[Bug 220645] Re: package ubuntu-desktop 1.102 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
I've had trouble with the hardy upgrade, with packages such as rsync, cupsys, ubuntu-standard failing to configure due to dependency problems. I have debian packages installed that are not supported by ubuntu. I have since learned mixing ubuntu and debian packages could cause problems, but wasn't sure if all of the debian packages could be removed without making the system unstable. I got an email from getdeb.net, a site that is a source for some of the debian packages I've installed. The email suggested that before a hardy upgrade all 'getdeb' packages be removed, and for the system to be configured with a separate home partition. The email has links for instructions to remove packages in synaptic, and how to create a separate home partition in an already installed system. (with a reminder to backup) I also wondered if there are other debian files that need to be removed. I have sysv-rc-2.86.ds1-38 I read in wikki GTK+1, and GTK+2 are not compatible, and metacity uses GTK+2 but that may not be relevant I've included some of the details of the email including the link urls, and hope someone can explain in more detail, or if this applies to another bug. I was worried the email was spam (how to delete your home file with one key stroke) http://www.getdeb.net : Fresh installs are much easier to perform if the data (/home) and the OS are not on the same partition. If the installation was done into a single partition, it is recommended to split it (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome). Backup is strongly recommended if you are going to perform partition changes. If you don't have a separate home and still want to perform a fresh install, you must backup your data to an external media or to an another disk. Then, reinstall the system creating the recommended partitions and restore the data from your backup. If you cannot perform a fresh install and will need to do a distribution upgrade it is recommended that you remove all getdeb packages prior to the upgrade. You can remove all the getdeb packages following the procedure at http://www.getdeb.net/docs/uninstall.pdf .

