Ubuntu :: Install Various Bits Of Software, But Simply Can't Access Software Repositories, Getting Message "404 No Server"
Mar 26, 2011
I am running 10.10 from a Dell Mini via BT Home Hub version 2. Having recently solved an internet problem by stepping the wireless interface back a notch, I wanted to install various bits of software, but simply can not access software repositories, getting message "404 No Server" or something similar. Am I doing something stoooopid, or is there a problem out there?
I use slack 13.1 64 bits on my intel i7 machine. That is I can't find a flash-player plugin that works on all browsers. The firefox crashes on open. The release of adobe 64 bits plugin simply doesn't work on any browser. I use slack 13.1 64 plus kde. Anyone knows some that works?
I am wondering if I can install a 32 bits guest Windows XP in VirtualBox in my 64 bits Ubuntu Natty host? I need a 32 bits Windows to run some programs.
I installed recently Ubuntu 10.04 32 bits server CD to USB stick (EXT4). The target machine is an 500Mhz VIA Epia Pico-ITX equipped with 1Gb of memory. This x86 server will run one or two processes 24/7 actively in memory. Therefore not too many writes to disk, maybe once or twice a week editing config files. Also I compiled the latest vanilla kernel, 2.6.35.4 atm, and optimised for VIA C3. However I like to limit my question in this thread to limit disk writes on USB stick, please let me know if you know other good tweaks to apply I did not find (overlooked) here.
Following the Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide (11.2) guide, I added the packman repository.
Then when clicked OK to update the repos list, I get this message.What should I do? For now, I clicked "Do not import".Generally speaking, when something similar appears, how would you know to trust a resource for providing software?
when I reformat ubuntu, I use AptonCD to save packages and then restore them without downloading anything over again. what I want to know is: I have the 32 bits ubuntu installed and then I downloaded the 64 bits version. If i reformat to the 64 bits one, would the DVD saved aptoncd packages from the 32 bits work on the 64 bits installation?
I have a CPLD (EPM240100T) chip that has data type of 16 bits, but the CPU access it using 8 bit. How do I switch the CPU mode (to 16 bits) to access this chip?
I'm quite new to linux and I recently (and courageously) upgraded the computer of my work from opensuse 11.0 32bits to opensuse 11.2 64bits.
Well, everything would be quite fine except that I still have some softwares 32 bits that have the 64 bits version available. I know that because, using YaST, I can see by the Installed software section that there are 'choices' of versions for some programs; these versions are 'i586' and 'x86_64', and many of them have the i586 version installed.
So, I wonder if there is some type of auto upgrade all programs which are i586 and have the matching x86_64 avaliable...
I just create a vm image with 2 CPUs to be used on a one CPU machine. it works great. Now, i am thinking about creating a 64 bits Redhat VM image to be run on my 32 bits machine. Is that possible?
On the GnoTime home page they say that GnoTime is included with various distros, including suse. However, my opensuse 11.2 does not have this app. Do I need another repos? Can anyone advise how to simply install GnoTime for OpenSuse 11.2?
I downloaded Ubuntu last year and was mightily impressed. I'm not really a techy kinda person, but ubuntu was pretty straightforward to install and set up the packages and stuff like soulseek. however since then i moved to thailand and now I live in Myanmar and Thailand...my problem is that although the internet still works, everything else like updates, Synaptic, IRC, Soulseek don't work anymore...i've lived with it for 6 months, but now it's becoming a problem because i would like to download some more software...is there a simple solution to this or does ubuntu simply not cover these areas?
I have a Dell Mini running 10.10 dual booted. Accessing internet through a BT Home HUB version 2.problem solved by making the Wireless setting 802.11 B/G, instead of the BT default), now I can not access software repositories. when I try through synaptic to load Icedtea, or Google chrome for example, I get server not found 404. I was previously able to get software.
On Package repositories - openSUSE quite a few useful repositories are listed, however, only for SuSE 11.1 and upwards. Is there a way to access the same repositories for 11.0? (E.g. Contrib, KDE:KDE3 etc.) I remember that in Ubuntu the repositories for outdated versions had been simply moved to a slower server but I could use them just the same even when my version was a few years old. It would be good to have this for OpenSuSE as well. (Especially that the version I'm working on is on my machine at work, so I cannot just upgrade it.)
