Ubuntu :: Belachbit-bonus Is Installing From .deb But Not From Repos?
Sep 15, 2010
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit. I installed from repos the Bleachbit. But when i try to install the bonus package it writes : "Sorry, 'bleachbit-bonus' is not available for this type of computer (i386)." But i can install the bonus package properly (and it works) by downloading from official web site of Bleachbit. But now i have to install manually when updating the bleachbit-bonus, also i am not sure if it is stable my system because of this error which i get from "software center" of Ubuntu 10.04 (which is full updated).
is it possible to install programs present on one computer on another computer by transferring package files? For example, let's say I've installed Thunderbird on one Ubuntu machine. Would I be able to install thunderbird on another computer by copying some files from the first computer?
I borked (broke) my install of Fedora 12 I have an Nvidia 6600 GT AGP card. I was using the Mesa driver. I wanted something better so I tried installing Nvidia's propriety driver from the RPMFuzion repos. Everything seemed to go fine until I tried restarting the computer. It shows the F logo in a balloon type circle filling up and then goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left corner and stays that way. If I press F2 when Fedora is starting then I see a list of what is happening. It gets to the point of ''Starting atd.........OK'' and then it stops and the screen starts flashing. Curiously, earlier in the list it shows that the Nvidia driver starts OK.
If I had to guess I'd say that the xorg.conf file has some setting in it that isn't working with the Nvidia driver. But I have no idea how to get to a prompt so that I can go to the folder containing the xorg.conf file and rebuild the file. Or, if you know better than that and know what I've really done then I'm listening.
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?
I have a laptop with a wireless that needs a driver from what I've read;
Code: apt-get install b43-fwcutter I should be able to plug it in (ethernet) & get it to work but it occurred to me that what if the ethernet didn't work either. So my question is how could I get the files that command would download to my desktop onto a disk so i could manually install it onto the laptop?
I produce a lot of work under Drupal, Wordpress and Moin. Previously I have always downloaded the software packages for these from the developers website and installed it manually. When I install it manually it is fairly easy to see where files and directories have been created and I just get on with the projects.I've just noticed that the above three packages are available in the repositories. Is it better to install from the repositories or manually with this kind of software?
The reason I ask is because a software package like Gimp just appears in my start menu so I naturally would download it from the repo. But if I download something like Wordpress I can see it is installed through synaptic but does it actually produce any new directories or files in somewhere like /var/www? I'm not sure how I would access the software once it is installed. The W3 Validator for instance, I downloaded in 8.10 but although it was showing installed there was no obvious way to access it.
Not sure where to ask but can we get teamspeak 3 in the repo ? Version 2 is not used anymore and the people over at [URL].. said it was ok to add it to our repo as long as we do not modify it.
This happened when I was reloading my repos using synaptic on Ubuntu 10.10. How do I fix this?

Is this in a PPA yet? I see a tarball on the Mozilla site but hate tarball installs if I can do it through a package. I just ran the Update Manager and the Firefox (Namoroka) link in my menu is 3.6.x.
I'm running Minefield right now from the bleeding-edge repos and would prefer to switch to FF4 stable... is there an (easy) way to do that and keep my settings and add-ons?
I would like to add more apt repos to my software sources. The system I want to do this on is Backtrack 4, but I also am running ubuntu on another system as well, 10.04. I have the standard ones already, as well as the google repo.
I've noticed a couple of times having comments about mplayer being outdated or that it needs updated since I installed Lucid a couple days ago. Anybody else having this issue? Or having trouble with mplayer?
How come mozilla lightning did not made into the repos for Lucid? My only chance is to download it from mozilla? I am using Lucid 32 bits. So. I did it, downloaded lightning-1.0b1-tb+sm-linux.xpi and installed fine: Code: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100423 Lightning/1.0b1 Thunderbird/3.0.4 However, none of the calendar functions are working, calendar itself opens, but no grid lines are displayed. When I click on an invitation for an event, nothing is shown as body, no options to accept or decline, and the message is not marked as read. How can I workaround it? I tried mozilla daily ppa but no luck, erased .thunderbird profile, no luck. What else can I try?
I wanted to install opera browser (not that I like it) in my new lucid (updated from karmic) but the package is not in the repos. I also need libmysqlclient15off as a dependency for mysql-workbench but is also missing from lucid repos.
