Ubuntu :: Errors Were Encountered While Processing:
Nov 7, 2010
I recently rebuilt my system and did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04. Now, everything I try to install returns the following errors. I have tried installing the troubled packages but I get the same errors. Any thoughts?
while start following some tutorials, i face lot of problems only with nvidia-driver.for example, if i try to apt-get install chkconfig, the result will be as below:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done
I updated my Xubuntu 10.04 yesterday and some packages had errors on install. I think I have tracked it down to python2.6 install. I ran apt-get install mousepad just to see the errors and this is part of what it returned:

Then, I checked where it said the missing files were and found several broken symlinks like this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2010-08-09 20:34 xapian.py -> ../../../share/pyshared/xapian.py All of the broken symlinks need another ../ on the front. I was considering creating a script that will read the broken symlinks, add another ../ on the front of the target and then change the symlink target to that address.
When I try to update the computer, like with the automatic updates, every time after it's done I get an error message stating that a number of the updates were unable to actually update:
"Errors were encountered while processing:
What can I do to get those updates to actually update?
I just reformatted my PC and installed Natty 11.04; my work files are all backed up in a separate /home directory that resides on another partition separately. That partition is not formated nor erased. I tried installing git through apt-get:
[code]...
I even followed the troubleshooting procedures for PackageManager here but to the same man-db postprocessing error. Any other logs I should look at?

So from a previous problem, I goto: Code: cd /var/lib/dpkg/info but find anything todo with libgnome-vfsmm-2.6-1c2a has 0 bytes, ok problem found (the electric went off durring an upgrade) It won't reinstall, as it can't uninstall. Ubuntu Lucid Beta2
I have a VPS running Debian Squeeze. Today I ssh'd in to do an apt-get update and an apt-get upgrade. Some of the packages seem to install fine, however linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 gives an error. I've tried rebooting (hoping that it would indeed come back up after a reboot and it did) but nothing has helped. Here's the output from apt:
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 configured to not write apport reports Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I also did an apt-get clean to drop the cache but that didn't help either.

I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 server on vmware and trying to install webadmin but no sucess. Tried few guides but when I do dkpg -t webadmin_1520_all.deb the terminal says Quote: dkpg: error processing webadmin_1.520_all.deb (--install) cannot access archive: no such file or directory errors were encountered while processing webadmin_1.520_all.deb
Everytime I try to install, or unistall anything, I get an error: Errors were encountered while processing: man-db There are a few different ones, but they all have that.
I have Ubuntu 11.04 and whenever I install gnome3, I will get an error during the install. Following are the details. "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". I will always get an error pop-up and a error message in terminal saying "errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-session_3.0.1-0ubuntu~build1_all.deb" & "E:sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" And when I reboot, I will get stuck at the ubuntu splash page and ubuntu will not load.

I'm trying to set up a PXE boot server on a PC running Slackware 13.0 using the default apps and info shipped with that Slackware version but to no avail...Carefully reading the Slackware 13.0 README_PXE I've put together this dhcpd.conf file:

New to Fedora (from Windows), I am up and running ok with packages from the repository but only half ok with Processing, the Java graphics programming front end from processing.org.Their download gave me a .tgz file which Package Manager extracted for me into a location of my choice and where there is now a "processing" shell script.This works ok and I have managed to create a launcher on the desktop. That starts ok but always with processing's default action of giving you a new and automatically named work file.In Windows an existing Processing file (.pde file) could be "opened-with" Processing. Trying to do similar in Fedora I find that I am expected to nominate an Application to open with but Processing has not installed as an application.I guess the question is how do I promote Processing to be an Application?Or is there a different approach?
I am running Valgrind on my program. It shows me two errors but mentions only addresses against them and not actual code even on a debug build.

when I want to add a new applet (e.g. the Brightness Applet) to my panel in Lucid (10.04) I get the following error:
Code: The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_BrightnessApplet". This happens with all applets. This error also appears when after the login. It's quite annoying to not have a clock, tray area and a window list. I searched in different forums but didn't find a solution.

I recently had a hard drive on a computer (not to be obvious), and I fried the computer. You may ask "well why did you do that?" well, simply because I had accidentally bumped and switched to 220 volts, rather than keeping it at 115 like a sane individual. Anyway, I got a new computer, swapped the hard drive. When I go to boot into ubuntu though, it gives me the following error:
Code: Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this. (EE) No devices detected.
I also have XP on this hard drive, and it works almost better than it did on my old one, surprisingly. all i have to do now for it to be labeled as efficient, is to get some RAM. But anyway, what can I do about the error message? I tried booting into recovery, running dpkg from the list of options, and it did a couple of things.
I'm runing UBUNTU 11.04 and new to UBUNTU and LINUX. Everything was working fine for me, but somehow Synaptic Pakage Manager and Software Center are now messed up.When I try to open Synaptic I get this error message:
Code:
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/downloadue.info_repo_dists_natty_all_binary-amd64_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
[code]...
I can open the Software Center but it hangs when I click on any of the options or try to do a search.
When I first got Ubuntu a few weeks ago, and got the older version of Wine from the Software Center, and it could run pretty much any game I wanted. Albeit really slowly. Well, I upgraded to 1.2 using the instructions on the wine website, and now a couple of my low-power games (like Bootfighter Windom XP) run totally perfectly, but a lot of mainstream games like Mirror's Edge and Mass Effect 2 just crash when I attempt to open them, and all they all have the same message where the main .exe file has "encountered a serious error." Here's what the terminal gives me:
Code: Backtrace: =>0 0x68286bbe in libc.so.6 (+0x110bbe) (0x033bd9c0) 1 0x693815a1 in winhttp (+0x115a0) (0x033bea20) 2 0x69381aa1 WinHttpQueryDataAvailable+0x60() in winhttp (0x033bea70) 0x68286bbe: fmull 0x488bdc4a(%ecx) .....
I'm having some trouble installing Ubuntu 10.04. What I am trying to do is completely wipe all things on my computer and install Ubuntu. I have followed the instructions from Ubuntu's homepage on how to download the ISO, and ran their program to put it onto a portable USB device. Through doing all of this, I receive no error messages. Then it tells me to change the BIOS to boot from USB, so I did that. I've successfully accessed the install menu and filled in all the information requested (i.e. computer name, account name, etc.). I select that I want to delete the current partitions and use only Ubuntu. It starts to install, but at 67%, while copying files, I receive an error.
This error is: The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno 5] Input/output error This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment.
Code: Reading package lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty-updates_universe_i18n_Translation-en E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. Get this kind of error while trying to update Natty.
I'm a first time user of xubuntu or any other linux derivative operating system and I was wondering if I could get some assistance on installing xubuntu 11.04 on my old laptop. When I downloaded the iso and burned it into a DVD+R, I inserted it into the machine and let it ran. It started well and I checked the disc's integrity before continuing with the installation and it passed that. Now, as I enter the installation screen, I select my language then click forward but the installer freezes for a few minutes and later disappears only to be replaced with an error message, "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again." and it does as it says and boots into a demo mode. I try installing again through the "Install Xubuntu.." link on the desktop but it follows the same problem.
