Ubuntu Installation :: Synaptic And Upgrade-manager Failure?

Mar 27, 2011

1. Update-manager panel icon changes into do-not-enter traffic sign.

2. If you want to re-install Update-manager using Synaptic, then Synaptic opens for a while and then closes by itself.

Ubuntu Installation :: Lucid All Works Great - Except Software Center/synaptic

Apr 30, 2010

Using Lucid Lynx 10.04. Is your software center/ synaptic package manager working properly for you?

I just got Lucid installed after some minor troubles last night, but with the help of great people, I have it installed now (thank you!) and it all *ok, most* works beautifully!

However, I have been downloading/installing "Ubuntu restricted extras" , for the last 20 minutes now, and it is only at 12% .

In karmic koala, these things happened pretty quickly, but now it is just soooper slooooowww.

Before I started the restricted extras.. I installed VLC player, and that took about 15 minutes just for that. and now it is nowhere to be found!

It does not show in USC under installed software, nor does it show in synaptic..and it is in no menu, anywhere.

Speaking of synaptic...I cant get VLC, or Ubuntu restricted extras to show up, it does not 'find' them when I type their name into the search bar..it acts as if they don't exist.

I havent attempted to find, or install anything else that I had on my karmic box yet...only these 2 things, vlc and restricted extras....and both have been ..well.....painfully slow..... and vlc doesnt even seem to have installed, after it took 15-20 minutes, and said it was finished.

If this was "back to normal"...this would definitely be the best OS i have ever seen/used.

Ubuntu Installation :: Nvidia Driver Lucid Mythbuntu Failure ?

Jun 30, 2010

Had mythbuntu/xbmc running for 4 months with vdpau and all the same hardware. I killed it with an update and thought it'd all be easier To build it the 2nd time -- wrong! Fresh install of mythbuntu lucid off cd, Asus p5g43t-m pro, nvidia gforce 9500 gt

What I tried so far...Different drivers with the hardware app thingee. Multiple times -- Purge nvidia, purge nouveau, blacklist list of other video stuff with extra line after, stop gnome, manual install various drivers - 195.xxxxx or Synaptic install various drivers. Tried updates, adding avenard and daily build repos. Everything in combinations. Outcome remains consistant. Lo res error start, can't load nvidia driver, selected but not in use, xorg.conf needs editing.

I'm getting the same error messages as the common nvidia help posts describe but the solutions aren't working for me.

4 days of this, 3 installs plus a shot at Mint, and no progress. I'm pretty frustrated. I'd consider returning to karmic if I didn't think the updates would pork the nvidia driver all over again.

Last install of 9.10 there was a required edit of vmalloc=256M and a shut off of cx18. That's been fixed in lucid? What else ccould it be?

Ubuntu Installation :: 404 Not Found With Apt-get Update/synaptic?

Apr 6, 2011

I have a little problem on my relatively newly installed 10.10 Lubuntu that I can't quite figure out. I'm guessing it is a piece of cake for most of you ubuntu-veterans so I'm hoping a kind soul would save my day: The last couple of weeks, the apt-get update (and corresponding button in synaptic) does not manage to update all of my repositories, and I get a "404 not found" error at the end (see attached text file (hope I did that right, am a longtime lurker but haven't posted anything much yet)).

I realize that I have been doing some adding of repositories, and have written the wrong command a couple of times, which may be the cause of this (at least the two frescobaldi ppa errors). What I don't understand, is how I remove these faulty(?) repositories, so that my system stops claiming being unupdated. After searching/googling the issue I tried looking for the corresponding entries in sources.lst, but to no avail.

ps. my system is in german, the messages say "W: Failure when getting.." and "E: some index files could not be downloaded, they were ignored or others were used in their place". (rather badly translated)

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Lucid Update Manager Fails To Update - Now 64 Days Out Of Date?

Jul 4, 2010

I am trying to update using Update Manager and I get this message: Failed to fetch "Failed to fetch [URL]..404 Not Found" My system is 64 days out of date now.

I have looked elsewhere for an answer and some others have had similar problems, but I have not found a reason for it happening, nor an answer. I wonder if anyone can help me please. I have been using Ubuntu for several months, can use the Terminal if I have the right commands to issue, but beyond that have limited knowledge of the system.

Ubuntu Installation :: Update Manager And Synaptic Error ?

Ubuntu Installation :: Get Update-manager And Synaptic To Agree?

Apr 24, 2011

Is it possible to get them to show the same result.

update-manager says I need 315 files @ 302mb to download synaptic says 315 @ 318mb (using "mark all upgrades" button, then going the summary via the apply button )

this is on a machine with a clean install of maverick without anything new installed/changed from the defaults. Are these the same 315 packages and is it just a discrepancy in the way they calculate the size?

I used "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -s --print-uris > upgrade.txt" to get me the same 315 packages, but unfortunately it seems the simulation switch (-s) stops it from actually printing the uris (which would include the size info) so no help in trying to establish where/what the discrepancy is.

This is just the 1st step in me understanding the whole process so I can do what I outline in my long rambling post [URL]

having somewhat of an issue when it comes to updating through Update Manager.

I get "Failed to download repository information Check your Internet connection."

I will try to be as helpful as possible.

also, I believe I have a few hard drive faults- I have reformatted several times, but I still have issues in the boot process.

