This is the output when I use debcopy to create the last (nr. 7) Ubuntu Jaunty repositories DVD. This is the only DVD where I actually get two non-existence files. It is telling "libtotem not found" for 2 times. I also have about 100 ignored files for each of the 7 DVD's. Does this mean that some packages are not downloaded completely, or not at all? Do I have to download all over again?

Sorry I have only just seen your posts. The Packages.gz file is the file that lists what packages are on the dvd iso. If it is telling you that it cannot find libtotem in the Packages.gz file then it is expecting it to be there but it isn't. I would suggest looking for libtotem in your Repo and if it isn't there try to update your Repo download.

I am busy to create and test those dvd repositories for two weeks now. I am going to Africa this week to try and set up a computer teaching project, but this hash sum is making me pull my hair out right now. I don't have any internet connection there, so I need these disks to install new packages.

Is there anyone who can help me out?

Sorry but even with glasses I cannot read the text in the screenshot

Thanks for your reaction!

I already found libtotem in my offline repositories, so that problem is fixed.

I am sorry for the bad screenshot. Right now I only have the Hash Sum mismatch problem for one file (openoffice.org-common). When I try to install the packages from the Edubuntu add-on disk it also wants to upgrade this package. When this happens, my install aborts and I am left with an unfinished system. I already tried to install the file separately with dpkg -i and dpkg -i --force-all, but also that fails. I have enclosed the part of my terminal output that gives the error below;

Code:

The following packages will be upgraded: language-selector language-selector-common libgnutls26 openoffice.org-base-core openoffice.org-common openoffice.org-core openoffice.org-gtk openoffice.org-math openoffice.org-writer 9 upgraded, 75 newly installed, 0 to remove and 254 not upgraded. 293 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B/131MB of archives. After this operation, 230MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu 6' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 6]/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-common_3.0.1-9ubuntu3.1_all.deb Hash Sum mismatch E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? youthcenter1@youthcenter1:~/Desktop$

Is there any way to ignore this file? Or is there any other way to fix it?

No you can't ignore the file as far as I am aware, there has been a meesage put at the beginning of this thread about this problem. Basically you need to have all off the repositories on the one disk for a Karmic install as it is a new bug in Karmic systems. If you could use a usb drive (flash or hdd) to keep your repositories on then you will be fine but t this point in time trying to use dvd's isn't working properly. The other thing you could do is copy the dvd's to the computer you are installing them onto if its hdd is big enough to put them all on.

ABOUT REPOSITORIES...

Ive been trying to enable repositories in my software sources list but cant even find threads that deal only with that subject. Can you help? When I 'Reload' repositories I get a list of seven that can't be enabled because theres no public key or they cant be found online. When I try to locate a public key, Im given a list of directories on my hard drive. So? What can I do? Just for clarity, the list is below:
================================================== ===============================

Your question is off-topic, you may start a new thread, mentioning which release of Ubuntu you are running (Jaunty or Karmic...etc) and including your /etc/apt/sources.list. Sure we will be able to help ;)

P.S. deb repos line in sources.list should be in this form (e.g. Karmic)

Code:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic main multiverse restricted universe

Hi Geoffree. I agree with Sensiva a little bit. There are many threads on this issue you just need to look a little harder for them or start your own in Absolute Beginners Talk.

I'll give you another hint that will help people to help you and that is to learn how to put things like your sources list etc into a code box. It takes up less space and people will be able to see the whole line easily. To do this you need to type {code} before the text you want in the code box and {/code} after the text you want in the code box. One important thing you need to do is change the { and } for [ and ] otherwise it wont look like this

Code:

this is what a code box looks like

it will just look like this {this isn't what a code box looks like}

Now to your question, it is highly possible the OpenOffice ppa has changed so it may be an invalid source now.

Check out these links.

Did you install the FBReader PGP key? It's documented as follows:
- Download the key file;
- As root, run
  
  Code:
  
  apt-key add geometer.fbreader.org.asc
Your other problems must have something to do with incorrectly specified repositories in your "/etc/apt/sources.list"; you may want to use your browser to navigate to these locations, and see what you find there.

Re: How To: Make Your Own Ubuntu Repository DVDs

Thanks for your suggestions. I tried to find threads relating to enabling repositories but got back list that included everything but. Moving on.

Re: How To: Make Your Own Ubuntu Repository DVDs

Thank you for replying. I do know what a code box looks like and how to set out code lists. I pasted the list of repos I got on the error message (after typing "reload repositories") in order to clarify what I was dealing with.
I posted as I did after trying to find previous threads relating to repositories. My search terms had been on the order of: "how to enable repositories" but I got back a jumble of topics that were totally off subject.
It seems that the search engines here at Ubuntu are not exactly up to par. Or maybe you could suggest the appropriate way to print terms in order to address more exactly the problem described here and to either find a thread or begin a new one.

An element in the error msg was that the address included '/dists/' though in my 'sources.list', that word wasn't. That was the truly puzzling part. I hope that this way of formatting my question will be acceptable.

Thank you,

Geoffree

Re: How To: Make Your Own Ubuntu Repository DVDs

My comment about the code box was a hint so that we could see the entire line as it appeared, not parts of it with a group of dots in the middle. Sorry if I appeared harsh.

The dists section of the line is what you see on the webpages for the repos themselves. Apt etc look for the dists you are using, e.g. Karmic, Karmic-security or Jaunty etc, to do that they need to go to the dists section. All it is is a pathway and it is why that is not actually in your sources.list, if it didn't take the dists pathway then you could end up on a myriad of other folders looking for the files you need. Take a look at the screenshots to see what I mean.