[Bug 195661] Re: [hardy alpha 5] package cupsys 1.3.5-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
I haven't been sure if it was the upgrade as much as the number of applications I have loaded on my system. I decided to try and load as much as I could onto my system , because I intend to upgrade my laptop, to a dual core, before I installed a system permanently on the new laptop. I now know I 'experiment' to much to have a permanent stable system. but being new to linux and ubuntu I wanted to learn as much as quickly as possible. The 'hard way' can make learning both necessary, and memorable. I hadn't done anything with apparmor, or tried to install SELinux - yet. I haven't been able to connect with wireless, in hardy, but I got another automatic dist-upgrade from alpha5-6 using ethernet. Cupsys still seem to fail for the same reason. I have some kde programs, and unauthenticated packages, but in var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log the packages seemed to be ones that depended on cupsys, not the reverse. I have a hardya6 alternate CD, and a copy of gutsy I'm building with a similar application load in an effort to try and solve the problem by elimination. I only have Windows at all, for the sake of a canon printer. The main system I use is still the pre upgrade Gutsy I had in a root tar file. I haven't been switching between systems too often, because I've been foldingathome,(I discovered that when I went looking for a solution to my clock or server failing.) and begrudge the hour or few getting nowhere. I know here is a difference between kubuntu and ubuntu upgrades. but not how it would it affect automatic upgrades on xclient-script alternate or any other upgrades. I'm spending too much space writing what I don't know. I'll update if I learn anything constructive. -- [hardy alpha 5] package cupsys 1.3.5-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195661 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 193879] Re: dist-upgrade failure, could not download repository indexes
I am curious about an upgrade which failed which I continued in bug 197199 regarding the update-manager -d which I continued in another bug because it was a distro upgrade from gutsy to hardy. This bug was said to be invalid because the distro I am using is Ubuntu Ultimate. As far as I can work out The upgrade was from gutsy to hardy, it was not an ultimate, upgrade. As far as I know one does not exist yet. I want to try and work the problem out because ubuntu update-manager will have a hardy distro upgrade in april, and I want to try and solve the entire problem before then. The Ultimate system seems to be a Ubuntu base, with packages added most of which are available in synaptic. The upgrade seems to have failed because the apparmor would not install cupsys, so there were associated dependency problems which were also ubuntu related. The Hardy system that 'failed is on USB, and there were problems loading wireless which I have not solved yet but seemed to be a problem with ndiswrapper. Is apparmor necessary ? I know there is SELinux but I don't know enough about linux and ubuntu to configure it. I discovered this in bug 195661 which was also about a apparmour/cupsys upgrade failure filed by christer edwards, but it is listed as a cupsys bug. I know when some universe and backport packages are added they can cause instability, The prime examples on my system have been ichthux, and Envy. Envy had a hardware problem no ati or nvidia card. Can packages that cause instability be identified before an upgrade is done? When I update-manager -d update-manager said my system was up to date. The USB upgrade has since upgraded to the hardy Alpha 6 kernel 2.6.24-11-generic which I managed with ethernet. cupsys still failed to configure, and crashed. I just got some new CDs so I'm going to burn a copy of hardy alpha 6 and install that. Maybe I can just do a kernel/apparmor/cupsys transplant. Perhaps that would be like giving it a brain transplant. While I may be learning the 'hard way' what I learn usually leads to another program entirely. I figure with the number of people turning to Ubuntu there are bound to be some weird bugs submitted by people only just introduced linux and ubuntu. Perhaps some of what I write can nip some of them in the bug. -- dist-upgrade failure,could not download repository indexes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193879 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The session was Xclient script This bug was solved with two steps I Started from scratch on a usb to pinpoint the problem with the same added sources I got an update icon when debian was added Which gave a partial, then failed upgrade notification I checked the list of upgrades, they were primarily the replacement of debian unstable packages with the ubuntu version. There were also packages listed which were not to be upgraded I unmarked all added 3rd party sources. The prime culprit was debian Etch. When they were removed some irreconcilable upgrades were removed from the upgrade. Any programs that were listed but not upgraded were upgraded in synaptic package manager, where some conflicts, and dependency issues could be resolved. The upgrades for the irreconcilable programs would not upgrade in synaptic either, those were the programs that disappeared from the upgrade when the 3rd party sources were removed. -- dist-upgrade failure,could not download repository indexes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193879 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 193879] Re: dist-upgrade failure, could not download repository indexes
There is another thing I that I think I contributed to the failure When I added Kubuntu and Edubuntu to 3rd party they offered upgrades. I'm sure I upgraded with edubuntu, but when I added kubuntu I didn't upgrade. The system and disks have all been 7.10, but since there hasn't been an upgrade, as it is seen as a source now. in var/lib/apt/cdrom.list.distUpgrade Kubuntu is mentioned. CD::e032efd736b74e8c1b9387dca955a778-2 "Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)"; CD::e032efd736b74e8c1b9387dca955a778-2::Label "Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)"; CD::8aaf4197d875581ff2ee8404b51d9932-2 "Kubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016.1)"; CD::8aaf4197d875581ff2ee8404b51d9932-2::Label "Kubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016.1)"; in software sources, the release number was quoted, and said upgrades from CD cannot be downloaded I went to terminal /media/ apt-cdrom add which was suggested in the box which came up after I reloaded software and the kubuntu disc number was included. I think the update manager is trying upgrade, when I might have to work out how to do it in terminal. I might get out of Xscript and go into a kde session . Since I added debian40r2 Synaptic has dropped its 23000 packages, and when the disks are unmarked, there are about 3000. There are over 20,000 on the disks, so the only worry is that some of the packages that can't be downloaded are in security and updates I think Etch has replaced the download sources out of the box.-There would have been a lot of doubling up otherwise.

This last comment before the 'bug' is put to sleep. Unless you have any more questions, advice, or directions.

There is likely however to be an automatic ubuntu distro upgrade in update-manager when Hardy is released in April, which will be over anything that is a particularly ultimate package.

Of course there is an ultimate-upgrade icon on the desktop, but as far as I know it's only an icon at the moment. When the upgrade was done, repoubuntu.info source in 3rd party was disabled.

