Update error

[geirha]

Im downloaded the script an put it on my personal folder, I have this error in console:

sudo ./launchpad-update intrepid
sudo: ./launchpad-update: command not found

Im new on Linux

My version: Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid

Locate the script in nautilus (the file browser), then drag the script into the terminal. The full path of the script will appear in the terminal. Add a space and "intrepid", and hit enter.

Works absolutely sweet in 8.10 - even after trying to do tutorials 'claiming' to have fixed this problem. Will keep this script in my library just in case..

btw - just run

sudo ./launchpad-update2

and it should run. It may hang for around 10-20 secs, come up with confirmations ( I had 2 OK's) then exit. You only need to make sure intrepid is mentioned in the source code of this script... and the one I dl'ded did.

To check it's worked, type

sudo apt-get update

and see if any errors continue to come up...

Update your Launchpad PPA repositories and apt keys

[mmilliet]

Ok ppl! here is the final version.
-Auto detects ubuntu version
-Scans all repos and not just sources.list

To execute it Just do the following after you extract it

sudo ./launchpad-update

When I run the script, i get this message:

Release: hardy
Please Wait...
cat: keyss: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `keyss': No such file or directory

It appears keyss is not being created.

The message I get when i try to update is:

W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://dell-mini.archive.canonical.com hardy-dell-mini Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG F9FDA6BED73CDC22 Canonical Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@canonical.com>

Same Error with me.

Release: intrepid
Please Wait...
cat: keyss: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `keyss': No such file or directory

Help please!
I'm trying and trying and I can't do it!
I download script that says "launchpad-update-final.zip" and the one on the page 7 that says "launchpad-update.tar.gz" and both give me the same error

tanchi@Tanchi-laptop:~$ sudo ./launchpad-update intrepid
Release: intrepid
Please Wait...
cat: keyss: No existe el fichero ó directorio
rm: no se puede borrar «keyss»: No existe el fichero ó directorio
tanchi@Tanchi-laptop:~$

I looked on System, about Ubuntu and says that I have Ubuntu 8.10 so I don't understand why I can't do it

[forger]

tachita, try my perl script:

Thanks yanick for the idea! Here is the final version of the script.

Changes:
-Scans all sources from /etc/apt
-menu to choose release name

Thanks bro! it works for me!

I have Hardy 8.04 and was getting this error. I followed the advice in this post, a change to the script for Hardy , and made the following other change to the script:

changed:

for i in `cat fullsourceslist | grep "deb http" | grep ppa.launchpad | grep $RELEASE | cut -d/ -f4`; do

to:

for i in `cat fullsourceslist | grep "deb http" | grep $RELEASE | cut -d/ -f4`; do

<Note: removed grep ppa.launchpad | command from original for statement>

I think this should also help any users who get the

cat: keyss: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `keyss': No such file or directory

messages, regardless of Ubuntu distribution (i.e., whether you're running hardy, intrepid, jaunty, ...)

I guess mmillet just followed the manual steps outlined in Forger's original post Update your Launchpad PPA repositories and apt keys to get things working. Please note I DID NOT receive the second error in mmillet's post about signature verification/GPG.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone out there. It worked for me!

When I run the script, i get this message:

Release: hardy
Please Wait...
cat: keyss: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `keyss': No such file or directory

It appears keyss is not being created.
