View 3 RepliesI've lost the ability to Install or Un-Install Packages on my Advent 4213 Netbook running Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop Edition. I keep getting an error message saying Previous installation hasn't been completed
The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software.
every time I try to Install or Un-Install Packages using Ubuntu Software Centre. Is there a way to repair my Install without having to resort to doing a clean Re-Install?
after having used 9.10 KK for quite some time now, i got curious about the games.i notice that while i am trying to install some of them - Airstrike, ACM Serial Combat Simulator, 20.000 Light Years Into Space etc, i am not able to do so.i a message box saying the following " Requires Installation of untrusted packages.The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.can anyone please let me know who i can install such games ? and since there seems to be such a security threat how do i distinguish the 'bad' from the 'good' games.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor some time now I've put off installing Karmic as there seemed to be a bunch of complaints and issues right at the beginning (probably unfounded) and stuck to a nice and running 9.04.
Anyway over the weekend I had some problems. I won't go into them as it's along story and rather irrelevant now. The outcome was that I decided it was simpler to do a clean install so I backed up my files, downloaded and burnt a new Live CD for Karmic 9.10 and yesterday installed it. My first impressions are very good, I like it a lot!
The only thing I have a problem with is this. Under: Applications>Ubuntu Software Centre I seem unable to install or remove anything. By this I mean after selecting some application when I click on the Install or Remove button nothing happens apart from the slight flicker. Nothing...zilch! I can install using apt-get in terminal or using Synaptic just fine. My feeling is that its a "button" issue rather than with Software Centre...but who knows

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a rehearsal studio in which I play some serious brutal pwnage Heavy metal.And of course my fellow metal-heads need a computer so we can mix our music and such. So I build us a scrap PC and installed Linux Ubuntu 10.10. I know that these head banging friends of mine will eventually begin installing a lot of crappy software on it. So I made an Admin account for myself and a restricted one for them.
There might be times when they really need to install something in my absence, so I've decided to make an open Live CD for them to have, so they can have some of their own stuff on it. As you might know, when you boot on this CD you can choose between installing Linux Ubuntu or "trying it" What I want to do is that I want them to use the try- thingy so they wont erase the disk over and over. Of course I can just tell them not to install the actually operative. there's a way to disable the "Install" button in some config file or something Similar.

AT LEAST!because i think it is not normal to don't be able o install blender, remember ubuntu is a linux, then blender should work on.i tested to install many mounth ago, when i i stalled the last version (9.xxx), and it did the same, then i think it is not an update problem at all.

The advice is to add
[URL]
to the apt sources. (replacing cz as required for several other servers of choice). I tried this (using several different servers) from within Ubuntu Software Centre, but the usb_modeswitch never appeared. In fact (oddly) the source never appeared in the list! (Although I did have a look in the etc/apt/sources.list and it had added a line each time - there were several - I'd tried quite a few!!!) I did try downloading it but when it starts gdebi to install, a message pops up saying it is available (and better supported!) in a software channel.
I searched round a bit and found another reference to the package at
[URL]
This time the sources were totally different and the apt line recommended was
deb [URL]
When I add this it does add the line to the list of sources, but sadly I still cannot see usb_modeswitch after Software Centre has updated. In fact the number of packages available seems to go down from 2186 to 2179!
I suppose I could force the debian package to install, but I don't see why I can't get it to appear in Software Centre!
I should perhaps add that I have added other sources using the "apt sources" and that worked OK so I know I am doing the right thing.
