I don't think not having Synaptic is typical for Ubuntu. :scratch:

Try downloading libept source and compiling it, then try installing synaptic again.

dear please send link after i download
i m install vlc play after working

post the result to

cat /etc/spat/sources.list
cat: /etc/spat/sources.list: No such file or directory

Sorry, typo.

Please tell us more. What distro/version are you installing it to and what method are you using to install it?

When was the last time you did an update?

today install ubuntu first time update but problem
and not install any software

Oh i see, well before you do anything, do:
So you know what you're doing, I am going to explain what that command does. It is two commands joined together with a '&&'.

The two commands by them selves are:
'apt-get update'
and
'apt-get upgrade'.

You could run those commands in that order separately and get the same result as the one command i've given you (assuming everything goes right).
apt-get is your package manager, it used to install programs. When you tell it to 'update'. It checks you /etc/apt/sources.list file. That file has all the locations/reps on where to get packages. apt-get update checks those locations to see what packages are there, so your computer knows what is available.
When you tell apt-get to upgrade, it actually downloads packages from that place, and installs/upgrades them. I hope that's clear. Either way, it's only optional reading, if you're interested in learning.

Try

Let it finish

Then

let it finish

then

Then

to do a simulation install of synaptic. To see what gets pulled in on a install.

The language barrier is probably gonna be a killer here.
Post output readout in code tags, That is in the toolbar of the advanced reply window. It's symbol is #.

Edit: Just saw Knightrons reply. I'll back out of here so as not to confuse the issue.
#zeeshanayub disregard my post and just listen to knightron so to avoid confusion.

download packegs
please send link download
ya
send command

Try running "sudo apt-get --fix-missing install vlc" (without the quotes).

This is what i can't understand. Have you held any packages?

rokytnji don't hesitate to step in, i've little knowledge on Ubuntu. Those repos are foreign to me. I have to look them up to understand if they're added or not.

OK. That is good.

Language barrier kicks in. We do not know same error because you have not posted any error readouts for sudo apt-get update.

I am starting to wonder if you have a corrupted iso download and we are dealing with a bad md5sum. So did you

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM

before installing ubuntu.

My repos below for comparison (different distro but Ubuntu 14.04 just the same)

I mention again. It is easier for us to read your posts when you put terminal readouts in code tags like I mentioned in my previous post.

I need to check my sources.list, because it seems quite odd that the OP's shows old-release.

Right, the <URL> http://pk.archive.ubuntu.com
.. is not a valid <url>. At least not for now.

Please use "a fast link that always works",
e.g. the Swedish or Australian.

HOWTO change <url> : $ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
.. and the change the <url>'s to http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

...and since you don't tell us ANYTHING that would give us any ideas on what you're doing, what do you think we'll be able to tell you?? You don't tell us version/distro of Linux, what you're doing to GET the messages you posted, what you're trying to accomplish, etc., there's nothing we can help you with. Provide details and ask a clear question, and we can try to help.

...and....
Read the LQ Rules; first, don't post the same question multiple times, and second, stop using text-speak, and spell out your words. It's "you" not "u".

And NO ONE HERE is going to log into your machine and fix your problems for you. If you want someone to do that, post this into the LQ Job Marketplace, along with how much you're going to PAY SOMEONE to do your work for you, and someone will be happy to do it. You were told what file to edit, what to change, and how to edit it; can't get much clearer. Running the gedit command WILL open a new window...and that window will have the file you need to change IN IT.

Other thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ng-4175522953/

Well, you get the idea. @ the OP.

It is starting to look like your Ubuntu sources list is incorrect. At least compared to mine.

@zeeshanayub, you have 8 threads related to your software installation issues, check post 7 here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...kg-4175523052/

I think you should stop and go with just one and answer questions in one thread until you solve your issues

dear i send teamviewer after install
please dear help me

Please stay in one thread and read what they say and respond as they say. You have 8 threads open and you are not helping yourself this way

Sorry Bro. Dear or not. I am outa here. Life is too short.
Hope you have a LUG where you are at.

Good

Now what is the output of "sudo apt-get update"
Please copy and paste the command and ALL of the output.

← #49 .

As the other 4? threads from yesterday are indicating,
@zeeshanayub is using a `sources.list' with dead <url>'s.
