Ubuntu :: Software Center And Apt-get Not Working?
May 26, 2011
I can get the main page in the software center, but nothing else, and the terminal gives me this output whenever I do apt-get install *whatever*
Code:
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-amd64_Packages
Everytime I try installing or uninstalling a program in the software center, it gives me this error
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 768, in simulate return self._simulate_helper(trans, status_path) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 938, in _simulate_helper return depends, status, self._cache.required_download, File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 218, in required_download pm.get_archives(fetcher, self._list, self._records) SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package.
My system specification:I am using is in my PC(stand alone) with the following system config..AMD Sempron(tm) processor2500+704 MB RAMASUS mother board..buntu version 9.10When I click ubuntu software center ->search any software ->select the software -> click the arrow at right corner->then click install button for me nothing happens. It was installing for one week and now it seems to be not. It gives no error message no action, but just static. Is that a paid version or i am missing something basic? I have tried to do the following
sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
I started out as a JoliOS user - but I have petty much removed all the Joli features and am just using the bare Ubuntu system. Nonetheless, I can't get the Ubuntu Software Center to work. When I run in terminal I get the following message:
this happened to me before, where when I try to open Software Center, Synaptic package manager, or update manager, it would freeze with the window open and I would have to force it to shut down. I decided to re-install the OS after this happened and I just updated ubuntu and it is happening again.
After working with the Install center for a couple of months with no problems I just woke up to find my Install and Remove buttons are not working. They don't give any errors, they just don't do anything when clicked
I tried to install emergent using following guide:[URL](Ubuntu) However, I did not succeed, it seems that it could not install emergent properly. My far worse problem now is that it messed up my software center and update manager. I get following error message when starting the software-center:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/apt/aptcache.py", line 105, in open self._cache = apt.Cache(GtkMainIterationProgress()) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 88, in __init__
[code]....
Could not initialize the package information An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Malformed line 59 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)'
I just tried Software Center on my freshly installed Testing, but it does not work: when I click on Install it turns gray and nothing happens. How can I make this application functional?
I am having intelG33 motherboard with hda soundcard realtex alc888 supporting 5.1 surround system. Using opensuse 11. I have successfully installed alsa drivers. But iam not able to get sound from surround and center speakers. Only able to get from front speakers. When i used alsamixer. it shows me master and capture volume controls only. Before alsa, I tried default sound configuration in my opensuse but didnt able to get surround even when I increased volume control for surround speakers to maximum. Please help me... why im not able to get it working? I am new to linux and getting used to it
I experimented with Mac4Lin over the weekend, and as much as I liked it, I decided (like I do most anything) to eventually revert back to the normal interface. The problem is, this has left me entirely unable to read any text in the Ubuntu Software Center, or in some dropdown menus (the "Prefix" dropdown menu for this post is unreadable). Included is a screenshot of what the Software Center looks like. I've already tried rebooting and uninstalling/reinstalling the software center with no luck. I can only assume there's a font setting somewhere that I need to tweak, but I can't find it at all. I'm running 10.04.
I have 10.04 that I have downloaded. Heres the problems I cant get my wifi driver to work it doesn't download. I cant download flash player or the flash player installer. My Ubuntu software center wont come up.
I just installed 10.04 and things are working alright for the most part. My main problem is that the Software Center cannot seem to connect to the internet. It gets to 5% and stops, after a few minutes it says it "cannot connect, check your internet connection".
I am online posting this right now and I have no troubles downloading packages manually, but I would prefer to use the handy-dandy center. Any insight into this would be lovely. I'm pretty new to Ubuntu, and I just haven't encountered this before.
I have installet ubuntu lucid and it works fine. After the installation of other user software like keepass and truecrypt, the software-center utility doesn't start. I start it but the process start and after few second it exit from top utility. No screen output it doesn't start. I tried to start in terminal and receive this log: Traceback (most recent call last) code...
If something in the ubuntu software center is out of date who do we notify? I just installed exaile from the ubuntu software center and it is out of date. I just created a few hundred playlist and am afraid to uninstall it and install the latest version via exaile software repo so when will the ubuntu software center version be updated?
I am having issues launching the Ubuntu Software Center. I click it and it appears to start, but a window never comes up. I would like to either uninstall it and reinstall it or start it from the terminal.
Just installed 10.10. Notice Software Center is seen at bottom of Applications. It seems to load, but after a bit it quits. I removed it with Synaptic, and reinstalled. Same problem. All normal updates have been installed.
I seem to have broken the Ubuntu Software Center by adding the Linux Mint repositories and installing the mint-menu package. When I click on Ubuntu Software Center it changes my cursor and shows it in the windows list for about 10 seconds like it is going to open but never does. I tried removing the mint-menu package and all of the mint packages, I reinstalled software-center andall of the ubuntu keyring packages. Still not able to open the software center.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an older Biostar IDEQ 200N SFF computer for my son. I am by no means a linux expert and I am having a problem I can't seem to resolve on my own. I am using a CRT monitor, and the image on the screen is not aligned properly with the monitor. Everything seems shifted down about a quarter of an inch or less. Even the usual click areas are no right. What I mean that is order to click on a link or icon, you actually have to click slightly above it. I know the CRT monitor has screen adjustment controls, but this seems to be linux or hardware related. I have tried changing the resolution, and for a brief second after I change the res it does seem to correct the problem, but before I can even tell it to use the new settings, it shifts itself back down. What can I do? Do I need to install different drivers or something else?
i could really do with some help, basically every package is seen as untrusted and it is stopping me from upgrading or updating, and to install packages i have to do it from apt-get and say that i trust the source.
I've already tried reinstalling it and all of the Python packages from Synaptic. (See, I did my homework! )Here's the terminal output I get trying to start it:
I have just install 10.10 on my computer, and i can't open ubuntu software center. when i click on it, i see it n task bar, mouse start to roll, but then nothing happens. I've tried to install skype also, same thing.
A few weeks ago I jumped into Ubuntu by installing 10.04 on an old PC. All was working fine until today. I have been trying things all do to fix this. When I try to install from the software center, nothing happens. Nothing! It worked fine before. I did an update early today. I have even updated one new update late today. But the software center will not install anything. The install button goes grey for about a second, then back to normal.
I went to System, Administration, Software Sources, Other Sources (tab), clicked partner - to rebuild the package info. That did not change anything. I am not sure how to update to 10.10 since I am new to Linux.
I believe I have deleted a dependency package to Ubuntu Software Center for 10.10. I just don't know how to fix it. When I try to launch the program from the terminal I get a bus error, I've tried removing and reinstalling it, but this does not solve it. Any one have ideas of how to fix this (other than just reinstalling ubuntu)?
I have a weird problem...I just can't access Ubuntu Software Center! when i click on it, I just keep seeing the cirle running....but it never loads! no differences being online or not....
