I used to be able to resolve this problem by simply opening my sources.list file and doing a search and delete, but now Ubuntu appears to have two completely different methods of handling sources. What is is the simple solution? I would really like to have everything all in one place.
Code:
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_sunab_ppa_ubuntu_dists_karmic_main_binary-i386_Packages)
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_mozillateam_firefox-stable_ubuntu_dists_karmic_main_binary-i386_Packages)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
I have made a custom grub2 menu however, both the default and the custom show together. So my grub looks like the list below, the bolded entries are my custom ones. How do I get rid of the duplicates? I have tried apt-get remove and deleting old kernels.
ubuntu,linux ... ubuntu,linux recovery memtest memtest windows7 windows7 ubuntu linux ubuntu linux recover
To start by saying that I am brand new to anything linux. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit to dual boot on my Windows 7 32-bit PC. This last time that I booted my pc the grub looked like this:
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-25-generic Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-25-generic (recovery mode) Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-24-generic Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-24-generic (recovery mode) Windows 7 (loader) (on/dev/sda1) Windows 7 (loader) (on/dev/sda2)
From what I understand the duplicate for Ubuntu is just an updated Kernal, hence the -24 to -25. What I didn't understand is why there is a duplicate for Windows 7 and what the sda1 and sda2 is? Someone please explain. When I first installed Ubuntu, there was only one listing for Ubuntu and one for Windows 7.
Also, I was wondering what you do to keep up with new kernals and remove old one's. How do you keep the Kernals from piling up? I assume that when another Kernal becomes available, there will then be 3 Ubuntu listings in the grub. One last thing is I would like some suggestions for the best way of going about learning linux. (i.e. terminal commands)
For the past few weeks I have been using the lastest Ubuntu OS. The following menu pops-up during the boot process.
GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae (recovery mode) Memory test (mentest86+) Memory test (mentest86+, serial console 115200) Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)
Just recently the menu displays duplicate entries. The first two entries are repeated (see below). What might have caused these duplicate entries to appear and how to correct them? Before this problem occurred I did not issue any sudo commands.
GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae (recovery mode) Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-22-generic-pae (recovery mode) Memory test (mentest86+) Memory test (mentest86+, serial console 115200) Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)
I see this posted in several places in the past but no answers. If I use UUID in fstab to mount additional partitions I get duplicate entries for the partitions in the Places Menu. I can solve the problem by mounting the partitions by Label ( /dev/sdb2 /mountpoint ) but half of the time grub2 will not mount the drive correctly using this method and will change the volume ID (sdb2 becomes sdf2) .
Bear in mind that LIBS can be variable, I mean I need to drop any duplicate and only retain the last one of each different entry. And we must keep the order as is, I must not sort out them.
I just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10. I originally had installed the nvidia drivers using the bash script from nvidia's website. This time around I used the ones from synaptic. However now when I go and look in System -> Administration there are 2 entries for "NVIDIA X Server Settings". The first one has the NVIDIA logo, the other one has a grey question mark. Does anyone know why there are 2 entries and how I can remove one of them?
I'm getting duplicate entries in mysql database when submitting a new item from a form. I initially loaded the database via IMPORT function in phpMyAdmin. This is my input form:
I have a huge (over 10 gb) file with a list of IP's each followed by a corresponding number like this:
Code:
12.32.34.23 10 143.32.34.543 11 232.32.45.65 12 54.23.5.232 13 143.32.34.43 14 and so on..
I'm trying to sort this file numerically and weed out any duplicate IP addresses. How do I do this on bash? I have come up with this but obviously it does'nt work.
Theres two main things im trying to remove. First, Wine which I need to keep, has about 15 different entries which I want to remove. Second I installed OpenMPT, a music tracking program through Wine. This added about 10 duplicate open with entries.. I uninstalled OpenMPT, because I decided I didnt want it, but all the entries remain.
When I highlight one of the entries, the remove button is still disabled. Its disabled for Wine, OpenMPT, and every other program in the list.
I'm sometimes getting a 'duplicate source' error when I update, but not always. Sometimes it's just fine, without me having changed anything significant. To be honest I don't really understand what's going on.
Here's my sources.list : deb [URL] testing main deb-src [URL] testing main deb [URL] testing main contrib deb-src [URL] testing main contrib deb [URL] testing main non-free deb-src [URL] testing main non-free .....
Whats with the duplicate sources referring to /var/lib...? I've never touched that directory. Ever. And why are there three 'duplicates' of testing/main when clearly I only have two in sources.list? I'm confused. Is my sources.list set up properly? Usually, running another update immediately after the first one cleans up the errors, but this keeps coming back every few days.
whats the most secure firefox browser for karmic that i can use from a PPA source ? that source must be trustable.could you tell me the PPA for the one in question as well ?
