Ubuntu :: Run Apt-get Install -f In A Terminal After Unchecking 3rd Party Updates?
Feb 16, 2011
I ve got updates ready to install but halfway through downloading I get a message saying it couldnt get a password or something. So I enabled unsupported updates, but it still did it.
So then I disabled them again and it said I had a broken package (ia32-libs) and to run apt-get install -f in a terminal after unchecking 3rd party updates, so I unchecked 3rd party updates, but when I type in a terminal it says permission denied and asks if I m root.
It would normally ask for a password in the terminal to root me, dont know how to do it any other way.
I installed wine in the new Ubuntu 11, but when i right click and go open with wine it says that its not marked as executable! then i went right click and properties and under the permissions i clicked "Allow executing file" but it keeps unchecking!
just installed Fedora 15 and was just wondering....
I want to install the 3rd party repos... I found these........
[url] [url]
But for 15... would I install the rawhide one for rpmfusion? cause the other options are for older Fedora's.... or is there an updated rpmfusion etc for Fedora 15 that hasn't arrived yet? How does it work in this regards so I can have up to date 3rd party packages etc?
I'm trying to install a third party development package for the TI DM355 platform. The build script for this tests for the mono package which must have been available in a previous release of Ubuntu but has been deprecated in version 10. Which package provides mono support and how can I touch the package database to make it look like mono is installed so the ./configure script will be happy?
For some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.
I am more a 'terminal-apt-get-fan' then an 'update-manager-fan'. The only thing I don't know how to do, is get a list of proposed updates after sudo apt-get-update, like the update manager shows me after I pressed the "check" button. Now I bet there is a way, I just can't find it.
I want to have a terminal open and have something like a "repeating cat" command running in it for a certain text file (in particular /var/log/system.log). So my terminal will scan or cat the text file every so often or whenever the text file system.log gets written to by the system, it will display whatever it wrote to the file in my terminal that is open.
Since I've installed opensuse 11.4 instead of 11.3, I cannot install .rpm packages nor execute updates. I get the following message: "There has been a (probably temporarily) when connecting to the software source/repository" (own translation) details: Media source [URL] does not contain the desired medium So, probably there is something wrong with my software sources. Could anyone give a suggestion to repair this since I'm not a linux expert and would like to install new software on my newly updated machine.
Links from third party applications do not work any more. When I go to click on links from PDF,s or from Pino or KeePass nothing happens. I've tested different browsers Opera, Chrome, Midori etc same thing links just don't work from third party apps.
I recently installed Windows Bookshelf through Wine and although the Bookshelf Icon appears in Applications, I cannot drag and drop it onto the new Unity Launch Bar in Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal). Is there a way of adding Icon's of this nature to the Unity Launch Bar?
i'm trying to install my updates through install/remove software in gnome opensuse, but when I click apply everything just disappears, can I install them some other way?
I normally add RPMFORGE / DAG to my RHEL 5 machines however I have a server and I can't remember if I added the repository to the machine so I was wondering how someone can check on the server if I have added this in the past. I know that in Debian / Ubuntu, I am able to cat /etc/apt/source.list and see the repository listed.
Things I have tried so far:Followed tutorials found here at [url] and [url] None of which worked.
Some output from what appears to be a valid connection: I have run sdptool browse and found my device I have used hcitool scan and found my device I have done a cat of /dev/rfcomm0 and seen data streaming I have seen a process id for gpsd as well as seen a listneing port for gpsd I have been unable to get either gpsdrive / xgps / tangogps to see gpsd. All report it as not running.
I need to install some packages, but it fails because I previously installed gnome-shell testing, and now have the ricotz ppa packages conflicting with the default packages. See error below.
Code:
libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (=2.20.1-0ubuntu2) but 2.20.1-0ubuntu3~10.04~ricotz2 is to be installed Depends: libpango1.0-dev but it is not going to be installed Depends: libatk1.0-dev but it is not going to be installed
How do I remove these packages and re-install the default ones, without risking damage to my system?
UPDATE: I have now tried to remove this packages using ppa-purge and the new ubuntu tweaks, but for the life of me I cannot get rid of them.
I am looking to upgrade a box of mine using command line only. I am going from 10.04 to 10.10 and have changed all instances of lucid to maverick within the sources.list file but now I don't want to continue until I can be safe to upgrade by disabling the third-party repos. How can I disable these using the command line? Should I just move the sources.list.d folder? Any other ways I'm missing?
every time i install ubuntu i have to add official ppas of many softwares like transmission, libreoffice. vlc, deluge and many other softwares i use. is there any script or software that will allow me to create my own list and set up the ppas when i run it?
