Can't update / upgrade??

[arashiko28]

I don't know if there is such a huge update but the update manager tells me that can be done all at the time and that I should do a partial upgrade - here is where I become confused - I already have 8.10. :confused:
Anyway I choose the partial upgrade and then I get an error message about most of the packages couldn't be authenticated. I have tried several times and it comes to the same. Any ideas?

[taurus]

Close update-manager. Then, open a terminal and post the output of this command here.

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

sudo apt-get update

Every release still gets periodic upgrades as bugs and security issues are fixed. This is different from upgrading to a new release.

Close update-manager. Then, open a terminal and post the output of this command here.

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

sudo apt-get update

If it were that easy I would have already solved it. In terminal I get another error message.

I went to the software sources and found a couple of sources repeated and uncheked it and now, I get this from synaptic:

E: The package cache file is corrupted
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list?

[arashiko28]

Can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list?

sorry can't do it, I tried to open it with gedit but it opens a new empty document.

[Titan8990]

Just do the following:


cat /etc/apt/sources.list


No need to open in a GUI.


If the file is in fact empty then we need to add repositories to it.

The weird thing is that I know it's not empty. I have added sources. Here's the output:

Obviously, you are using intrepid but then you have a couple of hardy repos in there! No a good idea to mix repos in /etc/apt/sources.list. Therefore, edit /etc/apt/sources.list


gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and place a # in front of those two lines with hardy in it. Save it and close gedit window. Then run


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

[Kevbert]

First try the old favourites in terminal:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
Please report back if these don't help as your package cache file will probably need to be rebuilt.

[arashiko28]

My dpkg package it's not broken, I already solved the synaptic problem, I'm going to work out the other one.

I didn't thought that it would be troublesome, I have installed 8.04 from the CD and upgraded to 8.10 because of hardware incompatibility. That should be the reason for it to be there. Now it's upgrading, thanks a lot for you help! I tend to despair and make a clean install but since I'm on my finals, would have to wait a whole week:p Thanks again.

[arashiko28]

The problem is persisting, even though the hardy sources are out commented. I already tried all of the suggested before, and can't fix the problem.:confused:

The problem does not appear on terminal but on the update manager, later I did all of this in terminal and removed the kernel 2.6.27-7, which I guess will now disappear from my GRUB list.

This is what I get when I try to update with the update manager. See the attachments.

[taurus]

The reason you see that message from update-manager because you have a third party repo for OpenOffice.

So, should I remove it? Perhaps it's there because I upgraded it to 3.0... would this solve the odf-converter problem I'm facing? I can't open .docx, .pptx nor .xlsx, it creates a big mess, It used to work perfectly on hardy... I had another thread for this, bur so far, no answers.:confused:

there is another thing, I rather to take advantage and don't go through creating a new thread. I can't run frostwire since I upgraded.

Something went wrong with FrostWire.
Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java?
(FrostWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.4+)
The version of Java in your PATH is:
java version "1.6.0_0"
IcedTea6 1.3.1 (6b12-0ubuntu6) Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b12)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 1.6.0_0-b12, mixed mode)


This is what I get when try to run through terminal, when on the menu, it does nothing.

[taurus]

Try installing the Sun java version.


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
And when you get to the licensing screen, press the Tab key to highlight the <OK> and Return to accept it.

Once the installation is done, make sure the Sun's version is the default.


sudo update-alternatives --config java
java -version

[arashiko28]
