Every time I try to use Tucan or Gwget to download a file, it gives me a time like 2 minutes or 47 seconds, and downloads an empty file. I checked to make sure I was logged into my RS account, tried it with zShare, and again with several different links. Does the same thing with .rar or .avi, the extension doesn't make a difference. Thought it was Tucan at first, so tried Gwget instead and both are doing it. Until now they both worked fine.

All my package managers are crashing. I will try to start them up, they will begin loading, and then will crash. The problem began with the Update Manager putting up the red circle error icon that says: "An error has occured, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'Error: BrokenCount > 0'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies."
The recommended fix for this looks to be on this post that I got from LaunchPad: [url]
It says to: "Open the Synaptic package manager. System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager
If anything is broken it will tell you.Choose 'Custom' from the buttons at the bottom then click on 'Broken'
Right click on the offending package and choose to remove it."
Unfortunately, Synaptic won't open.

I have tried so many download managers it ain't funny, but there's one thing they all don't seem to know how to do well, and that's resume problematic downloads. I have used both fast and slow Internet connections on 3 continents (currently I'm on a slow and intermittent one as I live in Burma) so speed doesn't seem to be what causes the problem. And I download from many, many different sites, so it's not site specific either. The problem is as follows. I'm downloading a file from a server that supports resuming downloads but something goes wrong with the download and the download manager reports an error, like "size mismatch", or "timeout error".
What I really, really want to know, is why can't these managers resume downloads that experience these errors? Why can't they set markers during the download process (say every 5MB) so that if a problem like a size mismatch, a connection dropout, or a timeout occurs, then it can backtrack only slightly and then resume? I download a couple of shows from revision3 each week and more often than I care to remember they've failed at around 70% of a 300MB+ download and merrily just start downloading all over again. Another frustrating thing is they ditch the file that didn't finish, so I can't even watch the part of the show I had. I live with it, though it's very frustrating, but I wonder why these download managers aren't more intelligent.

I have been using kubuntu 10.04 for a while now and its working great. The main problem is that as far as I know it lacks a simplified package manager like ubuntu software center. Kpackagekit is fine as a synaptic replacement but searching for programs among all sorts of unrelated packages is very tiring. Are there any other options?

I have a laptop running 8.04LTS very well and have been keeping it up to date. I'd like to have the ability to re-install 8.04 at a later time if I had to reformat the laptop. I have the latest 8.04 CD image (8.04.2 I think) but of course there have been many updates since then. Is there a way for me to capture all these updates so that I can reapply them at a later time after a fresh install of 8.04?

I have packer installed for AUR packages, but I want to be able to use the pacman command for both. I think I will need a function for this -- what I mean is that whenever I use pacman, it will try using packer and if that fails (invalid option) it will use pacman-color. It could also decide which program to use based on the arguments. I can't just use packer (alias pacman='sudo packer') because packer doesn't have some options like -R to remove packages. I want to always use it to install and upgrade packages however, because It can install from the default repositories as well as AUR.
Does someone know how to accomplish this, or could point me in the right direction? I'm new to bash scripting. error (e.g. pacman -V prints packer: Option '-V' is not valid.).

I've been looking further into Linux from Scratch, and I am particularly interested in the package management side of the system. I understand that this is not covered in the book, but if I were to attempt LFS, package management would be a major convenience. From what I have read, when upgrading packages like glibc, you have to recompile everything to reflect the change.
If that is true, how do package managers like pacman and apt get around this issue? Isn't lacking glibc for even the time it takes to replace the files catastrophic to the system?

Is there an easier way (without using a package manager) to upgrade programs? For example, I just want to upgrade Amarok. In order to do this, I've had to upgrade every one of it's dependencies because they've all had minor upgrades from the versions I already have installed.
Is there an easier way to compile programs and their dependencies manually or are package managers the only way?

Two weeks ago I consumed all available FC13 updates. It was a terrible mistake. After that my my PC does not function properly and I have no clue how to fix it. I would like to get my PC in the previous (healthy) state. Is there an easy way to undo the updates? More than 60 packages were updated, but I do not remember which ones.

I have the package "xvidcap" (Screen recorder) installed in Ubuntu, the problem I have is the version I have installed is an older version and there is a newer version avaliable, but I don't want to install the newer version as this breaks some functionality regarding screen capturing e.g. audio capturing. But each time I run Update Manager the package appears in the list to be upgraded.
Is there anyway to flag the package as do not upgrade or something to make it not appear in Update Manager or at least have it greyed out so the checkbox isn't automatically checked each time update manager is ran?

When attempting to install ubuntu server, I get to the step Installing the Base System (right after writing LVM to disks) and it displays red and says "file:///cdrom/pool/main/libs/libsigc++-2.0-0c2a_2.0.182_i386.deb was corrupt," and next another box appears which displays, "Warning: could not download package libsigc++-2.0-0C2a." I have no idea what either of these mean, but afterwards the installation stops completely. I have attempted several times and on different hard drives.

I just recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop and was attempting to install Wine on it this morning. I went through the proper procedure listed on the site, but once I get back to the Software Center and hit "install" it gives me an error a second later saying "Failed to Download Package Files. Check your Internet connection."

i am trying to find a good download manager that will integrate with firefox so when i click on a download link it will transfer to the download manager. i have used orbit downloader and fdm (free download manager) with windows. one cool thing about orbit is that you can download flash videos from videos and just about any other flash video with the "getit" button, but that's not exactly necessary. i would just like a program that can manage downloads outside of firefox so i can pause them and continue them later if i need to like orbit or fdm. i found filezilla when i searched for download managers in the software center but apparently it's not what i thought it was.

I isntalled Ubuntu 10.04 LTS in a dual boot configuration with Windows 7 (new i5 desktop, 8 GB DDR3) , and after a few gliches solved, Ubuntu runs. The problem I have is when I try to install software with the Synaptic Package Manager, no packages can be downloaded. Also, after I attempt this, no other software can connect to the Internet (even if that software was able to connect before). Rebooting restores connectivity.

is there a way to get urls of the packages that have been updated and then download them in another computer? like this feature of ubuntu HOWTO: Download package dependencies for offline installation - Ubuntu Forums
its a simple feature and its present in smart and synaptic,yet its not in yast (or i havent found it yet.
i would use smart package manager but in my home connection for checking for updates ,yast is better ( smart downloads filelist.xml.gz that is very way biger than what yast downloads (though it enables smart to show filelist of package BEFORE installing) .so at home i can check for package update with yast ,buy downloading them is very hard. (my connectioon is very bad (i live in iran) and yast mirrors are NOT the best of servers ,so yast gets interrupted in middle downloading a rpm and the whole process is waiting for me to press retry ,so i cant do updates and installs overnight.btw is there some way to tell it to retry always or a number of times automatically? )
i need the url links of rpms so i download them separately and install them.
