Ubuntu :: Updates With Tweak And Video Codec - Error "dpkg Was Interrupted, You Must Manually Run 'sudo Dpkg --configure -a' To Correct The Problem"

May 26, 2011

I installed the software Ubuntu Tweak yesterday and I was satisfied of how it worked. today, surfing the internet I was hoping to find a solution to a couple of problems that I have: the computer sometimes get stuck when opening videos or photos - I can't see streaming TV. when the internet browser was asking me to install plug-in in order to show the videos I tried to install them but errors occurred.

so I followed the instruction in [URL] (many of these things didn't work and the terminal was showing error messages...) now after rebooting I have got the unity 2D I think (which is fine as I can't notice great differences) but I can't install the updates from Ubuntu Tweak the error message is: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. how can I fix it and get my video codecds?

Ubuntu Installation :: 'sudo Dpkg --configure -a' Freezes And Does Nothing For A Long Time?

Sep 21, 2010

I'm trying to fix a friends EeePC notebook (Asus) running a recently upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 from Karmic Koala. She used the update manager for the upgrade to 10.04 LTS and everything was fine until she had tried to install something from the Ubuntu Software Center (she doesn't remember what happened). After that, both Update manager and Synaptic stopped working.Update manager gives the following error:Quote:Software index is broken. ... Try to use synaptic for something?!...

Then Synaptic manager gives the following error:Quote:E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.And when I try that command, the terminal just keeps blinking with the cursor and does nothing for more than an hour. This is the output of the comand:Quote:

jasna@Jasna:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[sudo] password for jasna:
Setting up moodle (1.9.4.dfsg-0ubuntu4) ...

Software :: Broken Dependencies Using Sudo Dpkg -?

Jan 17, 2011

I have a fairly old debian distribution running on the linux Kernel 2.6.18-4-686 and I did something silly which has broken multiple packages. I use the manual package installation command (sudo dpkg -i filename.deb) to install a single package (gcc base) however I did this using the latest version of the package which seems to have broken my GCC package completely and I am unable to compile c++ anymore.

When I now load the Synaptic Package Manager it tells me that I have 10 broken packages and when I use the fix feature it tells me I need to update other packages to fix the depencies (it selects almost every single package on my system to be removed at this point!).

I cant change the system too much because the software packages are set up specifically to run a certain application and I don't want to change anything incase I make it stop working!

So my question is this:

If I go to the synaptic Package Manager and uninstall the broken packages (they are all gcc related), will I be able to use the aptitude command to install GCC again? If so will it automatically install the version of GCC that will work with my system? or will it try and install the latest version and then update the rest of my system?

Ubuntu :: Sudo Aptitude Install USplash - DPKG Interrupted

Jan 2, 2010

I was installing something, usplash, I think it was...
I ran $ sudo aptitude install usplash
and after it asked me if I wanted to install some aditional packages, it returned this:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I have seen this error before. I just ran the command
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
And it returned this:
Setting up initramfs-tools (0.92bubuntu29) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28.10-some-string-here
Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.28.10-some-string-here
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28.10-some-string-here
dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I did an:
$ aptitude search initramfs-tools
and I noticed that it had a "C" next to it. I think this has something to do with the package not being configured correctly or at all. Also looks like it is trying to generate an initd, but missing something. That kernel name looks kinda funky, though...

Ubuntu Installation :: Dpkg --configure -a Gives Parse Error?

Sep 3, 2010

I killed a stalled apt-get safe-upgrade, which left lock-files on my system. I followed this guide to clean it up:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...highlight=lock

and have done the following:

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo rm -r /tmp/*
now, when I try:
sudo dpkg --configure -a

i get: dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0006' near line 0: newline in field name `#padding'

the file var/lib/dpkg/updates/0006 contains nothing but lines of '#padding'

Ubuntu :: Sudo Xorg -configure" And "sudo Xorg --configure" Both Return "xorg Command Not Found

Mar 28, 2011

Alright setting up a friends netbook, display has been a little iffy (slow. glxgears is giving like 100fps). Couple issues: xorg.conf doesn't exist (i know thats typically not an issue) and "sudo xorg -configure" and "sudo xorg --configure" both return "xorg command not found."

glxinfo say that its using Mesa for the software rasterizer and that the driver is from mesa. lspci says the VGA controller is from Intel. I'm thinking xorg is defaulting to vesa for drivers, but I need to know how to change that to the open source intel driver

Debian Installation :: Dpkg-scanpackages Fails When Package Limit Exceeded

Nov 2, 2015

After receiving no response either here or on IRC, I copied 80 package files to a temporary directory and ran dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null > Packages with the expected result. The curious part is the delay when output redirection is not used: nothing appears until the script completes, when the result is dumped to the screen. It therefore appears that there is an upper limit to the number of packages that the script can handle, somewhere between 80 and 42,474.

