Hey all! For the past week or so, I've had a losing battle with the Update Manager. I try to install my updates, but... well this screenshot should describe my explanation. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could get my updates installed?
View 1 RepliesI noticed this today for the second or third time since getting 10.04: all my machines are installing security updates automatically, despite the fact that KPackageKit is set to 'only notify about available updates.'
Am I just being stupid, missing a setting somewhere, or is this a bug? Aside from the fact that I like to know what's being installed, I often use my laptop on satellite or other bandwidth-metered connections (as was the case when it happened today), and I don't want the OS to start dictating how much I owe my ISP at the end of the month!
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, and I had some trouble with an old Drupal installation, so I ran the script below in an effort to revert PHP back to version 5.2. The script below didn't work for me, and now Update Manager gives me the message "Not all updates can be installed", presumably because the script changed the repository for some of the software from lucid to karmic.Script which "broke" Update Manager:Quote:

I am a recent convert to Ubuntu and have the Ubuntu 10.10 version installed on my computer.All has been going on well until I installed FreePops. Since then, when I check for updates through the Update Manager, it shows that it's searching for updates but then it brings up a pop up stating the following "Failed to download repository information" and under this the following is mentioned "W:Failed to fetch [URL], E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."I have removed FreePops from Synaptic Package Manager but the above mentioned error still appears and updates cannot be installed. I have rebooted my computer also and performed the updates but the error still appears.
View 2 Replies View RelatedToday when I started my computer I got an error from the updater saying the Following
Ubuntu 10.10
Not all updates can be installed
Run a part upgrade to install as many as possible.
This can be caused by:
*A earlier update that hasn't been complete
*Problem with parts of the installed software
*In offical program packages that havent been "?Something?" By ubuntu
*Common changes in a early version of ubuntu
So what should I do? Just take Part update? And do you know what may be the cause of this. Only thing I installed lately was a "game" from the ubuntu Program central and I haven't run it and I restarted my computer 1 time before this when having it installed.
Running fine for a couple of weeks now, my Ubuntu Lucid install on a Sony laptop Vaio VGN-N21E went through some updates an hour ago. After the updates were installed, I shut the laptop down. The shutdown was slow but graceful with no errors. Now, when I try and power back on, I get errors about CIFS stating that the network share I map to could not connect. Also, that the network could not connect. I usually connect wirelessly and had no problems until now. It lets me log in but freezes after I see my desktop. No cursor or keyboard response...no response to CTRL+ALT+DEL...I can only manually force shutdown....
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy laptop is sadly rather elderly and the battery is broken, so if it is unplugged it loses power and immediately turns off. Unfortunately I managed to accidentally do exactly this in the middle of upgrading from Lucid to Natty. I turned the computer back on, some automated disk checks were run, and I'm now apparently using Maverick.
Launching Update Manager, I get the following message:
"Not all updates can be installed
Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible.
This can be caused by:
*A previous upgrade which didn't complete
*Problems with some of the installed software
*Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
*Normal changes of a pre-release version of Ubuntu"
Clicking the "Partial Upgrade" option, the system starts to upgrade but exits with the following in the Terminal:
"dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0121' near line 42 package 'texlive-xetex':
duplicate value for 'Status' field"
Basically I have no idea what to do from here. The functions that I need from my computer are working (internet, music player) and I don't really need much more than that but I'd rather it was working. Also I can't install any updates or upgrade to Natty until this is solved.
i was being a little impacient with my friends Dell Inspiron 1545 tonight.. i was updating to 11.04 from 10.10 and decided to install adobe flash player plugins at the same time... so since i was installing 11.04 it wouldnt install adobe...i went back to the distribution upgrade now this pulls up... Not all updates can be installed run a partial upgrade..... i hit run partial...now this comes up.. Can not upgrade An upgrade from 'maverick' to 'lucid' is not supported with this tool. when i hit reload this comes up AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED W: GPG error: [URL] maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192
