Ubuntu :: Keep Getting SystemError: InstallArchives() Failed On Almost Every Application?
Oct 22, 2010
I know this has been discussed a lot, but my problem is that i get this error on almost every application, not only broadcom drivers, but also virtualbox, skype and many other applications that it made me think that all of this because of a common problem, i always get the the same message:Code:SystemError: installArchives() failedActually this may force me to return to Lucid release (10.04),

I've been having an issue ever since I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10. It won't connect to my network for some reason. I enter the WEP key and all the other info, but it fails to connect. I tried to install the Broadcom STA Driver under Additional Drivers but then I get an error message saying SystemError: installArchives()failed.

I can't get my fglrx drivers activated, every time I try I get an error message. I first tried going into System-->Administration-->Additional Drivers and activating it their but I get this error message: SystemError: installArchives() failed. I tried using some jockey command (my apologies as I can't quite remember the command) and I got the same error message. I was searching around on google and I someone said to type Code: aticonfig --initial Into a terminal and now my computer is running really slowly and I can't get it to run like normal. My windows scroll down in increments, when I try to move a window it jumps around, I can't handle how slowly this thing is going.

When I download the drivers for my Broadcom card (BCM-4312), I get this error message:
Quote:
SystemError: installArchives() failed
Is there any way to fix it, or should I post to launchpad about a bug? I have 10.10. Update: When I install from the Ubuntu Software Center, it completes successfully, but I get this error message: installArchives() failed: Selecting previously deselected package glines.

I just installed Lucid off an official CD onto a Dell Inspiron 1521 and the wireless doesn't work. It worked out of the box on 9.04, which is what I was most recently using. The wired connection does not work either. I'm not sure why. I'm aware that I probably need some sort of driver for my Broadcom card. I read that I could get the drivers off the cd, and I think I did it (although possibly not correctly.) I got what I think is the correct driver, bcmwl-kernel-source, and also something called fwcutter I think maybe by accident. They both show in the Hardware Drivers list, but when I try to activate them I get "System Error: installarchives() failed". I tried using:

However, the package itself succeeds with installation. Looks to me like it's a problem with a kernel I installed.

I accidentally deleted my bin just after booting up when the bin application failed to start properly. I can still send items to trash (right clicking and select from drop down menu) but I cannot restore them, see the bin icon or drag items to the bin area. It is quite annoying and I would be very grateful for comprehensive instructions on how to restore the bin to full operational functionality.

just installed ubuntu on my laptop (msi gt640) and, whilst attempting to install something from the software center, get an error. in full, it is: There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry.Under Details, it states:

So, I have this application called Impact, it is an explicit time integration Finite Elements code written in Java...
[url]
I untar the pack, and launch the application calling a script, from within the untarred folder,
Code:
This launches a gui which allows me to setup a case, which needs some setup file, tipically some *.in and a mesh file, tipically some *.msh.
Other mode of executuion consists of calling the setup file as argument to Impact.sh script ( CLI execution mode, for g33k5 )
My problem is : I have packed the whole stuff into a Slackware .tgz, that places it in /usr/local/Impact, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin,
Code:
Code:
I decided to hack the ImpactGUI_OGL_linux_amd64.sh script from
Code:
Code:
no avail,
Code:
even after adding /usr/local/Impact/bin to PATH... won't go...
I can run this thing from within its directory... but I do not like messing within the directories of my applications, this is why I sent this to /usr/local, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin...

I am trying to troubleshoot an application that is generating several segfaults with an error 14, but the application is not crashing.The program continues to run. I would assume I can connect to a running process to debug it, but I'm not sure what to gather. The program has several background processes associated with it so I'm sure I'll need to attach to the actual internal process. Does anyone have any experience in this to offer some insight?

I would like to get the predefined application icon to open the same file types.
for instance: *.avi, *.mp3 to have the VLC icon
and other application to have the icon of their default application.
So far I only found tips to install single icons or to add icon packs. :S
and is there any way to when you install an application make it default for such file types ?

I have configured the remote installation of Fedora 13 with kickstart with nfs installation method. All work ok until I boot the Fedora 13 client system.
Fed13 client system receives the IP address from dhcp, receives the loader, loads vmlinuz and initrd.img from tftp, load anaconda, configures the network and dev eth0, mounts nfs server to load kickstart file, loads kickstart file (language...) but when it tries to mount nfs server to install from Fedora 13 installation tree it fails.
First, I thought that I had an error on my NFS configuration but I was wrong. I opened tty with ALT+F4 on the Fedora 13 client and I sew this error:

Is this a bug or can I modify anything to correct this error? How?

I've read hundreds of threads on this problem but they seem to be intermittent and the resolution has been using a different kernel version.
I'm using the latest kernel but I still have this problem
