Ubuntu :: Mixing Apt-* And Aptitude NOK?
Aug 25, 2010
I read somewhere that it's not a good idea to mix the use of apt-* (eg. apt-get, apt-file, etc.) and "aptitude". I guess they're not using the same database to keep track of things.Problem is, they don't offer the same features:"apt-get safe-upgrade" doesn't exist, so have to use "aptitude safe-upgrade"."aptitude show/list mypackage" doesn't show the files that an uninstalled package (ie. still in depot) contains, so have to use "apt-file show mypackage".

I am trying to upgrade an amd64 lenny system to squeeze.I've got a 2.6.32 kernel running, done aptitude update and aptitude install aptitude.When I try "aptitude safe-upgrade", it sits forever resolving dependencies.it seems to search with the resolver counting up more and more open/conflict/ whatever.I stopped it once it got over 100,000)Is it possible to get aptitude to do a safe-upgrade, perhaps using a command line option?

Is LVM sensitive to mixing different drives w/different specs? If I mix IDE and SATA drives are there issues?

I don't want to screw up my system, but I need newer versions of packages then the ones in the apt repos. What is the community consensus on the best way to mix apt package management with building bleeding edge packages from source?
Should I build the source into a package and install it with apt? Should I avoid make install?
I would also like to be able to use multiple versions of the same package, and have some sort of sym link or something to determine which version gets executed.

A while ago I reinstalled Ubuntu on my PC when I felt that Windows was about to give up. I'm glad I did. A lot of the applications I had on my Mac had equivalents on Linux, I was delighted and I haven't been needing Windows at all.
Up until recently everything was working fine, but now I think Linux is mixing up my Sound Card with my TV Tuner. When I call someone using Skype, it ends up airing white noise, however, if I've watched TV prior to that, it ends up airing the sound from whatever channel I was watching last. If I turn on the video calling function (despite the fact that I haven't got any webcam plugged in) it ends up airing video from that same channel.
It just started doing this randomly, and as I did some experiments, I discovered that it does this with all audio-input applications. (Sound Recorder etc,)
So I installed Pulseaudio device manager, and I discovered that my soundcard isn't listed under output devices.

I currently have a mirror raid array with 2x 1TB HD's (Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS SATA). They are both the standard 512 byte sector HD's. I just ordered a new 1TB Hard Drive (Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EARS SATA) as I want to wipe the current mirror raid and use the 3 disks in a raid 5 array.
But to my suprise, the new 1TB HD is an "advanced format" HD with 4k byte sectors... Am I screwed or can this 4k byte sector HD be used in a software raid 5 array along with the 512 byte sector hard drives?
(The WD hard drive says you can jumper it to work with XP which can only use 512 byte sectors... there's also a utility you can run that does something to make it compatible with XP too.... Makes me wonder if these new drives are backwards compatible?)

I have Ubuntu Server 8.04 (LTS) installed and running well, but there a few packages that I'd like to upgrade, without upgrading the entire system (e.g, apache2). Is it possible to include both the Hardy (8.04) and Lucid (10.04) distributions in sources.list? Is that even safe? By the same token, can I add a Maverick repo to my list? I'm using "apache2" as an example, but this is more of a general question.
How should situations like this usually be handled, when only a select few packages would profit from an upgrade that resides in a different Ubuntu release?
On a similar note, is it possible to install two different versions of the same package using the APT tools? Let's say I want two different versions of php5 -- how would I go about doing that?

How is this supposed to work out? I noticed some distros are really good about recognizing your other linux distros and some not. They keep recognizing windows, but not other linux distros. Also, I have run into a few problems when my operating systems were on different hard drives. I have my operating systems running from a small 250gb laptop hard drive with special mounting and am using my TB hard drive for internal storage /data.However, my last attempt at installing a linux partition on the TB hard drive with Windows and another linux partition on the laptop hard drive didnt work out so well. Updating grub via the command line didnt sort this out. Sudo su root Apt-get update grub (or grub update) or whatever didnt work before when I tried it.

