Ubuntu :: Software Center Downloads Won't Start?
Jan 7, 2010
I've been trying to download some software stuff off of the Ubuntu Software Center, but every time I try it tells me "Waiting for other software managers to quit", and just sits there at 0%. I've been waiting for 45 minutes for it to start the download of Pidgin.I looked in the Processes of System Monitor, and I dunno what other Software manager would be running. The only processes that are running are System Monitor... and then the process"software-center" under the Waiting Channel tab goes from 0 to "do_wait" to "poll_schedule_timeout", and its status goes from Running to Sleeping.

I had the "set-cap" exception problem, so when the fix was released, I updated. Since then, the ubuntuone-preferences dialog will not start or work. I tried the me bar, the system menu, and the CLI.Now, I bought some music the first day the store opened and it downloaded fine. Then yesterday I bought another album and the store hangs on "downloading the files." Six hours later, it still won't move.
It gets weirder. The music store says its trying to download a couple of tracks from the first album (even though they are already downloaded), the second album shows up as downloaded under the Web UI, but doesn't show up at all on my desktop .ubuntuone folder.I've tried the IRC a couple of times, with no response. (In fairness, it may have been bad timing, I'm in New York) I don't mind trying to sort this out myself, but I'd just like some more hints. I've looked at the syncd log and found the exception, but I don't know how else to restart the syncd. At the same time, my files *are* synching, and *one* of my address books is synching (my gmail account contacts aren't). I know this is alot at once, but I'm afraid of dividing the problem and missing something.

I recently tried installing numerous games from the Ubuntu Software Center and about 90 % of them simply wouldn't start up. Is this a known problem or is it just something I am experiencing?

This is what I get when trying to start synaptic:
E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/am-monkeyd-nautilus-elementary-ppa-natty.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I admit fooling around with trying to install nautilus elementary, not really knowing what I was doing, and now things are all messed up.

Yesterday, I made a clean install of 10.10 (64 bit). Among others, I installed World of Goo from a .deb file, and it worked fine.
Today, I wanted to install Skype from the .deb file. When I double-click the file, I get a "wait" cursor for ~20 sec, then nothing happens. When I try to start Software Center from the Main menu, I also get the Wait cursor and then nothing happens.
I started software-center from the terminal and the software center opened, despite some warnings in the terminal. I could install some random application from the list. Then I tried to start
Code:
And the software center window showed, with Skype selected. When I clicked Install, there was an error message. Despite the "no such a file or directory" part, I am sure that the file name is correct (I tab-completed it).
This is the error message I received when I tried to install:
Code:
Here are the warnings I received when I started the software center:
Code:
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. Please report this error at [url] and retry.

Well Ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition looks great and I am way over the plain old xp, plus Ubuntu is safer and sexier. I have downloaded 10.10 desktop and it saves as a .iso, then when I open it it runs my cd burner. I have it saved on a CD and my portable hard drive. I can not run the .iso or use the wubi. I have extracted the .iso and tried running the usb creator program but it does not work. Does anyone have a solution other than buying the ubuntu cd?

I have ubuntu 10.10 and thunderbird 3.1.9. thunderbird will not download messages from any pop server, it just states no messages to download. I log into the web version of either pop server and there are hundreds of messages. I have so far deleted both po account settings and put them back, tried both ssl and not ssl, unchecked leave messages on server, removed and reinstalled thunderbird.

I've been using Ubuntu 9.04 for a few months now after switching over from XP. I've figured most issues I've had via Google I guess about a week ago, everything I download whether it be from Firefox Or Transmissions won't show up on the desktop screen. When I few the folder in Nautilus, same thing. I can see the files with the 'dir' terminal command. I did try using 'sudo' to lauch Nautilus and was able to see my files. If I drag them out of the Nautilus window and on to my desktop, they appear. Keep in mind, I know the files are in MY directory and are owned by me. Any clue to what is causing this and how to fix it?

I have a laptop with a wireless that needs a driver from what I've read;
Code:
apt-get install b43-fwcutter I should be able to plug it in (ethernet) & get it to work but it occurred to me that what if the ethernet didn't work either. So my question is how could I get the files that command would download to my desktop onto a disk so i could manually install it onto the laptop?

I am running a dual boot with Ubuntu 10.04 and vista. Anyway both systems are very healthy as far as I can see. I have a very fast internet connection at 50Mbs. Under vista I can pull around 4 - 5MBs where under Ubuntu I can only get about 350KBs. I have a single PC hard wired into a Netgear WNR3500 router/firewall. Anyway, I was wondering if there is anything I can do with my packet sizes or receive windows to help it along? I am only using a very small part of my available bandwidth obviously. Is there a kind soul here who could tell me how to optimize my internet connection in Lucid?

Last night I was using Ubuntu just downloading music with Limewire and it was all working fine until I clicked on a a song to download and a message popped up saying something like "This computer doesn't have a file for Limewire downloads", I am not exactly sure on how it said it but it had something to do with the File System. Since it was so late I just decided to leave it like that and deal with it in the morning.
I woke up and when I started Ubuntu and it says "File System not found", and something about pressing Control-D. Sorry for the lack of info I just don't remember exactly what it said, but like I mentioned above it has something to do with the File System that apparently isnt working. I decided to re-install Ubuntu and it worked great, I am using ubuntu right now but it doesn't have any of the setting and apps etc etc that I had on the other one.
When I restart the computer and the dual-boot menu comes up it has 2 types of ubuntu, this one that works and the other one that everytime I click on it it keeps showing me the "File System not found". Is there any way to fix my old version of Ubuntu 9.10? And if I cant then how can I delete the damaged version of Ubuntu so it doesn't come up in the Dual-Boot screen? And I also have Windows 7 on it, how can I delete that one also?

I just installed Apache2 and PHP on my computer but everytime I go to my localhost folder (ex: http://localhost/test/), firefox starts to download the index.php instead of running it. This doesn't happen in Chrome.

I just downloaded my first track and I was pleased!
It was easy to find, pay, and download. It was 20 cents cheaper than AmazonMP3 too.
I had the same song downloaded from AmazonMP3 and compared them side-by-side.
The 7digital file had a better bitrate (320KB/sec) than AmazonMP3 (225KB/sec) and I didn't notice any quality in the sound.
I noticed, however, the AmazonMP3 track was stereo and the 7digital one was mono.
Mono?
What?
Are all the songs like this?

I swear Ubuntu's download pages are getting harder and harder to find things in.I help with a local LUG that holds a Clinic for Linux newbies. One of my tasks is to maintain all the latest popular distros and all the versions thereof. usually recommend Ubuntu to newcomers, but people bring all kinds of computers, many of which need Lubuntu or Xubuntu, yet others want Kubuntu, and on and on. I need all the flavors of Ubuntu.I prefer to download by torrent because it is faster with my connection. I found a page with torrents for 10.04 and 10.10 for Ubuntu desktop, alternate and server, but I'll be darned if I can find torrents for Netbook, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu and others.