Now I have installed Lucid on a VM of Sun VBox. It is now running. But I found the source.list still refers to karmic. What can I do? Change all karmic to lucid?
I am working on Red Hat Linux since last six months and learning it steps by steps. like configurating ftp server,NSF ,DNS and then email server. I want to learn squid server but technically before going into it what you suggest me that may I first learn to configure Linux as a router,Firewall machine or do IP masquerading on a server. Because all these things are directly or indirectly involve in squid.So guide me because going to start squid i may understand Linux IP table ,how to add entries in it,how to delete entries ,I think you understand my point which i want to ask for guidence.
Is there any open source virtual machine so i can study the source in order to create my own? i'm gonna write my own, so it doesNT matter if license does not allow further development of the code.
i am already a little bit familiar with linux and now i want to know better the linux OS. i have downloaded the source code of the krnel from the kernel.org and i dont understand the linux source trees organization, so can somebody do me a favor and give me a link to some internet page (or at least a book) that explains that?? i have searched in the internet with the tag:::linux source trees organization and i have not found nothing interesting
We all know we can install a linux system such as Fedora 10 and use it. Being linux, one should in principle get the source codes for everything that has been precompiled (except the proprietary drivers such as nvidia) in the installation DVDs/CDs. Where are the source codes ? Is there a place I can download them ? To avoid confusion, I am not referring to the kernel source that can be compiled to give a linux kernel, but that does not include the drivers, such as intel_drv.so.
To be more specific, the intel graphic i810 driver has been built into any linux system, but where is the exact source? One answer may be that primary source intellinuxgraphics.com. However, if anyone tries to download the every changing (i.e., keep updated almost every single day) driver source codes from freedesktop.org, it is almost certain that the source codes will not be the same as the one that is finalized in Fedora 10.
I finally got round to transcribing our wedding video from VCR to DVD. Now I would like to duplicate that video a few times and pass copies round the family, more to preserve it than to bore the relatives.
I dragged the DVD icon from the desktop to a thunar (file manager) window and it created a folder containing this lot code...
Total size 1.3 GB. But I have no idea what to do with these files.
I tried this command code...
and ended up with a 4.4 GB file, which Archive Manager says contains the above folders, and presumably also contains an image of 3.1 GB of formatted but unused disk.
What's the best thing to do here? The ISO file will presumably burn a good DVD copy but it's a waste of disk space to keep it, (I'd like to keep a copy on hard disk too) and I guess will also take needlessly long to burn.
Can I create a smaller ISO from the file folders? If so, is there an app to edit the titles before I do so? The recorder put a second title "Empty Title" on the title page which I'd like to get rid of. I discovered by accident that the VOB files play in parole media player - one is the title screen, and the other two contain about half the video each. So I don't know what all the other files are about.
I tried to put a terminal in the desktop using more or less the procedure described in this article:
[URL]
It worked fine, but then I installed avant-windows-navigator and I think it created some conflicts with compiz and other applications.Both the desktop terminal and Skype started to appear in duplicate when I logged in. So I went to the startup applications menu and disabled them both. When I logged back in they both appear only once, but the terminal is in the wrong spot in the desktop.So there are probably some startup registers somewhere that are causing this.i've tried reinstalling compiz and I uninstall AWN and it didn't work.
i have network ( 5 windows and one ubuntu )simply i changed the hostname of my ubuntu pc and changed the workgroup name put the old pc name ( old hostname ) still on the network also the old workgroup name
I am currently trying Gnome 3 on Natty. Unity didn't do it for me. One weird problem I have run into with Gnome 3 is duplicate icons. There will be 2 of various icons. One icon normal and the second blurry. Other than this Gnome 3 seems to be fine. Anyone know how to fix this?
I've got a lot of photos I've take over the years, and I suspect I've got lots and lots of duplicates, since I may have multiple backups for the same photos.
Have anyone experience with deduplication of photos in Ubuntu, and could recommend an approach for a quick and efficient way to do this?
I have the notification area displayed in my panel. Normally, it shows one speaker icon, one battery icon, and one wireless network icon. But now it occasionally shows 2 speakers and no wireless icon, or two batteries and no wireless icon. Sometimes rebooting fixes it. But it seems to be random. This used to work fine, and I can't figure out what I did to mess with it.
I am working through a collection of many thousand photographs in many collections, spanning decades. One of the folders is a "Selected_images" folder which should only contain copies of images from the collections.
How can I check that the files in "Selected_images" are all indeed copies and have an identical counterpart somewhere in the collections hierarchy, not necessarily with the same name?
At present I am scanning the output of fdupes -r collection, which is tedious (although, in fact, no photographs should ever be duplicated except in "Selected_images").