I've just installed 11.2 Gnome 64 bit and after applying the updates and when it gets to finding server it says all are too slow and I get this Error 5:Connection too slow... no server available, aborting. I hit ok and it disappears.
I installed a LAMP server using RHEL 5.5 but we needed a higher version of php than was available in RHEL Yum repositories. I think at the time I installed Dag Wieers and got a 3rd party package. My question is the following:
1. How do I remove the 3rd party packages? 2. How do I remove Dag Wieers from my Yum repo list? 3. Anything else I need to know to get all 3rd party packages off?
I just learned that warsow 0.6 is out, and went to see if it was available in the ubuntu software center yet, as opposed to going and downloading and installing it manually from the warsow website. The ubuntu repo's still have version 0.5, and at the bottom of the page it says:
"Updates: Canonical does not provide updates for Warsow. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."
So if I wanted to 'update' this item in the repo's for the better of the community what would that entail?
I have searched on the internet but didn't manage to find out how to flag 3rd party repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/50unattended-upgrades. It installs all updates from the stock Ubuntu repos but none from 3rd party repositories I later added (e.g. Chromium PPA, Skype, etc.). I understand I have to manually add the lines but I'm not sure what's the format for this. How to do this? Here's how my 50unattended-upgrades file looks like:
Code: // Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin, archive) pairs Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins { "Ubuntu karmic-security"; "Ubuntu karmic-updates"; };
// List of packages to not update Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist { //"vim"; //"libc6"; //"libc6-dev"; //"libc6-i686"; };
// Send email to this address for problems or packages upgrades. If empty or unset then no email is sent, make sure that you have a working mail setup on your system. The package 'mailx' must be installed or anything that provides /usr/bin/mail. //Unattended-Upgrade::Mail "root@localhost"; // Automatically reboot *WITHOUT CONFIRMATION* if a // the file /var/run/reboot-required is found after the upgrade //Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "false";
I just tried adding the same repository to my desktop pc as well separate install separate machine same error, while checking software sources in gnome nothing seems out of the ordinary. My desktop was updated today via the update manager.
I upgraded to 11.04, and in the process it said third-party software sources needed to be disabled.Now, when I go into Software Sources nothing happens (the form doesn't open up)Is there a command line prompt to enable third-party sources? I think this might be why my keyboard/mouse aren't working.
As I'm interested in user-behaviour-information-security I would like to know what I�ll have to turn off or to uninstall to make the ubuntu-pc-usage as anonymous as possible (no musicbrainz, cddb, or alike).I want ubuntu not to send any data to third-party-users.
how to install the updates in ubuntu, i have got all the packages separately how should i install them, and i use de cmd apt-get install nmap but it didnt worked
I'm trying to setup OpenVPN to use a third party CA, and its unclear to me how to use the serial and index.txt files that are created when one uses the easy-rsa scripts to setup OpenVPN. If i'm using my own CA can I ignore those? Its also unclear to me how OpenVPN figures out the server.key passphrase. I'd also like to leverage the --tls-verify cmd directive but I am unsure of where to specify it.
What I would like to do is have --tls-verify call a perl script that then verifies that the CN of the certificate the client is passing in matches a cn in an LDAP group. I figure I can do the LDAP group lookup with some easy perl stuff, its unclear to me though if --tls-verify is going to pass in the RDN of the client cert.
I am using SBOpkg, but for the ~30 3rd party packages I have most of the slackbuilds are already out of date, and I don't expect they will be updated when security issues or whatever arise.
So is the only solution to subscribe to the individual mailing list for each piece of software, or is there a more automatic way?
I got about 30 bucks worth of iTunes giftcards I'd like to redeem, but Apple doesn't have iTunes support for linux. I installed it via wine, but I can't get the itunes store to open up. I've been trying for several hours to get a workaround, with no success, as follows:
1) iTunes on Wine (didn't work, like I said) 2) Sharp Musique (old thread, all the links were broken and it's not in my Synaptics repos) 3) Banshee iTunes Store extension*****
This last one with Banshee seems promising, but I'm getting nowhere. I've downloaded the third-party extension, installed the .deb, and followed the directions on the banshee webpage. Still, when I go under Edit>>>Preferences>>>Extensions, it doesn't show up. I found the install called "iTunesMusicStore.dll" in /usr/lib/banshee/Banshee.Plugins, and I've moved it to ~/.config/banshee-1/addin-db-001/addin-data, but it still won't show up in the plugins.