View 9 Replies View RelatedIve gotten a project from a local school in a very rural town to upgrade the computer systems on a very low budget. So, being a F/OSS advocate I ran the idea of a linux environment which, in reality will cost hundereds (maybe thousands) less for them, and also cut down "down-time" due to viruses and such. I was thinking of Ubuntu since its got a great community, and personally, I love it. Problem is, this school is on a limited bandwidth for internet, so installing ubuntu and performing the updates is not a feasible idea since the cost will be astronomical. My question is, how can I go about an simply "update" the ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD so that when I install it, It will have all the updates? Another thing that would be nice, is that this school would like to have their own wallpaper, so if I could change the default wallpaper while I'm performing this "update" will be very nice.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using the latest Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid lynx. Sometimes ago while I am updating my operating system to linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic (2.6.32-25.44) with update manager, after downloading all the files it was running the installation. During installation suddenly my pc turned off, may be for some power issue. Then while I again start my pc and tried to restart the update process the update manager show me a message. "Not all updates can be install. Run a partial upgrade, to install as many as updates as possible."
This can be caused by:
* A previous upgrade which didn't complete.
* Problem with some of the installed software.
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu.
* Normal changes of a pre-release version of Ubuntu.
Then I tried to open the synaptic package manager. But it didn't open either and show another message which suggest to run the command in the terminal: "sudo dpkg --configure -a". And unluckily it wasn't work. and show the messgae:
"dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0103' near line 0: newline in field name `#padding'".
Everything was fine and dandy then I installed tonight's updates (about 6 of them - 2 or 3 for GTK and a couple of others) and now the close button at top right of the Firefox window doesn't work The buttons are still there, and the minimize and restore work ok, but the close button just flickers and leaves the window open. Also, if I right-click the tell-tale in the bottom bar of the desktop and slect "close" nothing happens. The FF window stays there
I can't think of any other way to close the window besides ending the processes in System Monitor. I can open other windows (like Home folder or Synaptic) and close those without a problem by clicking on the close button. It's just Firefox with the problem, so I don't think it is a Window Manager problem.
I've got 10.4.1(rev190?) installed in what I guess is Wubi and have been running dual boot for a couple of weeks now. My other OS is XP. I recently ran the updater then shut the computer down for a week. I can't remember now if I had to restart to complete any updates or not but my laptop battery is fried so once I unplugged it after it completed shutdown all power was removed from the system for 9 days. Today I tried to boot Ubuntu and after I chose it from the boot menu it flashed some sort of message about WUBILDR really quick (I wasn't able to read it all) then went through its normal boot until the Ubuntu splash screen where one dot went red and the system hung.
I allowed it a good 15 minutes to see if it would unhang but no dice. It boots fine on XP. Any advice? I'm reading the Wubi Megathread right now but as I'm new to Ubuntu I figured I'd check to see if anyone else experienced these particular problems here, too. Right now I'm going to download the Ubuntu installer to a disk to try some of the Megathread troubleshooting.
I ran Update Manager and installed updates. Now flash video and other things with flash content wont work.
To give one example. I go to a web I use frequently and the following message is displayed at the top: "Additional plug-ins are required to display media on this page"
I click on "install mising plug-ins" and select Flash Player-installer. Bu then it tells me it's already installed! This has only happened since last night when I installed the updates!
I installed updates a few days ago and now my computer just hangs. After the blue and white bar at the bottom of the screen disappears when loading F11, I get a blank screen with the following: ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready. I think this happened after I had some kernel updates installed. The only way I can get Fedora to run is by booting up with a previous version. How do I fix this? I seem to be having alot of issues with updates messing up some part of my system lately.

View 6 Replies View RelatedA few weeks ago I did a WUBI 10.04 LTS install on a Windows XP desktop that went perfect. System ran great until this morning. I was prompted to install "Security Updates", which I allowed the system to do, but thereafter was unable to boot. What happens is at the point of selecting either Windows or Ubuntu for booting, and I choose Ubuntu, the computer goes right back into a re-boot process and brings me back to the Windows/Ubuntu boot selection prompt. It doesn't even bring me into the secondary boot level of asking which type of Ubuntu boot I want (generic, etc.). Is there a solution for this problem besides reinstalling Ubuntu?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe other day there were a number of updated needed on my server which I installed with yum (the software updater GUI). Now my websites are not coming up even on the server using http://localhost
I reviewed the info and found that httpd was updated to 2.2.3-45 and am suspecting that this is the cause of the issue. So my silly little question is how do I roll back this update?
I recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 off of a disc and it worked perfectly, however after I downloaded and installed the system updates from the update manager, it stopped working and it won't even see my device. I have a Zonenet ZEW2500 USB wireless adapter.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently had my AE 1000 linksys wireless adapter driver installed, the info for which can be found here:

