I am a new ubuntu user, I downloaded it because it was recommended over windows for programming uses. I am new to Ubuntu, and everytime I try and download something from the Ubuntu software center an error pops up saying:
"Requires installation of untrusted packages. The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."
It does this for everything I try and download.
after having used 9.10 KK for quite some time now, i got curious about the games.i notice that while i am trying to install some of them - Airstrike, ACM Serial Combat Simulator, 20.000 Light Years Into Space etc, i am not able to do so.i a message box saying the following " Requires Installation of untrusted packages.The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.can anyone please let me know who i can install such games ? and since there seems to be such a security threat how do i distinguish the 'bad' from the 'good' games.

The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor some time now I've put off installing Karmic as there seemed to be a bunch of complaints and issues right at the beginning (probably unfounded) and stuck to a nice and running 9.04.
Anyway over the weekend I had some problems. I won't go into them as it's along story and rather irrelevant now. The outcome was that I decided it was simpler to do a clean install so I backed up my files, downloaded and burnt a new Live CD for Karmic 9.10 and yesterday installed it. My first impressions are very good, I like it a lot!
The only thing I have a problem with is this. Under: Applications>Ubuntu Software Centre I seem unable to install or remove anything. By this I mean after selecting some application when I click on the Install or Remove button nothing happens apart from the slight flicker. Nothing...zilch! I can install using apt-get in terminal or using Synaptic just fine. My feeling is that its a "button" issue rather than with Software Centre...but who knows

The advice is to add
[URL]
to the apt sources. (replacing cz as required for several other servers of choice). I tried this (using several different servers) from within Ubuntu Software Centre, but the usb_modeswitch never appeared. In fact (oddly) the source never appeared in the list! (Although I did have a look in the etc/apt/sources.list and it had added a line each time - there were several - I'd tried quite a few!!!) I did try downloading it but when it starts gdebi to install, a message pops up saying it is available (and better supported!) in a software channel.
I searched round a bit and found another reference to the package at
[URL]
This time the sources were totally different and the apt line recommended was
deb [URL]
When I add this it does add the line to the list of sources, but sadly I still cannot see usb_modeswitch after Software Centre has updated. In fact the number of packages available seems to go down from 2186 to 2179!
I suppose I could force the debian package to install, but I don't see why I can't get it to appear in Software Centre!
I should perhaps add that I have added other sources using the "apt sources" and that worked OK so I know I am doing the right thing.
my problem is simple: the software centre and firefox do not run when i try to launch them from any icon or with Alt+F2. The "Window List" app in the bottom panel shows "Starting Ubuntu Soft..." or "Starting Mozilla Firefox" but that just disappears again after a few seconds and thats it (no error message whatsoever). I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 (new install - no upgrade) and it runs without problems on my other computer.
Ps: I managed to get firefox running with 'gksudo firefox' but not the software centre (i am not so good with all the commands yet ) and i dont want to have to do that alle the time

Encountering several problems with ubuntu. I have managed to burn iso to cd - I decided to bot ubuntu off the cd, I have been struggling with a couple of problems all to no avail. I have heard ubuntu is pretty damn good, and I was quite enthusiastic about it. But if I can't get this sorted...
Oh I should also say I have never used a command line and I have not a clue about xorg or whatever you call it.
anyway my first problem is Display settings. I can go to System > Preferences > Display, and the largest I can set my resolution to is 800*640 and the monitor is unknown...?
Problem number 2 - the ubuntu software centre is not working... Applications > USC > Could not launch Ubuntu Software Centre..
Problem 3 - In the bar at the top of the screen beside time and date etc, "Crash report detected" keeps popping up?
Problem 4 my @ and " keys have swapped places??? also my Pounds sign (I live in UK) has been replaced with # while # has been replaced with
I have been working for a couple of hours on it but nothing makes the slightest bit of difference. I will probably have some more problems soon to be honest - but your help with the above problems would be honestly fantastic.
edit: Yea I cant install flash player to watch videos on .....?

I was trying to update from 9.04 to 9.10.
During the installation, I kept getting tons of errors. Finally something came up saying that I had to abort the installation and it did some stuff. I tried running an application, but I got an error. So I restarted the system.
The normal screen came up where I had to choose the Ubuntu stuff (I'm new to Ubuntu) in the box. I noticed that it had gone to 8.10... which I had earlier before installing 9.04, which went great. So I chose the first on and the system failed to start. I rebooted and tried all the other options, but they all had errors. Now I'm booted to Windows.
I installed Ubuntu from a CD I created. But it is now outdated because it is 8.10, and I have already upgraded to 9.04. 9.04 to 9.10 is where stuff went wrong.
Today I installed suse 11.1 on my computer. After some time i was able to connect to the internet and the auto update program prompted for updates. after the updates were installed more updates were prompted. but now i get an error when i try to install them. edit: the error is "PackageKit Error internal-error: Installation aborted by user " if i try it manually i get an message "access denied to ......" how can i make my system update normal?
