In the "software sources" windows under the "Updates" tab I have checked "Pre-released updates" and installed all the updates. I no longer want to track the proposed updates and have unchecked that item. Now am back to just security and recommended checked. How do i get it to downgrade the packages that it has modified when I had "Pre-released" checked? I want to get back on the stable "Recommended Updates". It seems to have changed what it looks at for updates but did not downgrade the packages.
i'm using ubuntu lucid.apt-get suggests me ubuntu updates from the lucid-proposed repository even if it's not enabled in my sources.list.Perhaps it was enabled in the past but now it's not.How can i avoid that unwanted packages ?
In KPackageKit I can't uncheck the 'Proposed updates' or the 'Unsupported updates' boxes in the 'Kubuntu updates' section of the 'Updates' tab of the 'Software Sources' window (brought up by clicking on the 'Edit Origins' button in the 'Settings' tab of 'KPackageKit'). [URL]
Two weeks ago I consumed all available FC13 updates. It was a terrible mistake. After that my my PC does not function properly and I have no clue how to fix it. I would like to get my PC in the previous (healthy) state. Is there an easy way to undo the updates? More than 60 packages were updated, but I do not remember which ones.
I am more a 'terminal-apt-get-fan' then an 'update-manager-fan'. The only thing I don't know how to do, is get a list of proposed updates after sudo apt-get-update, like the update manager shows me after I pressed the "check" button. Now I bet there is a way, I just can't find it.
Is there a way of tracking updates without booting into the system. I am still on Karmic because of an annoying 'black screen at boot' bug. However i've got Lucid on a test partition waiting when the bug is fixed to upgrade my main system. I do not want to boot into my test system to check if there are any updates but track them online in some way to see when it's worth to boot to upgrade.
I see that an update to 6.0.2 is scheduled for Sat, June 25, 2011: [URL] will I need to add "squeeze-proposed-updates" to my sources.list for 6.0.2, or will leaving "squeeze-updates" in place as is be sufficient? My current version and sources.list:
I no longer want that my system is updated from pre-released updates(lucid proposed). About 50 packages are from lucid proposed and i want to downgrade them all. I know how to downgrade a package but i don't know how to downgrade all the packages at once (so that all 50 packages would be downgraded simultaneously).
I had been running "Etch" and upgraded to "Lenny". Now my mouse is NOT tracking correctly. When I move the mouse and then press and release the 'ctrl' key to show where the mouse pointer is the circle indicators are not where the pointer is. I therefore cannot make any selections from menus as 'lenny' thinks the mouse is somewhere other than where the pointer is. Also are there keyboard hot keys that i can use to access the menus?
please provide solution to [URL]I have updated ubuntu 10.4 to 10.10 and VLC get crashed. Now I am not able to do uninstall/ install VLC or any other software/updatehere are things I have tried but no use.
I've tried to update Audacious 2.1 to a version, 2.3, that isn't yet on Karmic or Hardy repositories, by adding a PPA to my software sources through this line:
For some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.
Probably a simple question, but i was wondering why is there a new kernel available (2.6.34) which is not proposed in apt-get update? Now I've got to download .deb files and upgrade manually. I would like to be able to install unstable / testing releases for packages. I have checked everything in software sources, but I still don't get the newest kernel proposed. Another question: what are "backports"?
I've been reading an interesting article about the fact that ISPs are able to collect net data from web users. What I think It's missing in the article is that in some locations it's compulsory for ISPs to collect and save all your networking data (For example, in Spain, where I live, it's compusory to store people's activity on the net for a period of 6 months (minimum) to 2 years (maximum). In the article they state that Witopia can do the job of encrypting your browsing activity and therefore mantain your privacy. Do you know any open source or, at least, free alternative to Witopia? What do you think about the article and about the ways of safeguarding your privacy?
I do not believe the firewall connection tracking is enabled. I have Centos 5.6 with 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.centos.plus kernel. I went into the kernel .config and I see CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK=m. But when I do a lsmod I do not see this module.
