Ubuntu :: Red Triangle With Exclamation Mark?
Aug 19, 2010
Recently, when trying to update, a red triangle appears in the top tool bar. Here is the message in full... The repository may no longer be available or could not be corrected because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preference is correct

I can't type an exclamation mark with my keyboard. I can type other symbols that require the shift key (~ @ # $, etc) but Shift + 1 does not give an exclamation point. Here's the intriguing part: following a tip from another thread, I changed my Visual Effects setting (System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects tab) from the default "Normal" to the setting "None". Immediately after doing this, I was able to type exclamation points. Problem solved, right?
experiment to make sure the Visual Effects setting was really the culprit. So I flipped my Visual Effects back to the default "Normal", and sure enough, I stopped being able to type exclamation marks. Having verified the (apparent) cause of the issue, I tried my solution of changing the Visual Effects to "None". Of course the "solution" didn't work this time (so much for my great idea) and I am left unable to type an exclamation point.
I have concluded that the fault must lie within my user's configuration (I can type as many exclamations as I want when logged in as other users).

You could then try to narrow it down by testing out your config files in the same way one by one, if you have the patience for that.

I got a NetGear wireless router recently. Attached it to my Huawei (pardon the spelling) modem. I have a HP 540 laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 The wireless gets connected. But there's an exclamation mark almost all the time. Very frequently these days, the connection gets bogged down or websites just don't open at all. But the icon (with the exclamation mark) shows Active Connection. I don't know where to start looking for bugs. Seems odd. Wireless is connected, I can connect to sites, but there's the exclamation.. and sooner or later, connection goes off but the icon still stays the same with "active" label.

I've upgraded to 11.04 and now Evolution doesn't work right. It shows there are unread messages in my inbox, but when I click on it, it says "Error Generating Message List" at the bottom, with an exclamation mark in a red circle. When I click on that, it says "database disk image is malformed". I've uninstalled and reinstalled Evolution, but get the same message.

I have upgrade with a complete success my laptop from 9.10 to 10.04. I have only a small annoying thing: the little open folder triangle icon in Nautilus is replaced with a big horrible (IMHO) plus button. I'm java developer and I use Eclipse intensive and it uses the same icon for open Eclipse inside folder/package and it's not comfortable for me. In which way I can replace the system plus button icon with the previous triangle button icon?

Been a while since I had the 'update information is outdated' irritant, but it is back with me now. It was on 10.04 anyway and I am now running 10.10. I've checked for updates manually and get:
W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: [URL] maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192
W: Failed to fetch [URL]
W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
My other Ubuntu (10.10) box is happily downloading updates but I can't remember the last time any updates were available for the box in question.

I've been plagued with this problem now for months. Updates complete normally, but within an hour of booting my Ubuntu installation, a small, odious, snivelling icon appears in my system tray. It's a red triangle around an exclamation mark, and if I hover over it, it informs me: The update information is outdated. The may be caused by, etc. How many times (to 'check for updates and see if any of the repositories fail). They never do, and it never goes away. How can I get rid of it?

I've installed Ubuntu five months ago, and updated to 11.04. About two months ago, a red triangle started appearing in tray from now and then, with this message: The update information is outdated. This may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer available. Please update manually by clicking on this icon and then selecting 'Check for updates' and check if some of the listed repositories fail.
When I open the Update Manager to check for updates, it says:
Failed to download repository information
Check your Internet connection.
Details:
W:Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
My connection is just fine and when there actually are updates, everything works great, so I don't understand why the red triangle goes on showing up in tray.

It's up in the top "toolbar" of Natty and it has a red exclamation mark inside. It tells me my "update information is outdated" and so, naturally, I clicked it. It opens my "Update Manager" which tells me "there are no updates to install" and "The package information was last updated 11 days ago."
So I click the "check" button and the following pops up in a window:
Failed to download repository information
Check your Internet connection.
Code:
W:Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
My internet connection, contrary to the information provided, is fantastic (I've also tried 2 different locations).

I included this screenshot for clarity: The triangle is (according to my logic) wrongly rotated. Is this a bug, or an intentional choice?

There's an exclamation point next to my wireless icon up at the top which concerns me. I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday - absolutely love it. The only problem is that I'm having trouble with staying connected to my wireless network... When it is connected, there is an exclamation point next to the wireless icon.
I have Broadband internet, Belkin N Wireless router, and an Acer Aspire 5741 with the wireless device built into the laptop. This normally runs fine with Windows 7, but it doesn't automatically connect with Ubuntu 10.04...

