Ubuntu Servers :: Sudo Apt-Get Install Fails (Size Mismatch)
Dec 10, 2010sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop fails and has been failing for the last two days, I installed both the lto and the 10.10 newest, starts out OK and runs for about 5 minutes then finishes with many 'failed to fetch [URL] size mismatch issues. This is the first one after many installs over the last two years. Is there something going on with the US servers? On closer examination of running sudo apt-get update it seems to be fine till it hits the pool directory on the server, lucid main and lucid-updates are fine, breaks when it goes past those.

Mar 16, 2011I wanted to installed transmission on my buntu server box 10.10 tonite so from my laptop top i ssh'd into it...which took an unordinary amount of time.. went to type in sudo apt-get install transmission half way through each word at the terminal prompt it would just hang...had to wait then it would recognize my typing and i could continue....pressed enter waited a long time; then noticed i coulnd't connect to the repos?

Ubuntu Security :: Sudo Apt-get Update The Update Failed Because The Connection To The India Mirror Timed Out
Jun 1, 2010I am from India, and I tried to update my Ubuntu system today. Code: $sudo apt-get update The update failed because the connection to the India mirror timed out: Code: [URL] Could not connect to in.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (111.91.91.37). - connect (110: Connection timed out) I tried the update a few times, with the same result every time.
I had firestarter running at this time, and noticed that I would get new security events every time I tried an update. I checked the events list, and it turned out that the machine at the ip address 111.91.91.37 (the in.archive.ubuntu.com machine, to go by the above error message) had been trying to make connections to seemingly random ports on the machine every time I tried the update: see the attached screenshot. I then changed my repositories to the Main Server using Synaptic, and tried the update again (from the command-line). This time it worked without a hitch, and firestarter did not report any unwanted incoming connection. why is the India mirror trying to open connections that the Main server apparently does not need in order for me to do the update? Should I (we) be concerned?

Security :: Defaults For Sudo - Permission Denied And Script Fails
Mar 18, 2010I have a CGI script that when called runs another script as a different user. Yet when the script does run I keep getting a permission denied in the logs and the script fails
In the sudoers file-
Defaults env_reset
www-data ALL=(charly) NOPASSWD=ALL
For the full question-
When looking at /etc/sudoers there is the defaults line that you can add things to. When doing a sudo -L so that I can see what I can put on that defaults line. Can an individual user have specific defaults? Ones that don't effect the rest of the people in /etc/sudoers?

Ubuntu :: Xubuntu's Synaptic Can't Authenticate Sudo's Update
Mar 2, 2010I recently installed Xubuntu (9.10) in my computer, but... I have been having intermitent hard disk problems, and so I decided to google a little and after reading this:
[URL]
I did use Synaptic to search for smartmontools and then install it.
Synaptic complained that it couldn't autenticate the packet, but I figured this was happening because... this is not an application supported by Canonical? I clicked and installed the packet (well, in fact, I *think* it has installed two applications, not just one).
Then later, I saw one of those arrows at the top right of the screen, and clicked it to install updates. Synaptic told me to update SUDO. Hmm... serious. And then even more: it told me that it couldn't autenticate it I stopped the installation and registered at these forums.
And more: before posting, I tried to reproduce the "error" (and again, stop before installing the "suspicious" SUDO update) but Synaptic now autenticated it troubleless and installed it.
Well, now I have a LOT of questions:
1. Where do I place this post?. Security?. Hardware problems?. Update and installation? (Linux noobiness?)
2. my hard disk?. I've read somewhere that an application called "fsck"
3. What may have happened with Synaptic?. Why wouldn't it autenticate a SUDO update?
4. Have I done something wrong?. Something unrepairable?
5. Can I trust the SUDO version that now I have installed in my system?
6. How could I check what has Synaptic exactly installed?. Is there any log file anywhere in my system?

Ubuntu Servers :: PSSH - How To Use Sudo
Oct 24, 2010I have a set of servers that I have to manage and I thought that pssh (parallel-ssh) would be a great tool for the job. Except that I can not see how to use that with 'sudo'. I can set password-less ssh between multiple servers for a given user. But I cannot see how to do administrative work if I cannot call SUDO as it requires a password to be entered firstly.
