Ubuntu :: Any Simpler Package Managers In Kubuntu?

Jan 10, 2011

I have been using kubuntu 10.04 for a while now and its working great. The main problem is that as far as I know it lacks a simplified package manager like ubuntu software center. Kpackagekit is fine as a synaptic replacement but searching for programs among all sorts of unrelated packages is very tiring. Are there any other options?

Ubuntu :: Package Managers Crash ?

Jul 14, 2011

All my package managers are crashing. I will try to start them up, they will begin loading, and then will crash. The problem began with the Update Manager putting up the red circle error icon that says: "An error has occured, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'Error: BrokenCount > 0'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies."

The recommended fix for this looks to be on this post that I got from LaunchPad: [url]

It says to: "Open the Synaptic package manager. System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager

If anything is broken it will tell you.Choose 'Custom' from the buttons at the bottom then click on 'Broken'

Right click on the offending package and choose to remove it."

Unfortunately, Synaptic won't open.

Reading package lists... Done
Segmentation faulty tree... 50%
root@fairyland:/home/timmy#

also synaptic can't be started. i've run apt-get clean and removed /var/lib/apt/list i also tried apt-get update but these don't work sum useful info:

root@fairyland:/home/timmy# tail -n 40 /var/log/dpkg.log
2011-06-26 11:58:07 status half-installed virtualbox-ose 3.2.12-dfsg-1

General :: Bash Function/alias For Package Managers?

Jul 6, 2010

I have packer installed for AUR packages, but I want to be able to use the pacman command for both. I think I will need a function for this -- what I mean is that whenever I use pacman, it will try using packer and if that fails (invalid option) it will use pacman-color. It could also decide which program to use based on the arguments. I can't just use packer (alias pacman='sudo packer') because packer doesn't have some options like -R to remove packages. I want to always use it to install and upgrade packages however, because It can install from the default repositories as well as AUR.

Does someone know how to accomplish this, or could point me in the right direction? I'm new to bash scripting. error (e.g. pacman -V prints packer: Option '-V' is not valid.).

General :: Package Managers Upgrade Packages Like Glibc?

Jul 16, 2011

I've been looking further into Linux from Scratch, and I am particularly interested in the package management side of the system. I understand that this is not covered in the book, but if I were to attempt LFS, package management would be a major convenience. From what I have read, when upgrading packages like glibc, you have to recompile everything to reflect the change.

If that is true, how do package managers like pacman and apt get around this issue? Isn't lacking glibc for even the time it takes to replace the files catastrophic to the system?

General :: Compile Programs And Their Dependencies Manually Or Are Package Managers The Only Way?

May 29, 2010

Is there an easier way (without using a package manager) to upgrade programs? For example, I just want to upgrade Amarok. In order to do this, I've had to upgrade every one of it's dependencies because they've all had minor upgrades from the versions I already have installed.

Is there an easier way to compile programs and their dependencies manually or are package managers the only way?

I`am just trying to connect Samba with ldap to make it simpler for the users to log in. We have already attached squid, so by that we thought it would be easy to do the same with samba. I think we did something wrong with the ldap config for the os with is btw:

Ubuntu :: Kubuntu Lock Or Hold Package Version?

Nov 25, 2010

Having 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.

Software :: Adept Package Manager APT Database Error On Kubuntu 6.10?

Jul 12, 2010

I am running Kubuntu 6.10. I opened adept package manager to create a new repository. It opened and I created the new repository (/home/dell/repository/)it went through. I closed adept. Opened adept and a error message reading this popped up: "The APT database could not be opened! This may because by incorrect APT configuration or some similar problem. Try running apt-setup and apt-get in terminal and see if it helps resolve the problem." I ran it in terminal (I was online) for both and update and upgrade in both apt-get apt-setup, but it tells me "E: type "/home/dell/repository/" is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list E: The list of sources could not be read." I tried opening Add/Remove Programs but it did the same thing as adept. I am a linux newbie, and haven't toyed with APT database. When I added the new repository I just opened Manage Repositories and then entered "/home/dell/repository/", clicked add and it was put on the list as "Comment | /home/dell/repository/" in a grey text. I right clicked on it and clicked enable, it stayed grey. I left the program then. How can I fix the APT database?

Ubuntu :: Point To Kubuntu CD Instead Of Kubuntu Repository?

Mar 7, 2011

I would like to apply KDE on my Kubuntu because the current one blew up. But each time I to sudo get-apt it seems to be fetching from the cloud. Is there a way I can make it to read from my local Kubuntu CD? I have both Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Kubuntu Live CDs.

I believe the local disk read should be faster to translate than to bite the bytes across thousands of miles over the wire right?

