Kynaptic downloads programs but doesn't install

f1dave · 07-05-2005, 03:26 AM

yes, sorry bout that.

duff is right. just add them to the bottom of the file.

Toonses82 · 07-05-2005, 09:42 AM

So then I just enter this at command line?

Code:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://mirrors.uwa.edu.au/linux/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted universe multiverse

And so on? Sorry, I know nothing about command line. Thanks for the patience.

Toonses82 · 07-05-2005, 10:06 AM

Or do I just open the list itself somehow and just paste it in there?

duffmckagan · 07-05-2005, 10:14 AM

Ok. You don't need to edit the file from command line.
You can use Kwrite instead.

For launching kwrite, you can type this the command line.
Type this at the Konsole as a normal user.

Code:

kdesu kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list

Enter the root password, and append the repositories to this file.

I think that this should make it easy.

ingvildr · 07-05-2005, 10:35 AM

you can't apt-get supertux because you only have main and restricted not universe or multiverse enabled.

EDIT: haha didn't read the second page

f1dave · 07-05-2005, 10:49 AM

yes, just use sudo nano or sudo kwrite or whatever to edit the sources.list

Toonses82 · 07-05-2005, 09:06 PM

Welp, I think we've made progress. Good stuff. I added the repositories so here's my current source.list:

Code:

deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 5.04 _Hoary Hedgehog_ - Release i386 (20050407)]/ hoary main restricted


deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary main restricted

So it looks like I got further than before thanks to the extra repositories, but still couldn't bring home the victory. What do you guys think?

f1dave · 07-06-2005, 03:51 AM

Hmm. You've stumped me I'm afraid.

At this stage, this is where i'd start tinkering, reinstalling stuff, -f ing stuff, etc. But I don't really want to guide someone else into doing that. So I might just wait until some apt-expert gives me an idea before putting anything else in.

duffmckagan · 07-06-2005, 04:28 AM

I googled and found the Kubuntu Guide, which is almost similar to the Unofficial Ubuntu Guide.

Software Repositories and Package Management in Kubuntu

Toonses82 · 07-06-2005, 12:29 PM

Well yeah, that's my first instinct is to uninstall and reinstall stuff. But the problem is the installation program itself! The only thing I can figure is to just do a clean install of the whole system.

Maybe I'll just do that anyway. Thanks for the help though dudes.

I did learn something though. I was getting frustrated that "su" and "sudo" weren't working. Every time I tried to do either, it would say that my root password was incorrect. But when I tried "sudo su" together as in your above post, it worked.

Curious . . .

If you start a command with 'sudo' you need to enter your user password.

If you start a command with 'su' you will be prompted for the root password, which in Ubuntu you need to setup first, with:

sudo passwd root

sbassett · 07-06-2005, 03:11 PM

Tooonses-
Have you tried the following:
dpkg --clear-avail
apt-get update
apt-get install supertux?

Toonses82 · 07-06-2005, 09:18 PM

My God! That worked!!

What exactly did I do there?

sbassett · 07-07-2005, 09:09 AM

You cleared out the "available" settings, which appeared to be gunking up you're apt-gets. After the apt-get update this should have been replaced. The big question is, How did it get all messy in the first place. Did you add any wacky sources recently?

Toonses82 · 07-07-2005, 12:43 PM

What do you mean by "wacky sources?" Are you talking about extra repositories? The only repositories I've ever added were the ones posted earlier by f1dave.
