Ubuntu :: Maverick Won't Download Packages?

Nov 12, 2010

I just upgraded to Maverick Meerkat not too long ago. Was running just fine up until it stopped downloading packages.won't download updates, new programs from the software center, synaptic packet manager, or the apt-get command in terminal.It keeps telling me that I need to check my internet connection but I can't find anything wrong with it.Everything else is working just fine. t would be greatly appreciated if someone could shed some light on this issue.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Install Packages In Maverick (10.10)?

Feb 4, 2011

I decided to give a new download of Ubuntu 10.10 a chance. It went on fine,I even installed VirtualBox with noi problem, But I am light on assessories,particularly gimp. I tried the Ubuntu Software Center, then I tried the Synaptic Package Manager for this and other packages, and guess what? I kept getting errors like this:dpkg: failed to read on buffer copy for copy info file `/var/lib/dpkg/available': Input/output error
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)I even found a link that showed how to include gimp on 10.04 or 10.10 with a few command line statement, and I thought that would fly, but I got the same error again. Another problem is that my monitor keeps fading to a sort of blue-gray color indicating the processor is having trouble keeping up, but I have only FireFox running, and the keyboard locks up after after just a a smaill handful of charactrers are typed, then after about 10 seconds or so, the keyboard buffer flushes to the screen.

This certainly is not typical of earlier Ubuntu versions, and I wonder if anybody else has similar problems or knows the cause and cure.I am down to the point of asking myself, what is so urgent with the Ubuntu developers that we are having more and more conflicts between hardware and software to resolve with each new release? And that they are pulling more and more packages out of the LiveCD in order to make room for something that is bulking up in some other manner? What are you people up to, make Ubuntu more like Windows with coming releases? If I wanted Windows, I would stick with or get a newer version of Windows.

Ubuntu Servers :: Upgraded From Maverick To Natty - Installed Unwanted Extra Packages

Apr 30, 2011

I upgraded my dedicated server using the do-release-upgrade command, and it seems to have installed many extra packages I do not require. This is a headless server in a datacentre, yet the upgrade caused me to install GUI packages I do not need. Is there a way to quickly remove all but the default server packages?

Ubuntu :: Apt Can't Download Packages?

May 31, 2011

I don't know where it can come from, but apt won't download any package. Here is the error I get (after a few minutes) :

Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:

[Code].....

I believe it uses http, so that is not a protocol blocked by the ISP.

And it is not automatic : last time I was about to report it here, the bug disappeared (and I didn't report because I thought it could have been fixed somehow, and I couldn't get the error message)

And wired connection works fine, too.

Actually, I just download the package from the address in the log via firefox. I really have no clue, since it is a pretty fresh install (no more than two weeks)

The only thing I can think of would be some bug in apt. I googled for an apt bug, and I saw that apt's http method 'doesn't handle redirects', but that was in 2005. Besides, I wouldn't be the only one to have this problem, and that doesn't explain why it works with a wired connection.

I didn't do anything but writing this post. It really looks random. What can I do when it happens to find out where it comes from?

Ubuntu Installation :: Can Download Packages From Windows

Jan 5, 2010

It's on a desktop that has a dialup modem but no other Internet access (and I haven't even gotten the modem working yet...). So I have it hooked up to a Win2K laptop on the network that is Sharing its (dialup) Internet connection.I can take the laptop to the public library and leech off their wifi to download stuff at much higher speeds. It's not practical for me to take the desktop to the library... Is there a way for me to use the Windows laptop (at the library) to download the packages Update Manager tries to get for Ubuntu, bring it home, transfer them to the Ubuntu desktop, and have Update Manager just install 'em from there?

Ubuntu Installation :: Apt Authentication - 15 Packages Still To Download

Jun 17, 2010

The other night I tried to upgrade my system to Karmic Koala. The machine took forever to download the packages and when it was almost completed, the installation phase in the Update Manager suspended. Both keyboard and mouse weren't responsive so I was forced to shut the system down manually. Now when I boot up, it loads the desktop, a dialogue box pops up stating there's an Apt Authentication issue. When I click "Run this action now" it opens a window showing it is about to download 15 packages.

But unfortunately before it can load, the system hangs. If I reboot, close the dialogue box and try to use the Update Manager as a means to correct the problem, the same thing happens. In addition to trying to find a solution, I'm keen to avoid doing a full, clean install, as I don't want to lose the system configs and data (I've got 200gb in music files and use the system as a music server). I've also tried to load in "recovery mode" but it doesn't load properly.

Ubuntu :: Download Packages For Update From Another Computer?

