I am running Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix, and was happily running E17 ontop of it until last night, I install some updates (I believe for CUPS) and now I only have access to Gnome. When I try to log into E it sends me back to the log in screen after doing the two drums from Ubuntu like I typed the password wrong, however Gnome works just fine.

For some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.
I just learned that warsow 0.6 is out, and went to see if it was available in the ubuntu software center yet, as opposed to going and downloading and installing it manually from the warsow website. The ubuntu repo's still have version 0.5, and at the bottom of the page it says:
"Updates: Canonical does not provide updates for Warsow. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."
So if I wanted to 'update' this item in the repo's for the better of the community what would that entail?
There are some updates in the Update Manager list which I do not install. Among them, some drivers for HP Printers (I don't know why this cropped up; I don't even use printers on my laptop), and gcj updates (I use gcc/g++ but not gcj). I unchecked them the first time I saw them on my UM list. However, for every subsequent batch of new updates, UM retains these updates and I need to uncheck them every time. How can I remove them totally from my UM list?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSo, it is my understanding that Ubuntu's automatic updates do not install ANY updates that are not "important security updates." For example, it did not upgrade me to Firefox 4 automatically; I had to do it myself (Don't all new browser versions usually contain new security features/patches? Oh well...That is a separate question entirely).
ANYWAY, is there some way to get the latest stable versions of all of my open-source software automatically (or at least all at once, on command), instead of just security updates? It seems silly to have to install new versions for every program manually.
Also, related/side question: Now that I have installed Firefox 4 myself (via apt-get by adding the mozilla-stable PPA), will I stop getting security updates for Firefox through the standard Ubuntu update manager?
Actually, a really thorough explanation of the whole automatic update system (or a link to one) would be great too.
How do i download and install updates? It says package not found.

I'm running CentOS 5.4 and noticed that for the past month there haven't been any new updates showing up either on 'yum check-update' or 'yum update' (I'm interested in basic and security updates). Although this may be right, I wonder if there is an online reference where I can check the updates that are released for CentOS (security bulletins) and make sure if there is anything wrong with my update system.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am using Fedora 13 and I have one program (wine) that I need to start grabbing for the updates-testing repo instead of the default repositories in order to get newer versions. I think I can figure out how to add that repository, but I need to know if there are any others I need to disable or any other changes I need to make to my system so that I don't confuse my set up with conflicting updates.
Also, is there anything special I need to do to be sure that only that one program is grabbed from the testing repo when I run regular updates?

I'm using SeaMonkey as my mail client, and have never set up Evolution, so when Update Manager keeps offering me Evolution updates, I've been unchecking and ignoring them.
But I suspect there might be some common files in the Evolution package that other mail clients or other Gnome features depend upon.Could I totally remove Evolution software in order to stop me being bombarded with updates to Evolution, or are there dependencies I should be aware of before doing that?
Is the original ISO for Ubuntu 9.04 continually being updated (ISO wise) or is the one from 7 month ago the same today. I installed 9.o4 32 bit on my memory stick and it works OK. When I went to update it I get the error that the / is not big enough. I am using a 4 gig memory stick with 2.1 gig free space. gparted does not work. I used the the installation program from pendrivelinux site. Ubuntu 9.10 does not work.

I just downloaded the most recent version of the updates for Ubuntu 9.10 and for the 4th or 5th time since I've used 9.10 it's broken 9.10 so I can't boot. Usually after breaking it it just hangs at the screen between the big white ubuntu O and the next with the progress bar, this time after the big white O I get random multicolored characters at the top of the screen and the computer hangs with no activity, no hdd lights or anything. Unless anyone has any suggestions I'm just not going to use Ubuntu, at least until 10.04 is available this is really getting old.
View 8 Replies View RelatedFor the last week or so I have not been able to get updates. It dies with the following:
Code:

I installed the latest updates last night (It came up automatically on the screen and I clicked the Update). Now I am having problems mainly my wireless network keeps connecting/disconnecting then sometimes asks for the password/key for the router etc.The system also got hung today and had to hard boot.
I am pretty sure one or some of the updates is responsible for this rather annoying problem, but I do not know how to undo the latest updates?The original install could not even pick up the wireless bcs it is a RealTek RTL8191SE NIC and this particular NIC had problems with Linux drivers! It started to work by itself after the 2nd or 3rd update.
I'm completely new to Ubuntu, I've just installed 10.04 and this is only the second week I've had it, and I'm not sure what is going on with this. Whenever I try to check for updates I get this message: The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Ubuntu 10.4 Netbook remix installed on an Acer Aspire one netbook. I just did about 200MB of updates and now it won't boot into Ubuntu. It is a Wubi installation. When I try to boot into ubuntu I get the following:
First a couple of references to drives flash on the screen,
Then I get a text screen with the following:
Error: unknown command: loadfont
Error: file not found
Then after a few seconds the screen goes blank.I would like to recover the installation or at least recover the files on the 'linux partition' (altho it is not really a partition but a file as it is a wubi install)Can I access it (the data) via a liveCD/USB boot sufficiently to either repair the installation or copy off the data?
While trying to get my wwan to work i somehow messed up. I got a some errors when running apt-get update. I disabled the source causing the errors and I can now update normally. However, it's been over a week and no available updates has been presented by the update manager. This makes me think that something is wrong.
The now disabled source, causing the most recent error was;
Code:

Is this happening to other people too? The past few weeks now (every day) Ubuntu tries to update the Linux Kernel, but it always says it cannot and goes back to the one I current have.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running 32 bit 10.10 on a Lenovo N200 laptop, I have 3 other Ubuntu computers on my home network and they don't suffer from this problem, 1 is 10.10 32 bit, 1 is 10.10 64 bit and one is 10.04 32 bit. they are on the same network and I cannot see a difference.
However when update manager says there are some updates available, I can install the critical ones but not the "other updates", it tells me that they would require installation from non authenticated sources then after agreeing will not install and goes back to the start of the update process.
The error message lists ALL the "other updates" if I deselect them then the critical upgrades down load and install OK.
In the previous version of Ubuntu (10.10) I got a notification of updates in the lower Gnome panel.Now I am using 11.04 with Unity. I have not seen a notification of a update since then.How can I get updatenotification for Ubuntu 11.04 with unity?
