Ubuntu :: Software Center \ Only Install One Piece Of Software At A Time?
Apr 9, 2010
Really love Ubuntu and want to upgrade to lucid when it comes out (currently using jaunty) as i have heard nothing but good about it. My problem is i did try karmic but one big thing that put me off was the Ubuntu software center and the fact that i could only install one piece of software at a time. This is very annoying as i use a lot of software. When i reinstall a system i like to be able to choose everything i use, install, sit back and have it done in one go.

So, I usually write/find a test case generator for any code that I write. This type of code generally leads to some file output. To be thorough, I try and generate many different files to test my code on.
Say the command is like this:
Is there a way to automate this for many different values of the parameters and generate many different files?
I tried:
I wasn't able to use the $i in the filename, and without it the command gave me no errors, but did nothing else either. I know the Unix command line is very powerful, and I have a feeling that this should be possible, but I just don't know how to do it.

I am trying to create an usb install from an gnome-live cd. All I have done is not working:
dd
fedora liveusb-creator
fusbi
linuxlive usb creator
unetbootin
pendrive
All I can get are errors saying cang find kernel or error like that. I have used linux and windows environment. The iso I am using is fine, I am sure because I have instaled it on two pcs. Iso gnome-live >> usb (bootable to install)

If I rpm -U a .rpm file, and it starts spitting out "need this library" and that library etc., what do I do after that to get hold of those libraries and make the software work?Do I have to run ldconfig after getting those packages? Exactly what does ldconfig do?

I'm having issues getting apache to respond to requests outside of my local LAN. If I goto my server [URL].. it says connecting... but never finishes and returns anything. I'm using Ubuntu Server 10.10.
a) The DNS is working fine. It's pointed to my cable modem's IP and ping responds fine.
b) The apache server is setup and is working locally. In fact, if I use w3m and goto [URL]..I reach the test page perfectly. I can't figure out where the missing piece is to close this gap. Here are some config files to illustrate my setup:

Just installed Debian 5 Lenny on my PC and found myself in front of strange problem: 3/4 of my screen is filled by graphics on default, i mean 1/4 of screen is just GREY on logon screen, and then when GNOME starts i got the lower pannel on the bottom of 3/4 of screen, but suddenly i can take it and put it on the bottom, like it should be.
same stuff with maximizng the windows. when i maximize by just pressing one of those right-top buttons - it just fills 3/4 of screen. but if i maximize it by hands at first and THEN press the button - everything feels great.
something inside me says that i should post xorg.conf

We have the need to install an older Linux distribution (Suse 10) on a brand new laptop. The kernel that comes with Suse 10 doesn't have new enough drivers for the NIC and the drive controller. We've been able to find the source code for the NIC and build a working NIC kernel module however, we can not find the source code for the drive controller outside the kernel tree. Newer kernels see the drive fine; the controller is the Intel ATA_PIIX. Its included in the kernel, the hardware we have it just newer than the version in the old suse 10 kernel supports. I've crawled all over the intel site looking for the code outside the kernel source and have been unable to do so. Is it possible to lift the code from a newer kernel source tree? Is it available for download anywhere?
Edit: (from a comment below) SLED-10-SP2-x86 is the OS. The installation of these systems in an automated process, trying to change the process to include a VM (if we had the memory) or install a different base OS; while doable- can't be done in the time allowed. To get through process development, testing, UAT, staging and deployment takes much longer than the time we have. The old laptop had this same issue and the fix by my predecessor was building the NIC and drive modules by hand. We need to simply update those modules for this new laptop

Can someone recommend piece parts construct a reliable green server?
I am thinking:
-Case with hot swapable drives, and energy efficient power supply
-SSD harddrive for 5900 RPM drive
-low power CPU, but one with a decent amount of power, IE. 2.0ghz dual core or better.

I'm still a but confused about the standard way of removing it for left-associative operators: [URL] Especially about how to construct an AST from it by executing a peice of code for every nonterminal matched. And I'm still not totally convinced that it will be left-associative, I just barely understand it. Also, how would you remove left-recursion for something like this:
Code:
expr ::= expr "(" param_list ")"
| other stuff...?

Is it possible to configure Ubuntu to allow a user to only install from the software center and not gain any other admin privileges? I have enabled dpkg, apt-get and synaptic through visudo and I can install from there but the software center still prompts for my admin user's password. Just to be clear: it is not prompting me for the user's sudo password but for the password of the account that was created during installation.
I basically want to let users install anything they like through the package managers but not do any other root stuff (like sudo rm -rf /).

So apparently I've got a broken dependency and Ubuntu can't handle it itself. This is the error message I get when it fails to repair.
Unpacking dockmanager (from .../dockmanager_0.1.0~bzr83-0ubuntu1~10.10~dockers1_i386.deb) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:

How can I go about fixing this? I can't use the software center until the error is cleared.... :[

I can get update manager and some application from the software center to work, but several of them show a "no Internet connection" pop-up followed by "check your Internet connection". If it's any help some of the application that will not install, I tried first to install from playdeb. In addition, playdeb seemed to have issues when I tried to setup installation for it. I can't even get application to install from their website either.

I've just upgraded to 11.04 and loving it but, now I can't add any apps through Ubuntu Software Center. I select an app and then click Install. After that, I get this:
An unhandable error occured 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.
Then this window pops up:
System program problem detected Do you want to report the problem now?
Now, when I choose to report the problem, I get another window:
the program "aptd" closed unexpectedly. I tried to use
Code:
sudo apt-get upgrade
,and errors
Code:
javi@javi-Cpu:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

im trying to install compiz (ive tried synaptic, apt-get and software center). However, whenever i then go to system -> preference -> appearance ->effects and select anything other than none, it seems to turn of metacity and give me this "Your window manager does not support the show desktop button, or you are not running a window manager." then i click the "no i don't want to keep these settings" and it goes back. The windows have borders with the buttons again. also after installing ccsm i start it from system -> preferences and nothing happens. it just loads a while then stops.

I seem to have caused a problem with the software center in Ubuntu 10.10. When I pick out a piece of software and click 'install' I see it doing something (CPU goes up etc.), but the usual "fill in your password" window doesn't pop up and after say 10 secs the 'install' button in the software center returns to its normal state, i.e. as if I hadn't pressed it yet at all.
I am afraid this is related to a manual install (i.e. through apt-get in a terminal) I did some time ago (I was following an online tutorial to get DVD playback working properly) that probably went wrong (the installation process did get stuck at some point, when it hadn't progressed for a long time (>1 hour) I saw no other option than to quit the terminal). I don't remember exactly what packages I was trying to install though.
What would be the best way to get software center going again?

On some but not all of the apps listed on the Ubuntu Software Center, I can see the app and select it, but after I click the arrow that points right that should take me to the screen that describes it and allows me to install it is blank. The tabs at the top say that I am at the right window but nothing is there. Is there a way I can make that work?

Okay so I have now run into my first problem I cant seem to find a solution to.
I have downloaded a .deb file and discovered that you can run them through Ubuntu Software Center to avoid using the terminal. It seems to me that you can even do this if the program is not a part of the Software Center listed programs.
So this is what I did and it now says that my program has been installed.
