Whenever I try to check for updates, it will say updating cache, but then it will say Failed to download repository information Check your internet connection.
I'm connected to the internet fine, so I don't know what to do. Also, at the top right corner next to the power button on the top panel, there is a message thing saying "The update information is outdated"

Automatic updates fail because:
PackageKit Error cannot-remove-system-package: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package libpackagekit-glib12-0.5.1-3.7.i586 is not installed
Manually updating from yaST gives the same error. However, I cannot find the above packge available for installation. i found the following link in the "Yast2-ncurses broken?" thread, but it doesnt automatically install, and I am unsure whether it will work with ver 11.2:
Index of /pub/gnu/ncurses

I'm having a problem downloading and installing any updates. It compiles a list of updates, then tells me I need to install further updates and generates a list of those. Then it provides me with an error message. Info on which is in the code quote below. I'm very new to Linux, so I can't say I know how to go about sorting this issue. It's a PC with the following processor
Intel Pentium (R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00Ghz
Code:
Error Type: <class 'yum.Errors.RepoError'>
Error Value: Error getting repository data for installed, repository not found
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3125, in <module>

I appear to be unable to select individual updates for installation anymore from the Yast Online update screen. I use this to install updates manually on 11.1. But everytime I think I've chosen an update to install, all the updates listed get installed, and not just the one I've chosen. For example I just chose a "Fuse security update" to install and clicked the "Install" button. Nothing further happens until I click "Apply". Then all patches listed under the "All available" listing get applied. How do I just apply the patches that I want to ?

I am new to Ubuntu and need help. I have been using windows but now I want a change this is why I have also installed ubuntu 9.10 in my pc using wubi with win7. I like it a lot.
For now, I do not have internet connection and when I go to the software center it requires an internet connection for software installation.
Is is possible if I can download softwares for ubuntu from any computer and then install them onto my PC?

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.

1) I thought linux (or Ubuntu) would tell me somehow when there are new updates I need to install, like Windows does. But I never see any indication. I used this software name "Ubuntu Tweak" to check for update and found 32 new packages. Why wasn't I told about these? Did I accidentally turn something off and I need to turn it back on? Or do I have to configure something special?
2) How can I find out what features or bug fixes these updates provide. For example, one of the files was named "linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic". I'm guessing this is part of the core system. I would really like to know what changed in this and the other 31 updates.

Ubuntu 10.04 on Asus Eee/901. I am in Italy running through the college network proxy. I have defined the system-wide proxy and everything looks good. However none of the Linux software packages update (Synaptic, Ubuntu centre and for that matter, Thunderbird) they seem to ignore the Proxy and its required authentication - needless to say, I cannot update/download important packages/updates. System Proxy seems OK because Firefox is working but that's the only one.

I have a Rogers mobile Internet stick. When I plug it into a Windows laptop, it installs software that manages Internet. Would I be able to get Internet if I plugged it into my server running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS? What do I need to do to download Apache Web server onto my Ubuntu? I searched for Apache in Software Center but no results I'm not connected to the Internet so no packages updates so far.

I was quite pleased to see that Ubuntu 11.04 now loads and reads the contents of my iPhone 3GS.
(Once I connect the phone to my netbook, Shotwell and Banshee would recognize the cell-phone and give me options to manage my data.Alas, that joy has been very short-lived. As of the most recent updates, something appears to have 'broken' this functionality. [TODAY's DATE: Monday, 30 May, 2011],
Now when I connect the phone Nautilus fails to mount it, and I consistently get the same error message:
"DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error. NoReply:Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)"

I still feel as though I should be posting in Beginer Talk but was told that general help could work as well.I am currently using ubuntu jaunty jackalope and completely unfamiliar.I am unable to download updates due to their not being enough free disk space.The sudo apt-get clean and autoclean commands do not free up any space? I have tried tinkering with ubuntu tweak and add remove programs as well but nothing coming.

New to Ubuntu not to Unix. I am having issues with aptitude updates. Gives error unable to locate. When I look for the file manually I cannot find it either. It is looking for http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_US. Is there a site that list all mirrors that carry the updates? I would like to find manually and adjust source.list file.

A few weeks ago I did a WUBI 10.04 LTS install on a Windows XP desktop that went perfect. System ran great until this morning. I was prompted to install "Security Updates", which I allowed the system to do, but thereafter was unable to boot. What happens is at the point of selecting either Windows or Ubuntu for booting, and I choose Ubuntu, the computer goes right back into a re-boot process and brings me back to the Windows/Ubuntu boot selection prompt. It doesn't even bring me into the secondary boot level of asking which type of Ubuntu boot I want (generic, etc.). Is there a solution for this problem besides reinstalling Ubuntu?
