Ubuntu Installation :: Canonical Repository Missing After Moving To Lucid

Oct 3, 2010

After moving to Lucid, I have no flashplayer. Eventually, I tracked the problem to a missing Cannonical repository. I inserted the line in the sources list: [URL] Now Synaptic reports:

E: Type [URL] is not known on line 45 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

I have re-checked everything I can think of, and remain baffled!

Ubuntu :: How To Upgrade To Lucid With Non-Canonical NVidia Driver

Apr 28, 2010

I've been using an NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA's site (190.53) for a while. Now I want to upgrade to Lucid.
1) Is it recommended to uninstall this driver prior to upgrading to Lucid?
2) If yes, how do I go about this? Please be specific, since I don't want to presume anything and make a mistake.

Ubuntu :: Lucid Canonical Method To Disable Services?

Jul 19, 2010

Until Karmic Koala I could enable/disable services at startup (such as ssh or mysql) by issuing a update-rc.d -f someservice remove. On reboot, it would no longer run, and I could re-enable if necessary by, for example, running a update-rc.d someservice default.

However, it seems that now in Lucid Lynx this no longer works. For example, if I do a nmap localhost I can see that the ports for the respective services are open, therefore I assume they are likely running (which an attempted access confirms). For example, if I do a /etc/init.d/ssh stop, the ssh service is respawned. I've found that service ssh stop or initctl stop ssh effectively stops the service (i.e. it is no longer "respawned" if "killed"). But so far I haven't found documentation that conclusively indicates how to disable the service start on (re)boot.

So I ask you, what is now the currently "canonical" or "standard" way to enable/disable these services (particularly ones such as ssh or mysql) from starting on boot on Ubuntu? I'd like to avoid having to remove the respective packages if possible (as some posts suggest), since in some occasions I'm interested in manually running those services -- therefore, having to install/uninstall packages is impractical.

Fedora Installation :: 7 Packages Repository Missing

May 14, 2009

why the Fedora 7 Repository is missing? We run a number of Fedora 7 machines in the office and when I went to configure a local repository sync of Fedora 7, i noticed that [URL] no longer has any Fedora 7 packages? After looking at a few other mirror repositories, it seems this has synced down to the mirrors as well. Would like to know if anyone knows why this is the case and if the packages will be restored?

Fedora Installation :: Which Repository For Missing Packages

Aug 23, 2011

I just did a clean install of F15 (32-bit) on a brand new 500 GB hard drive (partitioned and formatted in Win 7 (long 1.5 hr. format, no drive issues). Install was minimal, just Gnome desktop, and I have 894 software updates to do. I've twice started the updates and got two transaction-error dialogs, the first of which I noticed mentioned the Rawhide repository, so I added it to software sources and restarted the update. The second transaction-error dialog lists these files in details

gnome-shell-3.1.4-1.fc16.i686 requires libecal-1.2.so.9
xulrunner-6.0-2.fc15.i686 requires libhunspell-1.2.so.0
gnome-shell-3.1.4-1.fc16.i686 requires libedataserver-1.2.so.14
gnome-shell-3.1.4-1.fc16.i686 requires libebook-1.2.so.11 : gnome-shell-

[Code].....

but in which repository they can be found?

Ubuntu Installation :: Lucid Missing Volume Control Symbol?

May 3, 2010

Upgraded to Lucid and there is no volume control on the upper panel just to the left of the date calendar/time like there was on Karmic and earlier versions. Searched but can't find it. How can I put it back on the upper panel? It looked like a speaker with sound waves coming out of the speaker. I always used it on other versions before.

General :: Changelog For File When Moving To A Different Repository?

Jul 16, 2010

I am versioning my config files with git. Now I need to move some of my config files to a different repository, to achieve a clean structure. Is there a way I can keep the change log for a file if I move it to a different repository? I would like to have all commits of repo A in repo B that touched file A/a if I move it to B/a. Ideally, if I afterwards move A/x to B/x, I would want to see B/a and B/x appear together in commits that touched both files in repository A. I would not expect to have any development step of A/a merged into any of the commits of B, I just want them to appear there afterwards.

Ubuntu Servers :: Migrate SVN Repository From Dapper To Lucid?

Sep 28, 2010

I have a (very old) svn repositoy on an ubunta dapper machine. I want to switch to another machine with lucid running. I simply want to "copy" the whole repository to the new machine. I've tried several ways, but the most succesful one was to do a dump on the old machine, copy the file to the new machine and do a load there. The repository has about 28.000 revisions. At revision 3130 it stopped with an error saying some path was not in UTF-8. I tried running a UTF-8 migrationtool on the dapper machine but this told me all files were UTF-8 compatible already. I am really stuck, even a two and a half hour google session didn't provide any answer.

edit: more specific, the error I get is:

Quote:

svnadmin: Path 'beginofpath?218tabase' is not in UTF-8

The end should have been /database instead of ?218tabase. When I look in the revision on the dapper machine this path shows a square at that location, so this is wrong also. When I try to open the dumpdile in gedit I get an errormessage saying:

Quote:

Could not open the file /home/usrname/repo.svndump using the Unicode (UTF-8 ) character encoding

When I change the encoding I get the same error for that encoding.

Fedora :: What Software Is Missing In Repository?

May 7, 2009

I am doing a quick survey for software that you use on a regular basis that is not available via the Fedora repository. Software that you suggest should be free and open source, free of patent and other legal issues.

Tell me the home page of the software and give me a brief description on what it does. Bonus points if you can see in Google for "software-name fedora package review" to figure it if it is already in the Fedora package review queue. If you know of RPM packages in other distributions for the software your are suggesting, that information is useful as well.

