    Problems with Adept in Intrepid [SOLVED]

    I recently upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04, and yesterday I was using Adept to install a couple of pieces of software, it worked just fine. This morning, it crashed, and now it simply won't start. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Re: Problems with Adept in Intrepid

    To fix Adept errors:
    Open a console and type:
    Code:
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    should fix it, else continue with
    Code:
    sudo apt-get clean
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

      Re: Problems with Adept in Intrepid

      Thanks much for the tip. Unfortunately, after typing "sudo apt-get update", I get this message:

      "E: Malformed line 84 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist)"

      Any idea what this means?

        Re: Problems with Adept in Intrepid

        Yep, it means that line 84 in your /etc/apt/sources.list is incorrect. Your /etc/apt/sources.list contains all the repositories which your system has access to.

        You can either open it as root and adjust it yourself (type "kdesudo kate" on the command line - once you have opened the file in kate press F11 to display line numbers) or post the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list here

          I tried commenting out line 84, and it worked, but at the end of the update I got this message:

          W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>

          W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/Release

          W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
          W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

          I then did apt-get install, and now Adept seems to be working fine.
          What do the above errors mean?

          Thanks again for your help, I am grateful.

            I am intrigued as to what king of /etc/apt/sources.list you have, could you post it here?

                Re: Problems with Adept in Intrepid

                Right, you've got a bunch of stuff there from Gutsy still. You may want to consider retiring your version by doing a
                Code:
                mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list~
                Here is my pristine version of a new install, squeaky clean, safe and secure:

                If you try that followed by a
                Code:
                sudo apt-get update
                you should have no problems whatsoever

                PS.: And if you fancy having OpenOffice3 you may want to append the following:

                # OpenOffice3
                deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main
                deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main
                (I think you have to do a "sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" afterwards)

                  mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list~
                  This renames my sources.list so that Kubuntu doesn't use it, but still keeps it around, right? Should I just copy and paste your sources.list for myself, or will the above command generate a new one for me?

                  Thanks so much for all your fast and very helpful responses.

                    Re: Problems with Adept in Intrepid

                    The mv command stands for move. You are correct in assuming that it will still be around for you just in case The tilda is the default backup symbol - have a look in konqueror/dolphin and you will find your file with a recycling icon.

                    To make the new one open a root kate (kdesudo kate), select and paste my sources.list and finally save as /etc/apt/sources.list

                    And as for the responses - let's hope they work
