Ubuntu :: Apt Freezes While Updating Base-files_5.0.0ubuntu20_amd64.deb
Jul 25, 2010
Lucid Lynx keeps giving me headaches. This is the second update to bork my system. I update my system daily and yesterday's update (July 24th) simply failed to install. It froze on Unpacking replacement files. I left it running and went out, came back 36 hours later and it was still at the same point.
Killed apt, dpkg, then removed the locks (/var/cache/apt/archives/lock and /var/lib/dpkg/lock), ran sudo dpkg --configure -a, and ran the upgrade again. Again it freezes unpacking base-files_5.0.0ubuntu20_amd64.deb. Killed everything again and tried it from the gui and same result.
My system won't update. And since a kernel update is listed among the things to be updated, I am not going to be able to shut down my computer, lest I can't boot it back up. And since the system now sees the unfinished install, I also cant install any new software. Here's where it freezes.
Code:
Preparing to replace base-files 5.0.0ubuntu20 (using .../base-files_5.0.0ubuntu20_amd64.deb) ...

Ok, so I just finished correcting my driver issue with my wireless card when I'm struck with another problem....after gaining access to the net and updating my packages, ubuntu fails to boot up. It freezes at the boot screen where it runs the 5 orange dots with the ubuntu logo.

I have a 1TB Samsung hard disk placed inside of one of those boxes that transform internal SATA hard disks into an external USB disk. The disk is plugged via USB cable to my home server which runs Debian 5.0.3 and linux kernel 2.6.26-2-686. This disk is used to save some backups and files that we need to access often on different computers of the local network (using WinSCP). Today, something weird is happening. While updating some backups from one Windows Vista box with WinSCP, the connection to the server is lost and all the directories on the disk disappear. The disk kind of freezes.
Checking on system log, I find this:
Jan 3 15:20:06 BOX4 kernel: [675850.568009] __journal_remove_journal_head: freeing b_frozen_data

The disk is not one of those old hard disks, I bought it less than a year ago. I tried to run some diagnostic tools like SMART but self test features and logging is not supported (maybe because it's USB). The disk inside the external box is a SAMSUNG HD103SI. I don't know what to do and we really need this up and running. Also, obviously I mounted it again and tried to perform the SSH backup once again, but it failed again. Another fact that I would like to refer is that I have a second 1TB SAMSUNG HD154UI hard disk which is only used to store movies and music, and is up and running without any problems, so I wouldn't say it's controllers problem.. ! What should I do now?

I have a router that is 1000 Base T and two computers each with ethernet cards that support 1000 Base T. All are equipped with Cat 5e cable. Before I had a router that only went up to 100 Base T and I would setup one box with linux running proftpd. On the other box,I would use win xp pro and use firefox to ftp into the other box and download a file. Download speeds went up to 11.2 MB/sec. Now when I switched routers, I expected something like 120 MB/sec but I'm only getting 5.3 MB/sec. What do I need to change?

We are having a cluster with couple of disk servers, compute nodes and a head node. Disk server is nfs mounted on all the compute and head nodes.
The problem is that if any of the disk servers hangs, it freezes rest of the cluster too which is dangerous. Ideally, cluster should not care about the hanged server and run without any problem except files from that server is not visible.
Is there any way I could avoid the problem of freezing cluster because of one hanged server?

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday and have tried to switch OSS by following the explanation in the community wiki. During OSS4 installation, I got this error message:
Code:
dpkg: error processing oss4-base_4.2-build2002-2_i386.deb (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:

Now I can't complete the installation. I tried to move ossinfo.1.gz file but made no difference.

I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 and Libreoffice 3.3. My Base is very very slow. I've already tried changing the JRE to the Oracle/Sun latest version and the problem is still there. The problem doesn't seem to be in the file, since I can open it on my Windows 7 Libreoffice, without any problems. Solving this bug is important for me to definitely migrate from Windows to Linux.

