Apt-get update and apt-get upgrade
I don't know why but I can't seem to get any upgrades for weeks now. This what I get when I do apt-get update/upgrade.

Your running stable so you will only get upgrades/updates once a security problem has been found and a fixed package has been uploaded. If you wish to have newer versions of the packages you have installed then your either have to go to www.backports.org to see if they have newer versions built for Etch or upgrade your install to the testing or unstable branches.
|
switch the etch to lenny or testing if you want the latest updates. It's not the rock solid system that is etch, but I have never had a major problem with the testing branch and the minor problems are usually fixed within a day or two.
|
You can also add repos that will upgrade you whenever Stable gets "point" upgrades (Etch has already had two). Add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list and you will probably be offered lots of upgrades:
Code:
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ proposed-updates main contrib non-free Code:
apt-get update |
Ah
Thanks that answers a lot. Yeah it ain'st broke and I am not that good with Linux yet to take any real risks. I already had to reinstal everything on two machines a month ago and reinstall all the apps. That was time consuming a stressful. I am only having one problems with browsing and that might just be Yahoo and another Linux forum that I can't seem to post on. Does very weird things. So when I posted here afterwards I thought 'ah it is those other sites and not the browser'.
Thanks so much for the advice!:cool: |
Browser problems are often (not always) Java or Flash related, so you might also check around for HOWTOs that talk about installing Java and Flash plugins for your browser.
|
Yes
Yep that makes sense actually as the Yahoo site depends on those and I think I saw at the bottom of the browser something about Java. I didn't understand it though. As far as I know I installed all of that but I will take a 2nd look now that you mention it as it keeps happening especially with the same websites.
|
Could be that you installed the sun-java5-jre, but you forgot to install the plugin, sun-java5-plugin
Code:
it-etch:~# update-alternatives --config java restart firefox/iceape and type about:plugins to view your installed plugins Java should be listed. You can test java in your browser by going to http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml [edit] Edited to correct mistyped about:config command.. DOH !! [/edit] |
Actually that's "about: plugins" ...
|
... and just to annoy people, it's
Code:
about:plugins |

I get this when I try to install the plugin:
carla:/home/carla# apt-get install sun-java5-plugin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-plugin farslayer-I can't quite understand the code. Sorry I am pretty much a beginner. I did the about:plugin in the browser and there are many plugins. I can't see anything about Java but this is the flash stuff: Shockwave Flash File name: libflash-mozplugin.so Flash Movie player Version 0.4.12 compatible with Shockwave Flash 4.0 Shockwave is a trademark of MacromediaŽ GPLFLash homepage : gplflash.sf.net MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-shockwave-flash Flash Plugin swf Yes application/futuresplash Future Splash spl Yes Shockwave Flash File name: libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48 MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes Yep I tried that page http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml last night and it shows java is not installed as that green jigsaw symbol is present. All the above is using the browser Iceweasel. Now I am having a look at what Konqueror gives me. about:plugins ava Plug-in Java Plug-in KJAS for Konqueror kjavaappletviewer.so application/x-java-applet - Java Applet (class) application/x-java-bean - JavaBeans (jar) Shockwave Flash Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48 libflashplayer.so application/x-shockwave-flash - Shockwave Flash (swf) application/futuresplash - FutureSplash Player (spl) Shockwave Flash Flash Movie player Version 0.4.12 compatible with Shockwave Flash 4.0 Shockwave is a trademark of MacromediaŽ GPLFLash homepage : gplflash.sf.net libflash-mozplugin.so application/x-shockwave-flash - Flash Plugin (swf) application/futuresplash - Future Splash (spl) Using http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml It says JRE is installed. So maybe I should just use Konqueror but the only thing is I have always had trouble with Konqueror when using Ebay. When listing and editing listings. Specifically uploading pictures to the site. That is why I have been using Iceweasel because it worked for that. |

Yes, fixing /etc/apt/sources.list is likely the solution, but here's a handy thing to know when looking for packages in general:
Code:
# apt-cache search whatever Or, if the list you get is huge: Code:
# apt-cache search whatever | less Or to find all whatever containing the string gizmo: Code:
# apt-cache search whatever | grep gizmo |
Telemachos-so is that line supposed to be
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free or deb http//ftp.au.debian.org/ etch main contrib non-free it's just that one has the second 'debian' missing. Sorry I know I have done it but how do I edit the repositories? Should I do it in Synaptic or via a terminal. I just don't remember how. eerok-Thanks for those extra tips as I am mostly usisng the package manager. It's good to know more than one way of doing things and apt seems to be more powerful?! |
Quote:
If you changed it last time through Synaptic and you find that way manageable, that's fine. I don't use Synaptic though, so I don't know any details about it. If you do it through the command line, then you need to become root (enter "su", you will get prompted for your root password; enter that and you should be root - the end of the prompt will change from a "$" to "#"). Next you can do this: Code:
cd /etc/apt/ Nano is a relatively user-friendly terminal editor. When you have a file open with Nano, you will see the text and at the bottom a "menu" of commands. Each command looks like "^R" or "^O" or whatever. That means "Control key and that letter at the same time". So to save your file, you enter "Control key and the letter O at the same time" (write out = save). Use the arrow keys to move to the line(s) you are changing and then add "contrib non-free"; then save and quit. Then "apt-get update" and try again. |
Ah yes that all looks familiar:
Oops this happened: carla:/etc/apt# cp sources.list.backup-01192007 cp: missing destination file operand after `sources.list.backup-01192007' Try `cp --help' for more information. carla:/etc/apt# |