Public bug reported: I have tracker and tracker-search tool 0.6.3-0ubuntu3 The bug report details said trere was no such package,but it's in synaptic, and on my system. on a Ubuntu ultimate 1.7 7.10 with a number of other distros kde,enlightenment,gnome, and edbuntu running on the same kernel.I've had 8 DVDs and 1CD as 3rd party sources. I have a 8.04 on a USB(haven't been able to boot iton the USB yet) and 3 virtual machines a few system backups Of 214GB space, there is about 130 GB used With 2 USBs I just did a disk usage analysis of my home folder and the tracker folder in ./cache was 587.6 with 33 items (I restore a lot) The biggest files include file-index.db 123 MB file-contents.db 63.2 MB file-meta.db 18 MB The file-index.db before restore was 1.9 MB 19 jan 10.1, about 90 MB on 19 Feb in all the large files list 7 restores, and 1 current, starting at 6 Jan. I can understand tracker having a lot to keep track of, but I never use it. Why does it need all of those restores? surely they're history. besides which it can't find things I know are there The main problem is as a result I've used it twice just then to look for programs I know are installed and it tells me there are no results. Another problem may be I installed with partition all root ( I have access user and fat partitions without sudo or gksudo I checked java, because there are jave programs at home, so perhaps it can only show me files to which I have r/w access. If this is so, why does the cache need to be in my home folder. As a result I have learned to improve or take notes with a text file. I know I can solve the problem to a point by sending obsolete files to the trash (At least thats easy at home) but I am curious as to why for example there are 548 files recorded for xfractint (It's an ms-dos program, not in applications) for example and all it will show me are a text and an odt file I copied from usr/share/docs ? Of course it's probably listing a lot of files before restore, like the ones in it's cache if there are 'preferences' I might confuse it and put the cache on a USB. that will confuse it. By the way it's another bug I know, but the disk label and device number don't change, UUID doesn't change unless by the user and the sdc can be a b depending which usb port the external disk is plugged into, The volume's size never changes, just make sizes unique somehow once introduced - can't there just be a tag that doesn't affect the way the system sees the disk that can be changed on the user desktop? There's surely a better way to assign disk numbers than load order. Different disk numbers can be annoying with backup, restore and playlists for data on external drives. And no doubt systems on usb have trouble being loaded If a new system wants to comandeer root, just make a subsidiary root folder on the first system installed. If a new system can update grub, it can update root. I don't know enough about linux or ubunbtu to know if that will work. I Just thought I'd write that while I remember because I don't feel like writing a note. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- /home/pokkets/.cache/tracker is 587.6 MB https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197647 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 197199] [NEW] upgrade-manager -d fails, without configuring packages
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager also related bug 193879 Yesterday I did a sudo update-manager -d from ubuntu ultimate 1.7, 7.10 with xclient script,gnome, and kde to hardy alpha 5. I had also installed edubuntu,gobuntu enlightenment, ichthux, and gobuntu. Because I am getting a new laptop, I wanted to try and find out about as many distros as I could before I made a permanent installation on the new one. The one I have has windows hardware, including graphics, sound and wireless cards. The ultimate 1.7 had a graphics program envy which because of the windows graphics card would not install the drivers. There is a canon mpc190 program in windows but but windows cannot communicate with it. so it is inactive.I have the system loaded with applications, mainly games, because I wanted to check the range. and I've found some of the best programs by accident. The upgrade download continued until there were about 20 files to go and gave some forbidden 403 errors. These seemed to be solved when I switched servers. The programs were then installed. The first suggestion was to send an error report regarding cupsys, there were some pango warnings about georgian fonts. Other failures included things that seemed like hewlett packard program failures, which i thought I could remove intending to install the printer on windows. (I'm letting my brother have this one.) there were things like desktops that were dependent on cupsys. Pulse audio failed I thought because of the sound card. There were also things like ubuntu standard, linux-restricted modules-2.6.24.10-restricted klogd sysklodgd and ubuntu minimal. After 9 hours hardy had had enough and spat the dummy. It refused to clean up after itself and suggested I do it myself. So I decided to play around with it and put it in a tarball when I couldn't get ndiswrapper-1.51 to work -it seemed to work with hardy a3 off the installed off the live disk, but maybe that one wasn't as confused. I'm sure most of these problems will be solved with hardware that isn't so windows biased, but I thought maybe something in the var/log distupgrade will help. The apt.log section of the upfrade is 7000 lines long, but there is a summary in an apt-get install build essential I ran to install the ndiswrapper. It was already installed but it gave me the summary. I've put in the var/log/distUpgrade folder I'm going to archive.

