The last two times that I updated I received a failure notification for gzip. I do not know what I did to cause that to happen;
I recently downloaded " hearts for gnome " which is a gzip file but i was not able to install it. Perhaps that jammed up the gzip!!
I've got this very strange problem in karmic. When I do "sudo apt-get update", the update process fails to download some repo files.
I'm pasting the whole output of the command here
Code:
If possible so that I can update my system. Due to this problem i'm not able to install libqt4-opengl which required for virtualbox.
Also, an off topic question, I can't autocomplete words in shell specifically after sudo apt-get and in some cases after sudo also. The autocompletion is working in all the other cases.
Duriing an up date pc requested a restart to complete. Then it rebooted so far and has stopped.I have a disc that I installed Ubuntu with and vaguely remeber the operating system could be run from the disc. Can I put the disc in and start the pc from it and still read what I had on the Hard drive?Or is everything gone and lost?Prior to the calamity the pc was running Ubuntu 9.10 and nothing else.

I will try to be as helpful as possible.
also, I believe I have a few hard drive faults- I have reformatted several times, but I still have issues in the boot process.

View 8 Replies View RelatedWhile running the update manager my system froze and all that I knew to do was power down and power up again. When I first started the update said 18.5 MB and on restart it said 17.x MB. I restarted the update manager and it failed with errors.
The last message says "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover:" but no progress in 1/2 hour. If I try to copy the messages to the clipboard it says that cntl-c will abort the operation so I haven't done that. From the top of the "Details" there are about eight "Invalid archive signature" messages. I don't know how to proceed.
After performing the periodic update on 2010-05-26 including libc, libc6 and libgtk2.0 my system fails on boot with the following error message:

This morning my update manager came up so I clicked to update. About halfway through the update an error message popped up & said to restart my system. I restarted my system and now have a black screen with the following message:
mountall: symbol lookup error: mountall: undefined symbol: udev_monitor_filter_a
dd_match_subsystem_devtype

I read around earlier & tried to use a Ubuntu disk and reboot but I have the same error.
I'm using a Dell Inspiron computer, it's just over a year old. I keep up with all the updates but unfortunately cannot say for sure which updates were taking place because I just hit the update box.
After a kernel update ubuntu would not boot. So found this procedure using the live update cd. Update grub.cfg & delete everything down to but not including the first line that starts with 'menuentry' . Then boot works ok. A couple of weeks ago it started on my notebook. Is anyone @ hq listening & able to fix this problem permanently?

Could not initialize the package information
An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_karmic_main_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
even from a terminal it wouldn't update? Maybe because I put my bootsector as ro ?
I don't know here is the message:
I just completed the latest updates to Fedora 14 - I have mono and wine on the system as well - so they were also updated. Now the only screen I can get is the failsafe (bash).
How do I recover my KDE desktop? (I noticed there were some updates for the KDE as well). I suspect something has failed during the update (selinux was also updated).
I created a separate /home partition after installing Karmic on a new computer using this HowTo :
[URL]
I copied all the files from /home/user using
find . -depth -print0 | sudo cpio --null --sparse -pvd /new/
On booting after the change, the new /home is correctly on a separate partition BUT during boot I get a message :
Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority
I checked and the ownership and permissions for /home/user/.ICEauthority are correct. The suggested remedy of deleting the file & waiting for it to be recreated doesn't work either. But when I compare other hidden files in the new /home/user directory, quite a few now have their ownership changed to root. & I am unable to connect to my external monitor because of a permission problem (probably connected).
I was updating the kernel and left the computer to let it do its business. There was power failure and I don't know if the update completed or if it was in the middle of it. Now if I start the computer, it freezes up at the login screen. I tried to recover from grub, by selecting "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-21-generic (recovery mode)". There were no prompts for input after this. The recovery screen is not updating anything after:
[2.348886] EXT4-fs (sda1): INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem
[2.349015] EXT4-fs (sda1): write access will be enabled during recovery

[2.578072] EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode

Done.
Done.
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ...

When I come out of that screen (ctrl-alt-del), the problem repeats.
So I ran the update manager to install the latest kernel. It goes fine and was sitting at the restart prompt. I was playing minecraft and the entire system locked up - couldn't restart X or anything. Hard restart and I get a multitude of errors mostly dealing with not being able to find things in /dev/... It gives me a command line but I'm lost as to where to go from here to repair my system
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter running a system update, on next boot I was unable to connect to the internet. I am running Fedora 12 KDE 4.4 x86_64 with a dsl connection. Network manager was keeping my ethernet card disabled. If I disabled NM control of the card I could manually enable it and connect to the internet, but on reboot it would be disabled again. I saw that the update did apply to NetworkManager so I did a downgrade. yum downgrade NetworkManager That seems to have fixed the problem.
Here's an interesting thing I noticed. When I did the downgrade, yum wanted to "Install" for dep NetworkManager-glib for the lower version, however didn't do anything to the same file on the latest version. Almost as if it wasn't installed. Now, with the downgraded version as current, yum wants to update both NetworkManager and NetworkManager-glib to the latest version. I couldn't swear to it, but I think the original update to NetworkManager did not include the *-glib dep, but now it does. Maybe that was the problem all along?
I was having problems performing an update yesterday that failed on dovecot dependancies and after a few tries I removed dovecote (it wasn't being used) from the installation and tried again. Everything seemed to be going OK then the update (about 160MB) hung and the screen went black a few times and I think then shutdown automatically. The PC then fails to reboot and displayes the message "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" I have tried to get the PC to boot with the super grub disc but without success (probably my in experience) I have also tried a suggestion from one of the forums to start the PC with a live CD and typed su -c 'grub-install /dev/sda at the terminal again without sucess. I have looked at the files with the live CD there are grub, menu and kernel files there (some are in lost + found, b ut don't know wheer these should be so have not changed anything.
Is there an easy way for the in-experienced to repair the boot process ?
The PC is a pentium 4 running Fedora 13

Just tried updating 5.2 to 5.3; using both pup and yum, and both get the same error:

I upgraded the kernel of my machine with a yum update, and now it will not boot. I am running Fedora 14 on a 64 bit machine. I really really need it to boot. Help!

Dual Boot: Fedora 12 and XP Dell 505I've had trouble with the latest kernel update.I updated a bunch of packages recently (including Xorg and kernel), and noticed a severe flickering after the update on my center monitor (Samsung T260 - the laptop display did not exhibit the flickering behavior). I backed out all the changes and started updating package by package. After I updated the kernel (again) I rebooted and here's where the fun part is -
I no longer get anything, except the cursor. No grub menu, no grub prompt. I rebooted and ran the rescue disk and followed the procedurery and point grub at the right boot partition - see here. However (obviously or I wouldn't be posting) that failed to work. I still get a blinking cursor and dead system on boot up.
After migrating my dual-boot system (XP & Suse 10.3) to a new hard drive my system boots to XP OK but when it begins the linux boot process it gets stuck looking for the old drive, even though I have rewritten the fstab using the old "/dev/sda5" notation to identify the drive. An error comes up referring to the "/dev/by-id" name for the previous drive, not the new one. For some reason the devices are not rescanned as is evident from the contents of /etc/lvm/.cache and the listing under /dev/by-id. Is there some simple way to force a rescan during the boot process?

The only way I have found so far is to reboot the system.

So should I use gzip or tar or what? I am still looking around google but nothing is super clear. Also I am currently making a tar.gz archive of everything, but I used the GUI so I don't know if I did it right or not yet. Its taking a long time tho.