However, they are in the karmic repos. So, what should I do? I could download de debs and install them but my question is whether they should be available in lucid repos and if the'll be.
Some of the programs that I can install from the repos are outdated. Particularly, Amarok. In the repos 2.3.0 is available and I need 2.3.1 to fix a bug that's occurring on my system. How do accomplish this without having duplicates on the system along with any such error that might complicate the functioning of Amarok.
I am making a backup of ubuntu repos using debmirror. but i excluded lucid-security lucid-updates and lucid-backports. i selected dist=lucid and downloaded main,multiverse,universe and restricted. if i dont download updates, secuirty and backports am missing anything important. i am into development
I need a program that can be configured to detect new/updated files in my home directory and make a copy off these files to a truecrpyt encrypted external hard drive. Does such a program exist in the repos-and a good one too if possible-i dont want my drive becoming corrupted or the program missing files to copy etc
I am looking to upgrade a box of mine using command line only. I am going from 10.04 to 10.10 and have changed all instances of lucid to maverick within the sources.list file but now I don't want to continue until I can be safe to upgrade by disabling the third-party repos. How can I disable these using the command line? Should I just move the sources.list.d folder? Any other ways I'm missing?
I just recently installed ubuntu server on a PC that'll be our home server. I got it connected to the network but I can't update the repos with apt or aptitude. It stops at something about [URL] How do I fix this? I need to install software
We use an authenticated proxy in my university.I am not able to add repos by sudo apt-get-add-repository.I get the following error(for firefox for example) Error reading https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~mozil.../firefox-next: <urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused>
I have tried ti change the port by this method[URL].. But it didn't work out.apt-get update and upgrade work fine.Adding repos worked fine at home. Kinda new to Ubuntu(really loving it by the way),so please give a bit elaborate explanations
I've got a server running on some old hardware miles away from me, to convert to a newer version seems counter-productive as I'm happy with what's there, just want to add a few packages, but yum can't find the repos - have they been totally removed or are they still mirrored somewhere?
I accidently deleted every file in /etc/yum.repos.d. I would be very glad if anyone could send me the default configuration for the default repositories. I am stuck very badly. Can't download/update using yum. If you could send me your entire yum.repos.d folder there would be nothing like it.
I am running Lucid in my Apple iBook of course powerpc architecture and due to firefox's cruel treat on my CPU, I want to install opera which I am told is a bit lightweiht and friendly on CPU.I tried sudo "apt-get install opera" and I got "the package opera does not have an installation candidate .... and so forth....", I visited the opera for powerpc download page and I couldn't see Ubuntu among the listed OS'ses. I am not sure what to do? Is their an option coz I love firefox but my iBook wont stand it without the 100% CPU usage.
I have searched on the internet but didn't manage to find out how to flag 3rd party repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/50unattended-upgrades. It installs all updates from the stock Ubuntu repos but none from 3rd party repositories I later added (e.g. Chromium PPA, Skype, etc.). I understand I have to manually add the lines but I'm not sure what's the format for this. How to do this? Here's how my 50unattended-upgrades file looks like:
Code: // Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin, archive) pairs Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins { "Ubuntu karmic-security"; "Ubuntu karmic-updates"; };
// List of packages to not update Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist { //"vim"; //"libc6"; //"libc6-dev"; //"libc6-i686"; };
// Send email to this address for problems or packages upgrades. If empty or unset then no email is sent, make sure that you have a working mail setup on your system. The package 'mailx' must be installed or anything that provides /usr/bin/mail. //Unattended-Upgrade::Mail "root@localhost"; // Automatically reboot *WITHOUT CONFIRMATION* if a // the file /var/run/reboot-required is found after the upgrade //Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "false";
I finally managed to convince my dad to try Ubuntu and installed maverick in his desktop .I myself am new to Linux(6 months old) and found the experience refreshing.Now in my dads computer although I have enabled the universe repos neither the synaptic or the software center or the apt-get seem to be able to access them.Here is my /etc/apt/source.list.
## deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)]/ maverick main restricted # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution.
I have local repo as well the debian official repos enabled in the apt sources.list, but when i run the aptitude to install some packages, it doesn't use the local repo and downloading the same version of package again that is already present in the local repo, this is my local repo url: [URL]