Is this an undocumented feature, or just a peculiarity of my system?

I'm new to Debian and wanting to set up a local repository on my work drive. After following instructions online and copying all packages (~43,000) from the DVD set into /work/Debian/8.2/packages/ I ran dpkg-scan-packages as instructed:

Code: Select all# dpkg-scan-packages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz

This produced an empty file. I then ran dpkg-scanpackages with no output redirection expecting to see a flood of text on the screen, but all I got were error messages suggesting that it can see the .deb packages but is not parsing them:

Code: Select allroot@qbx:~# dpkg-scanpackages /work/Debian/8.2/packages
dpkg-deb: error: invalid character ' ' in archive '/work/Debian/8.2/packages/libshhopt1_1.1.7-3_i386.deb' member 'debian-binary' size
dpkg-scanpackages: error: couldn't parse control information from /work/Debian/8.2/packages/libshhopt1_1.1.7-3_i386.deb

[Code] ....

This all seems in accord with the man page, and it's so simple I'm wondering what I'm missing.

Ubuntu :: Sudo-apt Get Not Working - Not Get Lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock Resource Temporarily Unavailable

Jun 12, 2011

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on an old Sony Vaio laptop. I was following some of the steps here..[url]

The step "Enable Full DVD Playback(Dual Layer DVD Support)" did not finish correctly doh and now I can't use 'sudo apt-get' for anything or the software center or using the 'Update Manager' does not work.

The update manger says it may be caused by an update not finishing correctly which sounds correct as explained above. The apt-get command gives me back the following....'Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock resource temporarily unavailable' 'unable to lock administration directory /var/lib/dpkg is another process using it?'

I tried the obvious restart but that hasn't worked.

Ubuntu Servers :: Sudo Apt-Get Install Fails (Size Mismatch)

Dec 10, 2010

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop fails and has been failing for the last two days, I installed both the lto and the 10.10 newest, starts out OK and runs for about 5 minutes then finishes with many 'failed to fetch [URL] size mismatch issues. This is the first one after many installs over the last two years. Is there something going on with the US servers? On closer examination of running sudo apt-get update it seems to be fine till it hits the pool directory on the server, lucid main and lucid-updates are fine, breaks when it goes past those.

Security :: Defaults For Sudo - Permission Denied And Script Fails

Mar 18, 2010

I have a CGI script that when called runs another script as a different user. Yet when the script does run I keep getting a permission denied in the logs and the script fails

In the sudoers file-
Defaults env_reset
www-data ALL=(charly) NOPASSWD=ALL

For the full question-
When looking at /etc/sudoers there is the defaults line that you can add things to. When doing a sudo -L so that I can see what I can put on that defaults line. Can an individual user have specific defaults? Ones that don't effect the rest of the people in /etc/sudoers?

Ubuntu Installation :: RT Kernel & Configure LILO: $sudo Liloconfig As Well As Fstab

Feb 16, 2011

I wanted to give Ubuntu Studio a try, for music production purpose, as a musician and composer-writer. So I started with a Ubuntu 10.10 generic install then processed with the installation of Ubuntu Studio packages, including RT kernel at last. Everything ran smoothly until I installed this RT kernel...The problem appears to be LILO and its config, as well as fstab. I fear all of this is far above my abilities, this is why I submit my problem to the community. Here's what I've discovered when trying to configure LILO: $ sudo liloconfig

Ubuntu Installation :: Configure Fails But Library Not Missing

Nov 4, 2010

I'm trying to install gazebo but I would like the general solution. When I type "./configure" I get the error: "could not find gdal_priv.h" or sometimes "could not find gdal library" But I have it on my computer. It is: usr/include/gdal/gdal_priv.h This means configure is not looking in the right place for this library. Where is the path stored, please? I tried reading the configure file but I could not find it. I tried to replace all instances of gdal_priv.h by gdal/gdal_priv.h but this did not work either. I tried adding /usr/include/gdal to all the env PATH_something_or_other I could see. how to tell to ./configure where to look for libraries. What file(s) should I edit? (I tried config.status, because it contains /usr/include stuff). The files I have are:
