When I try to update my software through update manager, I get this error:
W: Failed to fetch [URL] Size mismatch
As a side note, when I enter Update Manager, it does not show 10.10 as an available update. I have checked my settings. I am quite kurfluddled by all of this.
I was creating an OpenGL+GLUT+Perl Simulator, and I got this error on starting it:
Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 195.36.15, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 195.36.24. make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version. The app still works fine, but I have no clue what to do about this.
It just happened for the second time some minutes ago (first time was yesterday): the update-manager window reported that 7MB needed to be download, but after clicking Install Updates 17.3MB was downloaded...It's a know issue in 10.10?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I run df command, the sum of free and used space doesn't tally up to total space. Now I found an explanation in this thread: URL...The amount of "reserved" space seems a little too high as OP of the thread had commented, but may be that's what needed. Now my question is is there a way to change/specify this amount of "reserved" space manually?Also is there a way where you can see the actual disk usage for every mounted partition including the hidden "reserved" space? Because sometimes this mismatch makes the output of df very confusing!
I am attaching output of df, and fdisk from my NFS server. The amount of reserved space seems to be close to 5% of the total partition size.

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?
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop fails and has been failing for the last two days, I installed both the lto and the 10.10 newest, starts out OK and runs for about 5 minutes then finishes with many 'failed to fetch [URL] size mismatch issues. This is the first one after many installs over the last two years. Is there something going on with the US servers? On closer examination of running sudo apt-get update it seems to be fine till it hits the pool directory on the server, lucid main and lucid-updates are fine, breaks when it goes past those.

Now i need to share some directories in order to wed developers access to the websites files.But when I try to share, ubuntu tries to install samba services, and I keep to get those errors:
"W: Failed to fetch url Size mismatch
W: Failed to fetch url
Size mismatch"
this is at the root of the problems I'm about to describe: Whenever I try to upgrade my Debian installation, I have repeated "size mismatch" errors that necessitate restarting the upgrade process. Since I'm using Debian Squeeze there are lots of upgrades to be done every week. Today, for instance, because I've not upgraded for a few weeks I have to download over 300MB of files to complete the upgrade. However, because of the size mismatch problem this download may well turn into something between 1GB and 2GB, as I repeatedly have to re-download files that were successfully downloaded in the last failed upgrade. What with my ISP limiting me to 7GB per month, I'm finding that merely keeping Debian up to date is using up most of my allotted bandwidth.
I've tried setting the Aptitude preferences not to "remove unused packages automatically", and not to "remove obsolete package files after downloading package lists", but for some reason I still find that files I downloaded in the last failed upgrade have to be downloaded again (and again, ...) whether anyone either knows how to avoid the package size mismatch problem (I can't change my ISP, which has a monopoly on providing internet to my area), or alternatively knows how to set Aptitude not to forget the packages it has downloaded successfully during each failed upgrade, thereby allowing me to avoid such a huge bandwidth usage on my frequent upgrades.

I keep getting a very frustrating error after reinstalling 11.04 on a 64-bit server:
Code:

I originally installed 11.04 on this system with the same disk so I'm confused as to what is happening. I have tried using different CD's and even installed of a USB. The memory test of the installer came back okay. The box has two PCI NICs that are recognized and functioning. The only package I have installed is openssh as this is a headless box. What makes this even more odd is that I have a newly installed 32-bit 11.04 server with the same procedure on the same network and it does just fine.
I hope I have been thorough enough in my search and investigation that someone can point me in the right direction. After reinstalling 3 times I am at a loss and I know 11.04 can run on my box without problem (as it did before the reinstall).Tonight I'm going to reinstall with the built in interface unplugged and the two NICs removed, I'm hoping this will prevent apt from bricking itself during the install, which is the only think left I can think of. I suspect the issue has to do with the nic despite it appearing to function properly I am unable to uncompress the archives in question on, my workstation, when they are downloaded on the sever but can successfully uncompress the same files when downloaded on the workstation.
SOLUTION: I pulled both NIC's and enabled the integrated interface and it is all working. I wonder why they didn't work though...
after initating the update and i enter my pass word, update stops and an error box comes up stating that it is unable to update because there is more than one synaptic manager running, i have restarted and get the same results, and to my knowledge there is nothing else running in the background.
