Ubuntu :: 9.10 - Could Not Find Package Acpid
Mar 9, 2011
When executing the following command
> sudo apt-get install acpid
I get the following response
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package acpid
Its a default install of ubuntu server 9.10 with default sources.list for australia. Its a very old computer though, here are the specs:
Pentium 2, 333MHz
Motherboard Chipset Intel 82440LX/EX
ACPI is : Not Supported according to some system detection software I have, is that the reason?
Is there another way to get the computer to shutdown safely when the powerbutton is pressed, instead of power loss occurring?

I have followed this guide to setup automatic screen rotation on a fresh installation of Maverick on a Lenovo X200t. This involves creating the file:
Code:
$cat /etc/acpi/events/x200t-swivel-down
# /etc/acpi/events/x200t-swivel-down
# called when tablet head swivels down
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00005009
action=/etc/acpi/x200t-swivel-down.sh
and the script
Code:
$cat /etc/acpi/x200t-swivel-down.sh
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/xrandr -o inverted
touch /home/nikos/Desktop/swivel-down
xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet stylus" Rotate half
xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet touch" Rotate half
xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet eraser" Rotate half
(similar for swivel-up)
What I find strange:
- calling the script with ./x200t-swivel-down.sh works (both with and without sudo).
- rotating the screen to tablet mode only executes the touch commands (which I entered for debugging)
Obviously, the acpi event is registered correctly and reacted upon. Just why are the xrandr and xsetwacom commands ignored?

I've install FC14 on my iMac 27" i7 and I'm having exactly the same issue I had with Ubuntu 10.10: acpid eats 90% of one Core all the time.With Ubuntu this issue was solved by updating but with FC14 no way, I can't find any solution.Right now I've turned off acpi and apm at boot time but this only let me use one of my four Cores.

Just migrated to stretch, and noticed we're not using acpid anymore. Had couple of scripts at /etc/acpi/events listening for some events. What would be the alternative with systemd?

On my 32-bit 10.04 system, I'm trying to run a tcl script that uses tk ("package require Tk") but I'm always getting this error:
can't find package Tk
while executing
"package require Tk"
tcl version is 8.5 whilst tk is 8.4.16-2 and tklib is 0.5-2. It seems that tcl is not able to find tklib so I wonder if there is a way to tell tll where to find the package.

I couldn't find an amd64 version of the package I wanted, so I forced the architecture on the i386 version I found. (The package in question is xinput-calibrator, so that I can finally get my touchscreen to work.) I later found and added the repository that has the 64 version and tried to install it. It won't install the 64 version because I already have the i386 version. But it also won't let me remove the i386 version.

I followed this procedure before installation (live CD) and it successfully found and installed the firmware. Apparently it was saved in live CD. What do I need to do?

Despite using Linux for a while I'm only just getting a taste of managing my very own system so please be gentle!
After trying a `blind' sudo apt-get install acroread which was unsuccessful I tried installing using the synaptic package manager, and couldn't find it in there either.
According to the software sources info I have both Universe and Multiverse switched on. I'm fairly sure one of my attempted permutations of `acro', `reader' and `acrobat' etc should have hit upon something so I assume there must be something more fundamental wrong!

A while back a disk error caused /var/lib/dpkg/status to go south - completely corrupted. I managed to rebuild it with the help of a script i found online, but now there's a package called libghc6-edison in limbo on my install. It has no sources, as it was custom built, and i cant seem to find the references to this thing. Apt cache shows that it exists, synaptic gives me an error in CLI every time i launch it referring to this package -Traceback (most recent call last):
I've tried grepping all the files in /var/lib/dpkg to no avail. Any ideas where else this information could be stored? i need to find all the references to the package and purge them. It seems to preven me from successfully pulling off a do-release-upgrade (in a VM for testing) as well as doing a remastersys dist (have to do remastersys backup instead).
The package was never available in Lucid, if i remember correctly, i had to compile it myself and debianize it, but i cant seem to find the sources on my build VM or anywhere in the installed end-product OS.

I have a HP laptop, and recently I configured the Remote Control to control the sound, and make a funny joke when a curious friend press the Power button in the remote control. To make this work, I want to make a shell script that calls a dialog, not a console dialog, but a GTK dialog. Then I tried to install the package "xdialog", that is no longer present on the official repositories, and I tried to find a similar package, but no success. What comes closest is "dialog", but this shows only a console dialog.

Linux noob, and I'm trying to install a little program on my rootserver, but it requires libboost and libboost-dev. Unfortunately ubuntu can't seem to find the packages and google does not help either. The only info I found was telling me to install "gnuradio" or something, which takes up 138 mb. So, how can I install these packages now?also: I cancelled the installation of gnuradio via "CTRL+C", will this cause any problems? Are there some trash files left on the system now?

How do I find which "software source" provided a package that I installed? Some weeks ago, I installed linux-realtime. A collaborator is trying to mirror my setup and looked for that package, but it isn't in the default software sources. So, I need to tell him where I got it.
