Ubuntu Servers :: Package Not Found While Install Gnome-core On 10.04
Jul 29, 2010
I'm having some problems getting the GUI installed in my Server 10.04 installation.
I've installed the Ubuntu server 10.04 32bit with a VMWare player on a Windows XP Pro host. Everything seems to have gone ok but at the end of the install it said that VMWare items are being installed and while that happens I can only use the terminal mode or I could wait for the GUI to load. Well the GUI never loaded so I logged in through the terminal.
I realized immediately that I'm over my head as I'm more familiar with DOS rather than bash or the terminal commands of Ubuntu. So I tried to look up on the internet (from my host machine) on how to start or install the GUI interface for the server. I've found lots of things that show commands like:
sudo apt-get install gnome gdm
or
sudo aptitude install gnome-core
but in all cases I get a message that the package is not found. So I'm wondering how do I find the package so that I can install this?
I installed ubuntu server and got it set up, and im trying to install shorewall as a firewall, but whenever i do sudo apt-get install shorewall i get a package not found error.
I installed Gnome on my server using the gnome-core and xinit packages so I could use MySQL Workbench.I start up Gnome when I need it via startx./etc/init.d/gdm doesn't exist so I can't use gdm start or gdm stopHow can I stop Gnome and the X server in this situation?
I just bought a netbook that came with Ubuntu. I partitioned the drive so I can multiboot and have put Fedora Core 12 LXDE spin next to Ubuntu netbook edition. The netbook is System76 manufacturer and they have put all their drivers in a .deb package. How can I use this file in Fedora Core 12?
I have dowmloaded the latest version of Gnome Nanny, but have run into an instal problem at the first hurdle:
I have extracte the folder to Documents: Cd/ to the folder and run the ./configure command and get this message: No package 'pygtk-2.0' found
I have checked the install files and edited the lines which contain the above to now read pygtk -2.0 >=2.8 as 2.8 is the version of python I have installed. In package manager it only goes back to v2.2.
I am trying to install the build-essential package on my new Jaunty install, but I seem to get 404 Not Found for all the repositories. I have tried main repositories, US ones and the ones recommended in Software Sources as being the best choice, but I get the same response. I can't install any packages because of this. Could someone help me find the repositories for this distro?
Ubuntu Server Edition, 32bit, fresh install today (2011.07.07). Usually the first thing thing I do after a server install, I update, upgrade... then install Emacs to configure services. I can get to it from my other servers and PC's, have an internet connections from that server // so I know things should be okay...
I'm thinking maybe it's a repo problem in my source list... and I'm not sure what repo Emacs is from. I'd like to check this, before doing a reinstall on this. I had just added in the mounts & fstabs on my data RAID arays... Would be more work, but still not too far into it.
I am attempting to install some applications on Debian 8 Jessie, with Gnome Desktop, and every package I try to install keeps coming up with the error E: Package Not found, I have been searching then trying for a solution on the Web, which includes apt-get update, and there are none for Debian 8 at all.
I would like to install svn, but I am unable to install. sudo apt-get update gives me :
Ign file: eeepc Release.gpg Ign file:/home/user/packages/ eeepc/main Translation-en Ign file:/home/user/packages/ eeepc/main Translation-en_US Ign file: eeepc Release Ign file: eeepc/main amd64 Packages Err file: eeepc/main amd64 Packages File not found W: Failed to fetch file:/home/user/packages/dists/eeepc/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz File not found
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. sudo apt-get install apache2 gives me : Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package apache2
I noticed that in Fedora 15 Beta when you choose a minimal install then add ONLY the defaults of the "GNOME Desktop" package, you will get this error: gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 has a required package:
system-backgrounds-gnome
When I look for gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 it is not on any installation menu list. I prefer gnome, but installed KDE and that worked. Any ideas of getting gnome to work?
