Package Manager & Update Manager problems

[teriyaki-89]

that's really sad moment,
i have to use proxy, cause have no direct access

[bonesTdog]

The 2F4U solution worked perfectly for me as well running 12.04! Thank goodness there are smart folks like you out there keeping us running and in-line! Thanks!

[teriyaki-89]

could you please explain it or give the url for this solution

Hey fellas,
had a problem to access and update from behind my proxy... here's a solution i found

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ap...e_a_http-proxy

scroll down to the topic titled "Setting up apt-get to use a http-proxy"

Oh, and thanks @bonesTdog, your hint to check with the 2F4U solution was the key to fix my problem @teriyaki-89, was this what you're looking for...?

@teriyaki-89, was this what you're looking for...? nope

thank you guys for help i exported my variables in /etc/apt.conf

Acquire::http::proxy "http://www:pass@10.7.59.12:808/";
Acquire::https::proxy "http://www:pass@10.7.59.12:808/";
Acquire::ftp::proxy "http://www:pass@10.7.59.12:808/";
Acquire::socks::proxy "http://www:pass@10.7.59.12:808/";

/etc/bash.bashrc

export ftp_proxy="http://www:pass@10.7.59.12:808";
export http_proxy="http://www:pass@10.7.59.12:808";
export https_proxy="http://www:pass@10.7.59.12:808";

Also i have a proxy entry in network tab and cause of it's proxy interface drawback i wrote some entries to gconf where i put proxy user, password and bypass list, so only chromium and mozilla can work with windows proxy now on other machine and all ubuntu grafical applications don't work, apt does not work cause of hashe mismatch but it can download some packages i see this in proxy logs. In terminal i can use wget and download packages. And if i setup squid proxy server ubuntu can work with this well.
I wish next ubuntu release have no drawback working under not native linux proxies like ccproxy

hey folks,

I had the same bad-sig error, and this bunch of commands helped get my update manager up and going... hth...

sudo -i
apt-get clean
cd /var/lib/apt
mv lists lists.old
mkdir -p lists/partial
apt-get clean
apt-get update

-abhi
P.S: a previous comment already had the third command onwards, but that was still throwing back the error... a clean helped and then everything got back to normal...

Kool beans bra, mos definitely worked for my issue/s.

I myself recently upgraded to 12.04 from 10.04 and all has been well if not better since. But a few days ago I fire up the update manager and start getting errors that just wont quit. Only affecting the Update Manager and the Software Center. The error I would get when trying to run the update manager;

'Reading package lists... Error!

All is well once more..

I'm another happy camper... This fixed my bad-sig error. Thanks to all.

Thanks 2F4U! I had the same problem and this fixed it.

So far I have tried the /cd/var/lib/apt suggestion above and it did shorten the list quite a bit, just still have errors.

i also tried:

If you just want to add the one repository key generating the errors:
Code:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 437D05B5 3E5C1192
sudo apt-get update



I've tried putting in:
sudo ./launchpad-update

REF:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...4#post12383824

I've tried putting in /bin /opt /tmp /etc and several other places and executing it each time, but no dice when I try the sudo /.launchpad-update cmd in Terminal.

(I accidentally deleted a few other things I tried so no URL for that).

A few things to note:

I CANNOT use the Authentication tab of Software Sources!
I no longer run Fiesty Fawn 7
I run DreamLinux 5
I have successfully done this in the past, I cannot recall the steps.

My out put errors:

Edit: (Reason: new borked Terminal output, we're improving, not quite there yet.).

I suspect, though I'm not quite sure yet, that the UBUNTU 10.xxxx at the bottom of the /var/cache/xxxx is a different version than the on DreamLinux 5 is based on.

Thank you!!

You've got repos from Debian, DreamLinux, and Ubuntu all on one machine! Yikes! D=

That's defintiely causing the problems. The fact is, if you want to use Ubuntu repos, you pretty much have to use Ubuntu (or a derivative). There are tons of changes in some packages in Debian that aren't all compatibile with Ubuntu's pacakages, and that's cauing the conflict.
