My self-built PC had a BT wireless adaptor in it which worked, albeit after a bit of a faff, with Ubuntu 10.10 in connecting to my BT HomeHub2.
When I came to use it last week it would not connect. I'd not changed any hardware but I had been applying regular updates via Update Manager.
Bearing in mind the "faff" factor, I decided to try a different (Edimax) wireless card but got the same result. Upgrading to 11.04 has made no difference either.
It does *try* to connect but fails, so I think the card is installed correctly. I've also tried a full reset on the HomeHub and the setup works fine with W7.
I changed my internet source from wireless to wired cable which came with a new IP address. Subsequently anytime I try checking for updates from the update manager it still refers me to my old IP address for wireless and here is the results I get:
I am currently using Debian Testing, managing my wireless connection with NetworkManager and the Gnome nm-applet. Both have just been updated: network-manager from 0.8.1-6+squeeze1 to 0.8.2-6 and network-manager-gnome from 0.8.1-2 to 0.8.2-4.On installation of the new packages, I have no problems. However, on a reboot, I can no-longer connect to any wireless connection. I am not prompted on start-up for the password to unlock the Gnome keyring and when I left-click on the nm-applet icon and then click on a network to connect to it, nothing happens.I do not think this is a driver or NetworkManager daemon problem. If I run "nmcli dev wifi" or left-click on the applet icon, NetworkManager seems to scan for wireless networks properly and returns a list including the one I wish to connect to.
I'm running Fedora 11, and just did an update of the system. It looks like there was an update to the package that takes care of knetwork manager. In the past, I have played around with it, but it hasn't met my needs, so I went back to nm-applet, which works fine.
I'm curious about the update, and would like to see if it works. However, knetwork manager won't start as there is another network manager already running (there is a message about this everytime I log in). I can easily kill nm-applet, but logging out and back in causes it to reload, and I still get the message from knetwork manager. So here are my questions:
1) With the update, is knetwork manager stable and robust enough for regular use (the docs for F11 said it wasn't upon F11 release, so included gnome's network manager as the default network manager)? 2) How do I get knetwork manager to work (I presume this means I turn off Gnome's network management and switch to knetwork management)?

After click on install updates and entering password, a message says "Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s). Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages? Yes/No.
If I answer No, this message appears:
W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po....10.1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]
If Yes, it tries to download but immediately:
W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po....10.1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]
It has always installed the updates with no problems, until these 3 updates remain in pending installation status.
Only been using linux for about 2 weeks now. Yesterday my internet worked without a hitch now today all of a sudden it wont connect. I had the "Install problem! The configurataion defaults for gnome manager have not been installed correctly" so I deleted my music directory and now it boots fine, dont know if that might be part of the issue/ I dual boot win7 and i can get wireless on that partition but not ubuntu
I'm trying get updates from update manager and it says "the upgrade needs a total of 498M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 495M of disk space on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'." I ran sudo apt-get clean n it did nothing.
Version 8.1. I am trying to update all software packages on my netbook. When I run the update manager and press check, it scans for a while saying downloading 1 of 15 packages and then returns with errors like:
W: Failed to fetch [URL] Unable to connect to 10.0.1.248 8080:
W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
how do I upgrade software on my netbook to their latest version?
Is there an easy way/place to get more info on the updates that the Ubuntu (9.04) Update Manager presents to you? I know you can highlight one and look below at the "Changes" and "Description". But how can you find a real explanation of what the update is? To give one exampe: There's a 5.0MB update called: openoffice.org-writer It appears to be a new version of the Writer program?? or is it just security updates?? Should I install it if I'm happy with the current Writer version? bottom line: where can I get plain talk about what these updates are?
I am relatively new to Ubuntu, so this might be an easy fix. When I try to install my updates with Update Manager I get this error message: p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } W: Failed to fetch [URL]..Could not connect to 172.16.30.51:3128 (172.16.30.51). - connect (110: Connection timed out) W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...tu1.3_i386.deb Unable to connect to 172.16.30.51:3128: (and it goes on like this for a while) Also, when I go to install software, I get this message: Requires installation of untrusted packages. and if I click OK, nothing happens. The software won't install. I have a feeling this is because I can't update my system.
So I just recently installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx over my old XP system and I have been loving it so far. I did run into a problem though. Shortly after installing Ubuntu, it prompted me to install updates and I did so. After the updates had installed, my computer restarted and the whole desktop theme/look changed to a older looking version of Ubuntu. I really liked the look of Lucid Lynx and have been trying to get it back.
I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an old computerd lying around and have been pleasantly surprised by it.I had a small problem with firefox not connecting to the internet but I managed to fix this by disabling ipv6 in about:config.The problem I now have is that update manager fails to download updates and gives a message saying failed to fetch several files.I'm connected to the internet via a wired router
I recently upgraded to 9.04 and Update Manager stopped working. If I start Update Manager it will check for updates and display them but will not install the updates. I am prompted for a password but the updates are never downloaded and I get no error messages.

