Adept-crash [Solved]

[GoofyGutt]

After a failed install, Adept wont start.

From the start: I tried to install LimeWire, it required additional 2 packages to be installed first, two sun-java6 packages.

Both package installs ended in error, causing the LimeWire install to abort.
So I downloaded LimeWire again to see what the package names was, and install them trough Adept Manager instead.

I found the packages, and started the installation, but forgot to close the limewire installation window first. The Adept install stopped somehow, cant remember exactly what happened actually, but I closed both windows, and when I now start Adept Manager, it says :

Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude).
Would you like to attempt to resolve this problem? No will enter read-only mode and Cancel to quit and resolve this issue yourself.

The crash handler popped up somehow, and the only thing that seemed interresting was these lines:

What to do?

Re: Adept-crash

To fix Adept errors:

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

For Gutsy Installations:

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. If you still have problems, open a console and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Re: Adept-crash

Thanks alot for a very quick answer! It helped alot.

When we're on it, I still got an error while trying to install sun-java6-bin

There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.

This message has popped up several times before. Is it an error? Something I should worry about?

Re: Adept-crash

You're being told, that if the installation proceded, it would cause a breakage in one or more other packages already installed on your system. Are you sure that the version of java you are attempting to install (sun-java6-bin) is actually the compatible version you need?

Re: Adept-crash

All I know is that it is needed for LimeWire to work.

Re: Adept-crash

Part of the problem is with the sun-java6-bin package. It requires an acknowledgment to the license. If you were trying to install limewire using Adept Manager, this window would have popped up behind Adept and you wouldn't have seen it. Try installing sun-java6-bin from the comand line. Open a console and type:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin

Assuming this does work, you will be presented with the license agreement window (see http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...6594#msg126594). Ensure that the window is active by clicking on the title bar. Then press the Tab key to highlight the <Ok> and then press Enter to continue.

Re: Adept-crash

Thanks alot, it's all good.

Is this License Agreement trough Konsole a commn problem within other packages as well?

Re: Adept-crash

Software that has a license agreement requiring user acknowledgment would (most likely) present this same problem. Many who know about this, and still opt to install via Adept Manager, minimize it's window after clicking on Apply Changes so that any such 'background' windows can be seen and responded to.
