Ubuntu :: Could Not Calculate The Upgrade
May 29, 2010
I can't upgrade. I get:
Quote:
Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: The package 'skype-common' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later.
I tried again several times in different days and it is the same. I have 10.4 recently updated from my original installation of 9.10. I think it was not a pre-release, I did it automatically from the website and it took a long time. As far as I know, all I have installed is official, except perhaps Skype itself. There seems to be something connected with Skype. But I have exactly the same Skype I had with 9.10, where I updated every few days with no trouble. It is something peculiar in 10.4

If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report." I don't think any of the issues above apply - can anyone offer advice on how to get around or "force " the upgrade

I am trying to upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10. I have never had a problem upgrading before with the Update Manager. Now I get an error message when using the Update Manager. The message says, "Could not calculate the upgrade". See screenshots. I also checked the package manager for broken packages and came up with nothing.

I keep getting this message while I try to run updates. The Update Manager says I have 35MB to install but it doesn't do it. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to maybe fix it? Also, how do I 'report this bug against the update-manager package'?

After going from 10.10 to 11.04, in the notification area I'm getting a red-warning message circle. What does this mean, and how to I resolve it?

does anyone know how to calculate an average in a simple way with bash? I've got something like this:
Code:
$ cat results.txt | head -10 | tr " " " " | cut -f13
0.23929285124
0.404716908011
0.35113102608
[Code]....
and now I want to calculate the average of the resulting numbers. I know I could write a bash or awk or perl script and use that, but isn't there a more simple, elegant way? There is for example "sum" in the coreutils, but no "avg"..

I am familiar with common video resolutions like 320x240, 640x480 and 720x480. Sometimes I want to use other video resolutions when encoding videos. Is there a formula to calculate the unknown value for the heightxwidth if one value is supplied? For example, if I want my video to be 480xWidth, what value should Width be to get proper aspect.

I have a csv file (id, loc, timestamp, impressions) that I need to derive some low-level calculations from. Im ok with basic sort and grep operations, but this one is challenging my feeble scripting skills (normally I�d throw it into a spreadsheet, but in this case Id like to ultimately create a script that I could automate). Ive already used cat/sort to order the csv file first on location and then timestamp so it looks like this:
Abt001, AA, 2009-01-01 10:51:00, 231
Cup002, AA, 2009-01-01 10:54:00, 3
Saf001, AB, 2009-01-01 10:51:00, 25
[code]....
What Id like to do is output to file a record of the total, min, and max number of impressions for each location. , e.g.
AA6504 3231
AB252525
AC37925109
ZZ35512341
how to do this and Im kind of stuck on how to approach it I think the combined steps of looping through the locations along with the min/max/sum calculations are throwing me. Eventually Id also like to do additional calculations like average, ect. but I think I can figure that out on my own if I can just get this part down.

I want to calculate length of my array, say Unix here.
Code:
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$ declare -a Unix=('Debian' 'Red Hat' 'Suse' 'Fedora');
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$ echo ${#Unix[@]}
5
This should be ideally 4, but somehow it is showing as 5. However, when I am removing the space as RedHat instead of Red Hat, it is working perfectly.
Code:
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$ declare -a Unix=('Debian' 'Redhat' 'Suse' 'Fedora');
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$ echo ${#names[@]}

I made the structure of protein in insightII, and want to obtain the moment of inertia at x, y, z axis. I checked the insightII, it can only calculate the moment of inertia for a trajectory from simulation, and only give one value of the moment of inertia. (But I need 3 values at x, y, z axis)

I have set swappiness to 0:
# sysctl vm.swappiness
vm.swappiness = 0
According to various sources, this should mean that applications have priority over file chaches, and swap should only be used when the applications themselves need more memory than is physically available. So I naively took the value free provides in the '-/+ buffers/cache' line as 'free' as the amount of memory to be available on the server. Unfortunately this is not even close to true: On a server with 20GB RAM, memory utilization by this measure never reached 50%, yet the system swaps.
I then figured out that I could use 'sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' to drop cached stuff. I was very surprised to still have 12.5 GB cached data after doing that. I am figuring that it's those 12.5 GB which force the system to start swapping. I also tried to use /proc/meminfo to figure out how that cached memory is used (by comparing its content before and after dropping caches). However, I don't see the correlation between the numbers provided there and what part of the cache can be dropped.
The closest match seems to be the 'Mapped' line, which was 10GB. I am pretty sure that being mmapped keeps the kernel from dropping cache. However, the value is 2.5 GB less than the cache which can't be dropped. So it is not the whole answer. What I am looking for is some way to determine how much memory the kernel could provide by dropping stuff if he needs to because of memory pressure. Is there maybe a way to simulate drop_caches without actually doing so?
The amount of potentially available memory does not have to be scientifically correct, but the number should at least be always in the right ballpark, which right now, it ain't... The point here is that it's a productive system. Sy doing stuff like dropping caches or filling memory until the system starts to swap is not a permanent solution to figure out the value. By the way, it turned out that postgres was the culprit in this concrete case, stopping it made dropping all caches possible, but that does not answer the general question of how to estimate available memory...
1. Is my assumption correct that I can subtract 'Mapped' from the freeable cache memory completely?
2. Where could the other 2.5 GB be used?
3. Is there a way to get a better guess of how much memory the system can free if necessary, before swap has to be used?