[Bug 193879] Re: dist-upgrade failure, could not download repository indexes
I have no doubt you're rushing to get hardy ready, but what I write can be put in an archive for later or deleted. I'll try and make the attachments to the point. When I lost shut down I tried kubuntu upgrade again.There was a complete upgrade, and reboot I could shut down again. As far as I could tell the system was working I've had no reason to change my mind. I backed up, and went update-manager -d. There are another few bugs with upgrade failures, but my system has a few distros running in parallel, so I'll leave the decision as to whether this next one is a duplicate to someone with better judgment than myself. I'll attach a copy of a build-essential I did here, which seems to have a good summary of the failures, and start a new bug Upgrade-manager reports were sent yesterday Feb29, but you may need more information to put them into context. If you need anything else, I have the restore in a tar backup, and can extract any details you want. It was time to see how Hardy coped with my mongrel of a system. The only thing that really bothered me was being unable to connect the wireless I'm finishing this bug here The original problem seems to have been solved, and this was a gutsy bug. I'll leave a reference to this bug because my system had some unusual qualities. While upgrade-manager suggested I restore my system as it was likely to be unstable, I thought, so am I, .but I replaced it to get wireless back. ** Attachment added: "Build-essential-Hardy-distUpdate-errorList" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12338340/Build-essential-Hardy-distUpdate-errorList -- dist-upgrade failure,could not download repository indexes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193879 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 193879] Re: dist-upgrade failure, could not download repository indexes
I had a look in var/lib/apt/lists The package that had warned DO NOT INSTALL ON A REAL SYSTEM EVER was mentioned. release-upgrade-apt was in synaptic, but it wasn't installed. release-upgrade-dpkg wasn't there. ( I know better now than to get the bright idea to do install THAT.) Sources couldn't verify the signature. Still sometimes an experiment can blow up in your face, sometimes you get penicillin. I'm getting a new laptop in March. You probably know whats in the list, but I'll send a copy. I pasted the lists together on to the one text file.

[Bug 193879] Re: dist-upgrade failure, could not download repository indexes
I knew I could have been asking for trouble with debian 40r2 on ubuntu, but I wanted to know if I could use it as a source if I lost my internet connection Something I hadn't noticed because I was busy going between sessions. Shut down was on the main toolbar, and it went to the logon screen. it stopped at suspend. So I give it the 5 second death count. After the grub screen, I found out busybox wasn't as good as I thought it would be, got stuck at busybox, with an initramfs prompt. Restored and repeated the misery and lost shut down again, I hadn't checked if I got it back. but when I went to sources I found three new entries. http://archive.dogfood.launchpad.net/ ubuntu feisty-backport and two unsupported feisty update sources. I know the archive.dogfood is at launchpad, I had to check, but I don't know where they came from. Maybe I missed them while I was going around in circles. (well..so does a hard drive) I've always got hardyA4 and kde4 on VMplayer. I just noticed KDE4 was at my ISP list. When I noticed the archive.dogfood source, My dog was reminding me I'd been spending too much time on the computer. apt.log wont help it's at the restore date. I know gutsy is getting old.

Maybe this is more than one bug, but I'll leave that with you. This time debian 4.0r2etch was involved I've another solved part of the problem I think Xscript can upgrade kde packages unless something in conflict has to be removed, however adept will in a kde session. Adept won't upgrade gnome for the same reason. xscript doesn't want to get involved. I may have invited this with alien upgrades, Default session is Xscript This is how it went today Tried kubuntu upgrade again, after removing envy. It said there was no upgrade, but there were no errors. reinstalled disks to sources. Left disk sources ticked got another update, packages weren't ticked. 11 I think. Went to kde session, some packages upgraded in adept, reported some packages failed to upgrade. Went into gnome session. 7 packages ticked, busybox, sysvinit, brightside, initramfs-tools, initscripts sysvinit-utils sysvinit failed to upgrade, because it tried to overwrite /usr/share/man/man1/mesg.1.gz which is also in package sysvutils Terminal details: Errors were encountered while processing /cdrom/pool/main/sysvinit-utils_2.86.ds1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code (1) the update failed. Tried again when unmarking svsvinit it auto unmarked sysvinit-utils and init scripts. Busybox, brightside, and initramfs-tools were updated. The packages from the debian disk seem to conflict with each other, but I don't need them on my system, they probably aren't supposed to be there.