Fedora Installation :: 14 KDE Failure After Update ?

I just completed the latest updates to Fedora 14 - I have mono and wine on the system as well - so they were also updated. Now the only screen I can get is the failsafe (bash).

How do I recover my KDE desktop? (I noticed there were some updates for the KDE as well). I suspect something has failed during the update (selinux was also updated).

Ubuntu Installation :: Failure While Running Update Manager?

Mar 26, 2010

While running the update manager my system froze and all that I knew to do was power down and power up again. When I first started the update said 18.5 MB and on restart it said 17.x MB. I restarted the update manager and it failed with errors.

The last message says "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover:" but no progress in 1/2 hour. If I try to copy the messages to the clipboard it says that cntl-c will abort the operation so I haven't done that. From the top of the "Details" there are about eight "Invalid archive signature" messages. I don't know how to proceed.

Ubuntu Installation :: Unable To Boot Up After Update Failure

Sep 30, 2010

This morning my update manager came up so I clicked to update. About halfway through the update an error message popped up & said to restart my system. I restarted my system and now have a black screen with the following message:

mountall: symbol lookup error: mountall: undefined symbol: udev_monitor_filter_a

dd_match_subsystem_devtype

init: mountall main process (344) terminated with status 127

I read around earlier & tried to use a Ubuntu disk and reboot but I have the same error.

I'm using a Dell Inspiron computer, it's just over a year old. I keep up with all the updates but unfortunately cannot say for sure which updates were taking place because I just hit the update box.

Fedora Installation :: FC 13 Boot After Update Failure?

Aug 10, 2010

I was having problems performing an update yesterday that failed on dovecot dependancies and after a few tries I removed dovecote (it wasn't being used) from the installation and tried again. Everything seemed to be going OK then the update (about 160MB) hung and the screen went black a few times and I think then shutdown automatically. The PC then fails to reboot and displayes the message "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" I have tried to get the PC to boot with the super grub disc but without success (probably my in experience) I have also tried a suggestion from one of the forums to start the PC with a live CD and typed su -c 'grub-install /dev/sda at the terminal again without sucess. I have looked at the files with the live CD there are grub, menu and kernel files there (some are in lost + found, b ut don't know wheer these should be so have not changed anything.

Is there an easy way for the in-experienced to repair the boot process ?

The PC is a pentium 4 running Fedora 13
There is a 200MB boot partition formated as Ext3
and a 19GB partition formated as a LVM with Ext4
There is a CD drive but no DVD

Everything has worked OK for the past year through two online upgrades.

Ubuntu Installation :: Update Failure On .ICEauthority And Separate /home

Mar 26, 2010

I created a separate /home partition after installing Karmic on a new computer using this HowTo :

[URL]

I copied all the files from /home/user using

find . -depth -print0 | sudo cpio --null --sparse -pvd /new/

On booting after the change, the new /home is correctly on a separate partition BUT during boot I get a message :

Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority

I checked and the ownership and permissions for /home/user/.ICEauthority are correct. The suggested remedy of deleting the file & waiting for it to be recreated doesn't work either. But when I compare other hidden files in the new /home/user directory, quite a few now have their ownership changed to root. & I am unable to connect to my external monitor because of a permission problem (probably connected).

Ubuntu Installation :: Power Failure During Kernel Update - How To Recover

Sep 12, 2010

I was updating the kernel and left the computer to let it do its business. There was power failure and I don't know if the update completed or if it was in the middle of it. Now if I start the computer, it freezes up at the login screen. I tried to recover from grub, by selecting "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-21-generic (recovery mode)". There were no prompts for input after this. The recovery screen is not updating anything after:

[2.348886] EXT4-fs (sda1): INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem
[2.349015] EXT4-fs (sda1): write access will be enabled during recovery
[2.577641] EXT4-fs (sda1): recovery complete
[2.578072] EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ...
Done.
Done.
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ...
Done.

When I come out of that screen (ctrl-alt-del), the problem repeats.

Ubuntu Installation :: Lucid 10.04 Will Not Update Fully

Yet if I go the address in Firefox, one step at a time from [URL] and continue one step at a time, there is indeed a Packages.gz that I can download, so what is wrong? I do not see that repository listed in sources.list or in the update manager.

Ubuntu Installation :: Update Manager / Software Sources / Synaptic Package Manager Not Working?

Sep 30, 2010

It started with Update Manager constantly recycling and not updating. When it starts it shows 295 files and 308MB waiting to download. When I click on 'Install Updates' it appears to go through the process, and then presents me with the same 'waiting to install' window again - and again, and again - in fact as many times as I care to click the 'Install Updates' button. No error messages appear. The 'Settings' button produces the same apparent process as the 'Install Updates' button, but doesn't present me with any other screen.

I've tried all the solutions I could find on these forums and nothing works. The sudo suggestions for Terminal usually produce error codes. adjusting a line in the 'hosts' file. When I tried this I was presented with the obstacle of not having access to the read-only file, and no matter how much I searched I couldn't find how to gain access . While investigating all these possible solutions, I was directed in turn to the Software Sources and Synaptic Package Manager applications, but when I attempted to start them, 'Starting Administrative Application' appeared briefly on the taskbar - and then disappeared!
