planetmirror down?

[majkmil]

I recently installed ubuntu on a G4 ibook ppc. It seems that th repositories are different. I am mising a file (libstdc++.so.5). When I use synaptic or apt I get all kinds of errors about planetmirror.

Are these mirrors down and can I edit my sources.list file to fix this? Thank You in advance

This is a long shot but since i have got the same probs
like lots of 404 errors and sever acnova no reply my guess
is it might be the firewall in your router that is blocking traffic.
Perhaps connecting directly to the internet will do the trick.
I am gonna try the same thing lets see what it does.
I am not on a notebook so give me a moment.
Let you know asap.

[majkmil]

Thanks let me know. I wonder if there is a port we can open on the router.

i think that what you can do download the package directly for the debian website. Check the attachment unzip and install it is the package libstdc++.

[majkmil]

I tried synaptic but I get the errors there also. Do I install with the dpkg-i command?

[majkmil]

r4ik. did you have any luck bypassing the router. When I tried to install the deb package I got errors about g++-3.3 . Any ideas

[aysiu]

I tried synaptic but I get the errors there also. Do I install with the dpkg-i command? You're getting errors because you probably have a bad sources.list. Follow the instructions in my sig. Then use Synaptic to install it.

[majkmil]

I got the file after installing g++-3.3. But I still dont know about planetmirror. Anyone please

[aysiu]

I'm sorry. I still don't understand why you think you need planetmirror.
If you want extra repositories (universe and backports), look at the first link in my sig. This is the third time I've told you.

No luck trying this gives same props.
Gonna try Aysiu's sig.
Good luck !

Is this sources list ok for a PPC?

Is this sources list ok for a PPC?

Little patience my friend read his sig.

[aysiu]

Yes, it's fine.

Hi.

I followed every step given by aysiu, but I still have connection problems.
-in commander, i am told 'connection refused'
-in synaptic, I am told 'proxy authentication required'

my guess is that I have a problem to go through the firewall in my university network. But I don't have a chance to give my details (login/password) as I do for internet.
How can I bypass?

Thanks for helping!

I don't know how to solve that, but these threads may help:

oops I should have asked support from my IT first!

I have to enable internet using telnet and Ienabler software on my network.

Then it works with the command apt-get update, but still does not work using synaptic directly.

Thanks anyway. I think Ubuntu's great. I'm having so much fun!!!