I know the var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log is getting to around 11,000 lines now and while it no doubt repeats it's self a fair bit, No doubt I'm telling you a lot you already know, butI hope the additional comments will help the trace, but I'm just trying to work out where the root of the bug is by a process of elimination. If I caused it, it will help me to avoid repeating the mistake. The binary-i386 file was from kubuntu-disk/dists/stable/main/dist-upgrader, and the same file was in Edubuntu which upgraded. . The errors were "Conflicts with installed package dpkg" same with the I don't know if that will show up on the file I sent if it doesn't have access to my system, could be in apt.log somewhere Another problem that might be solved when I get a new laptop. "WARNING:root:envy detected, trying to workaround" right at the bottom paragraph. I have an 'obsolete' Windows graphics card that is locked into the laptop it can't be upgraded. Micrisoft are doing their utmost to get a monopoly-but that's an entirely different bug. Envy came out of the box with ultimate 1.7, and the drivers wont install without nvidia, or ati . I thought I'd taken it out, but I just did so. It can wait until I get a dual core with a decent graphics card. While you can't serve two masters, a server can have two masters - Perhaps Ubuntu and Mandriva. As long as one of them isn't microsoft They want to keep peoples minds in the box.

[Bug 193879] Re: dist-upgrade failure, could not download repository indexes
I went into a kde session, and saw aptitude. I thought all upgrades were done in the xscript by update manager. Aptitude did an upgrade but it also removed ichthux desktop and xine. I went back into xscript, restored an earlier etc/apt var/log/apt and tried to update kubuntu again. The error was "System was unable to get the prerequisites for the upgrade" and suggested I send the folder var/log/dist-upgrade I found an error on the disk, and have it in the tar file with the var/log/apt folder.

I just got another partial upgrade notification 5 packages were listed, and one could not be installed kaffeine0.8.5 to-0ubuntu1 to 0.8.6-ubuntu3~gutsy1 I went to synaptic and found the package I had and tried the upgrade from there. It said kaffeine-xine and ichthux desktop would be removed. There has been conflict between ichthux-desktop, and kde before. This was in google. Bug #151601 in ichthux-meta (Ubuntu): ags: gutsy Ichthux-desktop currently requires xkeyboard-config which is a transitional package, and thus no longer needed.

