Ubuntu :: Synaptic Package Manger - Cannot Change Proxy
Jul 29, 2010
I am suddenly having problems with synaptic package manager. I go to change the proxy to my uni proxy (under settings>preferences>network) and when I click okay/apply it freezes. I've restarted and tried other things and it doesn't work.
I removed the following packages yesterday (not sure if any are relevant):
Completely removed the following packages:
avant-window-navigator
avant-window-navigator-data
bygfoot
festival
Removed the following packages:
aisleriot
awn-applets-c-core
awn-applets-python-core
awn-settings
bogofilter
bogofilter-bdb
bogofilter-common
brltty
brltty-x11
festlex-cmu
festlex-poslex
festvox-kallpc16k
gnome-orca
libawn1
libbrlapi0.5
liblouis-data
liblouis0
openoffice.org-emailmerge
pidgin-musictracker
python-awn
python-awn-extras
python-brlapi
python-louis
python-speechd
speech-dispatcher
transmission-common
vinagre
vino
Reinstalled the following packages:
plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo (0.8.2-2ubuntu2)
I also used Bootup manager to speed up my boot, but I have enabled any network related services that I can find, to no end.

Synaptic Package Manager failed with the following error:
E: Malformed line 55 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
With the error dialog as modal window, the Synaptic Package Manager main screen is disabled. As soon as I click "OK" to close the error dialog, Synaptic Package Manager shuts down right away.I don't know there is the "repository dialog" is to correct the problem as suggested.

I use ubuntu 9.10 karmic(x86). I was using a wifi network in my college,for which i used a proxy. Now i'm back home and am using a broadband connection. When i try to install packages via ..synaptic package manager , it pops with an error saying.. it cannot connect to the proxy "172.16.1.5:8080". Yes ,of course it should not be able to,as i am not in that vicinity anymore. I have changed the settings to direct connection in preferereces->network in the synaptic package manager secondly,changed the network proxy settings and applied it system wide. thirdly, I configured the /etc/apt/apt.conf file.. changed it to Acquire::http :: proxy "false"; But, nothing will work, still getting that error.

I installed lubuntu 10.10 from a minimal netinstall. For some reason, the main menu entry for synaptic package manager uses gksu instead of gksudo at the beginning of the command, as revealed by right-clicking the entry, then clicking "properties". This, of course, precludes the ability to access the program unless you're among the few who have activated the root user account. That's a problem in and of itself, but it's been recognized elsewhere. However, after I fixed the command and clicked "ok", nothing changed. I opened up the little properties menu again and it was gksu, as though I hadn't fixed the command.
The properties window is a mysterious little program called lxshortcut. I suspect that if I run lxshortcut using sudo, then the changes I make will actually stick. Problem is, I don't know how to find the actual location of the main menu's SPM shortcut/launcher-thingy. Nor are there any clear instructions on how to use lxshortcut in terminal. I flailed about with my best interpretation of vague instructions, but to no avail.
I downloaded alacarte (which is, of course, intended for gnome), and I got the software sources entry to show up in the list, but nothing else in the program responded when I clicked. The whole experience in alacarte was weird and unhelpful and somehow I've outright removed the menu entry for synaptic. And that's fine, I barely use it anyway, but Software Sources also has the same gksu problem, and I actually use that one. So how do I change the command associated with one of the preferences in the lxde/lubuntu main menu?

I'm having a wireless issue (go figure) where I can't get to the internet, can get to my LAN just fine, but trying to ping anywhere on the net just gives me "network unavailable" message.One thing I've seen noted here time and again is people saying "Use Yast vs Network manager" when I go through the Yast Network Devices GUI it tells me it's using network manager, and I need to use ifup (if I want to use Yast), however I have no clue how to go about changing it from one to the other?
Currently I'm using hard-link to get all the updates and see if that will resolve my problems, but figured I'd learn how I'm supposed to switch it for the future.

