I Installed Ubuntu 9.10 on April 12th On April 14th I got a screen message advising me to download and install 257 update programs.The download got up to at least program 241. That�s the last one I remember seeing.Then the screen brightened for about one second and I got a message saying that Ubuntu had to be restarted to finish downloading.I restarted and this is the screen I got.

I need your opinion on my current problem with Limewire. It just crashed during my downloading. The following are the error code:-
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'

How do i download and install updates? It says package not found.
View 4 Replies View RelatedCouple weeks ago my automatic update did not finished properly. It crashed (I'm not sure about the reason). Since then, I'm not able to see installed new kernels in my computers. I can see them in Synaptic package manager as installed but I do not see them when I reboot. I would like to see them and try them.

So I installed the latest version after none of the "help" helped.Anyway in 11.04 I can no longer put icons on my desktop or find icons to start tasks I need like a terminal window for example. Wine doesn't even know it is wine anymore. Nothing is intuitive or automatic.Is there a simple way to find all the stuff or is this version set back to eliminate cometition with apple and windows. I really enjoyed how useful ubuntu was and need the speed and usefulness back like right now.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis is my first tryst with linux, so this might seem to be a very trivial problem: While installing updates for ubuntu 9.04, there was an unexpected crash saying that 'E:dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run sudo dpkg--configure-a' to correct the problem. When I tried to follow the instruction, it said that sudo could not be found. Is this a directory problem? If yes, how do I rectify it?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI, like many people, don't have access to fast internet at home (only 56k). That makes downloading the hundreds of mb of data impossible. But, like pretty much all of those same people, I do have access to local libraries. So, I would like to know the best way to download updates at a library, then come back and install them with ubuntu.The version is 10.04 32-bit, and is 100% stock (just installed from CD), and I want to bring it up-to-date.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy KPackageKit is not downloading any update, it shows updates, I click apply, I authenticate, then it asks me to accept an agreement, after which it returns to an empty KPackageKit (as if there were no updates). If I open it again, there are the possible updates again (naturally, since it didn't download anything).
View 5 Replies View RelatedTrying to help brother whose computer quit working after he downloaded updates. Don't know Linux lingo but it looks to me like he has multiple flavors of Linux running: Gnome, ubuntu, xbuntu, kbuntu - probably more I've forgotten.
He knew nothing about computers at all and inherited a build-it-yourself computer kit that someone was throwing away. It came with a CD of Linux software. By trial and error he made it run and has managed to do some amazing things with photos and graphic design. But he downloads and launches EVERYTHING that suggests itself to him. Sometimes a thousand files at a time.
Now his machine boots but won't run any apps. It keeps giving him a message that he needs to "manually run" some "dpkg-something" but he doesn't know how to get to any sort of root or command prompt where he can enter a manual command. All he knows how to do is click icons. He's clicked them all. Now his computer is continually running screen after screen of programming language.
Is there any hope? Can we reinstall an OS without losing all of his files of graphics work? Which OS should he use on a fairly old and slow machine if his main (only?) use is graphic design?
I am experiencing a Hang while downloading updates using the Update Manager. I have 61 packages in order to update my system.
Every time i try to install the updates, the download hangs for a large period of time, I tried to change the server i changed the server (US) to Main Server and the problem persists!
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
I'm a bit of a noob at Ubuntu (I can use the terminal and stuff though), and I want to know if I can specify a custom server for downloading updates and packages.I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and I want to use Adam Internet's FileArena server: [URL]... It's not listed in the list of servers and I want to know how I can add it or use it(because downloads from there don't count towards my download allowance).

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor 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.
The little red popup window (packagekit) from the lower right showed yum updates
I did a yum update and no updates!
I tried again this morning and no updates
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.

I need to recover data I saved on this VM, re-installation is the very last resort.
I have 2 hard disks installed in my system, 160 GB and 500 GB. I have using windows 7 installed on the 160 GB disk for past 2 years now and never faced any problem with my HDDs. Now this 500 GB is some problematic one. Remember the 500 gb disks from seagate which was a huge failure, i have that model. I bought it with 3 more of my friends. All other's HDD's crashed again and again except mine. I did some scanning and all with all sort of HDD softwares but all is well, except one soft called HDD health that showed my 500 gb has 48% health. It remain like that for an year, so i stopped worrying about that. I have stuffed my disk with data and never faced any problem up untill now. Now yesterday i decided to install Ultimate edition 2.7 64-bit. I downloaded it and burned the dvd at 4x speed and how i wanted to install it is like the way that it should go into the 500 gb one without having to do anything with 160 gb one having windows 7. I have done this earlier and it caused absolutely no problem. I just change the boot sequence to whatever disk i wanted to log into windows or linux(remember i did that with the same disks). Now i emptied a partition in 500 gb one, deleted it with the help of partition manager inbuild in windows 7, unplugged the 160 gb and booted thru live cd of UEU 2.7 and started the installation. When i got on the partition selection screen, what it showed me was just a 500 gb of "unallocated space", which i s actually healthy 6 partitions containing data which i have been using for years. No traces of the 30 space i unallocated in windows for linux. Now first question, "Why the hell did it not recognized my HDD when its perfectly operational in windows and i have installed UEU 2.5 on it once". It should have shown me the partitions. Does that means that my HDD was having some problem already ?? Now i booted back in windows, reallocated my 30 gb space, emptied some space from a 160 gb HDD's partition and got back into linux, with both HDD's plugged in this time. Now i started the installation. Again it didnt recognized the 500 gb chunk but did recognized the partitions in 160 gb and also recognized windows 7 installation. I formatted the partition with ext 4, didnt provide any partition for swap as i have 4gb ram and changed the boot loader to GRUB. Installation was successful. I can see all the drives from 160 GB one but only one partition from 500 GB one, no traces of other partitions, not even in Gparted. And yeah, the disk was mounted. Now everything was looking fine, i switched back and forth from windows to linux a couple of times, switched off the computer for some time, switched back on and watched a movie and finally shut down properly last night.
Now this morning my brother switched on the PC and it just wonts start. It restarts again and again just after the BIOS screen. I checked everything but couldnt find the problem. So finally i de attached the hardware one by one and found its the 500 GB that was causing the problem. I plugged it out and booted in again. To my surprise, the windows 7 booted in from 160 GB HDD with no traces of linux what so ever. Its was in the same HDD, i installed the common boot loader and have seen it my self when i switch on the pc, showing all linux options first and then windows 7 as other OS. It has nothing to do with 500 GB one, no dynamic partition, no system files or any thing. I suppose that windows 7 cant take back te boot loader without the help of installation disk and i have not used any. There was not even any kind of system recovery installed. Then how the hell windows 7 came back and linux just disappeared. The partition manager shows that the newly created partition for linux as "healthy and primary" partition.
say it once that all this mess was only due to i screw up the installation and my 500 GB is not dead. I will die without my data.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10 on a Sony viao laptop. (not right now 'cause it won't start up). I've been tring to turn it on all evening with no luck. I turn the power on. The first bios screen show the read out and then the Ubuntu icon shows on black screen and then the screen goes black. At that last stage I would have expected to see the brown Ubuntu screen and then the log in screen but it doesn't show up.
Is my hard drive damaged from being shaken around? I carry my laptop in a backpack designed for that and place in my car trunk (carefuly, I don't throw it around like a ball) If the hard drive is damaged, the way do I see the first black Ubuntu srceen on start up? Does Ubuntu burn that on to the bois? I tried starting up from an Ubuntu instalation CD and a Puppy CD and got the excat same results as listed above.
