[Solved]Adept Installer

[blackjack72]

After my first installation,while I was doing my initial 129 updates, the adept installer gave me the error message "unable to commit changes". Each time that I try to install other items from the ad/remove programs menu, I get the same message. Some of the new features are installed but I still get the same message. It appears that some core updates are causing this but I'm not sure. Additionally when the error dialog appears, I get the option to try and rectify the problem. When I click yes to attempt this, I get a crash message. I have not sent the bug report primarily because I'm not sure who to send a bug report to. Thanks in advance for any advice that anyone can offer.

This seems to be a common, albeit benign problem in gusty installs. The solution:

Re: Adept Installer

I tried that command and it didn't help. Will I get a response if I type the command correctly? I'm thinking that maybe I put in too many spaces.

Re: Adept Installer

If this is a 'fresh' intall, then you need to ensure that you have the repositories enabled, and that you have the cdrom repository disabled/deleted.

Open Adept Manager (K Menu | System | Adept Manger) and click on Adept | Manage Repositories. On the first tab, check all items (you don't need the last item checked unless you intend to download source files for compiling). On the Third-Party Software tab uncheck/delete the cdrom repository entry. Close the window. If Adept doesn't automatically fetch updates, click on Fetch Updates. You will now have access to the thousands of available packages.

Then, open a console and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

should fix it, else continue with

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install

Re: Adept Installer

try

sudo aptitude

It's a package manager in text mode, but not commandline. If there's something broken, it should see the uncommited changes - press 'g' once to see if there are any changes - if there are (a package propably needs to be configured) it will show up in a list - press 'g' again to commit - it will start some text output - paste it here so we can see what the problem is.

Alternatively, you can also simply post the last, say, 20 - 50 lines of /var/log/dpkg.log - Any error should be recorded there.

Re: Adept Installer

Sorry guys, I was trying to enter the command in the run dialog not a Konsole. I did it right now and I'll let you know how it worked.

Go to your original post (first on the thread), click the "Modify" button, then enter "SOLVED" in front of the title.
