly not the correct version.

I am having a LAN connection with a proxy server but i checked those things in it and of course I was able to do updates in ubuntu
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am curious that if I change the sources list to include "stable" instead of "lenny" (for the Lenny release, for example) will my system upgrade to the Squeeze sources when Debian Squeeze becomes the new stable and Lenny is the oldstable? I'm brand-spanking-new to Debian and I love stability (for my workstation) but I also need a lot of features that are only available with some newer packages. I plan on having to compile a lot of packages from source but I would really like to be able to ignore making changes to my sources list. Will changing "lenny" to "stable" make this work?
View 10 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to get a package via yum that has the kernel sources? In the "Add/Remove Software" GUI program, I have enabled the "Fedora source" s/w repository. Even then, the only kernel package I can find is the "The Linux Kernel", linux-2.6.27.15-170... which essentially provides only the kernel binaries and headers but not the source.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just installed Fedora 13 today, everything is working including the internet. However, when I try to get more programs it says that it cannot find the sources, and a cache reload will fix it. I wasn't sure at first what that ment, being a begginer, but I think it means going into system-refresh package lists. So I do that,ut it still wont give me the program list. I'm really confused, I come from using windows computers and I don't know what to do now, me be a little clearer, when I click on one of the catagores to find software, nothing comes up but the defalt packages that come with the system. I go into the system-Software menu, and there are no boxes cheked. I thought that this maybe to problem, so I try to cheak the top box labled without parentheses "Fedora 13 - 1386". It tells me to authenticate my action and tells me to type the root password, I do this. Then it shows the screen below. I'm running a 32 bit system,
