Ubuntu :: Programing Errors When Trying To Install / Remove Apps
Aug 10, 2011
I was messing around trying to be able to download minecraft to my computer (it's very confusing for Linux, and I know nothing about this system!) Now when I try to install apps in the Software Center I get this error:
There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 961, in simulate
trans.unauthenticated = self._simulate_helper(trans)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 1085, in _simulate_helper
return depends, self._cache.required_download,
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 226, in required_download
pm.get_archives(fetcher, self._list, self._records)
SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the sun-java6-jre package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
I've seen a solution that seemed to work for someone else but when I go into the Terminal and type in the commands it asks for my sudo password and I have no idea what that means/is because I never set any kind of password like that.

i'm using ubuntu 10.10.
1. why is it that when i add a ppa to the repository and then i type sudo apt-get update,it has an error for that ppa but i can still install it? deluge is the main one that does that.
2. when i install apps, it tells me to use apt-get autoremove to remove unused packages but i need some of them like java etc. how do i take some apps off of the autoremove list?

Last night I attempted to install the PulseAudio Equalizer. It appears that i followed some old instructions, because the repository does not seem to exist.
Segment from sudo apt-get update:
Code:
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick/main Sources
404 Not Found
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick/main i386 Packages
404 Not Found
Fetched 4,923B in 1s (2,476B/s)
[Code]....
How do I remove this bunk PPA? It's blocking my ability to update my software, etc.

Using Synaptic and/or terminal is great and so easy, but i have noticed that applications are not always the latest versions that are in the repository ie cups for instance So if i wanted to download the latest app from a website, what is the best way to install, based on having an earlier version already installed. Is it better to just install over an older version or remove the older version, and then install the new version clean
If you remove and older version of an application first, what is the best method for doing this and removing any residual files etc that might be left on your system?

I haven't tried any random password patterns yet but I have tried knoppix because of a suggestion and it didn't work. I am useing knoppix as my OS not from CD or DVD. I would like to add and remove unused or needed apps. My linux language is week for the time being so I use the Software Center option from the Preferences option from the Main Menue.When I click on the remove icon a screen comes up asking for the Authentication Password and I don't have it, I as can not change the time on the desktop because it says that I am not the owner. How do I reset all the passwords and regain complete control of my system

I am having some trouble installing from both the now legacy "add/remove applications" and the ubuntu software center.
The add/remove applications gives me an error, The ubuntu software center, does not. It just stalls, and takes forever at doing, what I can imagine, nothing. It does however most of the times install what i am asking it to do.
What might cause this? I am having some trouble sometimes at connecting to repositories.
Oh yeah, ubuntu software center, just does not let me click install...

This is the error I get when removing gnome-session:
alex@alex:~$ sudo apt-get remove gnome-session
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
ubuntu-desktop : Depends: gnome-session but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: banshee-extension-ubuntuonemusicstore but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: gnome-accessibility-themes but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: ubuntuone-client-gnome but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
And this is what happens when I do apt-get -f install:
alex@alex:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

everytime i try to install the updates from the update manager i get this error message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, i have tried running the sudo dpkg --configure -a in the terminal but when it asks for the password the keyboard stops working so i cant type anything into the terminal. can anyone help me fix this? My other problem was when i try to run the Add/Remove Applications i can't ever install any of the software because it says its "waiting for other tasks" i'm not sure why its doing this either.

The first is Mp3 which is no problem for Ubuntu. The second is WMP, also no problem. The third format is WMA, which uses an Overdrive Media Console designed to run in Windows. This has stumped me. I was hoping to run it in Wine, but the media console refuses to download into Ubuntu. Then I tried downloading the audio file straight into Ubuntu. What I get is a text file in some programing language, parts of which are in readable english describing the book and lines of code refering actual audio files(HTML tags?).So Can anybody tell me how to play WMA audio books in Ubuntu. The rest of the media is installed and works perfectly.

since last month i'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i have installed lots of apps and packages i needed on my old 20GIG hard drive and i'm very happy with it but now i had to use this 20gig hard on other old PC and erase it and install all the stuff again on my 500 gig hard drive dual boot with win7 but i don't have enough Internet bandwidth to download all apps again and i want to use my current apps installed on my old hard drive
i tried cloning with Acronis true image but i didn't work then i tried pasting my old hard /var/cache/apt/archives to my new installation but it didn't work neither. does anyone know how can i clone or use my already downloaded packages on my new installation?
