Software :: No Access To Synaptic In Ubuntu 10.10?
Jan 31, 2011
I just made something stupid while downloading Skype, and as a result Synaptic Package manager don't open, it tells me that "gksudo" is unknown on line 1 in sources list and tells me to go there and fix it.Ubuntu software center is equally kicking my ass. I went to /etc/apt/sources list and tried to remove "gksudo... but could not. Can anybody tell me what to do when the message reads: "the list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem".

I'm having all kind of problems with my ubuntu 10.04 which I updated to from the 9.10. I'm doing a clean install so I'd like to have this very clear. Right now I have three users:
1-the administrator
2-the one I use for music production
3-a general one.
The only one in which I can access synaptic is user 1. My question is: is there a way I can access to synaptic from the other users? I thought that you picked an admin password and if you were on a non admin account, by typing it you could use synaptic.

I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 in my new netbook. I ran synaptic once, and pressed the refresh button. But while the package list was being downloaded, I tried to moved to a better location to get a better wifi signal, and my connection quit.
I tried again, but this time I had logged in to a network that had no Internet connection automatically. I tried downloading the package list again, before realizing I was logged on to the wrong network.
I logged on the correct network and tried again. Synaptic gives me the following message. There is not way through this. When I close the message synaptic quits.
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_bina ry-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
What's going on? How can I fix this?

i cannot access synaptic package manager. It asks for my password and then when i enter it synaptic starts to load and gives me this error message:E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I tried entering the command listed in the terminal and got an error. Anyone know how to fix this so i can launch synaptic again?

I have no idea how I did it. All of a sudden I couldn't access synaptic so I restarted my system and the login screen wouldn't show up. I tried dpkg --configure -a and sudo apt-get install -f. I can't access my system at all.

I can't download anything using Synaptic or the Ubuntu software center. I'm trying to download Filezilla.
I can access the web and go to websites.
Gufw is not enabled and I've disabled iptables
Here's the error message I get with Synaptic;
W: Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/poo...etdeb1_all.deb 404 Not Found

Ubuntu 9.10. System has been running fine for months. Today, tried to run Synaptic and get the following error: 'Failed to run /usr/bin/synaptic as root - unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file' Where invoking synaptic used to ask me for my password, it now gives the above error message. What I did today was change grub so that I boot to the command line instead of the gui. That worked fine and I can invoke the gui with startx as a normal user. sudo apt-get works OK from the command line.

From four days each time I reload Synaptic, I got the following error:
Code:
W: Failed to fetch [URL]. Could not resolve 'repository.cairo-dock.org'
W: Failed to fetch [URL]. Could not resolve 'repository.cairo-dock.org'
W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I can not understand what is it. Is it a temporary network problem? What I have to do?

Whenever I try to install any new software using package manager, software center or apt-get, it gets stuck at Downloading for almost a minute and then the download starts. No problems with the net connections-a high speed connection to backbone through a firewall. It occurs even while updating the package repos.

I have 2 new repos that are listed in my sources.list file. They are also visible in System/Administration/Software Sources/Other Software. However, they are not visible under the Origins tab in Synaptic. And how would I download from them if Synaptic doesn't see them?

Took an emachines T3265 with Win XP home and used 9.04 DVD (from Ubuntu book) to wipe out the Win XP and then install 9,04 over the entire hard drive. I then upgraded to 9.10 using the option on update manager. I gave my normal logon all privileges, but I can use synaptic and other functions such as changing update parameters w/o logging on as root. If attempt same from my logon, PC crashes.

E: nvidia-185-kernel-source: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
E: nvidia-glx-185: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
I'm not sure what other information to post.I believe I'm using the nvidia 190 file, but I've tried to remove 185 and that made me have to boot up in "low graphics mode."

Anyone know what it's listed under?9.10 Karmic Koala..I'm customising all my preferred aps and use the amazing VLC for videos, I don't want 'Movie Player' there, but I can't find it in Synaptic to delete it and want it gone, not just the shortcut deleted.
Whilst discussing preferred aps, I can also highly recommend ditching Firefox and Evolution for Opera; more features, faster browsing, handles plugin videos better (no greying out), has a built in mail client so everything's in one place, etc. Tried just about every other browser, always go back to Opera.

Is it possible to install a local .deb package with synaptic package manager? I managed to trash network-manager-gnome removing it by mistake instead of a package with a similar name..... oops. So now have no network connections. I downloaded the following file network-manager-gnome_0.8~a~git.20091014t134532.4033e62-0ubuntu1_i386.deb via a computer with a net connection. and now have it on a usb key. Can I point the synaptic package manager to the local package and install like that, or do I have to do it via the console. I also have my original Karmic 9.10 disk, which I imagine has the package on as well. Is there a way to add it via the system installer?

I am a relatively new user of Ubuntu and I have a question about Django 1.2 (and now we're up to 1.2.1). I currently have Django 1.1.1 installed via Synaptic.
-Generally, how long would it take for 1.2.1 to appear in a package that I can download via Synaptic?
-If I were to uninstall ver 1.1.1 and manually install ver 1.2.1, would it get installed in the same location that Synaptic installs it?

I recently installed the KDE and xface desktops out of curiosity but now I'm left with a massive amount of extra Apps, some that I want and some I don't. When I try marking some to remove in Synaptic, it comes up with a bunch of others that will be marked. Is it possible to remove them just one by one with out any extras being marked for removal as well?

I installed 2.6.34 and no longer need 2.6.32-21. When I go into the package manager and mark it for removal...It looks like it tries to install 2.6.32-22 and 2.6.32-22 Generic and then upgrade Linux-headers-generic.

For example you go to the synaptic and you delete some programs.And then you make a mistake you delete some another program which is tied to the system. If i go in terminaland i write sudo apt-get install --fix-missing will be installed back the program which was deleted by mistake?