Is there a linux compatible program for tracking a stolen laptop? I tried Prey, but I can't get it installed and working. Something that works for the non-uber geek?
I was recently looking into using tail -f to monitor some text files like so: tail -f /var/sometext However, when I did some testing, it doesn't seem to work. What I did was I created a new file and ran: tail -f /home/name/text Then, I opened the log in vim and did some editing, saved it, and it seems that tail is not "seeing" the change.
The weird thing is, running echo "hello" >> /home/name/text seems to work fine (tail sees the change). I read somewhere this has something to do with file descriptors and new inodes being created when saving a file.
i want to performance a test of a network, without using connection-tracking.
how to disable connection-tracking,
i used the following iptables commands to disable connection-tracking, iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -p tcp -j NOTRACK iptables -t raw -A OUTPUT -p tcp -j NOTRACK
but it is not working, when i see /proc/net/ip_conntrack, this file shows the existing connections.
Fresh install of debian lenny / mostly default load
VLC 1.0.5 install cd rom dvd rom vlc plays cd (no audio but can see tracking of song) but not dvd fstab (cannot edit -permissions and don't know how to effect the proper permissions) fstab /dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 someone recommended changing to /dev/cdrom1 /""
Don't see how that would fix audio but anyway cannot change fstab.
checked advanced input / codec in VLC dvd = dev/hdb cd = dev/hda
Totem -plays the dvd but quality / volume is not there, prefer VLC. Soundjuicer plays the audio with sound nicely. Just would like VLC to do it all.
I've been trying to find a source tracking website similar to Freshmeat so that I can keep an eye on version updates.
I need one because I am trying to build myself a Linux distro from scratch and it would really help if there was a single source where I could see software updates, and download from.
I've introduced myself to OpenCV a bit now and can do some of the most basic things with it. My current goal is to have a solid color object (say a red ball) and have a camera be able to find that object. Anybody know of any resources to start learning how to do this? Any tutorials/books? Or is there something I should be searching for instead of color detection and tracking that will give me things more in the right direction?
Quote:Originally Posted by qweasd cannot wait. I upgraded to 13.1, but now I am planning a clean install, with the intention of making the new system even more stable and better documented. This time I really want to keep track of ALL the changes I inflict to the stock configuration files in /etc, anyone knows of good way to do that? I was thinking git, but may be it's overkill. I guess, I could simply make a list of files I changed...es,What I do is that I have /root/orig and /root/local. Orig contains a copy of every stock file Pat ships that I make a change to, and I keep my changed copy in /root/local and then copy it into place.
Code: root@slack:~# tree /root/orig /root/local /root/orig
Been using since summer 2009 the xserver no backfill from PPA: [URL] and it was working fine with my ATI video card. No heavy CPU usage when restoring from minimized and a general performance boost were the results of that use.But recently made an upgrade and realized that xserver-xorg-core package (check it from synaptic manager) has been upgraded to a jaunty-proposed version and the problems started to appear again!So using Synaptic I selected this package and hit CTRL-E key in order to choose the nobackfill version. This way things got back to normal!
I am looking for a basic online expense tracking system that is:Web-based. Runs on LAMP, etc.Stable, reliable, etc.Open source.The end-user uses a web browser to enter the date of each expense, amount, vendor, etc.Print a periodic report and hand it over to the acccountant.
Is there a good way to set up internet tracking on an openSUSE 11.3 computer? I don't want users visiting porn sites or any other nonsense, and if they do, I want to know about it. Is there a good program that the administrator can set up to report this kind of thing or at least track it? Obviously, this would need to track all websites visited regardless of the application/browser used, and would need to be completely inaccessible to users. I don't want them having the ability to turn it off or circumvent it somehow.
It's missing the data on bytes and packets transmitted through that particular connection. I had written a program that uses this information. Was this pulled out of the kernel on purpose or did I miss some option when compiling the new kernel for my box?
