When I check for updates in Update Manager, instead of downloading the files,goes through the files very quickly and says "Hit" for every file. If I try to update this information manually by running sudo apt-get update, I get this:

I am in need to create a script that queries how large a partition is and when it hits a certain percentage (say 90%) it will execute another script that tars up certain files (or they could just be part of the same script). I would create a cronjob that runs this script once a day.
I have the script that tars up the files I need, sets permissions, etc. (btw, the files in question are audit logs). I just need the part that runs something like a df -h and takes the use percentage of the /var partition in that query and if that percentage is greater than/ equal to 90%, it kicks off the tar script.
Here is a sniplet of the df -h with just the /var partition shown:

So, when the cronjob sees that the Use% is >= 90%, it would kick off the tar script...if not above 90%, it closes.
As the title says i updated my system which then needed a reboot. I also installed Mixxx djing software to try it out. So i thought id just restart the system. Usually when i boot into my desktop wireless automatically can connect to my router but not this time, wired only for now... i know theres tons of wireless issue threads but some more experienced users will be able to get straight to the point and run through some diagnostics with me.

I want to upgrade to 10.04 and I'm using Update Manager by clicking the Upgrade button at the top.
Will this delete programs (from the software centre) and files (from the my documents anf my pictures folders)?
For some weird reason my update manager can't download files from the getdeb.net server.[URL].. Why is that? Is t here a bug in my system or are the server down or something?Because it can download everything else perfectly.

It seems ther's a bug with network-manager, but I'd like to use it again as it easier and NB user-friendly.
Arg, I just removed the bad update 2. 6.35-24.now update manager wants me to install new ones; is it still the 'bad' update that messed up my wifi or has it been fixed?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was having trouble getting update-manager to work behind a proxy (without authentication). I tried everything I could find in my search, including setting http_proxy environment variable, setting the System->Preferences->Network Proxy and setting the Synaptic package manager proxy settings. Nothing seemed to work.
It turns out that the problem was that the System->Preferences->Network Proxy allows "automatic" proxy (pac file), and I had used that. update-manager doesn't do anything with this setting I guess. I changed from the automatic setting to a host/port manual setting and it began working.
I suspect this qualifies as a bug. update-manager should do something more reasonable than quietly fail if the settings are for automatic - it would be really nice if it worked, and if not then an error message.
Writing this from a 9.10 LiveCD, so I know that my hardware is working fine.My system is running 10.10 normally. Last night, the update manager popped up, as it frequently does, and said I had some packages that could be updated. So I let it update after which it said I needed to reboot. So I did, and now it doesn't recognize my network connection, and even the blinky lights on the port itself stay dark. don't know a lot about networking or stuff under the hood, but I can work a console and/or text editor if someone can tell me where to look and what to type.My hardware is (from "lspci | grep -i eth"):02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Using Ubuntu 10.04 (2.6.32-31)on a Dell studio today.Update manager offered four updates, one about networking. I accepted. After restart the Network-Manager icon had vanished from the tool bar and was replaced by a second loudspeaker control icon. No ability to link to the internet. Starting Network-Manager from the pull-down menus did not help.Muggins Noob thought, un/re-install Network Manager. Duh! Uninstall is fine, but re-installing from the web without Network-Manager, tricky. Sadly no ethernet wire available, either wifi or GSM/3G.

Running Ubuntu 9.10 (i386) with latest patches from update manager. If I try using the 4.2 archive I get the same result.
I have similar problems with aircrack-ng suite, but I'll leave that until later!
I recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 off of a disc and it worked perfectly, however after I downloaded and installed the system updates from the update manager, it stopped working and it won't even see my device. I have a Zonenet ZEW2500 USB wireless adapter.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIt started with Update Manager constantly recycling and not updating. When it starts it shows 295 files and 308MB waiting to download. When I click on 'Install Updates' it appears to go through the process, and then presents me with the same 'waiting to install' window again - and again, and again - in fact as many times as I care to click the 'Install Updates' button. No error messages appear. The 'Settings' button produces the same apparent process as the 'Install Updates' button, but doesn't present me with any other screen.
I've tried all the solutions I could find on these forums and nothing works. The sudo suggestions for Terminal usually produce error codes. adjusting a line in the 'hosts' file. When I tried this I was presented with the obstacle of not having access to the read-only file, and no matter how much I searched I couldn't find how to gain access . While investigating all these possible solutions, I was directed in turn to the Software Sources and Synaptic Package Manager applications, but when I attempted to start them, 'Starting Administrative Application' appeared briefly on the taskbar - and then disappeared!

Update Manager and Packet Manager do not work.
Ubuntu Software Center is also affected.
Ok so I having the same issue as everyone else but it still exists despite the solutions other people are experiencing. Update manager, synaptic, and apt-get are not working no aptitude on here. Update manager says: An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, Eroblem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_ i18n_Translation-en%5fUS, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.' apt-get has errors with headers, finding files, and wrong file types. I have gone to a couple locations and the files exist and the hash is correct, and the file types are correct. I have tried replacing the sources file. I have tried sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update with the same problem happening upon updating. In the same exact areas.

I have looked elsewhere for an answer and some others have had similar problems, but I have not found a reason for it happening, nor an answer. I wonder if anyone can help me please. I have been using Ubuntu for several months, can use the Terminal if I have the right commands to issue, but beyond that have limited knowledge of the system.
