I have ubuntu 10.04, and I downloaded the kde package, because I wanted to see if I liked it. It then changed the login screen to something completely different, and since I never bothered to learn my username, I can't login. Is there something I can do?

View 5 Replies View RelatedHere at home I have several Ubuntu installations, mine, the kids computers and a couple of laptops. What I'm looking for is a solution or a pointer in the right direction to setup on our local Ubuntu server a sort of cache. Each day each Ubuntu on the network, checks for updates and downloads, and installs. What I'm looking for is a way for one machine to download the update and then the others to download from the local resource.
A sort of local cache to try and minimise everyone downloading straight from the net for pretty much the same updates. I did a emerge cache many years ago when I was using Gentoo, so I'm wondering what I can use/do here with Ubuntu as we are all loving this distro now.
can we use recursive download of wget to download all the wallpapers on a web page?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI haved tried 3 times to download DVD-7 from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...md64/jigdo-dvd, and every time it has failed with just 5 files left to download.
It says:
I cannot begin to describe. All those hours of downloading for nothing! What the heck is happening here? When I try to just continue on, I get error code 3 aborts and have to just start all over.
First I go to the following URL to download the latest version of VLC Player, which I greatly prefer to Totem or any other standard Linux video/audio player: http://www.fileguru.com/Movie-Player/download. After I click on the "Download" link, a new window appears which asks me if I want to 1) Open with Archive Manager (default) or 2) Save File. There is a drop down arrow next to the first choice which only gives "Other..." as the only other choice. Well, if I choose the first option, the download appears as an .exe file in the "Downloads" window.
A window with "Download Error" in its Title Bar appears with the following message in it: "/tmp/VLC_Player_Setup-3.exe could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." I don't even know yet how to even open up an .exe file in Linux, despite repeated research.
In both my updater applet and in YAST, I keep getting the error that:
download failed:
download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2/repodata/repomd.xml
I've been getting this error when trying to upgrade packages with slapt-get:
Failed to download: Incomplete download
Not sure what's going on. I tried to use --clean and tried to use a different mirror, but still getting the error.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and i went on a website and was required to download the newest flash player, i started the download. in the middle of the download i lost my connection to the internet and the download froze, i reconnected it and it didn't continue (not that i expected it to) so i tried to close it but it wouldn't, i tried everything i could, it just wouldn't close, it was frozen like that, so i decided all i can do is restart my comp. after i restarted my computer no downloads work anymore. i tried redownload flash and this is the error i got:E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the probelmE:_cache->open() failed, please report.
i tried running Sudo dpkg --configure -a but it only read sudo, so after that i tried it without the sudo, so just dpkg --configure -a and this is the response i got:requested operation requires superuser privilegeso i don't know what to do now. i get the exact same error when i try to download ubuntu updates as when i try to download flash.another downloading problem that i have is when i try to download something from Ubuntu software center the download progress bar shows up and under the downlaod name it says "waiting for other software managers to quit" and the progress stays at 0%, no matter how long you wait it stays that way, it's like that with anything i try to download from Ubuntu software Center andrestarting my comp dosen't help at all.
Where do you go to download the 64 bit version on Ubuntu 9.10 All I can find is the link to download the 32 bit version.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 karmic using the .iso file from the official website (burned to a CD) but I have a problem... When I boot into Ubuntu, no drivers are listed for my wireless network (as a matter of fact none are listed when according to the hardware devices ). The thing is...
When I use the CD and select "try without changes to computer", Ubuntu detects my proprietary drivers (Broadcom 802.11g network adapter & Broadcom 440x10/100 integrated controller) and allows me to install it (and then restart).
So my question is, how can I install the proprietary driver to work on Ubuntu (perhaps saving the driver using the CD and allowing the settings to be saved on boot)?
P.S., I can only access internet from Vista & using the installation option 'try without changes to computer' from the CD.
I gave away both of my copies of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala to friends to turn them onto the Power of the Penguin. Now here I sit with a fresh install of 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx and I still have problems. They're different problems then when I did the upgrade through Update Manager, but problems non the less.
Is there any place where I can get a clean download of 9.10 Karmic Koala? I just need to reassure myself that I'm not crazy and that it is not my machine causing the problems.
I have a problem to download a VLC program . What is the solution ??
