My ISP is blocking medibuntu.org so that hasn't been updated on my machines since the end of April. I can still access it via proxy sites so is it possible to download certain files and place them on the right spots in my Ubuntu installation and have it tell me if something is out of date or not?

Others are ignored too, but ppa.launchpad.net is the only one I care about. I've tried a few different mirrors with the same result. I'm able to ping ppa.launchpad.net just fine, and am not experiencing any other network weirdness.
I recently converted my old laptop to Ubuntu a couple days ago and I'm loving it! This is my first post, but I've been reading the Ubuntu forums which have been helpful for tweaking little things and I'd say I've graduated from "absolute" Ubuntu/Linux noob to "almost total" noob in the last couple days (at least I know what the terminal is now!). On my regular PC, I'm a big fan of the Google Chrome browser, but for my Ubuntu machine, I was hoping to stay as true to the open source theme as possible, so while I do have Chrome installed too, I'd love to use Chromium as my primary browser.
The one drawback for me with Chromium vs. Chrome is that there are not automatic updates, but I wasn't able to find a clear, noob-friendly walk-through to set up a means to regularly update Chromium manually (either using the terminal or using the GUI). From what I understand, it would involve finding and installing Chromium build repositories, then checking and updating from those periodically.
The problem is that I don't really know how to go about doing any of this. How exactly does one add repositories? After they're added, how does one update from the Chromium builds located there? Are there any Chromium repositories for relatively stable builds versus the uber-newest test builds?
Am I completely off track and there's an easier way to set up a means to update Chromium?

I noticed a red triangle at the top right of my screen today and I've been trying to sort out the problem. is says "update information is outdated" I used the update like it suggested but get this error msg. I'm new to ubuntu/linux so explain in simple terms: "Could not download all repository indexes. The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct. [URL].. 404 Not Found Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."

Some while ago I decided to add Firefox repository directly through terminal. (Idea born when I saw in one old page (yes, never look for info in old pages ) "tutorial" how to do it.) The whole idea was simple: just add one line in terminal.The line was like this:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stableBut since that, when I try to update through update manager I get errors:Quote:

I have a directory in the /var/www folder. I have access to this directory from my windows machine through samba.
Everytime i add new files to the folder where the webpage is locate i need to go to my centos server a type chmod -R 777 /var/www/name
It can't be right that i need to do this everytime i add new files to the folder??
If i dont run this command i can't access this files when I access the webpage throug a browser...
UPDATE: I think It has something to do with the samba user, because if i create the files as root directly on the centos server i dont got the problem ... ?
Is there a method or way to "update" Vim's syntax highlighter manually? I appear to have a very updated version of Vim on both Debian & Arch Linux but I notice that on both servers on the identical configuration file for Postfix MTA (main.cf) I have a parameter that shows up in 'white' which usually means 1 or 2 things:
1. I have a typo somewhere in my parameter.
2. The parameter is not recognized by Postfix and useless
However in this case it is neither of the two above however it stands out in the configuration file because it's not in color. It's the only one that is white text. I verified the command / parameter is valid: Link
The parameter is:
Code:
smtpd_tls_security_level = may
Is there a way to update Vim to highlight the " smtpd_tls_security_level" parameter in the configuration file when opened with Vim? Do I need to update the syntax highlighter for this to have the desired effect? I know this issue is purely cosmetic but as an administrator I find it annoyong to have to waste time and research if a configuration parameter is valid or not. I rely on Vim's color syntax highlighting to tell me when I make a overlooked mistake. I do know that Postfix is happy with the current configuration as I can see it being executed in the program:
Code:
postconf -n | grep "smtpd_tls_security_level"
smtpd_tls_security_level = may

I can't access fedora.project.org any more!
All other web access runs fine as usual.
I am creating custom install media using the Fedora Core 14 DVD as a base and I have gathered all of the packages and their dependencies I require using the yumdownloader command.I made sure to download the @core group along with the ones listed above. The problem I'm running into is that I don't know how to update the media's repo information to reflect some of the updated packages I have downloaded. So when I go to install on the device, it's saying it can't read/open a certain package and you can see that it's looking for an older version because I'm guessing its repo is telling anaconda that this is the specific version to look for. I'm looking for a way to "update" the repo found on the installation media.