That all looks fine to me. Notice that all of the upgrades you received are security upgrades. That makes sense since you are in Stable/Etch. If you want to get that kernel upgrade (which is also a security upgrade, as I recall), you can enter (again as root) "apt-get dist-upgrade". One small point:

I've now half lost track of what the original goal was though. Is there some larger thing that you are trying to do? |
I understood that the goal was to add non-free and contrib to the sources.list in order to get sun java to solve some browser problems.
Should be good to go now. |

@ Rapattack - try again to search for sun-java5 - Quote:

Telemachos-Thanks! I decided against the kernal upgrade as that is an unstable upgrade. I am too inexperienced and I can't take the risk and time out. I had all my pc's offline for over a month in 2007 and it caused kaos. I am not in business but I often sell stuff on ebay plus I am into music production and I am still not in full swing yet. I still have to get my audio problems fixed in Debian too. There is a thing called Jack that I haven't worked out yet. I have read all the howto's and it is just not working for me.
Ah yeah I did the exit thing because I wasn't sure of .....well being in apt....I dunno////well now youv'e told me how that works thanks! OK this is what I got about java: carla:/home/carla# apt-cache search sun-java sun-java5-bin - Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 (architecture dependent files) sun-java5-demo - Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 demos and examples sun-java5-doc - Sun JDK(TM) Documention -- integration installer sun-java5-fonts - Lucida TrueType fonts (from the Sun JRE) sun-java5-jdk - Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 sun-java5-jre - Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 (architecture independent files) sun-java5-plugin - The Java(TM) Plug-in, Java SE 5.0 sun-java5-source - Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 5.0 source files openoffice.org - OpenOffice.org Office suite |

Oh ok it is just that someone said that thing was unstable. I don't quite understand. Ok will try and read up.

I got into synaptic and tried to install flash player and something went wrong so I did 'reinstallation' and got this : An error occured The following details are provided: E: belocs-locales-bin: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9 Was I supposed to get flashplugin-nonfree instead? It seemed to be an either or situation as when I tried to install the flashplugin-nonfree straight afterwards it was going to remove flashplayer-mozilla . Which is which? OK well I tried anyway and got this: E: belocs-locales-bin: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 9 |
Please don't post such very long console sessions. Only post the parts that are relevant to whatever is going on or you are asking about.
I'm not sure why you need belocs-locales-bin, but whatever it is, it's not installing properly. One thought is to try to remove it, frankly. I don't think that Java requires it: Code:
apt-get remove belocs-locales-bin |
Sorry
Hi sorry I never really know what is relevent I am afraid that is why I posted the lot.
I don't know what that whole thing is. I asked on another forum and they said don't worry about it but it happens everytime I install something: Here is what happened with some of it: carla:/home/carla# apt-get remove belocs-locales-bin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libquicktime1 Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. The following packages will be REMOVED: belocs-locales-bin belocs-locales-data sun-java5-bin sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 5 to remove and 1 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 94.2MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), did you want the rest? It is pretty long. And it removed what I just installed?! |

Oops belocs is back:
carla:/home/carla# apt-get install sun-java5-bin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: sun-java5-bin: Depends: sun-java5-jre (= 1.5.0-10-3) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages carla:/home/carla# apt-get install sun-hava5-jre Reading package lists...

Sorry now I don't remember. I didn't keep all of that saved. There is an icon in the menu 'Sun java5 webstart'. I looked at it but I do not understand anything. I opened it I should say or ran at.

Ok, if you don't remember, it's probably fine. If you run "apt-get update" now, does it have any errors? As for the Sun-java5 icon, you shouldn't need to ever mess with that directly. Open a browser and enter "about:plugins" into the address bar. You should see a bunch of listings for Java. You can also try this to check the package more directly
Code:
dpkg -l belocs-locales-bin |
Ok there are no errors when I do apt-get update.
OK I won't mess with the sun-java thingy. After doing the about:plugins there is whole bunch of stuff and a heading that says: Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_10-b03 File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_10 with a bunch of stuff under that heading. Was I suppoed to do this as root or user? $ dpkg -l belocs-locales-bin Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ iF belocs-locales 2.4-2.1 tools for compiling locale data files |
