every time i install ubuntu i have to add official ppas of many softwares like transmission, libreoffice. vlc, deluge and many other softwares i use. is there any script or software that will allow me to create my own list and set up the ppas when i run it?
View 1 RepliesI'm formatting my laptop and I wanted to back up the list of PPAs I have installed as well as my list of applications currently installed. Problem is, it's a long list and I don't want to be stuck writing them all down.On another note, how's everyones Unity experience going? EDIT: I found a tutorial that let's you do this, but it's a bit dated and doesn't work any more. Anyone know a fix for it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently re-installed Ubuntu Karmic on a new PC (about a month or so ago), and I just noticed that my PPAs are not updating when I run the update manager. I'm not a complete noob but I'm not all that hardcore or experienced. Is there something I am doing wrong?
When adding a PPA I open System>Administration> Software Sources and click on the "other software" tab. After clicking "add" I enter the APT line (*eg. ppa:banshee-team/paa)
and hit "add source". I hit close and let it reload and that's it.
This method worked fine for me before but now when I run Update Manager it never shows any updates for the PPAs I have added even though I know there is a newer version of the application available.
I'm running 9.10 and it's been great for me, until a few days ago. I added some PPAs, and they seem to have produced some conflicts that I don't know how to fix. I added PPAs for Midori, Webkit, Epiphany, Mozilla (for Firefox 3.7 and Thunderbird 3), and Banshee. Now I can't open Midori, Epiphany or (strangely) the Ubuntu Software Center.

I am going from 10.04 to 10.10 and have changed all instances of lucid to maverick within the sources.list file but now I don't want to continue until I can be safe to upgrade by disabling the third-party repos. How can I disable these using the command line? Should I just move the sources.list.d folder? Any other ways I'm missing?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have searched on the internet but didn't manage to find out how to flag 3rd party repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/50unattended-upgrades. It installs all updates from the stock Ubuntu repos but none from 3rd party repositories I later added (e.g. Chromium PPA, Skype, etc.). I understand I have to manually add the lines but I'm not sure what's the format for this. How to do this? Here's how my 50unattended-upgrades file looks like:
Code:
// Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin, archive) pairs
Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
"Ubuntu karmic-security";
"Ubuntu karmic-updates"; };
// List of packages to not update
Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist {

//"libc6";
//"libc6-dev";
//"libc6-i686"; };
// Send email to this address for problems or packages upgrades. If empty or unset then no email is sent, make sure that you have a working mail setup on your system. The package 'mailx' must be installed or anything that provides /usr/bin/mail.
//Unattended-Upgrade::Mail "root@localhost";

I just tried adding the same repository to my desktop pc as well separate install separate machine same error, while checking software sources in gnome nothing seems out of the ordinary. My desktop was updated today via the update manager.
I upgraded to 11.04, and in the process it said third-party software sources needed to be disabled.Now, when I go into Software Sources nothing happens (the form doesn't open up)Is there a command line prompt to enable third-party sources? I think this might be why my keyboard/mouse aren't working.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi've just upgraded to Natty, and there are lots of 3rd party software sources that were disabled during the upgrade, and i've enabled them again.

I have 3rd party software that I need to install. It is called VNMRJ. It is packed as one .tar. I extracted the .tar to the desktop (under root) and want to start the installation. However, during the installation process, all .tar files included the the package (sub directories) can't be extracted by the installation routine. For every .tar I get the error

I installed a LAMP server using RHEL 5.5 but we needed a higher version of php than was available in RHEL Yum repositories. I think at the time I installed Dag Wieers and got a 3rd party package. My question is the following:
1. How do I remove the 3rd party packages?
2. How do I remove Dag Wieers from my Yum repo list?
3. Anything else I need to know to get all 3rd party packages off?
as the subject says, what is your source for non official packages for slackware?? slacky.eu, sbo, others??
View 14 Replies View RelatedI ve got updates ready to install but halfway through downloading I get a message saying it couldnt get a password or something. So I enabled unsupported updates, but it still did it.
So then I disabled them again and it said I had a broken package (ia32-libs) and to run apt-get install -f in a terminal after unchecking 3rd party updates, so I unchecked 3rd party updates, but when I type in a terminal it says permission denied and asks if I m root.
It would normally ask for a password in the terminal to root me, dont know how to do it any other way.

