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 RepliesI 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
I 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.

I am at a loss because I have never had this message before, I am particularly trying to get the drivers for my Brother DCP385C printer but they will not install because of this message .

View 2 Replies View RelatedMoved to linux as I was assured it was "uncrashable" but I seem to have managed it after only 2 days. Running ubuntu 9.10 and trying to download adobe flash player. I get an error message :-
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 have recently installed Ubutnu 9.10 on a laptop machine for my girlfriend, and she uses an HP 6300 series all-in-one printer. While things are generally good, the printer randomly delays output for long periods, often as much as ten minutes of delay. The delays might occur at any point during the output, that is, printing will often start, but then hang part way through a page. Sometimes, the delay is sol long (more than ten minutes) that the printer seems to timeout, form feeds the page, and abandons the output. Mostly, however, great patience results in output resuming after the many minutes delay and the page will complete. For multi-page outputs, the delay might occur more than once during the total output, and sometimes you get lucky and the whole thing comes out in a single shot.

I'm running ubuntu on an i5-650, Intel H55 mobo system. I have 4GB RAM.I was running Lucid (AMD64) very happily, but then had a severe failure of the Samsung HD502HJ hdd (the smart report is showing more than 1000 bad sectors, increasing everytime I try to access the disk).I have replaced that drive with a Seagate ST3500418AS. Using ddrescue I was able to recover all but 9MB of the drive content. However, with my /etc, /proc and /opt directories having gone missing, I decided that attempting to recover the installation was a lost cause so I went ahead and installed Maverick onto the new drive.As part of this process I created a separate partition for my /home directory (recovered from the old drive).
Now, having installed only a few 'essential' packages (eg autofs5), I've realised that a lot of actions are taking well in excess of a minute to take effect. For instance, clicking on 'Places->Computer', it takes approximately 100 seconds before the Nautilus window appears.According to System Monitor, there is nothing using any significant resource during this time - it's as though something is waiting for a timeout to complete before actioning my command.If I look at the processes in System Monitor during this time, I can see that the Nautilus process is showing 'autofs4_wait'.
I have been using SUSE 11.2 for some time now. I have 2 problems that I have been unable to resolve.
1. I like to use the Caps-Lock key to type capital letters every now and then. I turn caps lock on, type the letter, turn it off, and type the rest of the word (Yes I know I can use shift. My brain is not willing to unlearn ). After I turn the caps lock off, there seems to be a delay after which it switches off. This ends up making the second character caps as well. For example I want to type 'Who' instead I end up typing 'WHo'.
What setting can I tweak to get rid of this ? I am not sure what to search for, if some one has already asked this question.
2. I often select a couple of words using the 'ctrl+shift+ left / right arrow key' combination and attempt to overwrite the selection by typing in new characters. For example select the words 'abcd xyz' and then type 'a', which will replace the selected text. Sometimes I get this character '' instead of 'a'. A similar thing happens for other characters. Sometimes the keyboard will not respond for the first 2-3 strokes and the system will send out a *beep*. I have no clue why this happens. It does not happen consistently either. But it does happen in all text related windows. For example in a browser / kwrite / <Insert an application that can handle text here>
I'm encountering an unusual problem with GRUB 2. Whenever I start up my system, my BIOS'es load and do their thing, and then hand the show over to GRUB, which is supposed to not appear or do anything because my GRUB countdown is set to 0, but instead I get two errors like this that appear for about 5 or 10 seconds (greatly delaying startup) and then Xubuntu, the first entry on my Grub menu, loads: (I set GRUB to automatically boot my first entry):
Code:

Recently upgraded to fc11. Have nvidia working ok. Using kernel 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i586 (not the latest). When booting up I get to gui login and see the background change. It takes 20 seconds or more before I see the login dialog box. After selecting the user it takes another 20 seconds before I see the box change to enter the password. This only happens at boot. If I logout and log back in everything is fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThat is what it says during boot (splash=verbose):
Code:
Starting KNetworkmanager
Connecting in 30 seconds
{counting down from here, no more text scrolling}
kdm starts (on screen 7) and I can give user name and password but on screen 1 is still this countdown. I have only mobile internet via (GSM / HSPA) and this is not connected when the wait is over.
I looked for a .conf file but those I found have no means to change this behaviour of the networkmanager. How can I set seconds to 1 or even 0?
Until my hard disk crashed I was running happily Debian Lenny with KDE 3.5.9. Rock solid, and blazingly fast on a AMD 1700+ processor with an 5 year old NVIDIA MX440. After the hard disk crash six months ago I decided to install Debian testing. Unfortunately Debian Testing comes with KDE4. The experience was horrendous. Instable, slow, dead slow, missing applications, limited setting capabilities, lacking functionality.
At the time I posted some comments on Debian and KDE forums. The KDE gurus blamed Debian, the Debian gurus blamed KDE. The answers I received included "KDE4 is still in development now, but it will be great, one day" In the mean time I replaced the VGA card with a faster one (FX5200) and indeed, the GUI became workable, but that is all to say about it. It still was slow. There are noticable delays between a mouse click and reaction. The system overall feels sluggish and contains many bugs. Even when I disable the graphic effects it doesn't become much better. In no way the snappyness of KDE 3 is achieved.
Almost two years ago I tried KDE4 (4.0 at the time) and I was scared. I posted some messages here and there, stating that KDE4 had become Vistalized. (Does that word need an explanation?) Two years further, and it is still on the edge of unusable. Last week I have installed Xfce. I had seen it before, but too many things were different and I switched back to KDE. This time I put some more effort in and got used to it in a day or two. Nothing wrong with Xfce, it is not even hard to use. For the time being Xfce will be the desktop I install on new machines instead of KDE.Too bad, KDE 3.5 was a great desktop. I am wondering whether there are more people who dumped KDE in favor of a less resource hungry bloated and Vista-like desktop?
All of these audit messages is from one su - and root password at a gnome-terminal.This started happening from some update from koji in the last 18 hrs or so.It take 20-25 sec from su - to get the password prompt.

OS: Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop Edition Computer: Laptop Acer Aspire Timeline X 4820TG Sound Card: don't know (how/where to check?) Software tried: totem, vlc, rhythmbox (does not depend on software) Output: headset and speakers (does not depend on output) The problem: Bass cannot be heard, and "part" of the music plays with a small delay ("offbeat") with respect to the "rest". Note: I have it dual-boot with Windows 7, where the audio works without problems.
this is the first question I post. I hope this information is specific enough,

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.

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.
