How would I remove a package in the selections listing in synaptic. Like remove it so no one will see it to install or remove it. Of make a custom filter be what it displayed by default in the selections list. Or set user privelages to not be able to install anything.? But still able to read and write to the hard drive.
View 2 RepliesI would like to tell apt, "hey, take packageA out of that list, cause I really need it, and I do not want to reinstall it out of fear it may mess up the configuration of that very same package".Anyone know what program and option I would use to accomplish such a task?(couldn't find anything interesting under the `apt-get` command.)

When i try to install packages via ..synaptic package manager , it pops with an error saying.. it cannot connect to the proxy "172.16.1.5:8080". Yes ,of course it should not be able to,as i am not in that vicinity anymore. I have changed the settings to direct connection in preferereces->network in the synaptic package manager secondly,changed the network proxy settings and applied it system wide. thirdly, I configured the /etc/apt/apt.conf file.. changed it to Acquire::http :: proxy "false"; But, nothing will work, still getting that error.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install wine1.3 but I don't want the (recommended) package ttf-mscorefonts-installer.In previous releases, I can run this to 'hold' the package and prevent it's installation:
Code:
echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections.However, this command doesn't prevent ttf-mscorefonts-installer from being installed along with wine1.3 in maverick.[code]....
it's just that dpkg isn't picking it up.What is going on here, and how can I place a package on permanent hold?
Note: I ended up installing wine1.3 by running:
Code:
sudo aptitude install wine1.3 ttf-mscorefonts-installer= but I don't believe that the package is actually on permanent hold.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a need for a complete software list off of an existing RHEL 5 system. I need this list to compare software installed to software on a government approved software list to ensure the compliance of this system. I was given an RPM Dump, listing all the 2000+ packages on the system... This does not translate to the Government Approved software list that I have to compare to. I do not have access to this system myself, so what ever method is prescribed for extracting the list I will have to pass along. What I need is either:
1) A way to convert an RPM Package dump to actual software names and versions, etc.
OR
2) A method to extract a complete list of software (titles/versions/etc) from an instance of RHEL5.
Example: Instead of knowing that "pango-devel-1.14.9-6.el5" exists on the system I need to know that "Pango v3.0.x" is installed on the system. Many packages do not relate on a one to one basis with a specific piece of software via inter-dependencies etc. (not to mention the version of the software, not the version of the package/library). The Pango example is not the best example as you can see what software is likely the source of this package; however just because this package is installed, I cannot grantee 100% that the Pango software suite is installed, just that this package was installed...
I installed 2.6.34 and no longer need 2.6.32-21. When I go into the package manager and mark it for removal...It looks like it tries to install 2.6.32-22 and 2.6.32-22 Generic and then upgrade Linux-headers-generic.

I am a relatively new user of Ubuntu and I have a question about Django 1.2 (and now we're up to 1.2.1). I currently have Django 1.1.1 installed via Synaptic.
-Generally, how long would it take for 1.2.1 to appear in a package that I can download via Synaptic?
-If I were to uninstall ver 1.1.1 and manually install ver 1.2.1, would it get installed in the same location that Synaptic installs it?
Got Karmic Koala up on running on my main computer and have been going through Beginning Ubuntu Linux, Fourth Edition. It was printed during Jaunty Jackalope, but it looks like its information applies to most areas.
However, it says I should be able to find msttcorefonts in the Synaptic Package Manage, and it's not there. I double checked Writer and Times New Roman and the other true type staples are not there, so it's not that it was installed with the boot disk.
Has the name of the package changed?
I am trying to get Ubuntu up and running on my Dell XPS 400 desktop. I verified the checksum of the iso (ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso) I downloaded, and I ran the cd check before installing. I also ran a memtest for 16 hours with no errors.
So I install Ubuntu, and everything seems ok. Now, I try to update my software packages, and the upgrade always fails after all the packages are downloaded (sometime during actual installation). So, I have to reboot, and the file system will not mount. I run fsck and reboot, and now I cannot even boot normally or to a shell... This has happened to me twice in row.
What is the best plan of attack when a package fails to install midway? I want to use Ubuntu, but this is making it pretty hard.

Ubuntu Software Center, Update Manager, Synaptic package Manager all are jammed and indicates the same error. Except these everything works perfectly.
I need some assistance on getting Synaptic Package Manager to start correctly. I can start it from the command line without any errors.