Using Ubuntu 9.10. I got a problem with the wired connection. I managed to fix it more or less. But now after I did about 2 days ago an apt-get update, I can't update through the Update Manager, nor install packages through the Synaptic Package Manager, nor install video drivers anymore. Using the terminal works: apt-get install, apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. I'm using a proxy (I'm connected to the network of my university, which uses a proxy) and a autoconfiguration script *.PAC.
I've never encountered such a problem - to be able to surf or use the terminal, but not the update/synaptic/divers manager. So I looked on the internet and found out that Synaptic has it's own network settings and doesn't care what proxy I've set in the Network Proxy. I don't recall ever having such a problem. I don't recall configuring the network preferences of Synaptic either (I just discovered them ). Another thing worth mentioning - I can use Synaptic and Update Manager ONLY if I run them from the terminal WITH sudo.
Code:
sudo synaptic
and
Code:
sudo update-manager
Only when doing so, the managers are able to connect to the internet. If I run only
Code:
synaptic
and
Code:
update-manager
And after being prompted for administrative privileges I enter the admin's password, they don't connect. So what I think happens is that Synaptic/Update Manager/Drivers Manager use somehow different network configuration than the one set in Network Proxy. Terminal on the other hand takes the proxy-settings directly from Network Proxy. The weird thing is that using terminal to call Synaptic for example make Synaptic accept the Network Proxy's settings. I looked in a couple of threads, where this ~/.bashrc was mentioned and adding export http_proxy="xxxx.yyyyyy.zzz" at the end of the file. But I still can't figure out what to do exactly. It's not a script, it's not something executable.

E: nvidia-185-kernel-source: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
E: nvidia-glx-185: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
I'm not sure what other information to post.I believe I'm using the nvidia 190 file, but I've tried to remove 185 and that made me have to boot up in "low graphics mode."

I am a relatively new user of Ubuntu and I have a question about Django 1.2 (and now we're up to 1.2.1). I currently have Django 1.1.1 installed via Synaptic.
-Generally, how long would it take for 1.2.1 to appear in a package that I can download via Synaptic?
-If I were to uninstall ver 1.1.1 and manually install ver 1.2.1, would it get installed in the same location that Synaptic installs it?

Got Karmic Koala up on running on my main computer and have been going through Beginning Ubuntu Linux, Fourth Edition. It was printed during Jaunty Jackalope, but it looks like its information applies to most areas.
However, it says I should be able to find msttcorefonts in the Synaptic Package Manage, and it's not there. I double checked Writer and Times New Roman and the other true type staples are not there, so it's not that it was installed with the boot disk.
Has the name of the package changed?

I am trying to get Ubuntu up and running on my Dell XPS 400 desktop. I verified the checksum of the iso (ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso) I downloaded, and I ran the cd check before installing. I also ran a memtest for 16 hours with no errors.
So I install Ubuntu, and everything seems ok. Now, I try to update my software packages, and the upgrade always fails after all the packages are downloaded (sometime during actual installation). So, I have to reboot, and the file system will not mount. I run fsck and reboot, and now I cannot even boot normally or to a shell... This has happened to me twice in row.
What is the best plan of attack when a package fails to install midway? I want to use Ubuntu, but this is making it pretty hard.

I've just installed Lucid Lynx and it seems to be running fine, except the synaptic package manager is downloading things incredibly slowly. Is this just because the server is busy due to the new release?

I was running the Ubuntu Software Center when my machine froze, the mouse stopped moving etc. so I had to hard boot it.
Then I got a lot of errors and it would not boot, I got in as root and ran the fsck and fixed a lot of errors and so finally got to boot into GUI
Then I saw the red error sign which said run the sudo dpkg --configure -a to fix the problem I did, it didnt?!
It gave me the error
Code:
I found the file status-old so I copied it back into status but then I got this error:

I need some assistance on getting Synaptic Package Manager to start correctly. I can start it from the command line without any errors. When I try to use the shortcut under the /System/Administration menu it ask for the password but nothing ever opens up nor is there an error. My source list is fine. I have ran "sudo apt-get update".
