Ubuntu :: Software Centre - Doesn't Tell - Size Of The Download ?
May 3, 2011
I'm currently running 10.04. Great OS! However, the one small thing that annoys me is with the software centre, it doesn't tell you the size of the download. I know this probably doesn't bother people if you've got 50mb internet and unlimited downloads, however, I have 3.5mb, and a download limit!
Is there A) anyway I can get software centre to tell me the size of a download, and B) is this altered in later versions - due to my limit I don't want to download them to see - catch 22!

installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS a few months ago, and the Opera browser was available to download. I've just reinstalled 10.04, and Opera is no longer an option. All the other browsers are available ie. firefox, chrome, seamonkey. Was Opera removed from the list only recently?

I have got him to use ubuntu 10 which he loves but he is skeptical about the software in ubuntu software centre.How can I appease his concerns?Presumably all open source software in the download centre is safe?

I am a new ubuntu user, I downloaded it because it was recommended over windows for programming uses. I am new to Ubuntu, and everytime I try and download something from the Ubuntu software center an error pops up saying:
"Requires installation of untrusted packages. The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."
It does this for everything I try and download.

Is there some way to limit the download size of updates for ubuntu? At the moment, update manager shows that I have some 300 MB worth of downloads. I can't find any way to deselect many updates at once either.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed and a few weeks ago I tried upgrading to 11.04 using "Update Manager" BUT I got the following error after a few hours of fetching all the files from internet except for one
Code:Could not download the upgrades
The upgrade has aborted. Please check your Internet connection or installation media and try again. All files downloaded so far are kept.
Failed to fetch [URL]
I thought there's something wrong with the internet connection in spite of that everything else works well.. I tried upgrading in different times in different days, I redid the process again today and I got the same error again. Is there any other way to upgrade or ignore this package?

I'm considering moving to openSUSE but am surprised that the installation iso file is 4.7GB. Why so large please? Other Linux distros such as Ubuntu and Fedora are much smaller being less that 1GB.

I m using squid 2.7 Stable 9 and Dansguardian 2.10.1.1, i have compiled both squid and dansguardian, i have enabled follow_x_forwarded_for in squid to make clients IPs visible to squid, i have also set x_forwarded_for=on in dansguardian, this is working fine and clients ips are visible to squid. Now i want to set down-loadable file size limit upto 50 MB in squid by using the acl reply_body_max_size 52428800 allow mynetwork for every user except few users the above acl is not working properly. mynetwork is our private network which is 192.168.0.0/16.
When i set the acl reply_body_max_size 52428800 allow localhost . it works fine but only for localhost. I want to allow upto 50 MB down-loadable file size to every user in my network except a few users whom will have access upto 500 MB down-loadable file size.

Our LAN is connected to internet via leased line, and it is getting slow at peak times.We doubt someone might be downloading files of huge size.Instead of SSH-ing into each system and finding out the download size (ethstatus), is it possible to view from a network bandwidth monitoring software?

I just want a simple email notifier. I have started to use Ubuntu 10.10 and seem to have downloaded Gmailwatcher - it shows in Applications/Internet/Gmailwatcher. But it doesn't show as installed software in the Installed Software Centre. So, I cant uninstall it. I can't configure it? If I try to open Gmailwatcher I receive a popup asking me to open it from an icon above - but there's no icon there, I just want a simple email notifier - preferably one which I can add an audio alert.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04LTS (64bit) and the drives are formatted as EXT3. I have a Raid5 that had 4 x 1TB drives. It is mounted as my /home. I added a 5th Drive and used the Disk Utility to Expand the array. In the Disk Utility it shows as 4.0TB RAID5 Array, however when I open a console and type df -h it still only shows at 2.8TB (Which is the size of the 3TB array I had previously.) What do I have to do to have the 4TB array show up properly? I'm obviously missing something, but I'm not sure what it is.

