Software :: Open With GDebi Package Installer But It Tells Me It Couldn't Be Opened Because An Unknown Error Occurred?
Nov 26, 2010
I've been having issues with the omega.cert on Pidgin and tried to upgrade to 2.7.7 today. I clicked on the link from the Pidgin site to download the ppa package "pidgin-ppa_0.0.3_all.deb" and tried to open with GDebi Package Installer but it tells me it couldn't be opened because an unknown error occurred.
Whenever I try to change a user full name, through System / Administration / Users and Groups, I get the following error: The configuration could not be saved - An unknown error occurred. Running Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS 64 bit, freshly installed.
I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on xp,but, after waiting around 2 hours per instalation I received a error message that says:" unbuntu installer : and error occurred: coercing to unicode: need string or buffer, none Type found. for more information see log file C:1customerlocals-1 empwubi-10.10-rev197.109. I tried on one particion make just for it then I even tried on xp on C: I even put it on a pendrive but my bios is old and do not provide for usb booting. The other thing I have to try is making a boot cd but for one reason or the other , my recorder do not want to recornized my cds- rw and right now I do not have any regular blank cds . That will be my next step. Note: Ubuntu appears installed on the the control panel "add or removed programs" but not in "all programs" list. I'm a novice on this so maybe the answer was posted but I couldn't find it. Looking ahead to try it and be part of the linux team.

these are are errors i got when i try to open synaptic package manager! this is the list:
Looks like my package manager was severely screwed. Any package manager-related command I try to run results in the following message in the console:
Code:
E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. Anything - aptitude, apt-get.
I removed all my sources.lists, I tried running apt-cache clean It didn't help. This is really serious. Not only am I unable to do anything with packages (update, remove, install), but the machine is really slow because of this.

I downloaded truecrypt Linux version, giving me a file named truecrypt-6.3a-ubuntu-x86.tar.gz. I assume that's the archive. Double clicking on that produced file truecrypt-6.3a-setup-ubuntu-x86. I assume that's the executable. When I try to run that, I get a "could not display ... unknown filetype" error. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I plan to run truecrypt under the easycrypt GUI.
Just did a clean install on my desktop of 10.04. Net was working fine, until I installed GIMP and restarted. A little "NO" symbol pops up next to my wireless indicator, and it tells me to either do an apt-get check from terminal or start the package manager to find out what the problem is...so, I do the apt-get check.
Here's what I get returned from the terminal:
E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I wrote a simple code using Open Inventor(OpenGL) classes to print a Sphere in a .png file.I tested it on Windows and it worked well.But when I run it on Fedora 10, I got the following error with no output .png file:
Coin error in glxglue_init(): Couldn't open NULL display. Coin warning in SoOffscreenRenderer::renderFromBase(): Could not set up an offscreen OpenGL context. Segmentation fault
this error spams about 100 times, then the scanner does indeed work. So I'm not completely broken, but the error messages are of concern, and it slows down the process of scanning for the time it takes to do the messages.

I am trying to write notes for my Spanish class using LaTeX, but having loaded the spanish - babel package, am getting the following error - firdt I give an example code, then the .log file:
I'm logged in as root and want to run Add/Remove Software (Package Installer) but get the message telling me
Code: Running graphical applications as a privileged user should be avoided for security reasons. Package management applications are security sensitive and therefore this application will now close.
How must I install applications? Surely the world is getting paranoid with all this hackers and viruses, because with every new version O/S, the security features gets more and more; up to the point that you can't fricken do and play around with your pc as you would.
I am trying to Install Open Suse 11.3 (burned as an ISO DVD) along with existing Win 2008 R2 OS. When I try to boot from the DVD it just logs in to Win2008 though boot from CD/DVD is enabled in the boot sequence. So i tried to mount the ISO and run from Windows ! BUT I get an error before installation starts telling that Win2008 R2 is not supported in open suse installer! Is there anything I can do to overcome this and install/retain both OS? In fact I am even trying to c hange my win2008 from R2 to Enterprise to see if I can overcome the problem!
I've been using cyrus and sendmail together for a very very long time now. Just recently I upgraded to fedora 13 and now my virtual users can not send email from the /etc/sasldb2 passwords. I get in the /var/log/messages sendmail[31427]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: Unknown error: Its weird that they can still log in and get email from imapd.conf
I even tried re-creating sasldb2 and sasldblistusers2 shows my two users 'one' that is also a local user account and the saslauthd authenticates when sending emails, but the virtual user 'two' can't send just only can log in to receive. /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd is set up as mech=pam. but I don't see how that would be relevant to this issue.
i have installed this Ubuntu in virtual-box running in windows xp. my INTERNET connection is working fine but i m using proxy for that. my problem is that when i want to install something through sudo apt-get install xxxx(whatever) it gives error "Couldn't find package".
Example: #sudo apt-get install wine Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package wine
I am not able to install linux key logger on my ubuntu 10.04 is my os this is the result that i got user36@lib-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install lkl Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package lkl user36@lib-desktop:~$
I tried posting this before and I'm not sure what happened but I don't think it worked, so if it did please forgive the double post.am very very new to centOS and linux in general. I just want to setup a test web server that more closely mirrors our actual web server that is hosted by rackspace. I've installed centOS and tried to setup Apache, PHP and MySQL from a guide on the web using Yum. When I go to localhost in the web browser I'm able to see the default apache page. However when I create a php page it's just blank.When I look at the apache error logs I get this: PHP Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
I've been searching alot on the internet and I know the issue is permission related, but I don't know how to fix it. I've seen some forum posts that say you need to use the chmod 775 command on the /var/www/html folder.Currently when I do ls -l /var/www/html it returns
-rw------- 1 root root 19 May 5 13:16 index.php -rw------- 1 root root 19 May 5 13:15 index.php~
I'm sure that this isn't correct but like I said I don't know much about how to set permissions or who the owner needs to be. I've done alot of searching and seen similar posts, but no one seems to explain it clearly.