I can't select any of the distribution updates in the update manager. The screen shot attached shows there are 3 distribution updates available but I can't select the check box in the update manager UI to have the update installed. My system is Ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-24-generic).

I particularly want to update my version of OpenShot video editor. I have version 1.1.3 installed and I can see there is now a version 1.2.2.1.
I'd like to get this app under management of the update manager. How can I do this?
I currently have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04 (The beta) running on my Laptop. I want to know if it's possible to get 11.04 (Full) through the update manager? If so, how? Secondly, if I wanted to just go back to 10.10, could i install it over the current 11.04? I don't want to copy files over or anything like that, just a fresh start.
when I open the update manager, he lists 14 items as recomended updates and when I click on install updates appears a box with this mesage "An error occurred" and makes the following list: Code: W: Failed to fetch [URL] Size mismatch
Installed Macbuntu on my new installation of Ubuntu 10.10. At onset was able to run update Manager with no problem. However after a couple of days and since I did the theme to make my ubuntu look like a Mac...it doesn't want to install any updates it receives. It says another program is running but I'm not running anything other than the Update Manager. Any suggestions as to how to fix this or should I drop the theme and go back to the regular window theme that came with the version of Ubuntu 10.10 I downloaded from the main site.
I noticed that after applying updates to my ubuntu 10.4 desktop my printer was not working. I discovered that cups was no longer running and I was unable to get it to start. After re-installing cups using the below command everything is now working. This is the 2nd time I've had to re-install cups after patching.
After applying Ubuntu updates i am now unable to mount volumes it tells me that i am denied.I have checked my user permissions and i am allowed to mount. I have also downgraded MountAll to no avail.
I have 10.04 installed and Update Manager has worked fine for months, until about 2 weeks ago. When I ask Update Manager to update its indexes, I get this error message returned almost immediately
"Method http has died unexpectedly! Sub-process http returned an error code (127) Method http has died unexpectedly! Sub-process http returned an error code (127)
The internet connection is working fine on this machine. I have another 10.04 machine sitting right next to the problem computer, and Update Manager works fine on that machine. I verified that all settings are the same between the 2 machines in these areas
1. All Update Manager SETTINGS (including SOFTWARE SOURCES)
2. System -> Preferences -> NETWORK PROXY (which is a Direct Internet Connection)
3. System -> Preferences -> NETWORK CONNECTION
It appears to me that the connection to Ubuntu repositories is failing but I can't find anything different between the 2 machines.
How do I disable certain updates in the update manager? I don't want to install the open office uno runtime environment because I installed the rpm packages from the open office website. This update corrupts my installation of open office and I always have to reinstall it.
I have Ubuntu 8.04 LTS right now, and after looking at my updates the computer said I needed. Some of them look like i would not need them at all. It had like over a thousand updates to do. Should I pick and choose or just run it?
After applying some updates to F11, I was unable to login. After putting the username and password in, the dialog would go away and it would appear that the window manager was trying to load. Somewhere in the process the mouse and keyboard stops responding. The HD activity lights flashes for quite a while but later goes out.
Hoping that F12 would help, I upgraded. The upgrade went well but the problem still exists.
Is there a way to get the matching Linux kernel headers automatic on a regular kernel update via the Ubuntu packed manager? Every time I get a new kernel I must do an aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`
My Update Manager stopped working for last three weeks. When I press button INSTALL UPDATES in Update Manager, nothing happens just Reading packing information is executed and when it is finished nothing continues,so nothing I chosen is installed. I have tried to fix broken packages in Synaptic Manager, but no change.
I am experiencing a Hang while downloading updates using the Update Manager. I have 61 packages in order to update my system.
Every time i try to install the updates, the download hangs for a large period of time, I tried to change the server i changed the server (US) to Main Server and the problem persists!
I got some updates today from Update Manager & when I booted up after instillation my computer was forced into low graphics mode. Removed & then reinstalled the FGLRX drivers from the Hardware Drivers tool, rebooted & still the ATI control panel is borked.I believe one of the updates were called fglrx-modaliases.