[code]....
i'm attempting to know and understand fedora more and i will spend probably the next month pouring through all the forums and documents to answer more of my own questions. but there's quite a bit here, so i'd thought i'd ask some noob questions to get me started a little.
ive installed fedora 14 64bit and chosen only kde as the desktop. i selected an extra 2 repos besides the default, fedora 14 -x86_64 and fedora 14-x86_64 -updates. i believe this kernel is installed: 2.6.35.11-83
1. i can only see the 2 extra repo's as being "checked" in kpackagekit, shouldn't i see the default repo also ?
2. i dont have an applet in the system tray indicating the system is up to date, does fedora have this by default ? also after a clean install i ran yum check-update and yum update but the message sayes: "no packages marked for update". i'm not sure if the system is auto-updated during install or not, but with other distros iv tried there is always atleast a few updates needing to be done after install.
3. is kpackagekit the fedora gui package manager ? i dont see any others.
4. i want to upgrade to nvidia drivers, but i think i am missing a non-free repo or something. when i enter: yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64 i get messages stating "no package" i get the same message with yum install nvidia-settings.i also tried this: LANG=C yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-nonfree info akmod-nvidia but it sayes repo not found.

Just checking to be sure. 5.3>5.4 update went without a hitch:) But a message ran about (/etc/yum.repo.d) CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew. Comparing CentOS-Base.repo with the new one show the 1st has the correct priorities and .rpmnew does not have the correct priorities. Should I remove the *.rpmnew repo after making sure it otherwise is the same as the original CentOS-Base.repo?
View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to update my system online (for example my firefox 3.0 to 3.5) but i can't figure out how this possibly works. I tried the "online update" using Yast2 but apparently (according to Yast) there is nothing at all to be patched on my system. I tried to click on the Firefox-3.5.5 rpm in the repository web-interface and open it using "install software" but the process aborts because of unresolved dependencies. Is there an easy way to update software without having to download/install every dependency manually?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOccasionally a dialog pops up with the title "Update Manager". It offers me to update system components. However this popup occurs automatically. I wonder how I can call/start this "Upate manager" (dialog)manually? I found no menu entry. When I click on menu Application->Add/remove Software then a "Package Manager" is shown which is different from the "Update Manager". So again the question: How can I start manually (from terminal or menu) the "Update Manager"?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wasn't paying proper attention when adding a repo to yast and need to find the file were the info is saved to delete this. The problem is that whenever i use yast it comes up with an error code saying that it can't find the data for the 'problem' repo. Have tried zypper rm but that comes up with a similar error advising that the data is in a format that was not expected. My thinking is to track the file were the yast repo source details are saved, delete this and then just add the repos that i use back.

I have a fedora 11 with kernel package: kernel-PAE-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i686
I would like to install the devel package for this kernel version, but I can't find it, because in the fedora repo there is only the original kernel (2.6.29.4....) and in the updates repo there is only the newest kernel package (2.6.30....)
Where can I find the packages which are between the fedora and update repos' versions?
I am using Fedora 13 and I have one program (wine) that I need to start grabbing for the updates-testing repo instead of the default repositories in order to get newer versions. I think I can figure out how to add that repository, but I need to know if there are any others I need to disable or any other changes I need to make to my system so that I don't confuse my set up with conflicting updates.
Also, is there anything special I need to do to be sure that only that one program is grabbed from the testing repo when I run regular updates?
I entered a PPA though the terminal earlier to install Firefox 4. I spelled part of the repo wrong, and now it is causing some problems. How do I remove the repo. I know how I spelled it, I just need the command to remove it!