Fedora Installation :: Error Getting Repository Data For Installed, Repository Not Found

Feb 14, 2010

Today I installed Fedora12 from the DVD, so this is my first contact with all of you. The last years I ran very well with gentoo, but the time for system maintenance got to big the last few times I updated the system, so I decided to change and here am I. The Problem: My system is newly installed from the DVD and I was trying to run the first update, but got the following errormassage by KPackageKit:

Code:
Error Type:
Error Value: Error getting repository data for installed, repository not found
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3125, in
main()
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3122, in main
backend.dispatcher(sys.argv[1:])
File : /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 710, in dispatcher
self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:])

[Code]...

It occured after informing me about the amount of packages that need to be updated and a message about some dependencies that have to be newly installed. At the moment I'm a bit lost about what to do. Also I realy don't know which system-information would be useful - let me know and I will answer.

Debian :: Small Apt Repository Is Missing Installer Component

Mar 20, 2011

Today I've setup Debian Squeeze for netbooting with tftp-hpa and isc-dhcp-server. I have also downloaded-only all gnome packages (apt-get install -d gnome) and setup a small apt repository for base system and gnome on the same pc (server).However, my small apt repository is missing debian installer components like libc-udeb, dmsetup-udeb, ppp-modules-udeb, etc. The question is: Where to obtain those packages and their dependencies? I cannot find or download them with apt-get nor aptitude.

Ubuntu :: Power Button Missing In Lucid?

Jan 11, 2011

I've installed lucid on two computers now and have been using or a few months.Overall, it's pretty good and everything just works. However, every now and then (seemingly random), the power button in the indicator appletsion panel widget randomly disappears, so I'm unable to shut down my computer without re-adding the widget, or using the command line to shutdown the computer. Now this is acceptable for me, an advanced user. However, this is not acceptable for my parents and family, who also use ubuntu computers. Today, my mother called me to ask why she couldn't turn off her computer. I was dumbfounded, and had to walk her through turning it off "by hand."

Now this is not me accidentally removing the indicator applet session panel item. No, I can still see the user name bubble with availability information and I can still switch users. It's just that the power button is completely missing (sometimes the place where it used to be is occupied by a corrupt graphic). Additionally, if I login later, the power button magically returns without me having to do anything with regards to the panel. This is disappointing indeed.

Honestly, this is why ubuntu and linux in general still have the reputation they do of being non-user-friendly. At least in windows or mac, when I get fed-up I can turn it off. But not so in ubuntu. No ubuntu tortures me continuously and I marvel that such a simple thing has escaped the minds of such advanced programmers. I wish Canonical would focus on letting us TURN OFF the computer instead of adding crazy features that I'm not going to use. I mean how can a real operating system fail at such a simple task

Software :: Uninstalling Canonical Landscape On Ubuntu?

0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 24 to remove and 3 not upgraded. To me it seems that it want to uninstall support for acl among other things. But I don't want to remove support for acl as I use it on my files. And also should "hal" be removed?

Ubuntu :: Is Anyone Paying For Canonical Desktop Support?

I'm want to reach others who have paid for Canonical support services.I'd like this thread to collect various impressions -- PRO and CON -- along with suggestions for using paid support.Please consider a linux admin with under-10 ubuntu boxes to support, who do they turn to for help?How does your need for help mesh with the contracted services as written?How does your need for help mesh with the contracted services in practice?Please avoid flame and vitriol about paying for support.Please avoid flame or vitriol about Canonical in general.

Some people need a mother-ship to contact when the going gets rough.Many times I've been unable to create the right question(s) to get online answers without spending (wasting) time getting nothing from searches and postings. Anything in a niche makes the situation that much worse. Other times the answers involved hand code patches and build something, etc -- skills I have but that are rusty enough to mean long hours to deploy.When does paid support make sense?

What skills are needed to find online answers 80% of the time?If this post steps on forum rules, I apologize in advance and expect the moderators to spank me accordingly. If this post is okay, as is, I expect the moderators to slap others who otherwise disrupt the dialog.

Ubuntu :: Canonical Would Maintain Updates For Only Selected Packages?

May 1, 2010

After reading this announcement, I don't understand if Xubuntu 10.04, or others ubuntu 10.04 variants, will be also LTS. What I understand is that :

- Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome) Desktop Edition is a LTS.
- Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition is a LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition is NOT a LTS
- Kubuntu 10.04 seems to be a LTS
- Xubuntu 10.04
- Mythbuntu 10.04
- Ubuntu Studio 10.04

Obviously, I can't understand how some variant could be LTS and not some others : they are all using the same repositories. So, Canonical would maintain updates for only selected packages ?Does anyone knows more about that LTS attribution ?

Ubuntu :: Dependency Tree For Canonical-supported SDL Packages?

Jun 17, 2010

Some time ago I installed SDL in Ubuntu 10.04 using Synaptic Package Manager. Now, there are upgrades available for the following packages:

libsdl1.2-dev
libsdl1.2debian
libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio

Trying to upgrade them seemed to reveal contradictory dependencies. If I select "mark for upgrade" on libsdl1.2-dev or libsdl1.2debian, Synaptic says I have to remove libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio. But if I select "mark for upgrade" on libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio, Synaptic tells me that I have to upgrade libsdl1.2-dev and libsdl1.2debian! I'm worried about breaking something, so I haven't upgraded yet. Is there an error in the dependency tree, or am I missing something obvious?