Ubuntu :: Download Managers Not Working

Jun 14, 2010

Every time I try to use Tucan or Gwget to download a file, it gives me a time like 2 minutes or 47 seconds, and downloads an empty file. I checked to make sure I was logged into my RS account, tried it with zShare, and again with several different links. Does the same thing with .rar or .avi, the extension doesn't make a difference. Thought it was Tucan at first, so tried Gwget instead and both are doing it. Until now they both worked fine.

Ubuntu Networking :: What Are The Various Network Managers

May 27, 2009

What are the various network managers that can be present on Ubuntu? I have been having problems with network connections on my laptop, and it seems that I have more than one manager that is conflicting with the other. I can make settings for both wired and wireless connections using nm-connection-manager, yet using the applet NetworkManager to make a connection ends up with different settings.

i.e. I had set a fixed IP address with nm-connection-manager, yet NetworkManager made a connection that had a different address. When I went back to NetworkManager, the settings had been changed to make an automatic connection with DHCP. I did have wicd installed at one point, but deleted it with synaptic using the "complete removal" setting.I want to be able to go to one location to setup the connections, and have those settings remain.

Ubuntu :: Any Other File Managers For OS Other Than Dolphin And Nautilus

Sep 29, 2010

I was wondering is there were any other file managers for Ubuntu other than nautilus and dolphin, And it has to have a GUI, I like nautilus, but I cant stand the way it's tabs are now (compared to how they were in karmic) also nautilus is a little slow for my liking, dolphins tabs are fine, but I use gnome and it looks terrible outside of KDE.

Ubuntu :: Window Managers Support For Workspace Per Screen

Dec 29, 2010

As the title says I am looking for window managers that support having a workspace per screen. Now I'm not talking xrandr, twinview, xinerma or anything. I don't think this feature is possible with metacity. Most tiling window managers are like this and I love it, it makes things so much more efficient.

So how do I get them back? And are there other program window management programs that might be of interest? If it matters, I'm using Ubuntu Studio.

Ubuntu :: Download Managers Can't Resume Downloads - Errors?

Apr 9, 2011

I have tried so many download managers it ain't funny, but there's one thing they all don't seem to know how to do well, and that's resume problematic downloads. I have used both fast and slow Internet connections on 3 continents (currently I'm on a slow and intermittent one as I live in Burma) so speed doesn't seem to be what causes the problem. And I download from many, many different sites, so it's not site specific either. The problem is as follows. I'm downloading a file from a server that supports resuming downloads but something goes wrong with the download and the download manager reports an error, like "size mismatch", or "timeout error".

What I really, really want to know, is why can't these managers resume downloads that experience these errors? Why can't they set markers during the download process (say every 5MB) so that if a problem like a size mismatch, a connection dropout, or a timeout occurs, then it can backtrack only slightly and then resume? I download a couple of shows from revision3 each week and more often than I care to remember they've failed at around 70% of a 300MB+ download and merrily just start downloading all over again. Another frustrating thing is they ditch the file that didn't finish, so I can't even watch the part of the show I had. I live with it, though it's very frustrating, but I wonder why these download managers aren't more intelligent.

General :: Switch Between Two Desktop Managers?

Jan 5, 2010

If I install a new desktop manager without uninstalling the old one, how do I specify which one to use? I wanted to look at LXDE, so to see what would happen, I installed it without uninstalling KDE. KDE apparently just sat underneath, and was unaffected. I didn't keep LXDE, but I might, if I could switch back to KDE to do work until I understood LXDE. (Keeping up-to-date in MEPIS will force me to learn KDE 4 despite that KDE 3 was fine, so I might as well examine other desktop managers.)

Ubuntu Installation :: Fetching From Servers Fail When Using Update Managers

Jan 11, 2010

I have Ubuntu Karmic 64-bit installed. Update manager tells me there are updates available, but when i try to install them, downloading the updates fail and throws this error:

Code:
Failed to fetch [URL]
Consequently, a similar error occurs when I try installing Sun Java 6 Runtime.

Code:
Failed to fetch [URL] Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]
And of course Ubuntu Restricted Extras stalls when it's time to download the Java package

I tried synaptic, update manager, aptitude, apt-get, and they all throw similar errors. Then I also tried connecting to different servers, to no avail. So to check if it's my connection to the net that has problems somehow, I tried downloading the file directly through my web browser, and it works. (But it's not recommended, and it won't let me!, install the updates manually, right?) I then checked if I'm using some inappropriate proxy settings, and everywhere it's all set up to connect to the net directly, which is, well, my setup. Take note though, that I am able to install other software normally, i.e, using synaptic, apt-get etc. The ones I tried include Pidgin and Mplayer.

It's just these updates and Java:
Code:
jeanne@jeanne-desktop:~$ sudo sudo aptitude upgrade
W: The "upgrade" command is deprecated; use "safe-upgrade" instead.
