Update problem

[Bashing-om]

Shobuz99;
I honestly can not recall back to 10.04 GUI ... let's try this: from terminal:

sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ehoover-compholio-lucid.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ehoover-compholio-lucid.list-orig

Hopefully that will move (mv) it out of our way and still be able to restore when we want it.

And then try and install that library.

where there is a will there is a way

rick@rick-desktop:~$

I think we made some progress.... I think!!

[Bashing-om]

Shobuz99; Yeah .. a bit of progress...
Sure wish I understood what I now know... anyway ... moving on:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install icedtea-6-jre-cacao
sudo apt-get install -f ##just for general purposes see if the package manager is still happy
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ##for now, without Netflix in the mix, see what haps.

are we primed now ?

I got up to let the dog out. I figured I'd check in and see what you suggested.
I tried it and here's the results:

rick@rick-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get update

One question: the "dist-upgrade" command. Does that mean upgrade Ubuntu to 10.10,
or just update the existing packages without wine-compholio and netflix in the mix for 10.04?

ok. now I'm going back to bed...
Thanks for sticking with me.

Shobuz99; Hey ...

So far so good !
"dist-upgrade" Basically it boils down to this ... the package manager is to use a "smart mode" to look at and resolve conflicts, as it can. Mostly in a situation where files have been held back, and not installed ..-> advisory such that you are aware that there may be a problem and needs direction on what you want to do, for various reasons. Just another tool to install updates the package manager is unsure of how to handle.

Ok, we are at a think-about-it stage. Netflix, what now do you want to do ... either fix Netflix or remove it ? ... Keep in mind I know nothing in particular about the application specifically .. but with the package manager's direction, we should be able to work through it to get it functional, if you want to.

one more step in a long process

[Shobuz99]

Ok. I'd rather get rid of Netflix altogether. I don't need it for anything anymore.
I bought an LG "Smart TV", earlier this year and if I want Netflix, I'll view it on my TV..not my computers.
I only had Netflix installed on my desktop. My laptop is 10.04 LTS; but I have no issues with it whatsoever.
Also, as I recall, when I initially installed Netflix on my desktop, Wine-Compholio came with it
as a package dependency, I think....not sure.

So, I'm hoping that once we get rid of Netflix; Wine-Compholio should also go with it or
be removed next. At least that is the plan I had in mind originally...before I realized that
version 10.04 LTS had ended it's Long Term Support!

So far you've helped me a great deal, regardless of the roller coaster bumpy ride...
I expected that and it has no reflection on your skills and abilities; which I respect.
So, let's continue and see if we can at least get my desktop to a point where I can start
to develop a "backup plan" for my data and then upgrade to what ever will allow me to install
my old Dreamweaver applications for my web work. Whatever the flavor, i think the 13.04 version
should be my goal...don't you?

Carry on Garth!!!

Shobuz99; You the man .. let's do this !

Ok, roll "ehoover-compholio-lucid.list" back in place:

sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ehoover-compholio-lucid.list-orig /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ehoover-compholio-lucid.list
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

and lets see what happens -> prepping to remove Netflix !

As to a version upgrade... I place a high value on stability .. therefore I do have the current Long Term Support version installed as my backup - whatever goes south, I have a backup. That version 12.04 has support until the year 2017.
A lot depends on your hardware if it can run the resource hog that the high end ubuntu has become, which is why I highly recommend lubuntu... but that does not enjoy LTS, and must be version updated quite regularly.
Now, IF you have attained competence with the ubunto operating system and are aware of what apps are available for ubuntu and you are comfortable with what you want on your operating system -> roll your own ! From binaries it is a piece of cake for the experienced and/or adventuresome. Which is what I have done and I am tickled pink with the results overall .. a few minor issues yet to work out as I had expected. The point is that there exist many many options.

We will cross that bridge when you get there.

Let's see if this bird will fly

[Shobuz99]

ok. I didn't expect to to the last error message:

What does this mean?

Shobuz99

[Bashing-om]

Shobuz99; Shucks...
Not surprised .. just means I have to do my homework and figure out how to manually install "ppa-purge".
Looks like all the snakes except Netflix are stomped out ...

I will be back

[Bashing-om]

Shobuz99; Hey !

See what I ran across ... Directions are nice to have.

If the package installed from a PPA doesn't exist in official Ubuntu repositories then using PPA Purge is not recommended, because there's nothing to be downgraded and PPA Purge wouldn't delete it either. To remove a PPA and installed packages run the following commands: (Ignore the first command if you don't want to remove the installed packages)

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge package-name
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:someppa/ppa
sudo apt-get autoclean

Let's try this:

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge ehoover/compholio
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ehoover/compholio
sudo apt-get autoclean

edit: However, this was supposed to have worked !

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge ppa:ehoover/compholio

makes me wonder even more ... what is not up ?

as I live and learn !
