I have installed Ubuntu and all is working Ok except when I try to add the suggested updates it is telling me I do not have enough free space. When I set it up I gave Ubuntu a 10GB partition but it does not seem to have worked. How can I add the suggested updates.
I have noticed that when installing Jessie, the graphical installer downloads updates to packages while installing if connected via Ethernet to the Internet. Remaining disconnected solves this problem. Is there any way to avoid this and install without downloading files other than apt lists?
After several crashes during videos it seemed like a good idea to fsck root. Downloaded the latest systemrescuecd and ran it at boot. The error message was 'bad magic number, corrupt superblock' with a suggested command to try another superblock. That failed with the same message. Tried tune2fs to force fsck at boot and got the same message. The drive is less than 6 months old and the installed system is working more or less ok. The command I used was 'fsck.ext4 /dev/sdc2'. What am I doing wrong?
when ever i try to install updates i get shown an error & the updates stop the error i get says "librpmio.so.0 is needed by package abrt-1.0.3-1.fc12.i686 (updates) librpm.so.0 is needed by package abrt-1.0.3-1.fc12.i686 (updates)"
I am experiencing a Hang while downloading updates using the Update Manager. I have 61 packages in order to update my system.
Every time i try to install the updates, the download hangs for a large period of time, I tried to change the server i changed the server (US) to Main Server and the problem persists!
i have a dell inspiron laptop lap top with windows7 os.my hardisk is 320gb capacity.now i want to install fedora as my secondary os. I tried fedora12 but instaltion terminated abnormally with the message safe reboot needed recievied signal 3. i have 20 gb unallocated space in my disk.
Whenever I boot up Fedora 15 on Virtual Box, I get the message " gnome 3 could not load " and I installed all the packages needed to install Guest Additions, but even when I mounted the file, the ONLY file I could find online that was VMBoxGuestAdditions.iso or something like that, I mounted it, I tried installing, but nope, it gives me an error message that it can't. I have the latest version of VirtualBox and I've been on several forums and looked at many places but I can't fix it. I also have a problem where when I boot it up it says " the system is optimized to support 32 bit but it is currently 64 bit go here and click this to fix it " or something like that. and I can't figure out how to fix it in Virtual Box.
I've recently started using Ubuntu and love it! However, I was recently trying to do the ubuntu updates (equivolent to windows updates), and I got his with these errors:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you mush manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E:-cache->open()failed, please report
For some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.
Ubuntu 10.10 did download the updates when first installed but has never updated since. When I try manually I get the message, failed check internet connection which is working OK. How can I get around this.
I Installed Ubuntu 9.10 on April 12th On April 14th I got a screen message advising me to download and install 257 update programs.The download got up to at least program 241. That�s the last one I remember seeing.Then the screen brightened for about one second and I got a message saying that Ubuntu had to be restarted to finish downloading.I restarted and this is the screen I got.
I, like many people, don't have access to fast internet at home (only 56k). That makes downloading the hundreds of mb of data impossible. But, like pretty much all of those same people, I do have access to local libraries. So, I would like to know the best way to download updates at a library, then come back and install them with ubuntu.The version is 10.04 32-bit, and is 100% stock (just installed from CD), and I want to bring it up-to-date.
My KPackageKit is not downloading any update, it shows updates, I click apply, I authenticate, then it asks me to accept an agreement, after which it returns to an empty KPackageKit (as if there were no updates). If I open it again, there are the possible updates again (naturally, since it didn't download anything).
I'm a bit of a noob at Ubuntu (I can use the terminal and stuff though), and I want to know if I can specify a custom server for downloading updates and packages.I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and I want to use Adam Internet's FileArena server: [URL]... It's not listed in the list of servers and I want to know how I can add it or use it(because downloads from there don't count towards my download allowance).
I currently mirror the updates repository to my computer using rsync. I was wondering if I could save space and bandwidth by only rsyncing the .delta.rpm files? Are there any disadvantages to this or does zypper/YAST handle updates just fine with it?
I did the UPGRADE from Karmic Koala to Lucid, and everything was going well. But now I've been having problems with the UBUNTU UPDATE tool for the last 2 weeks. Every time I try to do an update check on the packages, I get the following message:Failed to fetch http:[url]....Release Unable to find expected entry deb-src/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.I've tried changing the servers to MAIN and others, and still no way to solve it. I've also checked for other posts, but haven't found a solution yet. Here's my SOURCES LIST (gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list)# See http:[url].... for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution.
I'm currently using ubuntu 9 for 4 years, then I decided to upgrade to ubuntu 10.4 then after wasting long hours of downloading updates and reinstall of new packages my computer request to restart the machine. after the boot sequence of grub my computer hangs up and no display at all, I tried to select different kernel but it won't help me at all what's the possible error after upgrading
I'm going round everyone I know installing Ubuntu on their computers whether they like it or not, and I must say so far they all like it except. I have to spend 5 hours downloading and installing all the software they need to make their system run 'as good as windows'.
I really need a whole bunch of popular programmes to put on a disk and install as I go. I know Ubuntu saves the downloads in a repository on the hard drive, but looking at it I am sometimes at a loss as to which folders contain which downloads, then there is the problem of multiple folders for one programme etc.or point me in the direction of a zipped up file with all the programmes a normal user might need.
I'm trying to update Ubuntu 10.04 after a clean installation, it downloaded 245 files,and there is an error in the indexes of the 2 last packages:Failed to fetch [URL] difiere (bad size) Failed to fetch [URL] difiere (bad size) This happens even changing the repository to main server or another through "Software origins".Update-manager doesn't conclude the update because it can't download all the packages.
I want to install ubuntu and have boot up option. Do I need to partition before downloading ubuntu? Will I be able to access my face book and other chrome pages when I open chrome in ubuntu?
Yesterday I was tinkering on my postfix/dovecot setup and decided I was in such a mess it would be better to just get rid of the whole thing and start over. So I found someone who mentioned using
Code: apt-get delete postfix dovecot
I get prompted to delete the files, clearing up xx space on my hard disk. I continue answering Y to the question to keep going. I get a message saying the removal was completed. But when logging in now and reinstalling postfix and dovecot I got the same configurations I had yesterday. Is there some explenation for the configs still being on the machine?
I have just installed electric sheep on my 10.10 installation. I am having trouble installing the packs on it. The screensaver is in the /usr/share directory, which is owned by root. From what I heard, this account is disabled by default.how can I enable it so that I can have access to the /share/ directory so I can copy all the AVIs in there?
I'm struggling updating ubuntu 10.10 viaSystem > Administration > Update Manager I have a list of packages to update but installation does not start because there is the following window indicating this error:Package operation failed The installation or removal of a software package failed.