I have 2x 1.5TB hard disks and I'm going to buy a new 2TB drive soon. First though I just wanted to check that I could partition off the first 1/4 to 1/3 of the 2TB drive (leaving 1.5TB or more free) and install Debian to that part, then use the remainder of the disk in combination with the 2x 1.5 TB drives in RAID 5? i.e. can you mix whole drives and with partitions from other drives in RAID 5 and/or is it best to just stick with complete drives for the RAID array?I only have room for 3 drives in the small mATX case that houses my NAS device and I want to maximise storage capacity and minimise expense.

This may be due to a case (non-)sensitivity issue. I have two subfolders on the mail server called "Spam" and "spam". On the mail server (Dovecot), these are directories ".INBOX.Spam" and ".INBOX.spam". The issue I am seeing is that the information shown in the index area of Evolution's window has, for some mail, information that belongs to other mail in the other folder. But when I click on that line, I see the corresponding correct email that should be in that position.
Because this happens to be spam, I just went ahead and trashed everything in one of the folders. That one action trashed everything in both folders.Is there a way to tell Evolution to dismiss everything it thinks it knows about the state of mail on the mail server and re-acquire it all? Or could this be an IMAP server issue with Dovecot?

We recently bought an i7 X58 server with 6 memory slots. Since it was cheaper, we opted to get the min memory configuration with the machine (3x1Gb) and then buy 3x4Gb separately. It seems a shame to waste the 3Gb, so I'm wondering how to "mix" the memory without sending everything into single channel mode. The information I've read is rather confusing, and often contradictory.

Starting over, based on this thread: [URL] And my problem which is the same! I have the same audio chipset and experienced the same issues. I hope there is nothing about that chip. I tried with XFCE4 on Slackware 13.1 and now KDE4 on Debian, I found a workaround on XFCE by installing gstreamer and using it instead of xine as the phonon backend. That workaround apparently doesn't work on KDE.
Something interesting (also in the original thread): Software mixing through alsa DOES work since I can play several files in aplay (command line) or xine (gui standalone) simultaneously. I don't have another soundcard. Should I install pulseaudio anyway? Switching to OSS ?

I want to be able to open a file (support for .mp3 and .ogg a must) and add effects, change pitch and tempo, add beats (either default or midi created), mix with other songs (or clips from), be able to change levels of the high/mid/low, alter gain and frequencies ... all that fun stuff.
programs I already have are:
MixXx
LMMS (Linux MuliMedia Studio)
mhWavedit
-and-
gAlan
And it doesn't seem that any of those have the features I am looking for. I am running Zorin OS 4 (ubuntu 11.04 based) and Dreamlinux 3.5 (debian- unsure which release) on a fujitsu lifebook 5 series - S6240 (it's kinda old 2005).

I understand it is not generally a good idea to mix 13 and 13-current packages but I am installing OpenProj which requires JDK and the installed JRE (6-18) is up-level from 13's JRE (6-16) and back-level from the 13-current JDK (6-19). Presumably JRE and JDK should be at the same level. Would it be better to take both JRE and JDK to 13-current (6-19) or to take both to 13 (6-16)?

I just upgraded a 9.10 system to 10.04.The family that uses this computer speaks both English and Spanish. The 9.10 system used both fine; however the new 10.04 is broken. Mixing the Spanish and the English after I tried removing the Spanish (because everyone's account went to Spanish even if they had chosen English).I want to go 100% English, once it is working again, install the Spanish support again.

I need to run Opencv 1.1 or lower to be compatible with the systems at my University where most of my work is done. 9.10 allowed 1.1 through apt, but before that I remember all kinds of nightmares getting OpenCV to run with FFMPEG. If I go back to self-installing 1.1, am I going to have a repeat of those nightmares? I guess a better way to phrase it, is there any way to get opencv 1.1 through aptitude?

What's the difference between apt-get and aptitude? Could I use either to effectively update my system? (ie. do "apt-get update" and "aptitude update" do the same thing?)

So, aptitude has been remove from Maverick. I realise I can just install it if I wish to use it over apt-get, but is this this a sign that I should really be using apt-get now instead?

I am trying to install postfix but there seems to be an old install of qmail hanging on to port 25. I cannot see qmail in aptitude and I can't see any way to uninstall it.
result from:
# ps auxww | grep qmail
root 4907 0.0 0.0 3724 416 ? S 09:08 0:00 supervise qmail-qmqpd
[Code].....
It seems to be "tcpserver" which is listing on port 25.
Is there any way I can free port 25 and allow postfix to listen on it?
