Sometimes people post also their own sources.list here. Don't let that confuse you.

But ... I have Ubuntu 5.04 Hoary Hedhoge.
Can I then also use this list ? ore am I in trouble now ?

Sorry I can't post mine yet, since I'm not home, but I wanted to ask something that I'm reminded of. What's the difference between a source and binary repository? I know that one has sources, and the other has binaries, but why have both? When you apt-get something from the src repository, does your computer compile it, and install it? Or do some programs/libraries need to be installed as the source code? What gives?

Just wanted to see if you guys have any cool repositores other than the standard ones. All i've found is PLF so far that has stuff like w32codecs and realplayer. as you can see i'm new :rolleyes:

it is there if you want to get the source packages and change something and compile yourself.

Backport developers also use these src repos to grab source packages from currentversion+1 and compile it on currentversion

e.g. from dapper -> breezy

This makes it much easier than packaging the deb from scratch.

So if you're not going to change something and compile yourself then you don't need the src repos?

I got my computer from Open Sense Solutions (http://ubuntupc.com/). Their installation of Ubuntu includes their own repository. I've had the machine since June and it's been purring like a kitten.

Looks very nice! Especially the SLIM would be very nice to use at work (in multiple cubicles) or so...

[Stormy Eyes]

Looks very nice! Especially the SLIM would be very nice to use at work (in multiple cubicles) or so...

Their prices are pretty reasonable, too. I use the Lini, since I just needed a machine for myself and wanted Ubuntu instead of Debian. (I don't think I'm hardcore enough to install pure Debian, even though I've installed and run Gentoo.)

[`GooZ´]

Looks very nice indeed, especially for only $600, which is approx €510! Think I'm going to consider one too ;-)

[Stormy Eyes]

You might want to toss 'em an email and see if they ship internationally; international shipping does tend to cost a metric arseload, even for little things like CDs. I would know; I married a girl from Australia after a four-year long-distance relationship.

aah, they have their own kernel packages (probably not security maintained) and aren't releasing sources (GPL violation)!

You might wanna talk to them about the GPL breach at least, and perhaps switch to a Ubuntu kernel....

What's the difference between deb and deb-src ?! deb-src is for files like tcl8.4-dev !? and backports needs a line for deb-src ?

Something like that...
deb-src is for source packages. With the source you can compile a pakacage yourself. For example sometimes it is needed to compile your kernel yourself to make it work with some exotic hardware.

Looks fine. Jdong, please do not accuse people of anything without any evidence. And the gpl only states that they have to provide the sources to their customers (The people having the software distributed to them). Unless you have bought a pc from them and they have refused to give you the source, do not accuse them of breaking the gpl.

Anyway, this is my first post in awhile.

mschievano: Just a few questions...

Why do you have both Breezy and Dapper repositories?

Why do you have "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe multiverse" and not "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main universe multiverse restricted"?

What is the Kubuntu repository needed for?

Why do you have PLF under 'Open Office'?

automatix probably messed up your sources.list somehow. Try changing to my sources.list. Instructions are here : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=92672

[hl2u]

thanks for your fast answer but... it didn't help.
the same error warning keep comming even after copy/paste
your sources from the quoted thread + restarting the X

[ubuntu_demon]

You have to make sure there are no typo's in the corresponding sources.list entries.

And you have to type :
$ sudo apt-get update

[h.mehdi]

when I do `sudo apt-get update' and it starts updating I see lines starting with `Ign' & `Hit' & `get' ...
Can any one please tell me what does these `Ign' & `Hit' & `get' means ?

Thanks

In Synaptic, try pressing Reload... Does that make the errors go away?

that's just normal output of what is happening. It's not an error.

[mschievano]

mschievano: Just a few questions...

Why do you have both Breezy and Dapper repositories?

Why do you have "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe multiverse" and not "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main universe multiverse restricted"?

What is the Kubuntu repository needed for?

Why do you have PLF under 'Open Office'?

Also, FYI, Breezy Extras have been pretty much scrapped: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=550722

1. Breezy to mantain some packages to the stable version
2. Dapper for the contrary
3. I've added the main and restricted packages
4. Kubuntu because i use k3b instead of gnomebaker
5. I change the position for PLF
6. I have deleted some repos

My new sources:

Kubuntu because i use k3b instead of gnomebaker

I use K3B too, so I tried adding deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde35 breezy main, but it didn't offer me a new version of K3B. Note that its not mentioned in http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde35/dists/breezy/main/binary-i386/Packages

(the most recent version seems to be 0.12.7-1ubuntu1~breezy1 from breezy-backports)


My new sources:

deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ breezy-extras restricted
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ breezy-extras universe
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ breezy-extras multiverse

As per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=550722 the guy who runs backports (and extras) said "Breezy Extras is empty, and if at all possible I intend on keeping it that way."

Any ideas, please ?
A closer look at the errors you're getting reveals that you're using an AMD64 processor, aren't you? This is a problem because many of the repositories don't carry binaries for it.

Remove the PLF and Opera repositories and your errors should clear up...

[hl2u]

"Remove the PLF and Opera repositories and your errors should clear up..."

cool, it did help indeed, thank you !! But... if I want to upgrade some applications- let's say Open Office or Firefox ( even those multimedia codecs ) - for my AMD 64 , what I'm supose to add to my sources list ?

All the Official Ubuntu Repositories support AMD64, so you don't need to worry about getting the right packages as far as those go (e.g. Firefox). Its only when you want to expand beyond them that you have to be aware of what the repositories contain.

