HELP!

[Pyranima]

I cannot upgrade my Kubuntu and I have tried everything I have read on here. help somebody suggest something new before I throw my machine.

Re: HELP!

Wow...now THERE'S an informative subject!

Scenario 1: You are trying to upgrade from a previous Kubuntu version (Fiesty, Edgy, Dapper etc)

If upgrading isn't working, your best option is simply to get a kubuntu install disk and make a fresh install. Backup your files, but I would advise NOT backing up configuration, to be safe, since the desired config can change between distributions.

Also, do not expect to be able to upgrade from anything earlier than Fiesty - if you currently have Dapper or Edgy, you WILL need to do a fresh instal

Scenario 2: You are trying to update the current version.

In this case, please run (in Konsole)

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

copy and paste the output of all of those here.

Yep. That's what you'll get when the command is typed incorrectly.

Type:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Note the space after 'cat' and before '/etc/apt/sources.list'

Re: HELP!

You're getting signature errors, but that shouldn't stop you getting the package lists.

Looks to me like your system is up-to-date, nothing TO upgrade! Unless you know something to the contrary. I don't know off the top of my head what versions to check to test that.

Also

fnx@FNXII:~$ sudo apt-get update
<snip>
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

that's one of the less helpful error messages around....

What is not making any sense to me is what the guy above me pointed out when i run sudo apt-get update it says "W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems"

I cant activate firefox and many other programs in the adept installer under add/remove. I am about to just junk it and go back to my previous version unless someone can tell me how to fix all this.

Re: HELP!

Your sources.list is only showing two repositories that are 'active' (not commented out with the # symbol). If you open Adept Manager (K Menu | System | Adept Manager) and click on Adept | Manage Repositories you can re-enable the other repositories.

In the Kubuntu Software tab, check (click in the box to put an X) all but the Source Code items.

In the Third-Party Software tab check (click in the box to put an X) any of the listed items. Note: If 'medibuntu' is identified in any of the Software Sources, ensure that they reflect http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free
If you also have the Source Code repository for medibuntu ensure it reflects http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free (Source Code)

In the Updates tab ensure that Important security updates is checked and Check for Updates is checked and set to Daily. I have choose to have Only notify about available updates checked.

With these changes made, close the window and then close Adept Manager. Open a console shell and type:

sudo apt-get update

When it's finished, close the shell and reopen Adept Manager. You should be told you have updates. Tell it to fetch the updates. When it's done, I ALWAYS preview what it says it wants to update.

Re: HELP!

Let it run. It can take some time. Go have a beer or two (if your old enough!). This is where some get impatient and quit the process, thus, making a mess of things again.