I have 4 HD. Primary drive has Windows Vista, Secondary no OS installed. Sata1 HD Ubuntu 10.04, Sata2 Windows 7. Prior to installing windows 7 all was perfect but once I did it, grub got all screwed up. The only way I can boot into grub is if I manually select my Sata1 which has Ubuntu on it and only then it allows me to select Linux or Windows OS. How can I change that so it can boot up normally as before? I'm assuming that grub was installed in the primary drive which has vista on it, but once I installed windows 7 it got deleted and when I tried reinstalling Ubuntu, the grub was not installed in the primary drive.
just installed Fedora 15 and was just wondering....
I want to install the 3rd party repos... I found these........

But for 15... would I install the rawhide one for rpmfusion? cause the other options are for older Fedora's.... or is there an updated rpmfusion etc for Fedora 15 that hasn't arrived yet? How does it work in this regards so I can have up to date 3rd party packages etc?
I'm trying to setup OpenVPN to use a third party CA, and its unclear to me how to use the serial and index.txt files that are created when one uses the easy-rsa scripts to setup OpenVPN. If i'm using my own CA can I ignore those? Its also unclear to me how OpenVPN figures out the server.key passphrase. I'd also like to leverage the --tls-verify cmd directive but I am unsure of where to specify it.
What I would like to do is have --tls-verify call a perl script that then verifies that the CN of the certificate the client is passing in matches a cn in an LDAP group. I figure I can do the LDAP group lookup with some easy perl stuff, its unclear to me though if --tls-verify is going to pass in the RDN of the client cert.
I am using SBOpkg, but for the ~30 3rd party packages I have most of the slackbuilds are already out of date, and I don't expect they will be updated when security issues or whatever arise.
So is the only solution to subscribe to the individual mailing list for each piece of software, or is there a more automatic way?
I got about 30 bucks worth of iTunes giftcards I'd like to redeem, but Apple doesn't have iTunes support for linux. I installed it via wine, but I can't get the itunes store to open up. I've been trying for several hours to get a workaround, with no success, as follows:
1) iTunes on Wine (didn't work, like I said)
2) Sharp Musique (old thread, all the links were broken and it's not in my Synaptics repos)
3) Banshee iTunes Store extension*****
This last one with Banshee seems promising, but I'm getting nowhere. I've downloaded the third-party extension, installed the .deb, and followed the directions on the banshee webpage. Still, when I go under Edit>>>Preferences>>>Extensions, it doesn't show up. I found the install called "iTunesMusicStore.dll" in /usr/lib/banshee/Banshee.Plugins, and I've moved it to ~/.config/banshee-1/addin-db-001/addin-data, but it still won't show up in the plugins.
Even though I have been using Linux for quite some time now (as a private web server), now that I want to create a new web server, I am willing to know exactly what is the philosophy of Ubuntu regarding package version management.
Let's use phpBB as an example, as I used it on my first server, and I intend to use it again on my new one. phpBB is currently in version 3.0.7 In the official Ubuntu software repository, phpBB is currently in version 3.0.4 Now I am facing a philosophical question: should I simply download the official version and simply deal with it, or is it more 'the Ubuntu philosophy' to stick to the 'supported' version, 3.0.4, even though, this version is a year and a half old?
I know that Ubuntu is based on Debian, which is itself a very secured Linux, which will only offer validated versions of software. And as such, man should not expect to always see the latest versions available. However, I am now wondering, is it better, security-wise, to stick to the 'validated' 3.0.4 or to go use the original 3.0.7? Because as all the holes of 3.0.4/5/6 are now known, I am not quite sure that sticking to 3.0.4 is for the best.
Now it came to my mind that the philosophy might simply be to use APT to get the latest valid version, and then to simply use the internal upgrade tool of phpBB to upgrade to 3.0.7. But as the phpBB as it is available for Ubuntu is really modified, in terms of files being splitted in many different folders, will the automated upgrade work?
And what will happen when Ubuntu will upgrade their version? What happens if they upgrade to a lower than latest version? Or to the latest (not even sure this would happen one day)? phpBB has an integrated upgrade feature, but what about all this for a software that doesn't have such a tool (MediaWiki for instance)?
I'm trying to install a third party development package for the TI DM355 platform. The build script for this tests for the mono package which must have been available in a previous release of Ubuntu but has been deprecated in version 10. Which package provides mono support and how can I touch the package database to make it look like mono is installed so the ./configure script will be happy?
