Ubuntu :: 10.10 - Unable To Open Software Center (Value Error)
Apr 23, 2011
I am not really new to ubuntu since I had it for time now I still don't know a lot about it since I was not really interested in exploring it and probably won't understand some of the terms used so go easy on me. Now, since I have upgraded to ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) (maybe even earlier since I haven't been using it much) I have not been able to open Software Center.
Trying to openit through terminal gave me the following result:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/software-center", line 90, in <module>
app = SoftwareCenterApp(datadir, xapian_base_path, options, args)
File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/app.py", line 145, in __init__
self.history = get_apt_history() .....

SystemError: E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, Eroblem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_i18n _Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
I can't open ubuntu software center and some other applications like rhythmbox music player.when i tried to launch ubuntu software center from terminal says "andreah@andreah-laptop:~$ software-center
My computer crashed awhile and lost windows. so my friends downloaded ubunbu 10.10 for me. from the get go i had this little red "do not enter" like sign at the top. it says An unresolvable problem occured while initiallizing package information. then went on a bit. blash blah blah and had this error message.
'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, Eroblem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu_dists_maverick-security_restricted_binary-amd64_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
i tried the right click, like it suggested. didn't work. i don't know what wrong. i need it for school so i can download adobe so i cant watch videos on stuff to catch up.
When trying to copy my personal address to CouchDB I get this error: Unable to open address book. This address book cannot be opened. This either means that an incorrect URI was entered, or this server is unreachable. Detailed error message: Invalid source
I have been trying (since 10.04!) to sync my Evolution contacts. UbuntuOne seems to be the most promising way of doing that automatically, however, I completely fail at accomplishing this seemingly simple task. I have NEVER been able to successfully back up my address book to UbuntuOne. Note: all other sync works fine. It's just Evolution that is seemingly smarter than I am. Thing I have done to solve the issue:
- Upgraded from 10.04 to 11.04 - All three steps from this article: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/FA...olutionSyncing - Cuss and swear and roll my eyes, mutter a few unrepeatable curse words about Canonical and their mothers.
I've been tasked with transferring a Python web server from a Debian box to a Fedora server for work. (I think) I've been able to transfer all required files but I'm unable to run the web server because whenever I make the HTTPServer call in the python file I get an error "Cannot assign Requested Address".
I've basically traced the issue back to the server being unable to open a socket on the requested port (8085 in this case). I've checked netstat and there are no processes running on that port (or any other one I've tried for that matter) so wondering if there's a system configuration I need to do to allow programs to bind to sockets. Is there a deny configuration set up somewhere I need to modify? Does this even make sense?
I seem to have broken the Ubuntu Software Center by adding the Linux Mint repositories and installing the mint-menu package. When I click on Ubuntu Software Center it changes my cursor and shows it in the windows list for about 10 seconds like it is going to open but never does. I tried removing the mint-menu package and all of the mint packages, I reinstalled software-center andall of the ubuntu keyring packages. Still not able to open the software center.
I have just install 10.10 on my computer, and i can't open ubuntu software center. when i click on it, i see it n task bar, mouse start to roll, but then nothing happens. I've tried to install skype also, same thing.
I placed the DVD in the player's window. Movie Player was installed earlier. When I am trying to play the DVD, it is shown as under. "An error occurred. Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file."
There is an option to play ..... video in totem. But i am unable to play any video. Error shows, "Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file.". I searched google, few suggestions are patches for ......py file, but there is no file named ......py in /usr/lib/totem/plugins/...../ folder.
I'm trying to update the drivers to NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.21.run (GeForce GT 220) but ran into several problems. I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.04. when running sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.21.run /var/log/nvidia-installer.log gives the following errors:
-> Uninstallation of existing driver: NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86 (260.19.21) is complete. -> Searching for conflicting X files: ERROR: Unable to open '/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so' for reading (No such file or directory)
Well after messing with compiz Opacity I managed to make all panels and windows transparent. Only thing I see is desktop background and icons. Tried ctrl+although+f1 and running gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz Then a reboot. Same issue. Next ran metacity --replace I get: Windows manager error: Unable to open X display
I am currently using Xubuntu version 11.04 and I am working with a Radeon HD 4850 graphics card. I am using the proprietary FGLRX drivers from AMD.
I have a small problem. I have two monitors, and in order to tell the computer to use the extra monitor for extra desk space, I have to get into the Administrative CCC. However, when I click on the administrative CCC, nothing happens. It's strange considering that the regular CCC works just fine.
After finally getting libptp2 to compile I find that ptpcam does not work. This has worked perfectly fine before with the same camera using Slackware 12.0, I am now using Slackware 13.1 and ptpcam will simply not work. The error is as follows:
Code:
x86_1# ptpcam -l Listing devices... bus/dev vendorID/prodID device model ERROR: Could not open session! Try to reset the camera.
I have tried to reset with "ptpcam -r", I have also tried to disconnect and reconnect the camera to the USB system, I have tried to reboot the computer, I have tried to use different versions of libptp2 -- all to no avail. The strace shows the issue is apparently a failed ioctl(), although I have no idea why it fails:
I have verified that the camera is working in Windows 7 on the same physical computer and I can see the camera from lsusb and dmesg output when I connect it to the USB system. This system is Slackware 13.1, Linux x86_1 2.6.33.4-smp #2 SMP Wed May 12 22:47:36 CDT 2010 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux.
When I try to open Ubuntu software center, it appears on the process bar for about 10 seconds before it disappears. I can't get it to start.
I have tried alt+f2 and typing 'software-center', didn't help. I tried reinstalling ubuntu software center in Synoptic package manager, but I got this error message: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/software-center_3.0.7_all.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1"
This started to happen after I reinstalled Ubuntu 10.10. After I did that, I got the 'modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.8.custem/modules.deb, no such file or directory.' error. Could these two problems be related in any way?
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 tried creating a virtual server in apache and it got created successfully. (I also added a zone in dns for that domain successfully) However, when I try opening that domain in my browser, I see a popup window which asks me what to do with "default" which is a php file type.
I dont see the index.php which should actually open. What do I do to make the php files display correctly?
when i start an application it usually places it in the upper left corner or lower right corner or something like that.. but never in the middle of my screen. How can I configure GNOME to always open applications in the middle of my screen..?
i am unable to downlaod anything in the software center and here are the error messages There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. when i click on more info i get this
After upgrading to 10.10, I have been unable to use the software center to install. Every time I click 'install', the install progress bar just hangs, reading 'Waiting for apt-get to exit'. The same thing happens when attempting to install upgrades via Update Manager.
I can however update via Synaptic and using 'apt-get upgrade' in the terminal.
I didn't know how to make it fit. Basically, every time I try to install an application through the Ubuntu Software Center, I get an error that says installing the application would require the installation of packages from an untrusted source.
i recently installed mp3blaster. when i tried to play mp3 it showed an error stating "unable to open sound driver" also tried to open aumix file error showed "unable to open aumix driver"