I recently setup a new Linux server running Fedora 10. For some reason all ping response times are rounded to the nearest 10ms. For example, running the simple command "ping yahoo.com" give the following sample results:
64 bytes from ir1.fp.vip.re1.yahoo.com (69.147.125.65): icmp_seq=12 ttl=57 time=60.0 ms 64 bytes from ir1.fp.vip.re1.yahoo.com (69.147.125.65): icmp_seq=13 ttl=56 time=50.0 ms 64 bytes from ir1.fp.vip.re1.yahoo.com (69.147.125.65): icmp_seq=14 ttl=56 time=40.0 ms 64 bytes from ir1.fp.vip.re1.yahoo.com (69.147.125.65): icmp_seq=15 ttl=56 time=50.0 ms
I could post a larger result set but its all the same... every response is rounded to a multiple of 10ms. This wouldn't be a big deal except that the server is running Nagios for monitoring so accurate stats are important. The Nagios check_ping and check_icmp commands are also returning rounded off results. How can I get ping to simply respond with the actual response times rather than a rounded off number?
I recently installed 11.4 32bit on my computer at my summer home. I carry a DVD with all my /home data. Then today I noticed that all my repositories are labeled "11.3" repositories. Everything works. Here is the output from "zypper lr -d"...
# | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service
[Code]....
What is the correct method of moving to the 11.4 repositories?
I just downloaded and installed netinst version debian 6.0.2.1. I've had ubuntu before, and several usb live versions...but I really wanted to learn how linux works, and it was suggested I get debian. I've been unable to get anything accomplished, other than the basic install. Can't get gnome, or xwindows. Seems to me like I need more repositories. Need a Desktop! But mostly, I guess, I need a browser so I can hook up to here!
My computer is: Dell Latitude 2100 2gb ram Broadcom BCM4312
I tried to get Xterm. Went su, then apt-get install xterm...it's able to 'read' everything, but then no matter *what* I try to install, I get this same answer : E: Unable to locate package xterm
So I research, and it seems like I'm lacking in repositories. Here's my sources.list. I made a backup. I'm having to *type* everything in, on this computer, until I can get a browser working on the linux machine. So if there are typos I have ethernet cable hookup. I know from past experience sometimes this broadcom wireless card can be a problem. For now, I just want *anything* to work, and get some kind of hookup, so I can finish installing. I've reinstalled 3 times, with iso...
Here's my sources.list. Until I hear from one of you'all, I'm gonna look for a better one, and then vi edit it in here...
I have a problem accessing repositories behind my proxy. Another problem, I have no access for that installation right now, but I do remember what I did.
First, this is fresh install Fedora 13 with KDE. I manually added IP, subnet mask, DNS, to network manager. Then, manually added proxy settings to SystemSettings/ NetworkSettings/ Proxy. After that,
Also, in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repos and i686.repos (I mean, Core repositories and Standard one) I commented out "fedora" address line, and uncommented "mirror".
Now I can, for example, yum install wine, but yum install unrar fails totally (not found), and yum install mc (midnight commander) shows error, where I can copy address or rpm, and make localinstall then.
I am running Postfix 2.6.1 on Suse 11.2, and am receiving an error message on my windows machine saying "Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied." If I login to my email on the local machine or via squirrelmail I have no problem sending mail. The output of postconf -n is as follows:
server:~ # postconf -n alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases biff = no
If you attempt to install VLC by simply adding the VideoLAN repository to YAST, the version that's installed won't have audio.Follow the Zypper instructions on the VideoLAN website (bottom of the page)VideoLAN - VLC media player for openSUSE Be sure to specify 11.3 as described, and VLC will install fine.
Trying to use Yast2, and it gives errors: " can't access installation media [url] " and this is with all the repositories that used to work fine. Not sure what it could be? I tried to use a mirror, and I got the same results.
Does Yast2 use a port other than port 80 to connect to the repositories? I have not updated the firewall since using Yast last. Have the repository servers been updated since the release of 11.3, to make some editing of the repositories in Yast necessary?
About 7 years ago I setup a Redhat system with 8 serial terminals and 8 serial printers, this is still running but I need to get another system running so the original can be taken down for maintenance. The printers are ancient Newbury data dot matrix wide carriage with 7 data bits receive 8 data bits transmit Xon/Xoff flow control. Now I remember setting the transmit and receive data bits as above but after 7 years can't remember where.
I tried to install ns2.27 on my Ubuntu 9.10 64-bits version. I downloaded the gcc-3.3...amd64.deb instead of the one you recommend. When installing the debian files, I get this at the terminal
[Code]....
I don't see any errors but the file is not installed (I think) because when I go to synaptic they are not there. And trying to proceed with the ns2 installation results in error since I don't have the gcc3.3
I've tried to install FEdora 15 using the Fedora 15 DVD for i686 architecture. However, after the step where I chose the setup for GRUB boot options, I got this error: "Some of your repositories require network access but networking could not be setup" (or something similar). Then I only had the option to exit the installer, but after reboot there was no GRUB and I have no means even to boot back to Windows.
How to install Fedora without networking or is Fedora the only distro so messed up that this can't be done? I've tried the Live CD/USB version but that version has no C compiler to allow me to install networking drivers after install completes. Now I was told to try the full DVD, by the full DVD managed to mess up my computer completely.