When I'm not connected with the LAN, I have no problem, but when I'm connected the PC frozen in the first boot. Maybe is something related with Firefox, or some specific site (I think gmail). I have many tabs opened, then when I start Firefox they all opened. The first thing I do is read my emails, so I access gmail.
I'm not sure if it is related with Firefox or Gmail. I'll do some tests, like:
1- start the PC and don't use Firefox in the first minutes.
2- start Firefox and don't access gmail
What I think it is interesting is that it only happens once. Well, this is a good thing. There's also an exclamation sign in the Ubuntu tool bar saying "Crashing report detected"

For my research I have some very large files that are basically millions of lines of ten columns of numbers. These files can be up to 5 GB in size. Recently I noticed that when I made a copy of one of my files, some exclamation points appeared in it where there should not be any: in front of random numbers throughout the file. Making another copy of the file would result in exclamation points in front of different numbers in different parts of the file. Doing this many times has given me up to four exclamation points in different parts of the file. Sometimes the file copies just fine without producing any extraneous exclamation points.Additionally, I have occasionally seen a "^K" where there should be a newline (the data that should have been on the next line was instead on the previous line with a ^K in front of it) in copies that I have made of my files. I don't know if this is related or not.

Even as root when running Nautlis, it won't let me mark as executable, when the file in question is in a partition that is not / - that is, on my win7 partition. I check the box, and it unchecks immedietly. It has no problem doing so when it's on /. What do I do to make it happen?

Open synaptic. Type in the word "Game". Then you have to scroll down through the list of results and mark each one, individually. Is there any way that I can simply mark ALL the results of the search? There is an "Unmark all" button. Can we get a "Mark all" button? It would have to mark only those packages that currently appear in the right hand box.

I have setup debian lenny as router - kernel 2.6.26, iptables 1.4.4 and compiled xtables-addons 1.17 There are these rules in:
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j CONNMARK --restore-mark
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m mark ! --mark 0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m ipp2p --bit -j MARK --set-mark 1
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m mark --mark 1 -j CONNMARK --save-mark
iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -m mark --mark 1 -j ACCEPT
Unfortunatelly if I try dowload something via router by ktorrent, then there are minimum of packets with id 1 (I find that at the last rule). There are only a few 100B packet with id 1 eventhought I downloaded a few MB with k torrent

The janitor wants to remove certain applications (svn, virtualbox) which I installed the easy way by going straight to the top and installing a GUI... I then realised the GUIs sucked, so I removed them. Now the computer janitor wants to remove virtuallbox, svn, and who knows what else all because of those stupid packages! how to mark certain packages as deliberatley installed so the computer janitor will take them and their dependencies off the list and let me clean things up?

A new directory (Desktop with uppercase D) appeared in my /home/mark dir and my icons disappeared. Upon further looking, I see there are 2 directory's in my home, one called desktop (all lower case,) the other is Desktop with uppercase D. I copied the stuff from desktop to Desktop and my icons are back. Where is this information kept so I can fix it back. I guess I need to tell Linux to use desktop, but I don't know where that is.

I am following the very basic Software RAID instructions associated with 10.04. I am installing using 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04.1 as well as 10.04.2. Hardware is an HP ProLiant ML110 G6. A couple months back I installed on another ML110 G6 using the 10.04.1 install and was able to successfully install a more complicated RAID install. On that system I ran with three partitions. The swap & boot partition was setup as RAID 1 and the third partition was setup as RAID 5. This system had four 1 TB drives installed. That system boots to OS and at this time seems to be just fine.
I am trying a new install on another ML110 G6 but this time using two 2 TB drives under software RAID 1. Following the very basic instructions I am trying to create two partitions per drive. The first one as RAID 1 Swap and the second partition is also RAID 1 but should be marked bootable. This is where I am having problems. I am not allowed to mark the partition as bootable. The only way that flag seems to be changeable is if I leave the partition set to ext4. But once I change it to physical volume for RAID I lose the ability to change the boot flag.
I have tried both 10.04.2 as well as 10.04.2 install media thinking that was the problem but no go. The SATA mode setting is set to compatible which is what the working ML110 G6 is set to as well.
I am currently at a loss. Since the instructions are so simplistic, I am thinking this must be a hardware issue some how.
