1. When you lock a package shouldn't updates be ignored? I locked a few but the update-manager keeps bothering me about them.
2. Seems like randomly the checkbox for treat recommended packages as dependencies turns true. It has seemed that way for at least a year.
I always manually check Update Manager and there are updates, but I never received any kind of notice indicating such. I thought some sort of popup or notice was supposed to appear in the panel or something to alert me that updates are available? Am I mistaken? Is there a setting I need to activate be alerted that updates are available?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHaving trouble figuring this out. I've got a package that I've installed from out-of-repos and Kubuntu feels the need to "upgrade" this package to a version that I do not want to use. I've found out how to do this in Ubuntu, but not in Kubuntu. A commandline solution would be fine, although I've googled it and not come up with any working results.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having a dual boot with Windows 7 OS(64 bit) and Ubuntu 10.10. I installed Ubuntu through Wubi installer from my Windows 7. Usually when I start my computer it first shows my Windows Boot Manager screen. It shows a menu with 2 options Windows 7 and Ubuntu. For getting into Windows 7 I need to choose the first option. For booting into Ubuntu I need to choose the 2nd option i.e Ubuntu. And then it would show me a Grub boot menu with the options being different kernel versions and recovery modes etc. The latest I had was some 2.6.26 version.
I recently did a package update with update-manager. After the update I am not able to boot into Ubuntu. After the Windows boot manager screen it takes me to a screen that says something like
Try (hd0, 0): NTFS5: No wubuildr
Try (hd0, 1): NTFS5: No wubuildr
Try (hd0, 2): NTFS5:
After this the screen turns into full white and then it automatically reboots! It doesn't take me to the Grub menu! It happens quite fast that to even read the above 3 lines it took to try booting a number of times!
One thing I noticed in the package update was that grub was one of the updated packages. Another thing is that in my Windows 7 in c: directory there is a file called wubuildr whose creation time is almost the same time as when the package update happened. There is also a wubuildr.mbr but it's creation and last modification times are much older. But then I am clueless as to what is the purpose of the file and so I am not sure how to use it to fix this problem if possible.
Also through ext2explore program from Windows 7 I could copy the /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /var/log/dpkg.log files. I have attached grub.cfg and dpkg.log with .txt extensions. In the dpkg.log file that I attached I just removed all lines except those containing "upgrade" so that it wouldn't be too long a file and you can easily see just what packages were upgraded.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the package "xvidcap" (Screen recorder) installed in Ubuntu, the problem I have is the version I have installed is an older version and there is a newer version avaliable, but I don't want to install the newer version as this breaks some functionality regarding screen capturing e.g. audio capturing. But each time I run Update Manager the package appears in the list to be upgraded.
Is there anyway to flag the package as do not upgrade or something to make it not appear in Update Manager or at least have it greyed out so the checkbox isn't automatically checked each time update manager is ran?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm running Debian Lenny on my trusty old Thinkpad T41 laptop. Everything is running great with only one issue I can't seem to resolve. Under Gnome, the package manager will state that there are updates available. When I run the package manager to install the updates, none are listed. From the console, when I run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, it states that there are 0 packages available. I have no idea why this is happening. I'm not receiving any error messages and none of the sources are giving errors.

I have Fedora 10 and I'd been holding out on updating to 11 and now 12 is out. It popped up asking me to update so I decided to finally update. When I come back to it, it said /boot was running low on memory and that I should delete an old kernel to free up space. Well shouldn't the updater have deleted fedora 10? Sorry I'm new to all this linux stuff. What should I do now?

I read a few threads about updating packages in opensuse 11.3, and about switching to a repository, but I still don't understand a few things. On earlier versions of opensuse I was used to set the repository priorities in an order that was convenient for me, and when I did an update, the vendor changed if needed.
Now, vendor change is not allowed by default, and I don't understand the right way to handle repositories, and updates. I found out that in Software Managment there is an option to allow vendor change, but I'm not sure that's the right way.

I have updated the gdm file to be able to log in as root in Fedora 10.Nevertheless after I had selected package updates to be installed logged in as root I still get an error message that I do not have enough privileges.The terminal installation method is a bit of a problem since I do not think it will search for dependencies and therefore it can be excessively long to figure out what is missing for a package installation. In simple cases it works OK, but in more difficult cases it is a bear.