An example: The official repositories contain OpenOffice.org2 version 1.9 (which is to say, a beta of version 2.0). ubuntu_demon's repository for version 2.0 is:

## Oo2 final - you can optionally use this one until OOo2 final arrives in backports
## deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2 ./

But if you used that (BTW, to enable a repository you have to remove the #'s in front of lines which start with "deb") it would not work for you since you have an AMD64 processor... Instead, the line you would have to use is:

deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2-amd64/ ./

(ubuntu_demon: note also that the correct repository for PPC is deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2-powerpc/ ./ )

BTW, once you've installed OO.o 2.0, you can remove that line, since the next version will most likely end up in Backports.

As far as proprietary codecs go, that's more tricky; see for example http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62685

[Limulus]

ubuntu_demon: two things...

First, since your list is the one "which I recommend for the average desktop user running breezy", why do you have all the deb-src entries? Average users will never compile packages from source and it takes longer to download the repository info ;)

Second, I thought you might want to include the repository:

deb http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/ubuntu breezy universe
to get Boinc (used for Seti@home, etc.).

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=99584
and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96930

[ubuntu_demon]

Thnx for the input guys! I editted my sticky.

The average desktop user has no ppc or amd64.

It can't hurt to include the src repos in case you might need them later. If you are on a slow internet connection I would advise to remove them.

IMHO the people who need boinc will find the repo on the forums.(most average desktop users won't need boinc) I don't want to complicate the sources.list too much.

[ubuntu_demon]

information about apt-get :

http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=103462

[bonzodog]

I have just discovered that amd64 support isn't included, and you say extras is no longer used? So is what do amd64 users get? Can someone post an up to date sources.list for amd64? I still have the extras enabled in my sources.list as I found out that the plf repos do not support 64 bit.

There's no point to having extras in your sources.list if you have Breezy because its empty; see http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=550792&postcount=43

You're also unfortunately not the first person to notice the lack of packages compiled for AMD64: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=609647&postcount=234

Basically, what someone with AMD64 can get (easily) is the basic Ubuntu Install plus OpenOffice.org 2.0; AFAIK, there are no prepared packages for AMD64 Opera, nor Boinc and in order to get w32codecs, you'll need a 32 bit media player which is a extra work to install properly. You can also compile some packages for yourself from source, but that still doesn't help with things like Opera.

If you're ok with that, then use a sources.list like this:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ breezy main universe multiverse restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ breezy-updates main universe multiverse restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ breezy-security main universe multiverse restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ breezy-backports main universe multiverse restricted
deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2-amd64 ./
If not, you might seriously want to consider installing the i386 version of Ubuntu... Hope that helps, not that its good news :/

In the long run though, support for AMD64 should improve.

You might want to toss 'em an email and see if they ship internationally; international shipping does tend to cost a metric arseload, even for little things like CDs. I would know; I married a girl from Australia after a four-year long-distance relationship.

i want to use these, but a lot of them "can't verify keys"
You should still be able to install them, even without the keys... (you'll just get a warning message first). I don't know if all of them even have keys, but the key for the KDE packages (for Amarok, KDE and Koffice) is on http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.3.7.php (or see the other announcements)

BTW, I was looking at these two:

deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde35 breezy main
#Amarok
deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-1.3.7 breezy main

If you go to http://kubuntu.org/packages/ you'll note that there exists subdirectories "amarok-latest" and "kde-latest" which have the exact same timestamp as the ones you quoted with version numbers; thus to keep as up to date as possible, I would suggest:

#kde
deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest breezy main
#Amarok
deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-latest breezy main

It can't hurt to include the src repos in case you might need them later. If you are on a slow internet connection I would advise to remove them.

I'm on a slow connection, but had to put my deb-src lines back in. I tried taking them out when I upgraded from Hoary to Breezy, but synaptic (and apt in general, I think) was very confused about what packages I had and which ones I wanted. I tried repeatedly to make it work without the deb-src lines, but finally putting them back in made everything work. I should clarify that I wasn't using anything but the binary packages.

I haven't messed with it since then. Whenever I try to run without the src repos again, I will post about whatever I discover.

Synaptic will give me an error if I start it after altering my sources.list file because the changes are new to it; I can fix that by either (a) ignoring the error for the moment and pressing the reload button which then makes it go away for future uses, or (b) running sudo apt-get update after changing the sources.list but before running Synaptic.

If you feel like doing a little experiment, edit your sources list (sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list) and instead of removing the deb-src entries, put a # in front of them. The # character at the beginning of a line tells apt/synaptic to ignore that line. Then run sudo apt-get update and then try Synaptic. Any errors?

What sources am I meant or best adding to use the libpimp stuff in Dapper so I can use musicbrainz etc? I read deb unstable works ... ?

[Cesium]

I changed my sources.list based off this sources.list. I was having problems with synaptic since I think a site for a repository was down, but now no longer have problems so thanks for the sources.list.

What effects are there from using this sources.list instead of what I already had?

Can anyone direct me to a link where I can LEARN how the whole system of repos work? :)

I want to know which repo keeps what type of packages and how keys work etc etc.

I added the Cipherfunk repo for its multimedia packages.

You can use the following Wine mirror (much faster than SourceForge):
deb http://wine.lowvoice.nl/apt breezy main
deb-src http://wine.lowvoice.nl/apt breezy main

(and switch breezy for dapper if you're running dapper)
