For sure the 2 PCs have the same OS Fedora 14. How to install or catch those updates in order for me to install them offline on the other PC ?
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.
I have an offline Ubuntu 10.10 install at another house, i cannot bring it to this house to install the software I need. I would like to install a program which can convert a CD to MP3 files. Can anyone tell me how i cant get this software onto a USB and then how i can install it when I take it to the other computer? EDIT: The computer with internet acccess is Windows 7 not Ubuntu!

I have Debien 7.8 Wheezy installed on my laptop, along with the GNOME desktop. As I absolutely hate the new GNOME layout I want to install MATE so I can get the classic GNOME 2 desktop back. But I have no internet connection here at home (I only have my phone for internet and I can't tether it).
So I'm wondering if it's possible for me to download all the packages and install MATE offline? I don't even know what all the packages are that I need.I can download the packages with my phone with no issue.
I installed Debian on my laptop with the Debian DVDs in case you were wondering. when I downloaded the Debian DVD ISOs, I only saw three ISO files, but the documentation said that it's a 10 DVD set. What happened to the other 7 DVD ISOs?

However, I can't access localhost from the browser because I don't have a webserver. How do I install apache or LAMP in general without the "yum" command? Where can I find all the dependencies needed?
View 6 Replies View RelatedOn my other PC I was installing updates. It's just frozen up for some reason (assume screen saver kicked and did something) What should I do to minimize any file damage? Pressing the power button may be my only option? And if I do shut it down do I just run updates again to pick up where I've left off. I'm a bit concerned I'll end up with corrupted files
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running a dual boot system - Ubuntu / Win. XPI installed the security updates in Ubuntu and followed the prompt to restart the computer. Now I can't boot into Ubuntu. When I try, the machine simply restarts. I can still log into windows just fine, but Ubuntu won't load no matter how many times I try.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm new to ubuntu I last used it 2 years ago and did not like it one bit but a friend told me about 11.04 so thought id give it a go and I absolutely love it. its far superior to windows 7 imo. now my only problem so far is when installing updates it seems to hang on applying . but im sure there should be some indication of progress.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a dual boot system (Compaq Presario CQ61) with Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed. A while back I updated my Ubuntu system to the 11.04. All went smoothly. Then recently, when the system prompted me, I installed some updates. Since then when I try to boot into Ubuntu I end up at a CLI with (initramfs) as the prompt.I can still successfully boot off of the Windows 7 partition.After reading a lot of articles describing similar problems, and failing to find a fix, I reinstalled 11.04.The system came up without any problems. BUT then, as usual, the system prompted me to install updates. Once I was done installing them and rebooted the computer I was back at the (initramfs) prompt.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is my first tryst with linux, so this might seem to be a very trivial problem: While installing updates for ubuntu 9.04, there was an unexpected crash saying that 'E:dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run sudo dpkg--configure-a' to correct the problem. When I tried to follow the instruction, it said that sudo could not be found. Is this a directory problem? If yes, how do I rectify it?

I have installed Ubuntu and all is working Ok except when I try to add the suggested updates it is telling me I do not have enough free space. When I set it up I gave Ubuntu a 10GB partition but it does not seem to have worked. How can I add the suggested updates.

View 2 Replies View Relatedi have been running Ubuntu 10.10 for about a month or so now without any major problems and last night the update manager popped up like it does with some upgrades i needed to install. So i installed them and clicked restart to install updates. When i restarted and logged in, i clicked firefox, the loading bubble popped up and then froze (note: freezes when using transmission, empathy, and various other apps not just firefox) . I kept restarting and never made it past 5 minutes without it freezing up. So i booted into windows removed everything linux, reinstalled it, and everything worked like normal. Then did the updates again and same exact thing after restarting.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 64bit to run along Winxp in a dual boot format. I have heard many good things about Ubuntu but am using it for the first time. I have used a ntfs partition of 30GB for Ubuntu. During the installation part I was asked for the size and I gave 8 GB, I read that this was recommended. There are quite a few things I would like to know.
1. What's the difference between Ubuntu software center & Synaptic software manager?
2. Can you do everything easily via the GUI?
3. My Nvidia 8800 GT works on 1440x900 on my win xp OS. Here it doesn't seem to get to that. Additional drivers window says that 173 version is active but not in use.
4. Where do all the updates/new softwares/ drivers etc get installed? I mean the path. Like in Xp I can give a path for the installation. Can I do that in here?
5. I want to install GNS 3 which is a routing simulator and have heard that Ubuntu is very stable for it.
6. How can I get desktop icons on the desktop?
7. What's the use of 4 workspaces? I mean why is it used and what are the advantages.
I tired searching the Internet but most of them just so confusing that it feels to difficult and am afraid I might break something. Plus most of the commands are in cli that I am not able to grasp.
When I try to install software updates by clicking on the red arrow "update" button, I get a final result stating the following:
Error authenticating some packages
It was not possible to authenticate some packages. This may be a transient network problem. You may want to try again later. See below for a list of unauthenticated packages.
initscripts
libavc1394-0
libtiff4
sysv-rc
sysvinit-utils
I've tried this a few times...same result over the past 10 days.

I started using ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my Dell Studio 15 laptop. Installing ubuntu has never been this easy! I used CD which used WUBIInstaller to install Ubuntu. Then I restarted my machine and selected Ubuntu from 'OS selection screen'.
I connected to my wireless broadband in few minutes and found a pop-up of 'update manager' showing 305 new updates to be download and to be installed. I installed all updates worth 370 MB and in middle got an pop-up of GRUB telling me to configure GRUB on some path. I just selected that path and clicked on FORWARD button.Then installation of updates got over and it asked me to restart machine. I restarted machine but on OS selection screen,when i selected Ubuntu it didn't boot Ubuntu but instead machine restarted again. I'm not able to boot into Ubuntu.
I recently installed ubuntu(32-bit 10.04) alongside windows 7 in my hp laptop(64-bit).When i installed all the updates available and restarted, a blank screen came after i chose to boot ubuntu.On pressing the power button, ubuntu closing animation appeared & it shut down.Is it because of my hardware drivers not supporting some updates.Do I have to re-install ubuntu..if yes, how do i remove it?..is deleting the ubuntu partion ok..how should i know which updates can be installed..also, are there any problems in running 32-bit version on a 64-bit laptop?

After a few minutes, my computer said that no hard drive operations were going on and the command line hadn't said anything else so I decided to reboot (i'm VERY impatient) and now when fedora boots,t hangs at a black command line like screen. I left it an hour to see if it would do anything - but nothing! Then i put in a few commands and it didn't respond to any of them
