Re: [LIS-Forum] ubutu help

Dear Sudip If u are under a proxy, set the proxy and port in network proxy setting (System > Preference > Network Proxy). You need to be a sudoer. If u are connected directly, pl ensure that option is checked (by default). Now come to Synaptic Package Manager (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)) and do the followings - 1> Come to SPM > Setting > Repositories and check all the source under ubuntu software; 2> Come to SPM > Setting > Repositories and check all the source under other software; 3> Select Download from Main Server (in the same window) 4> Come to SPM > Setting > preferences and go to Network tab to set manual proxy (if under a proxy) or Direct connection to Internet (if u r connected directly); 5> Now click Reload button (in the menu bar of SPM; Voila. That's it. Now u can install by using apt-get command e.g. sudo apt-get install gpaint (to install GNUPaint) Hope this will do Dr. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay Department of Library and Information Science University of Burdwan, Burdwan, Rajbati - 713104, WB

Dear professional collegues,

Do anyone using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)? It is working fine except its latest update manager. I could not able to update 9.10 to 10.04 LTS because its install button is not activated which is supposed to. Even I could not able to install few required software. It's software source download server is not pining from any server. When checking its update manager showing "an error occurred" with following details.