But today I was presented with 142 automatic updates already downloaded waiting to be installed on my computer. I installed the updates and restarted my computer for the updates to take effect. Well, since then my wireless adapter no longer registers at all, it doesn't even recognize my router let alone connect to it. It is as inoperable as the day I got it.
I am currently using a different computer in the house to get internet. Should I go about following the same directions I did before and reinstall the driver, or is there a more simple way?
I got a message today telling me that there where 78 updates available. One of them was Kernel 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586 and when I installed all the updates and rebooted, my startup time was very slow. And when I checked the boot.log I noticed this:

Trying to help brother whose computer quit working after he downloaded updates. Don't know Linux lingo but it looks to me like he has multiple flavors of Linux running: Gnome, ubuntu, xbuntu, kbuntu - probably more I've forgotten.
He knew nothing about computers at all and inherited a build-it-yourself computer kit that someone was throwing away. It came with a CD of Linux software. By trial and error he made it run and has managed to do some amazing things with photos and graphic design. But he downloads and launches EVERYTHING that suggests itself to him. Sometimes a thousand files at a time.
Now his machine boots but won't run any apps. It keeps giving him a message that he needs to "manually run" some "dpkg-something" but he doesn't know how to get to any sort of root or command prompt where he can enter a manual command. All he knows how to do is click icons. He's clicked them all. Now his computer is continually running screen after screen of programming language.
Is there any hope? Can we reinstall an OS without losing all of his files of graphics work? Which OS should he use on a fairly old and slow machine if his main (only?) use is graphic design?
I just installed a series of Ubuntu 9.10 updates, and after rebooting the machine, I can no longer connect via ethernet / lan to the internet. The connection manager just shows the spinning graphic showing the adapter is attempting to connect to the internet. I don't know which update caused it, and I'm not very good with linux. I was using network manager, and I believe that package was uploaded! Help, what should I do now? My Ubunutu is completely useless without a connection to the internet.
View 5 Replies View Relatedstart ubuntu, the update manager will automaticly start and tells me that "Not all updates can be installed". I know this is a common issue people ask questions about, because I've seen a number of threads.Still, after reading about this issue, I'm unsure how to fix it. I'll describe my situation:When I close the messagebox, I'm left with an update manager that presents me with 851 updates. Some checkboxes are unchecked and cannot be checked. It also shows me that I can upgrade to 10.4. I don't want to do that yet. I just want to recieve my updates to keep my system safe and up-to-date.I've taken a look at the situation in synaptic. I clicked "Mark all upgrades". It marked a whole lot of them. I noticed that "gdm" and maybe 20 other packages were about to be removed. I became supsicious. Is this a good thing? I've also added two third party repositories, as you can see in my sources.list:
Code:
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security main restricted
[code]....
When I run updates I get a long list of packages for which it says 'The following package updates will NOT be installed'. I'm wondering why not?
The only thing I can think of is I followed the guide in a sticky thread in the Multimedia forum to get codecs installed, and part of that is to change the vendor of some Opensuse packages to packman.
Code:
~> sudo zypper up
Retrieving repository 'openSUSE-11.2-Update' metadata [done]
Building repository 'openSUSE-11.2-Update' cache [done]
Retrieving repository 'packman' metadata [done]
Building repository 'packman' cache [done]

Is there a way to to check if the system has the available security updates installed? Specifically, I am looking to do this programmatically.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.
I just learned that warsow 0.6 is out, and went to see if it was available in the ubuntu software center yet, as opposed to going and downloading and installing it manually from the warsow website. The ubuntu repo's still have version 0.5, and at the bottom of the page it says:
"Updates: Canonical does not provide updates for Warsow. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."
So if I wanted to 'update' this item in the repo's for the better of the community what would that entail?