Everywhere I read, this seems to come up as a very difficult thing. Just want to record how I did it.
In Access, export the table to an Excel Spreadsheet. Using Openoffice, open the Spreadsheet, but save as an Openoffice (.ods) spreadsheet. ( Note - According to the Base help files, if you import an Excel Spreadsheet, it is read-only)
Open Base and Create a database. No tables, no nothing, just create. Now Open this and and also Open the spreadsheet. Select all the data in the spreadsheet, 'copy' it, and in the Database tables area, 'paste' it. I had problems in that it wanted to create a primary key, so added an extra field.
I then went into the database design view, right click on the appropriate field to make that the primary key, and remove the primary key from the unwanted field.
Delete the excess column. This is just for a single flat table, with no linking to other tables. I hope that this helps someone. I did it for a membership database table, and have been able to replicate the query to filter for the Snailmail folks (Those that did not have an email address in the table). Still trying to figure out how to do an envelopes report though.

I was paring down my installation and did a
Code:
apt-get purge gcc-4.2-base and the command more or less threatened to wipe out everything on the server.
Is that the norm, or is it due to a corrupted package database?

Was that the norm or could it be the result of a corrupted package database?

I've recently converted two Ubuntu 10.04 (one 64, one 32bit) machines to LibreOffice. We've used OpenOffice.org since early 2.x The issue is a database file created in OOo and now needing to be accessed in LO. As far as I know, there shouldn't be any issue with file compatibility. On the 64 bit machine, (a Ubuntu server installation - not headless) the file opens with no trouble and is fully accessible. (forms, reports, tables, etc.) However, on the 32 bit machine, trying to access the file over the network on the server via samba (because we also have Windows machines on the network, so I serve it all up via samba) I am able to open the database, but get the following error when trying to access any table, form or report: The connection to the data source "Mattress Prices" could not be
established.

I am currently learning an African language. As I have been learning it, I have put together a dictionary, which I made as an openoffice database, so I could search and edit as necessary. Unfortunately, it now has several thousand entries and grinds to a complete halt if I try and search it. For now I have exported the data into a pdf which means I can look words up, but it doesn'tan alternative programme which would cope better with this much data and be easy to set up? Ideally one I can export my current data into.

i need to know more about openssl.In particular i'm having problems with some basic coammand-line stuff to do with signing and base64 encoding.You'll have to excuse me but i'm a security n00b. What is the command for signing some text file with a given private key and then after that base64 encoding the same file.Can this be done with a single command? what's wrong with:
Code:
openssl rsautl -sign -in textfile -inkey privatekey.pem enc -base64 -in textfile
or should that be:
Code:
openssl rsautl -sign -in textfile -inkey privatekey.pem | openssl enc -base64 -

i'm trying to build a web server but I keep having a problem. Everything loads fine until I get to the "Install base system" part of the installation and it puts up a red screen warning me that the install has failed. My uncle gave me his ubuntu discs and even some different hard drives, but I keep getting the same problem at the same point of the installation. Here is the rundown of everything i did.
System #1 -
ASUS P5G41-M m/b with 4GB memory
Intel Core 2 quad q9300 cpu
two western digital 640GB hard drives
I was testing it out to run a raid 1 just to learn how to make a software raid array. its my first try at making a raid array. The first time i used ubuntu server 10.04 32bit and the system failed at the install base system point. I then used boot n nuke to clean the drives and tried 10.04 64bit. it failed at the same exact point. my uncle gave me 2 western digital 1.0TB hard drives and I tried again. I got the same results. At that point i gave all the hardware back to my uncle and he gave me a server board to try out because he bought it and hasnt touched it. so I built a second system.

I have set up an OpenOffice (3.2) Base database - tables, mainly, and a few queries. The main table contains about 9000 rows and around 50 fields and there is a second table of 1900 rows and 20 fields and a few other tables with either fewer rows or many fewer fields. The primary key on the main table is a single text field. The .odb file is 4.4Mb. There are no Forms or Reports; the idea at the moment is that I enter data using OO's Table data view. I see that I have an embedded HSQL database and I cannot change dit>Database>Properties because it is greyed out.
Opening the database is reasonably quick (about 5 sec) but then when I want to look at any but the smallest of tables (in data Table view) it is very slow (15 sec on the main table) to display the first group of rows. When I want to move to show a different record it takes just as long to display the new set of rows. It makes no difference whether the new set of records is adjacent (in terms of record order) or a long way off. I need to speed this up x3 or more or I will have to abandon Base as impractical to use.
On the OO Forum some posts talk of separating the database from the engine and others of increasing the cache size. I can't do the latter as access is via the greyed out option and I can't find any instructions for the former. I'm not convinced these would have much effect anyway.

