Ubuntu :: Software Centre Installation Authentication Freezes?

Aug 10, 2011

I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 several times recently and everytime I am asked for my password to install software via the Software Centre, the password field accepts my password and disappears, leaving the rest of the popup box open. Then a few minutes later the popup disappears and i'm unable to install the software.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Get Usb_modeswitch To Appear In Software Centre

Mar 12, 2010

I am having a problem getting my Vodafone PAYG Huawei K3565 Rev 2 mobile broadband to be recognised and/or connect in 9.10

[URL]

The advice is to add

[URL]

to the apt sources. (replacing cz as required for several other servers of choice). I tried this (using several different servers) from within Ubuntu Software Centre, but the usb_modeswitch never appeared. In fact (oddly) the source never appeared in the list! (Although I did have a look in the etc/apt/sources.list and it had added a line each time - there were several - I'd tried quite a few!!!) I did try downloading it but when it starts gdebi to install, a message pops up saying it is available (and better supported!) in a software channel.

I searched round a bit and found another reference to the package at

[URL]

This time the sources were totally different and the apt line recommended was

deb [URL]

When I add this it does add the line to the list of sources, but sadly I still cannot see usb_modeswitch after Software Centre has updated. In fact the number of packages available seems to go down from 2186 to 2179!

I suppose I could force the debian package to install, but I don't see why I can't get it to appear in Software Centre!

I should perhaps add that I have added other sources using the "apt sources" and that worked OK so I know I am doing the right thing.

Ubuntu Installation :: Software Centre And Firefox Do Not Run?

Jan 6, 2011

my problem is simple: the software centre and firefox do not run when i try to launch them from any icon or with Alt+F2. The "Window List" app in the bottom panel shows "Starting Ubuntu Soft..." or "Starting Mozilla Firefox" but that just disappears again after a few seconds and thats it (no error message whatsoever). I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 (new install - no upgrade) and it runs without problems on my other computer.

Ps: I managed to get firefox running with 'gksudo firefox' but not the software centre (i am not so good with all the commands yet ) and i dont want to have to do that alle the time

Ubuntu Installation :: Synaptic Package Manager Vs Ubuntu Software Centre

Dec 10, 2010

If I want to install a software package, for example, netbeans for Java, it seems that there are two ways to do that, first is through Ubuntu Software Centre, and the second much fancier one is to do it via Synaptic Package Manager. Are there any differences in the end result? Which one is better?

Ubuntu Installation :: Software Centre Is Not Working / "Crash Report Detected" Keeps Popping Up?

Jan 1, 2010

Hi everyone,

Encountering several problems with ubuntu. I have managed to burn iso to cd - I decided to bot ubuntu off the cd, I have been struggling with a couple of problems all to no avail. I have heard ubuntu is pretty damn good, and I was quite enthusiastic about it. But if I can't get this sorted...

Oh I should also say I have never used a command line and I have not a clue about xorg or whatever you call it.

anyway my first problem is Display settings. I can go to System > Preferences > Display, and the largest I can set my resolution to is 800*640 and the monitor is unknown...?

Problem number 2 - the ubuntu software centre is not working... Applications > USC > Could not launch Ubuntu Software Centre..

Problem 3 - In the bar at the top of the screen beside time and date etc, "Crash report detected" keeps popping up?

Problem 4 my @ and " keys have swapped places??? also my Pounds sign (I live in UK) has been replaced with # while # has been replaced with

I have been working for a couple of hours on it but nothing makes the slightest bit of difference. I will probably have some more problems soon to be honest - but your help with the above problems would be honestly fantastic.

edit: Yea I cant install flash player to watch videos on .....?

Applications > Acessories > Terminal will not bring anything up anyway!

Open office does not work

Niether does gnometris - but robots does lol

Security :: Make A Choice On What Authentication Protocol To Use For Authentication And Authorization?

Jan 17, 2011

I need to make a choice on what authentication protocol I want to use for Authentication and Authorization. I was looking at Radius and then literature suggested that Diameter was a better protocol. Keep in mind I need this on a hetrogeneous setup ( linux & windows together). Diameter seemed like a good fit until I discovered that the open source code no longer seems to be maintained ( C/C++).

I was also looking at Kerberos as an option though there is alot overhead with the server. SSL/TLS or EAP? I am looking for simple but secure and am new at the security protocols.