Jul 17, 2010

My internet connection is one where I have to pay according to the amount of data transferred and Ubuntu updates require large downloads. I was wondering if there was some way to export the list of packages required for an update in ubuntu and then go and download them from another PC. (The other PC in question will be running windows).I'd love to know of any apps that can do this ..If there aren't any can someone tell me if there is a way to do this? I am just getting used to Linux but I still have no experience at all with writing shell scripts (which I suppose would be needed for this sort of thing).

So in summary, this is what I want. Synaptic (or any other package manager in Linux) should generate a file with all the packages that should be downloaded. A program on the PC with a better internet connection then interprets this file and downloads the packages creating a local copy of the packages. These local copies are then transferred to the Linux box which required the updates and the updates are applied..

Ubuntu Networking :: Can Download Packages (apt-get) - Ping If Disconnect WAN

Jun 7, 2010

I have 2 nic cards. One I use for my LAN and the other for my WAN (ftp, web). I am using a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. If I disconnect the WAN I can download packages (apt-get), ping etc. If both nic cards are active I cannot do either. This behavior is the same whether or not iptables is enabled. BTW I am using the server version. I was only able to find examples that used a GUI, nothing from the command line.

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Download And Store Packages For Future Use

Oct 18, 2010

I'd like to find out if it's possible to download and store (not install) official Ubuntu installation files, and then choose to install them whenever. I don't always have internet available and having to be connected every time I want to install a program really sucks. What happens if I had to format or something and I just wanna install all my programs again but no internet connection? Is there also away I can back up my Ubuntu and when I restore, I get all my downloaded and installed programs back, without having to re-install?

Debian :: Download Packages And Dependencies

Jun 15, 2010

I'm hitting my head against the wall trying to figure out (and find any information on) how to download a package and all its dependencies.I've tried to clean the cache,$ sudo apt-get clean and then download a package and its depednencies,but it doesn't download dependencies that are already installed.I need to do this to install a package on a machine that doesn't see the net.I remember doing this somehow ages ago, and I think I might have even combined the package and its dependencies into a single self-contained .deb using dpkg.

General :: Download Packages With Apt But Don't Install Them?

Feb 22, 2010

I'm running a Knoppix Live CD, and I want to install ClamAV. What I'd really like is to download all the relevant packages and save them onto a USB pen, and then I can install it easily whenever I run the Live CD anywhere and update the definitions at my leisure without having to connect to the internet or go through remodelling Knoppix. I'm not entirely sure how to do this though, mainly because of dependencies. I would think it would be along the lines of cd'ing to the usb and running:

Code:

apt-get -d build-dep clamav-base
apt-get -d build-dep clamav

and then to install use dpkg, but I'm not sure how to get it to look for the dependencies in the same place:

Code:

dpkg -i clamav-base
dpkg -i clamav

I'm just about to go and try it, but I thought I'd ask first to get the wisdom , but also to see if anyone else does something similar and whether they think this is a good way to achieve the goal, regardless of whether this technically works.

General :: How To Download And Install Different Packages

Apr 2, 2010

Right now I am using UBUNTU Hardy Haron. I just moved from windows to linux. It is very easy to install any games or software in windows. Just double click exe, next - next and finish. I want to install some mario games in my pc (ubuntu). I have downloaded tar.bz2 of it. Extracted it and configure and install-sh both are there. I already tried by ./configure. It requires g++, cpp several packages. Now my question comes. What are those packages? How to find out them? How to install them? Is there any other easy way for installation? What are different type of compilers over here?

Ubuntu Installation :: Download Packages And Transfer To Non Internet Machine?

Mar 23, 2010

I have a server which is in an isolated LAN onto which I would like to install some packages from the Ubuntu Repositories.I realise I can go to packages.ubuntu.com and download them one at a time following the dependencies through but this is a bit of a nightmare.Is there anyway I can use the -d option of apt-get to download the files on another machine so I can transfer the lot over in one go?It is probably important to note that the server is running 8.04.4 and the other machine I have run 9.10 and may or may not have said packages installed.

Fedora :: Download And Install Packages At Same Time?

Aug 28, 2010

I was wondering if there is a possibility to configure yum in such way that it would download and install packages at the same time?What i mean is that after downloading certain package it continues to download the next one but at the same time it is installing the one it has already downloaded? Is it possible in fedora? I remeber back when i was using openSUSE 11.2 that the behaviour of the installer was configurable and would let users to choose if they want to download all packages first and then install them or download a package, keep downloading next ones but install the already downloaded ones .

OpenSUSE :: Zypper Won't Download Any Packages / Resolve This?

Zypper seems unable to reach the openSUSE servers. I am currently on a network that may or may not block certain traffic, so I don't know if their firewall is in the way. I am able to browse the web without any problems. Sometimes Zypper downloads proceed eventually, but the download is doggone slow. I did this code...

Apparently Zypper has trouble downloading this URI, but if I open it in Chrome it loads perfectly without any problems. How can I find the root of this problem?