I'm trying to install a box with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server with a typical LAMP system in order to replace my old Ubuntu 8.04 server I have at my school to have a "backup" system and also trying to replace NIS authentication with LDAP. Well I'm getting stuck on the first step: installation of base system. I want to build a RAID-1 system with the two 320GB SATA HD's the machine has, I have a little experience in installing RAID because I installed my old 8.04 server with RAID-1 aswell. I boot my box from an USB stick with Ubuntu 10.04 Server 64bit, the systems boots well, asks me about language, keyboard and so, finds the two NIC cards and the DHCP configuration of one of the card is done.
Then it starts the partitioner. One of the HD's already contains three partitions with an installation of a regional flavour of Ubuntu, the other HD only contains a partition for backups, I don't want to preserve all this stuff, so the first thing I do is to replace the partition tables of both HD's with a new one. This is done without problems. Then I go to the first disk, by example, and create a new partition, the partitioner ask me for the size, I write 0.5 GB (or 500 MB), then I select that it has to be a Primary partition at the beginning of the disk, all goes OK.
Once created I go to the "Use as: " line, type Enter and select the option "Partition for RAID volume", when I hit Enter the error appears: the screen flickers in black for a second or two, then it shows a progress bar "Starting the partitioner..." That always get stuck at 47%!!! Sometimes the partitioner allows me progress a little further (for ex. lets me activate the boot bit of the partition, or it allows me to make another partiton, even once the error didn't appeared until the first partition of the second HD!!) but it always get stuck with the same progress bar at the 47%.
I've tried a lot of things: I downloaded again the ISO and rebuilt the USB, same result. Downloaded the ISO and rebuilt the USB from another computer, same result. Unplugged all the SATA and IDE drives except the two HD's, same result. Built a CD-ROM instead of an USB, same result. Downloaded the 10.10 server ISO (not an LTS), and the USB stick can't boot, is another error, but only to try.
When the error appears, I hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 and get into a root prompt, there I kill two processes: /bin/partman and /lib...don'tremember/init.d/35... and then when I return to the first console the progress bar has gone and the install process asks me at wich step I want to return, I hit "Partition disk" and then the progress bar reappears and Stucks immediately at 47%!!! Is the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server installer wrong?

I am using the Ubuntu 7.10 Livecd with some modifications I did, and I wanted to update the base-system to the most recent release of Ubuntu. Once I have chrooted into the custom ISO's root filesystem do I use:
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
or
Code:
aptitude update
aptitude upgrade
or neither?

I am trying to install the gcc package using Ubuntu 9.10, but fail to do so because of an dependency error, which seems to go in a circle. gcc-4.4-base needs libgcc1 before installation, and vice versa. Downloading the recently updated karmic packages did not help.

I'm a Linux newbie and don't know how to do a lot of things. Five months ago, I asked a friend at FreeGeek Columbus to delete the extaneous operating systems from my computer just leaving the one I used, and he accidentally deleted them all. No problem, I'll just reinstall when I get home. But everytime I try to reinstall K/Ubuntu, I get an error message saying
Installation Failed. The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:
[errno 5] Input/output error.
That happens with four Ubuntu installation Cds, three live Ubuntu Cds, one Kubuntu live CD, and one Fedora live CD. I suppose there's a problem with my DVD rom. PCLinuxOS and openSUSE, however, do install, so those are what I've been using (I've only recently ceased with openSUSE, for the time being). Today, however, I got lucky trying out something different. I used an Ubuntu 9.04 alternative CD (not live as they abort when they come to the input/output error message) to install the base system and grub with lvm.
It allows me skip over software installation which is where the input/output error message happens. It boots to a command line. I don't know what commands to use to get the software to install from a mirror, or how to install repositories from the command line. I've never had Kubuntu, per se (only Ubuntu with the KDE desktop); so since PCLinuxOS GNOME 2010 (a rolling distro) is more stable and polished than Ubuntu 9.10, I'd like to fill my base system out with Kubuntu software.
