I started out as a JoliOS user - but I have petty much removed all the Joli features and am just using the bare Ubuntu system. Nonetheless, I can't get the Ubuntu Software Center to work. When I run in terminal I get the following message:

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

My system specification:I am using is in my PC(stand alone) with the following system config..AMD Sempron(tm) processor2500+704 MB RAMASUS mother board..buntu version 9.10When I click ubuntu software center ->search any software ->select the software -> click the arrow at right corner->then click install button for me nothing happens. It was installing for one week and now it seems to be not. It gives no error message no action, but just static. Is that a paid version or i am missing something basic? I have tried to do the following
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
this happened to me before, where when I try to open Software Center, Synaptic package manager, or update manager, it would freeze with the window open and I would have to force it to shut down. I decided to re-install the OS after this happened and I just updated ubuntu and it is happening again.

View 5 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..

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.

The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.

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 5 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:

Import Error: No module named gtkwidgets I cannot find any reference to a gtkwidgets module, so I don't know what it is talking about. I don't really want to reinstall software-center or software-properties-gtk because ubuntu-desktop depends on them as well as some other things that make it too much to download right now. If it it really necessary and safe I can manage it in a few days. This is rather important because software-center does not open after this message.
I've got 10.10 up and running like a champ. Haven't done much in it, but all was well. After a little while I went in to turn the cool effects on, and it told me I needed a driver for my ATI card so I said go for it. It ended up putting Catalyst Control Center in for me. That's all fine and dandy except on the windows side I can get into an area that allows me to adjust overscan and turn it off (its a slider for under and overscan).
This version wont seem to let me do that, so now I'm stuck with either NOT a full screen, or no ability to have fun graphic effects. While your here, how can I change the data files which I think ubuntu refers to as your /home folder (documents pictures etc) to a different location? Windows7 and Ubuntu need to see the files in the same places so I don't have to have two working sets of files.
