Ubuntu :: Getting Errors From Add / Remove Software?
Feb 21, 2010
I am having some trouble installing from both the now legacy "add/remove applications" and the ubuntu software center.
The add/remove applications gives me an error, The ubuntu software center, does not. It just stalls, and takes forever at doing, what I can imagine, nothing. It does however most of the times install what i am asking it to do.
What might cause this? I am having some trouble sometimes at connecting to repositories.
Oh yeah, ubuntu software center, just does not let me click install...

Last night I attempted to install the PulseAudio Equalizer. It appears that i followed some old instructions, because the repository does not seem to exist.
Segment from sudo apt-get update:
Code:
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick/main Sources
404 Not Found
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick/main i386 Packages
404 Not Found
Fetched 4,923B in 1s (2,476B/s)

How do I remove this bunk PPA? It's blocking my ability to update my software, etc.

This is the error I get when removing gnome-session:
alex@alex:~$ sudo apt-get remove gnome-session
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
ubuntu-desktop : Depends: gnome-session but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: banshee-extension-ubuntuonemusicstore but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: gnome-accessibility-themes but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: ubuntuone-client-gnome but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
And this is what happens when I do apt-get -f install:
alex@alex:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

I was messing around trying to be able to download minecraft to my computer (it's very confusing for Linux, and I know nothing about this system!) Now when I try to install apps in the Software Center I get this error:
There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 961, in simulate
trans.unauthenticated = self._simulate_helper(trans)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 1085, in _simulate_helper
return depends, self._cache.required_download,
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 226, in required_download
pm.get_archives(fetcher, self._list, self._records)
SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the sun-java6-jre package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
I've seen a solution that seemed to work for someone else but when I go into the Terminal and type in the commands it asks for my sudo password and I have no idea what that means/is because I never set any kind of password like that.

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.
The output is

Since I plugged in and then unplugged in the firewire port a video camera, I have a note in the bottom-right corner of one of the desktops. It says 'libieee1284-3".
It's not a serious problem at all, I can live with it, but if there was a way to remove this yellow square from my pretty desktop I would like to hear about it .
I tried clicking and right clicking on it; it does nothing except I can access a tiny menu with - apparently - enlarge, refresh and configure buttons. Only the configure button (a spanner) does something, it opens a "configure" box which does not have a "remove" or "delete" option. Rebooting does not remove it.

For starters: I need to get my printers working. Sys>Admin>Printing. Only once in the past few days was I able to enter my printers. When 10.04 let me, I thought it would remember, but the next time I turned on the PC, no printers.
When I go to:
Sys>Admin>Printing> "add new" is blanked out...There is no way to add them again. "Connect" to localhost (these are SAMBA Printers BTW) "CUPS Server Error" is the message I get 'failed to connect to server'

I clicked "Safely remove hardware" (not sure if it's right - using Russian version..). It's right above Properties (right-clicking on the disk in Computer). So, I want to get it back. How do I do that? Also, how do I check the SD for errors?

This is a new installation of Ubuntu, everything was working great after installing the programs and configuring settings until a system restart brought these errors down:It cannot connect to the internet, I've tried everything even restarting the network with the terminalThe windows do not have borders, I know this is a common problem but I've read through many different posts and nothing helps, this all happened at the exact same time and was working perfectly beforeWhen you logoff, shutdown, or end your session in any way it says there is an unknown program that won't quit, you have to end it because it will never end on it's own.I've restarted many times in the past but all this suddenly happens randomly, I have Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit and CompizFusion if that makes a difference.

When I installed Ubuntu 11.04 i went to some blogs to do the classics "10 things to do after installing Ubuntu 11.04". It seems all is fine. But when i do this command in the terminal,

1. I've binded compiz' "scale - initiate window picker" to the top right corner. But it just seems to stop working randomly until I restart my pc. Why does this happen?
2. Scale - "initiate windows picker for windows group" doesn't seem to work at all? For example I open two firefox windows, touch the keys I've set up (super + c) but nothing happens?

I want to backup my Ubuntu box and I found a couple very helpful articles that describe how to use tar for backup and restore. So far so good. I've dabbled in Lin/Unix in the past, mainly on work systems, but Linux on my personal PC is new to me.
When I ran the tar command as root (su -) I noticed several errors scrolling by in the window. It's scrolling too fast to note the exact errors, but I did notice "permission denied" a few times.
Is there some way that I can capture the output of the tar command to a file so I can review it for errors and/or permission denied statements?
Can I just add some arguments to tar?
tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /

Phonon:KDE's Multimedia Library
The audio playback device SiS Sl7012 with AD1986 (SiS Sl7012) does not work. Falling back to playing/recording through the PulseAudio sound server
Whats the best way to go about getting rid of this?

I'm having two distinct Grub boot errors with Ubuntu 9.10, stemming from two different setups. Anticipating that I'll be asked I ran BootInfoScript on both setups. This is the first setup, where I put a Flash ROM card in the Flash ROM port in front of the computer. This setup will not boot at all, and I get a message something like "Insert appropriate media and try again."

I ran an update recently. It was about a 300Mb download and with it was the current kernel and others. I restarted to find an error. Compiz is no longer starting and there is this red minus icon on my bar saying there is a package error. It said to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" but when I ran that I got: dpkg: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for reading: No such file or directory"

I'm trying to restore a corrupt windows disk. When I try to copy the user's folder, the huge amount of errors exceeds the terminal's buffer and are lost. I would like to send cp errors to a file so that I have a list of the corrupt files. (hopefully the user will decide they are not important)
I'm presently using
Code:
sudo cp -rp (badfolder) (newfolder)
