Ubuntu :: WARNING: When Updgrading To Natty \ Had A Malformed Attribute ("Priority" Was Stated As "Normal", When It Should Be "Standard")?
Apr 29, 2011
A minor problem became a huge quasi-catastrophe yesterday when I was doing the upgrade from Maverick to Natty on this machine. One of the packages I head had a malformed attribute ("Priority" was stated as "Normal", when it should be "Standard")This made the upgrade process stop, and nothing I could come up with would make it resume. The system asked to reboot, and that's where the problems began, because the computer was rendered unusable.After I found and corrected the above problem (by manualy editing the offending bit on /var/lib/dpkg/available the process went on, but by this time things were really screwed up, I had to manually install unity before I could have an usable machine again.So, beware this error, and maybe the developers could make a more robust error detection trap for this kind of problem, allowing the upgrade to continue (it was a non-essential package).

Recently installed Fedora 11 from CD on eeepc900HA. Update manager suggested 402 updates available. trying to update I get the following traceback error report:
Traceback (most recent call last):
On trying this process a second time after having selected specific packages I noticed that a prepare machine for upgrade package (not selected by me) seemed to be where the process stalled.
Trying a third time with attempt to upgrade some (random) python packages I get the same result via a system/admin/upgrade or download software .

I have installed ubuntu 11.04 on my HCL Me Laptop. The OS is not getting halted when I use the shut down or the restart menu from the GUI. It is not shutting down when used the commands 'sudo shut down now' or 'sudo poweroff now' or 'sudo halt now' or 'sudo init 0' also. Except when used the 'shut down' command, the command line hangs at:
init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (1981) terminated with status 1
checking for running unattended upgrades.
When used the 'shut down' command, the violet screen where the word ' ubuntu ' is written appears and hangs. I have updated my OS yesterday, but it is not fixing the problem. All the time I am using power button to have a forced shutdown. I loved the natty nerwhal.

This may be too late, but, Do not under any circumstances install or Upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 Natty, it is the buggiest distro they have ever produced, it is better to stick to 10.04, it's far more stable and stuff just works. Natty use a new desktop called Unity, that is totally useless, there are ssh issues that prevent logging to a remote terminal using a public key, Natty is just useless. I'm going to have to backup my ~ directory and reformat then re-install 10.4, until such times as Natty is fixed!. Check the launchpad bugs section and you'll see there are more complaints about Natty then any other Ubuntu version.

Offlate I installed F11 i586 on my laptop. F11 shares the hard disk with Vista Home Premium 32-bit. The problem is that when running F11 (or even Ubuntu), my system shut off suddenly(not a normal OS shut down, but a sudden power off without any warning). This could have been a hardware trouble(heating) but it doesn't happen with Vista.
Machine specifications:
Maker: Toshiba
Model: Satellite L305D-S5881
AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor RM-70
3072 MB 800 MHz SDRAM
I don't want to open up my machine unnecessarily, if it isn't a hardware issue.
I am not sure how to verify the bit length of the machine and the OS and does it create a compatibility issue ?
Your advise would be highly appreciated.

I have installed OpenLDAP on Feodora 14. But while configuring I have noticed that the file /etc/openldap/slapd.conf is missing. I tried rpm -ql and it is stated the file is present in the location. I am not sure how many other require files are missing. Which server I should go for for centralize authentication.

This error pops up randomly since last night, what is it about? I thought its maybe related to [URL] but I did not install/update/change anything with yum or packagekit for a few days. Could it be a problem with the daily update-check?

In my project, there is a requirement for adding one more attribute for file properties which keeps track of previous file copies(Copy history).
So how can we accomplish this?
can we add/store this information in inode structure?

When opening "Update-manager" I get this error:
E:Malformed line 47 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
What I was trying to do was update my Opera web browser, when I tried, Ubuntu told me that I was attempting to download from an unauthenticated source, I checked the software sources list and Opera was in there, so I deleted it and re-added it, I must have done it wrong because after closing out and refreshing "Update-manager" it gave me the error above and closed. So now I can't update anything.

Any time I've tried to run 'yum search' or 'yum info' I end up getting a error "database disk image is malformed"
Code:
$ yum info postgresql
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: database disk image is malformed
I am, however, able to update and install software without this error occuring.
I've tried the 'yum clean all", "yum clean metadata", "yum clean datacache", and rebuilding with "yum makecache", but still this problem crops up. As I understand it, the error message comes from something possibly not having been updated properly in one of the sqlite databases that yum stores information in. I probably could fix it if I knew which sqlite db that 'yum search' and 'yum info' hit.

I don't know whether this is happening because my machine is behind an HTTP proxy, or for some other reason. When I enter my Ubuntu One account name and pass into "Connect to Ubuntu One" and click Connect, I get this code error instantly:
Code: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'makefile' If I enter nothing or invalid data into these fields, a red icon is displayed immediately, but the error above appears with valid and accurate data in the fields. If this is a proxy issue, why doesn't the application honor the system-wide proxy settings?

I have two touch screen monitors tha tI'm configuring for a dual-head display.That is working.For the touch screens it's a bit more complicated, each touch screen requires that I apply a specific config file for each individual TS (touch screen). Each config file is unique to it display. for that I'm using xinput to apply those configuration.My problem here is that the TSs are the same model and show up under udev and xinput under the same the same name minus the different hardware IDs whish is the only way that I can currently distiguish them.So far I've experimented with tweaking the udev rules for a particular TS with no luck (more than likely because I might be doing it wrong).I ned to be able to tell the two appart when I apply the configurations in xinput so I can write a script that will do this automatically for me.
