Alright so when I go to the Ubuntu Software Installer and and I try to install software, it wont let me. I can look at the software and choose which to install. It will ask me for authentication and it accepts it but when downloading it, it never passes 0%. Does anybody have any ideas whats wrong? Thanks so much for any input.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI really need to download the Glade interface designer. So when I go to the ubuntu software center and click on it, it doesn't give me an option to download. Then, when I click "more info" it says, "To show information about this item, the software catalog needs updating". So I go ahead and run
Code:
sudo apt-get update
and still I can't download.
When I attempt to download the restricted extras from the software center, I get the following error message:
CD/DVD 'Ubuntu 10.04 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release amd64 (20100427.1)' is required,Please insert the above CD/DVD into the drive '/cdrom/' to install software packages from the medium.
I have 2 Ubuntu CDs, the alternate x64 and the desktop x86. I've inserted both and still gave me the same error. The computer is running the alternate x64 version. I've already reinstalled this computer 4 times, and it NEVER asked me for the CD. Why would it ask for it now? Not only that it asks for a CD I don't have.
I have a problem with installing application from so could software center just because in the line with the program there is no bottom install that is present in some programs. So could any body explain me why is so and what is necessary to do. i am relatively new in linux so no have much idea on using it.

I want to copy and keep the installation files of these packages downloaded by USC. The problem is that I don't know where USC keeps the downloaded files. I think u got what i'm saying.The directory where the .ded files are kept after USC downloades it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere at home I have several Ubuntu installations, mine, the kids computers and a couple of laptops. What I'm looking for is a solution or a pointer in the right direction to setup on our local Ubuntu server a sort of cache. Each day each Ubuntu on the network, checks for updates and downloads, and installs. What I'm looking for is a way for one machine to download the update and then the others to download from the local resource.
A sort of local cache to try and minimise everyone downloading straight from the net for pretty much the same updates. I did a emerge cache many years ago when I was using Gentoo, so I'm wondering what I can use/do here with Ubuntu as we are all loving this distro now.
This is our first time choosing and installing linux. Our other servers are all windows 2008 x64. We were told to install fedora 13. I can only find a download for the desktop version and we're looking for the SERVER x64 download. Could I please get a link?

Something I did removed the Ubuntu Software Center from my menu & I believe it removed it from my system all together. How do I get that back?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI can't open ubuntu software center.I tried the following commands:
sudo apt-get purge software-center
sudo apt-get install software-center
Both of the commands above did not produce any errors; however, I still get the same error when trying to start ubuntu software center.
I've just set myself up with lucid - to anyone involved in the development of it, congratulations; it was the easiest install I have ever done, and it looks and feels great.
However, I am having a small problem - when I've tried to install some new programs (specifically sunbird), it's told me that I need to update the software catalogue, and I can't find a function in the GUI to do so. I went into a terminal and used apt-get update in the hope that that would fix it as well as trying the update manager, and then went to the help file/google but didn't have any luck. I know I could install it through the command line, but I'd rather deal with this issue. Can somebody please point me in the right direction?
I've been thinking of turning my old computer into a media center for a while now (it was running Ubuntu Server 9.10). I recently bought a new 23inch screen so.. out with the server, in with the media center! (currently Xubuntu but running on LXDE as it's a lot lighter) My problem: The computer barely manages to play 720p videos on XBMC (on ..... or totem/vlc it's just impossible with breaks, lag and constant freezes).. I used the debug function of XBMC and guess what.. a 720p movie takes my cpu to a constant 100% usage!! =X
So here's my question.. what distro or 'buntu flavor would you advise me to use?? I thought about a minimal install but don't want to try it just yet..

How do I get rid of this? My software center is not working and it keeps asking for this CD ROM.
seckin@seckin-System:~$ sudo apt-get update
Ign cdrom://Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release amd64 (20101007) maverick Release.gpg
Media change: please insert the disc labeled
'Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release amd64 (20101007)'
in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter
I have Ubuntu 10.10, Software Center does not work, and it always shows up errors. When I run:
Code:
dpkg --configure -a
I get:
Code:
Setting up gconf2 (2.31.91-0ubuntu3.1) ...
[Code]....
I Keep getting a dialogue window prompting me to repair it, it returns the error " E:I wasn't able to locate file for the ultimate-edition-nautilus-scripts package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.: ", after looking around the forums & trying many of the techniques including creating an empty file & running aptitude -f install as well as a few more commands mentioned in various threads, all to no avail, I am stuck with the same message.
Is there any way to totally uninstall & reinstall apt getting rid of any changes that would be causing this or is there a simpler fix I have just overlooked ?.
I receive the following errors.

I get this with all other downloads as well... Can someone walk me through on how to fix/circumnavigate this problem?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading to 10.10, I have been unable to use the software center to install. Every time I click 'install', the install progress bar just hangs, reading 'Waiting for apt-get to exit'. The same thing happens when attempting to install upgrades via Update Manager.
I can however update via Synaptic and using 'apt-get upgrade' in the terminal.
Looking at the AMD/ATI download pages, I can't tell if catalyst control center (which installs the drivers) is fully functional for Ubuntu 10.10.
Has anyone had success with this software?
I have integrated ATI Radeon 3200 HD graphics on my motherboard and can't get things working.
Is there a way in ubuntu software center to see details while installing (like update manager that shows a terminal with apt command output)?

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy Ubuntu Software Center hangs on an installation of a downloaded .deb file from astah-community. It's a tool for UML software design. The installation was almost complete and then got stuck for some reason. I tried to click cancel but that didn't work. I closed USC and when I opened it again nothing had changed. I shut down the computer, restarted, opened USC and it was still there.
I am new to ubuntu, so how can I get the installation cancelled? I saw another post on a similar problem, where the problem was solved with:
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all astah-community
but I got:
dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
When I upgraded to Lucid, Opera browser has stopped being shown in the Ubuntu software center. Do I have to go to the repository to get it?
