Adept and LiveCD Vs. Install (SOLVED)

[emattman]

See below for original problem, but removing /etc/apt/apt.conf solves the problem!
It apparently tries to setup some sort of proxy garbage and that hoses adept and or apt-get.

Hello Everyone!
To add a note, the same thing under an Ubuntu 6.06 install.....

Just got my Kubuntu 6.06 LTS CD's from shipit!

Ran the LiveCD and everything worked great.  Even installing firefox with adept.

So, I installed.  One error during install.  It said it could not contact the security repositories.  Other than that all went well.

Now, running from the install I can not install ANYTHING.
After hitting "Apply" with a box pops up that says "There was an error commiting changes.  Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages."

Results with apt-get are no better.  When running sudo apt-get update I see all kinds of errors about contacting respositories.  Yet, browsing the internet seems to work fine.  In other words, all networking except adept or apt-get seems to be working fine.  Here is my (default) sources.list:


deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted

Does anyone know why, with a default install I would be having such issues?

Thanks!

Re: Adept and LiveCD Vs. Install (SOLVED)

Hi, Matt
You have most of the repositories disabled. Try this

Open your sources.list in kwrite:

Code
kdesu kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list

Remove # from in front of all lines starting with deb or deb-src

Save and close

Code
sudo apt-get update
then
sudo apt-get upgrade

and you should get all this good new stuff.

Hope this helps
