I can't download anything using Synaptic or the Ubuntu software center. I'm trying to download Filezilla.
I can access the web and go to websites.
Gufw is not enabled and I've disabled iptables
Here's the error message I get with Synaptic;
W: Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/poo...etdeb1_all.deb 404 Not Found
Whenever I try to install any new software using package manager, software center or apt-get, it gets stuck at Downloading for almost a minute and then the download starts. No problems with the net connections-a high speed connection to backbone through a firewall. It occurs even while updating the package repos.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI installed Netbeans using the Synaptic GUI and it worked ok. Netbeans is now corrupted. I used the Synaptic GUI to completely remove it. That worked. I used the Synaptic GUI to download it again. It claimed to do it in 2 seconds and it is back to my corrupted Netbeans and practice projects. Obviously an efficiency move to reduce downloads because it was already archived somewhere by Synaptic.
How can I make the Synaptic GUI really download all of Netbeans again? I am not going to attempt to solve Netbeans mysteries. If there is no easy way to make the Synaptic GUI download, I will reinstall Wndows XP and my software for it, bring them up to date and reinstall Ubuntu 10.10 on another partition, bring it up to date and reinstall Netbeans. The only advantage of that method is that it works.
I isntalled Ubuntu 10.04 LTS in a dual boot configuration with Windows 7 (new i5 desktop, 8 GB DDR3) , and after a few gliches solved, Ubuntu runs. The problem I have is when I try to install software with the Synaptic Package Manager, no packages can be downloaded. Also, after I attempt this, no other software can connect to the Internet (even if that software was able to connect before). Rebooting restores connectivity.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded and installed programs and cannot find them. today it was k3b and k9copy. i even reinstalled them just in case. synaptic completes the process, but i can't find the programs on any menu. my command-line skills (though improving) are lacking. i've used ubuntu numerous times before and the programs of that type would always show on the 'sound & video' menu automatically. i'm considering the possibility that my installation is faulty.

E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
E:Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
Every time I close this window synaptic package manager also closes. When I try to download flash player directly from the adobe web page, synaptic refuses to cooperate. I am now stuck as I can't delete this or download anything else.Computer janitor won,t delete it either.Also when I go applications>ubuntu software centre, everything I try to download comes up with Not available in this critical data.I can see this is going to be a very steep learning curve.
I am at a university where my bandwidth is severely capped. I can start several other computers near me and download at the limited speed simultaneously. Is there any way for me to share the download between the computers to get the cumulative speed?

View 5 Replies View RelatedHere at home I have several Ubuntu installations, mine, the kids computers and a couple of laptops. What I'm looking for is a solution or a pointer in the right direction to setup on our local Ubuntu server a sort of cache. Each day each Ubuntu on the network, checks for updates and downloads, and installs. What I'm looking for is a way for one machine to download the update and then the others to download from the local resource.
A sort of local cache to try and minimise everyone downloading straight from the net for pretty much the same updates. I did a emerge cache many years ago when I was using Gentoo, so I'm wondering what I can use/do here with Ubuntu as we are all loving this distro now.
can we use recursive download of wget to download all the wallpapers on a web page?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI haved tried 3 times to download DVD-7 from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...md64/jigdo-dvd, and every time it has failed with just 5 files left to download.
It says:
I cannot begin to describe. All those hours of downloading for nothing! What the heck is happening here? When I try to just continue on, I get error code 3 aborts and have to just start all over.
First I go to the following URL to download the latest version of VLC Player, which I greatly prefer to Totem or any other standard Linux video/audio player: http://www.fileguru.com/Movie-Player/download. After I click on the "Download" link, a new window appears which asks me if I want to 1) Open with Archive Manager (default) or 2) Save File. There is a drop down arrow next to the first choice which only gives "Other..." as the only other choice. Well, if I choose the first option, the download appears as an .exe file in the "Downloads" window.
A window with "Download Error" in its Title Bar appears with the following message in it: "/tmp/VLC_Player_Setup-3.exe could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." I don't even know yet how to even open up an .exe file in Linux, despite repeated research.
In both my updater applet and in YAST, I keep getting the error that:

Not sure what's going on. I tried to use --clean and tried to use a different mirror, but still getting the error.
Ubuntu 9.10. System has been running fine for months. Today, tried to run Synaptic and get the following error: 'Failed to run /usr/bin/synaptic as root - unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file' Where invoking synaptic used to ask me for my password, it now gives the above error message. What I did today was change grub so that I boot to the command line instead of the gui. That worked fine and I can invoke the gui with startx as a normal user. sudo apt-get works OK from the command line.

I can not understand what is it. Is it a temporary network problem? What I have to do?
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?
