Ubuntu :: E: Package 'virtualbox-3.2' Has No Installation Candidate
May 23, 2011
I write apps for webOS, and need to use the palm emulator. The emulator runs on virtualbox-3.0 to virtualbox-3.2 only (no support for virtualbox 4). After adding the virtualbox source, I still cannot install virtualbox-3.2, and am instead given the error:
Quote:
Package virtualbox-3.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'virtualbox-3.2' has no installation candidate I tried downloading and installing the virtualbox-3.2 package from the web site, but it does not run. The contents of /var/log/vbox-install.log are as follows:

Is there some way that I can get this package installed?

I also uncommented
deb cdrom:
I then typed this sudo wget [url]
After getting that i typed this apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl
Then i tryed to install it and got that error.
I also tryed install it using this tutorial [url]

I have the latest RPM's but bank is saying the User Name and Password they issued me is hitting their server, but I get a screen coming back saying it can't find any suitable accounts at my bank to map to. Is 3.98.1-1 just a release candidate or is there an actual bug in the OFX package?

I noticed that mysql has an RC available for its latest version mysql 5.5.I was wondering if anyone can give me an educated guess as to when we can expect to see mysql show up in the synaptic package manager after mysql 5.5 reaches GA status.

Im a first time user of Ubuntu, I have 11.04 64bit installed. I used to use Fedora before. Seems like all of a sudden APT-GET stopped working. Whatever I try to install, it either tells me dependencies unmet presumably because the libraries are uninstalable (as it it says), and then when I try to install these packages I always get the error "Eackage xxxx has no installation candidate". This is for anything I try. I use Main server in Software Source, but have tried different servers too. May I point out that I haven't touched it, one day it was working the next it was not. Very Windows-like

I'm planning to install Fedora 11 Release Candidate on my computer because I really need a working Linux system, right now. Once the final version is released, will I have to do a fresh install or do I just update the packages on my system to get the final version?

I have installed on an Acer Aspire One netbook. The same problems with the Netbook Remix and Gnome.
(1) RESTART is hit and miss. It gets stuck and I have to do a hard shutdown (press the on/off switch for a few seconds)
(2) WIRELESS CONNECTION is hit and miss. The Connection Information goes missing. Have to shutdown & restart for it to work (restart never works)
(3) APPLICATIONS FREEZE all of a sudden. The mouse stops working and the keyboard stops working. I have to do a hard shutdown. Restart does not work.
(4) RHYTHMBOX launch is hit & miss. The little icon appears in the tray but I can do nothing - can't ask it to Show Rhythmbox and can't shut it down. Have to use System Monitor and kill the process there. IF MY MACHINE HAS NOT FROZEN DOWN COMPLETELY.
(5) GOOGLE CHROME and FIREFOX browsers run quickly when they start, and then, as time passes, run more and more slowly, until the freeze the whole computer.

I'm running squeeze. Some time ago uswsusp was removed from testing. I have a laptop that I would like to suspend to ram occasionally. On the developer bts page they say that because of the freeze in squeeze the new candidate for uswsusp is not considered. I see it has bugs. What does one do in this kind of situation? For some reason a while back I removed uswsusp from my system. Was that a colossal mistake?

I just finished installing a dual boot XP/Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for desktop about half an hour ago, and it's my first experience with a Linux OS. Now that my *complete idiot noob* flag is flying, I have an error I think I need to report:An error occurs with the Package Manager, I get this message when I try to run it, and when Ubuntu boots:
E: Encountered a Package with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/
us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_restricte d_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies I tried to download and install Chrome, and it came up with a similar error.
Is my install corrupt/incomplete or something? My setup is a P4 2.4Ghz, 512Mb RAM, onboard graphics, wireless internet and the HDD is 40GB, split into 2 partitions, and my Ubuntu Partition is 10 GB. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS distribution, and the other OS is Windows XP Professional SP3.I installed Ubuntu by using the Wubi installer.