In trying to solve a friend's lack of foresight, i have currently disabled my system.
I was using dd_rescue to make a copy of a drive with a corrupt and unfixable Partition Table. I was a fool, and had a drive mounted to /media/Storage, but ran the backup to /media/storage.
Thus, dd_rescue completely filled my primary drive before informing me that there was a problem.
I don't really trust myself with command line work, so I foolishly sudo'ed nautilus and deleted the folder /media/storage.
Unfortunately, I didn't realize it, but the available space on the drive still read 0bytes.
I tried Terminal work to do a sudo apt-get clean command, but for some inane reason, the laptop screen won't support the display setting for the Terminal login, so I just had to hope that I was doing it right.
I wasn't, and decided to try working from a Live CD so I could see what I was doing.
the folder /root/.Trash/ doesn't exist on Ubuntu's install drive, and I can't figure out why the properties of the drive say "contents: 241310 files, 3.7 GB" but also "Total capacity: 52.8 GB. Free space: 0 bytes"
Any suggestions on how I can get this to shake out?

The Compiz Setting page for Unity will not let me set the launcher to autohide or other hiding option, and the Experimental page will not let me reduce the icon size. The lack of hiding is another as the left edge of windows can disappear under the the Launcher.

I was going to back up some files to a DVD so I loaded a new blank in the drive and waited for it to come ready. I decided that now was a good time to fill up my drink and left the computer for a while. When I got back about 30 minutes later, I noticed that the drive was still cycling and had not become ready. I finally got the process killed and tried another blank, which worked. Then I went on about my business.
The next day, the machine hung up on boot with Dmesg saying that it was starting the syslog daemon, but that was as far as it would go till it dropped to the maintenance shell after a few minutes. Multiple boots always did the same thing.
After considerable troubleshooting, I noticed that the syslog file was at the maximum size - about 2.5 gig I think - and was full of DVD drive errors. Deleting the file fixed the problem.
Just to test, I built a phony syslog file to the maximum size and installed it in /var/log. Bang - same problem.
So... It appears that the system logger doesn't test for max size overflow either during runtime or during boot. Interestingly, I googled up one hit for the same problem from a couple of years ago, also on Debian, but nothing in the debian.org problem lists.

If I have a panel larger than standard size, the notification icons scale accordingly but the indicators stay the same size so it looks pretty rubbish. I would like the notification icons to stay the same size.How can I fix it?

I have a two hours long home video with I edited in a video editor program. I'd like to burn it to DVD, but first I need to export it to an mpeg file. Cinelerra doesn't allow me to render to mpeg, instead it offers .avi or .dv - problem is that the resulting file size is enormous. (i.e. 1 minute of .avi = 1.2GB! or around 500MB when I output to .dv) What file format would be best to render to and at the same time not to get an insanely big file? I'd like to keep it under 1GB if possible.

I changed to ubuntu 10.10 I have setup my gmail account on the Evolution client, and has downloaded like a third of my inbox emails in the first syncro. Ever since it hasn't downloaded any newer email after that even when several have passed.
Is there any configuration I should use to tell the inbox to go over a fixed capacity or something like this?

I just installed ubuntu 9.10 32bit on my compaq 6000.I have a nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 420] graphic card, and I wanted to install the proper drivers.I tried to use Hardware Drivers, but when it tries to activate the "NVIDIA accelerated graphic ... ... (version 96)", it starts a download and then it simply stops doing anything.I also tried to use EnvyNg, which also started downloading and stopped.I also tried to install manually the "NVIDIA-linux-x86-96.43.01-pky1.run" (which was what Envy recommended) but1) I'm a Noob and most forums said "don't mess with your graphic card if you'e not confindent enough"2) when I dosudo /etc/init.d/gdm stopsudo sh NVIDIA-linux-x86-96.43.01-pky1.runit says that I don't have a precompiled kernel interface, and something about kernel sources not matching current kernel (but "gcc -dumpversion" shows the same as "cat /proc/version").