I'm using a new Distro and after installing it and randomly searching for help on websites on how to install a .Deb file using dpkg at the konsole/terminal it says Bash : dpkg: Command not found . how is this possible ? Do I have to know about all the packages in the package manager to install this. slight difference for me ... knowing what I have and knowing if I need Apr93-323? (whatever) installed first or not ? The only thing I know is that I have the Iso image installed ... which is my linux distro . Where to go from here? because I usually go to a website site to find Software to install ...if I need it .back to the basics
Probably a stupid question. I want to install flashplayer- found the package on the adobe website- chosen the version (9.04+) and I then get the question 'Choose an application' - to open it with. What do I do now? This prompt simply takes me to file browser. Or is there an easier way to do it?
I am trying to install wine in ubuntu 8.04. While installation getting the error 'No suitable package flex found'. I tried to find out flex package in adobe as well as other sites. unable to find out.
I cannot install gnome. It complains about swfdec-mozilla needing to be installed, I install it, and it now needs epiphany-extensions, which uninstalls swfdec-mozilla.
So there are conflicting dependencies. Could someone fix this?
Are ubuntu- 64 bit packages I am using on my core 2 duo desktop compatible with core i3? I am thinking of buying new core i3 laptop as I am moving to new city .. I will not be having fast Internet access ( GPRS ), So I will be using the downloaded deb packages (In var/cache/apt) to install softwares I need whenever I format my laptop ( I experiment a lot, So I format a lot )
I want to install the Empathy on my CentOS. And I configured, then I got a resposes: checking gnome-doc-utils >= 0.17.3... no configure: error: gnome-doc-utils >= 0.17.3 not found
But when I run "yum install gnome-doc-utils" The system respond: [root@localhost ~]# yum install gnome-doc-utils Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Setting up Install Process Package gnome-doc-utils-0.8.0-2.fc6.noarch already installed and latest version Nothing to do
So i upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04. when i ran update manager after the install, it had some stuff for OpenOffice and during the update it hung. I powered off the laptop and turned it back on, booted into ubuntu and tried over but it didn't list the updates again.
I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server 32 Bit. Now have to install FTP package in my sever i dont have internet connection but i have downloaded the vsftpd_2.0.4-0ubuntu4.1_i386.deb file but while installing i get the following error.
I have this package dependency question for a while. I have brand new Squeeze system. I selected desktop during installation. Gnome is default system but I turned off gdm3 and uses fluxbox as window manager. I understand if two packages are tied together funtionally so that removal of either package terminates one feature. Above cases, many small packages only depends on the core packages. The core packages work fine without games, other programs.
There are so many programs that I want to remove in the system. For examples, ekiga is a VoIP program that I never use it. When I tried to remove it using apt-get or aptitude, it suggests entire gnome packages will be removed also, which is illogical. The only solution I found is I need to manually remove the package files. I haven't tried it yet.
Since the yum repository for FC 6 is no longer available, I'm looking for a place to find the latest package of mkisofs that can be used on FC6. I could not find a decent place to download it from.
After going from Debian Lenny to squeeze, everything was going OK, apart from 8 broken packages of which I was easily able to fix 7 of the packages. The last one is x-org core, which comes up with the error message /var/cache/apt/archives/udev_150-2_i386.deb returned an error. From all my research it indicates that an update from kernel 2.6.26-2-686 to a later version is required due to 150 udev requiring the support of the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED. My next question is where to start, do I need to add a linux-image repository in sources.list and then use the command-line or am I headed in the wrong direction.
i installed slackware current straight(make iso from it and installed on clean disk) and i installed Multilib current from alien and now when i wanna compile wine source its write

I checked i got that libaries in /lib and /lib64 why it doesent work it was working on slackware 13.1 with multilib
During install of 9.10 server, both ethernet adapters were found. One is built-in to the motherboard, the second is on a PCIe slot. Selected the on-board adapter for eth0 during install, set fixed IP on the web, connected, updated, etc. w/ no problems. The second adapter is for the LAN.BUT, on first and subsequent reboots after installation complete the second adapter is not detected at all, as if it were not even plugged into the PCI or the driver not loaded. This happens on either of two slots, with two different adapters, Intel or Netgear, both pretty recent, and both of which are detected and work in a different box. 'Ethtool eth1' says device not found.This is a fairly recent motherboard 3N78EM).Since the adapter was found during installation I'm assuming that the problem is not with not the board. I've built several server systems with two or three ethernet adapters and have never run into this situation.