[Bug 193879] Re: dist-upgrade failure, could not download repository indexes
This comment is fairly 'verbose' and strays from the original bug report a fair bit, but the bug seems to have been self inflicted. I know there is the basic warning 'read the help files' , but I would rather learn, than be educated. I hope it can tie up some loose ends. When decided to go Linux, I also decided to get a new laptop, so it didn't matter if I ruined any part of it, even the hardware. Having since learned that is unlikely, if the original install disks are available. and some key programs are kept on a flash drive (an ndiswrapper that works with the particular Kernel and inf files, for example) I also thought while learning the 'hard way' can be very annoying, that fact usually made the lessons clearer. I've guessed wrong a lot, but usually the screw up has helped me find the place to look in the ubuntu community pages for the answer. I may also have come up with some conclusions now that are wrong, but I hope someone can point them out in case any new users consider them to be advice. The problem dawned on me this morning . I probably threw a spanner in the Kernel. Edubuntu probably upgraded the Kernel (backwards?) There had been an upgrade to ultimate 1.7 since it was installed. Still, by trial and error I learned a few things. 1)Before any upgrade unmark any 3rd party sources. I had heard that before but was reminded when the Edubuntu upgrade disabled them automatically. However now I have Edubuntu in the session list, and the toolbar under system - 'about Edubuntu' (20071017?) and perhaps that is a sign I have a lot to learn. 2) When adding a source disk, if the disk is inserted before the 'add' tab in software sources is clicked, or return is hit in terminal apt-cdrom add, the option to upgrade is offered. (If there is a different kernel on the disk?) There is also the option to open with package manager, but so far the other place I have tried to add with the most recent reinstallation was within synaptic, which may be the same thing. Press return, or add and then it asks for the disk to be inserted. I don't know if it can degrade the kernel, but kubuntu would also have tried to upgrade the kernel. Upgrade and add are two completely different programs. It helps if the kernel is both more recent, and compatible with the system. 3) When all else fails backup home/settings with sbackup, and and start from scratch with a reinstall. It helps to get a root tar file from before trying something new and reinstall the system. etc, var, and usb local are in the defaults in sbackup, and I know the var apt cache has debian packages but games are in usr games and after a restore with srestore some of the titles were included as installed but the applications hadn't been restored. Add/remove programs couldn't find them to remove them but synaptic solved the problem after I removed them completely. and reinstalled. I may only have had to reinstall a lot of them. The restores seemed to hang, maybe I cut restore too early but after 12 hours I thought there may have been a problem. The tar backup.tgz in terminal is verbose, so it can be clear when the restore has finished Now I try and have a root back upon it's own partition, preferably on it's own disk - I have a few usb hard drives from 80-120GB one of the reasons I have had to learn to back up- trying to install a system on a usb drive.- using a 40GB Acer Extensa 2355XC laptop. So far I haven't been able to, but read somewhere that the ubuntu kernel had trouble loading and booting USB external hard drive systems, Will the Hardy kernel have any problem? could be something to do with the way partitions on USB can be assigned different disk names after a reboot, a cold boot, or an unmount/remount,i.e. a partition that was on disk-1, can end up on disk 6 I might see if I can find a bug report with this problem or make a new one. I found out how to make a kernel for a boot cd but have had trouble burning a CD R/W It could also be the hardware which is for a windows system. I might try a burn in windows. I took the advice of the tar backup restore page in ubuntu community excluding proc, mnt, sys, and I exclude media for the sake of the files on the usb including backup.tgz and files that won't fit on the laptop drive, and dev, because I am always editing the partitions so the uuid changes. After I reinstall the system I also sbackup grub, fstab, and mtab. to be restored after the system restore and before reboot. - but it can also be restored with an ultimate live cd, no doubt amongst others. I learned to do this before I learned enough about grub ,fstab, and mtab, to fix them with gksudo gedit, but it gave me the incentive to learn. Of course while I have been given reason to learn by trial and error, the advice and suggestions of both the ubuntu community advice/questions and forum advice questions has been invaluable. Most questions have been answered before I had to ask
[Bug 193879] Re: dist-upgrade failure, could not download repository indexes
There was a failure with the Kubuntu upgrade. I did a backup.tgz excluding etc/apt, and var/lib/apt, and reinstalled the system. The Edubuntu upgrade was good Then Kubuntu failed. 20071016.1 worked, 20071016 didn't It may have been an upgrade for feisty or it may have conflicted with the kde on 1.7. When I added the disk to sources the upgrade option came up I now know this was another program.Since I've gone to terminal added the disks at the prompt, and added edubuntu, Kubuntu, and the 4 debian etch disks. synaptic had 24000 packages, but in sources there was trouble getting a lock. I didn't know why it wouldn't fix on the lock, but I thought maybe it was because I added disks in terminal before I used software sources. I deleted the lock figuring debian may have changed it and pulled a lock out of an early sbackup. it seemed to work. It had trouble finding a server, but that may have been the connection. I'm going to forget about kubuntu Ultimate 1.7 has a kde environment, and if I find debian etch conflicts, I'll just pull the packages out of the pool and set up a personal repository on another partition. I'm not sure if it was a bug as much as operator error, but I was curious about the kind of disks that could be added, and maybe Kubuntu upgrade was designed for feisty, not when introduced to a gutsy system.
