    Adept help

    Hi, new guy here

    When i installed gutsy, it gave me thie message, "The security updates on security.ubuntu.com could not be accessed, so these updates will not be made available at this time. You should investigate this later.
    Commented out entries for security.ubuntu.com have been added to the /etc/apt/sources.list

    So other than that, the install was fine, so i proceeded once it rebooted after the install, and un-commented out the entries with no problem, and added other repositories whilst i was there. But it doesn't seem to work, adpet recognises the added repositories and even recognises the updates available, but adept can't download them, it just sits there "waiting for headers"
    A couple of things which might help someone...erm...help me!
    sudo apt-get update gives me:
    "Err http://ppa.launchpad.net gutsy Release.gpg
    Could not connect to ppa.launchpad.net:80 (1.0.0.0), connection timed out
    Err http://archive.canonical.com gutsy Release.gpg
    Could not connect to archive.canonical.com:80 (1.0.0.0), connection timed out
    Err http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security Release.gpg
    Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:80 (1.0.0.0), connection timed out
    Err http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy Release.gpg
    Could not connect to nz.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (1.0.0.0), connection timed out     etc etc

    Struck me as strange that the IP is 1.0.0.0, so i attempted to find out more about this and got some help from a friend to change this, we did something with nemo(?!) i think it was and changed it to the IP it should be, but it was weird because it would save the new IP fine but would just randomly revert back to 1.0.0.0

    Ok, i think i have typed out everything i have attempted to do so far. Now, please remember, i am newb at this so be gentle with the explainations and help
    but, help me pllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease i just want to get it working properly!!!!

      Check K Menu | System | Adept Manager | Adept | Manger Repositories

      On the first tab, ensure that all repositories are checked (you don't need the last one checked, unless you desire/intend to download source files for compiling). On the Third-Party Software tab, ensure that the cdrom repository is unchecked/removed.

              Re: Adept help

              I'm going to suggest that you replace your current sources.list file. You can do this 'safely' as follows:

              Open a console and type:
              Code:
              sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_ORIGINAL
kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list
              Once the blank file is open, paste the following into it:
              # Automatically generated sources.list
              # http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
              #
              # If you get GPG errors with this sources.list, locate the GPG key in this file
              # and run these commands (where KEY is replaced with that key)
              #
              # gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys KEY
              # gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -
              #
              # If you don't know what to do with this file, read
              # https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Re...es/CommandLine

              # Ubuntu supported packages
              # GPG key: 437D05B5
              deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted
              deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates main restricted
              deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-security main restricted

              # Ubuntu community supported packages
              # GPG key: 437D05B5
              deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty universe multiverse
              deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates universe multiverse
              deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-security universe multiverse

              # Medibuntu multimedia packages
              # GPG key: 0C5A2783
              deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ feisty free non-free
              Save and close the file. Then, in a console, type:
              Code:
              sudo apt-get update
              This will update the package cache base on the replaced sources.list file. See if this doesn't improve your situation.

                Re: Adept help

                ok did that, but when i punched in kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list it open up kate, but terminal spat out these lines too,
                Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-richie" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.

                Error: "/tmp/kde-richie" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.

                Error: "/tmp/ksocket-richie" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.


                I did sudo apt-get update and it does the same as its been doing, just sits at

                0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (1.0.0.0)] [Connecting to security.ubun

                then after a good 10 minutes for each one it gives me

                Could not connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com (1.0.0.0), connection timed out

                so, any more ideas

                  Re: Adept help

                  You've been using Dolphin as 'root' haven't you? Accessing /etc/apt/sources.list as root with kdesu /etc/apt/sources.list is supposed to open the file 'as root' (which is required) for editing.

                  Try the following. In a console, type:
                  Code:
                  sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list_ORIGINAL /etc/apt/sources.list
kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list
                  and then simply replace the contents with what I previously posted.

                          ignore my earlier post with the fstab - looks like I got subjects mixed up (I put it down to age...)

                          I find it hard to believe that your uids can be so mixed up - anything you want to tell us

                          In order to find out which groups you belong to type "groups" on the command line. The group "admin" should be listed here. A more comprehensive listing is obtained by typing "id" - here you get uids (user ids) and gids (group ids).

                          In your case I'd double check against /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow - but further than that?
                          Once your problem is solved please mark the topic of the first post as SOLVED so others know and can benefit from your experience! / FAQ

                              What stumps me here is that the uid _should_ be 1000 and not root's 0. So why is it complaining?

                              Anyway, if Kate doesn't work welcome to the world of command line editing. Here is what you need to do:

                              First create a new sources.list:
                              Code:
                              sudo touch /etc/apt/sources.list
                              Now select all of the following with your mouse to put it onto your clipboard.

                              Go back to the command line and type
                              Code:
                              sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
                              You are now in vi, a powerful command line editor. Press the "i" key to get into insert mode, move your mouse over the terminal and middle click. This inserts the contents of your clipboard into the file. Now press the escape key to get out of insert mode, type ":" so vi takes commands followed by "wq" which stands for write and quit.

                              Done, your sources.list file is as good as new. Now run
                              Code:
                              sudo apt-get update
                              and take it from there...