Self learner developer since about 2 years, I'm trying to understand deeper how to design a database in the best and most efficient way possible.Reading about UML design, I've found this: Do not automatically add ID numbers(surrogate keys) or substitute keys to a table until you are sure that:
-There is at least one candidate key (before the surrogate is added),
-the table is a parent in at least one association, and
-there is no candidate key small enough for its values to be copied many times into the child table.
Until then, I've always did this (I mean using ID) to identify my rows.So my questions are:
1. Why should we avoid using ID to identify rows?
2. Candidate keys add some weight to our database, and this can huge if we have millions of records, so why should we use these over surrogate keys?

Running VirtualBox 3.2.6 under some host OS (should be irrelevant which one, right?), I created a machine, intending to install Fedora 13 on it. Got the Fedora 13 Live CD iso image, and an 8.6 GB virtual hard drive, completely blank. I set the machine to boot off the Live CD image. The Live CD boots nicely and I get to its desktop. I open "Install to Hard Drive"...and nothing happens. No error message, zip, nada. Inspection of the system shows a series of odd file systems, but I have no clue what they are for and whether they're usable or not.
The sticky [URL] mentions that the blank virtual hard disk should be partitioned and formatted beforehand...So I did, using the Live CD's Disk Utility (Applications: System Tools: Disk Utility). Although the sticky states the small /boot partition should be ext2 or ext3, the Live CD installer proposes to reformat it as ext4. Shouldn't we have formatted it as ext4 right away, then? Also, the installer set the /boot partition's size to 524 MB, not 200 MB as recommended by the sticky.
OBSERVATION: This was not easy because VirtualBox sets the display to 800x600 at most, and the Disk Utility spills beyond those confines WITHOUT PROVIDING SLIDERS. It was sheer luck that the required buttons (create partition, format partition) were barely reachable (at the bottom edge of the screen). This is a serious problem, because increasing the VirtualBox display size can only be done *after* installation (see for instance[URL] - since this guest addition requires rebooting the guest OS, it probably won't stick to the Live CD).
Once those two partitions are prepared and the virtual machine rebooted, "Install to Hard Drive" works as expected.
OBSERVATION: It is absolutely inexcusable that the Live CD installer (Anaconda?) does not propose to do this partitioning and formatting for the user. It is even more inexcusable that it should fail without giving any feedback whatsoever to the user.
Aside: VirtualBox's guest additions does not work correctly (for 3.2.6 anyway). The Devices: Install Guest Additions menu merely mounts a CD image VBOXADDITIONS_3.2.6_63112) without any feedback (expected feedback because the menu ends with an ellipsis). The CD, once opened, has an Open Autorun Prompt button...which fails to do anything. Manually running autorun.sh also fails. I had to manually invoke VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run from a terminal to get anywhere. Even then I was unable to go higher than 1024x768.

I'm currently using the PUEL version of Virtualbox 3.0.12 and whenever I open it, it prompts me to update - see screengrab.
Clicking that link and choosing to open it via the package installer (see screengrab) results in the error screen below - another screengrab.
I then realised the deb file was named Jaunty, so went to the Vbox website to download the Karmic file.
Running that via package installer produces the same error - Error: Conflicts with the installed package 'virtualbox-3.0'
Do I need to remove the old version first? If so, how do I do that (given that this is the PUEL version not the open-source version) and will my existing virtual machines (I've got WinXP and ChromeOS) be safe and still work afterwards?
My reason for wanting to upgrade is to virtually try Ubuntu 10.4 which I just cannot get to run or install in Vbox (either from a CD or from the iso image)

Observed on two host systems both with openSUSE 11.3 32 bit using ext4: When a big files, in this case a 1.2 GB and a 1.7 GB is copied from DVD, usb harddrive or shared folder into a Windows 7 32 bit guest system, the copied file is corrupted. The md5sum has changed and until the guest system has been rebooted successive md5sum tests on the same file comes up with various results... After a reboot md5sum tests show consistent results, but a sum different from the original file.
