[13:33] good morning everyone [13:44] good morning! [14:27] Hi! New installation of Edubuntu 11.04... so new in fact, the server is still cooling down from all the work... [14:28] I configured http_proxy and ftp_proxy in /etc/profile [14:29] Logged in again via SSH so the variables get set [14:29] Run apt-get install thunderbird [14:29] "E: Encountered a section with no Package: header" [14:30] Looked online, saw something about removing /var/lib/apt/lists/*, which didn't help. Also saw something about exchanging /var/lib/dpkg/status-old and status... no luck either [14:30] Anymore suggestions? :) [14:30] It also says to try aptitude by the way, which would be great if it was installed. :) [14:31] Also: "W: GPG error: http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com natty InRelease: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2" [14:36] This is when I run apt-get as root, by the way... as user it doesn't connect, not even a little.... even though the proxy settings are ok. :/ [14:36] * Hyperbyte is confused. [14:39] hey Hyperbyte [14:40] what does your http_proxy say? I had a problem like that before when I didn't have a slash at the end of the proxy line [14:40] (like http_proxy="http://user:pass@host:port" instead of http_proxy="http://user:pass@host:port/" [14:40] ) [14:41] Oh, hi-ghvoltage. :) [14:41] Nice to see you here as well [14:42] declare -x ftp_proxy="http://192.168.100.1:3128/" [14:42] declare -x http_proxy="http://192.168.100.1:3128/" [14:42] declare -x https_proxy="http://192.168.100.1:3128/" [14:42] (wget works, so proxy config should be ok) [14:43] You know you'd make my day if you'd help me fix this. [14:47] I've implemented LTSP with Fedora and I'm running into all sorts of problems. [14:47] So insanely big problems it needs fixing -now-, or so the boss says... he's right though, not just pushing me. [14:47] Thing is - Fedora sucks with LTSP. In fact, I'd go as far as to say Fedora's GUI and the support that comes with it, is insanely bad. [14:47] So I've decided to switch to Edubuntu overnight (yes, I'm planning to work through the night if needed)... and get rid of Fedora [14:47] I'm not gonna get very far if I can't get this apt-get thing working though... so it would mean insanely much to me if you could help me fix this. :) [14:47] http://secondary.recreatie-zorg.nl/jan/aptget.png [14:47] That's the full 'apt-get update' output, which some stuff missing at the top, but it spits out of a lot of stuff [14:47] *with [14:47] I think you could make a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d that would contain Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.100.1:3128/" that might work [14:47] (well, that's what I would try anyway) [14:51] Hmm... [14:52] Hyperbyte is lagging behind for some reason. :| [14:52] Did I miss anything? [14:53] maybe [14:53] 09:52 < highvoltage> I think you could make a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d that would contain Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.100.1:3128/" that might work [14:53] 09:53 < highvoltage> (well, that's what I would try anyway) [14:53] I feel a netsplit coming up by the way... some major lag here... [14:54] Wow. I typed that 5 minutes ago [14:54] root@terminaltest:~# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20proxy [14:54] Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.100.1:3128/" [14:54] root@terminaltest:~# apt-get update [14:54] E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20proxy:2: Extra junk at end of file [14:55] maybe it doesn't want a newline or maybe there's whitespace at the end of the line [14:56] I guess the :2 is indicative of a newline [14:56] I checked, there isn't. [14:56] Checked with vi to make sure [14:57] Semicolon missing. [14:57] :) [14:57] Fixed that, same error. [14:57] It looks like it has no trouble finding my proxy actually... [14:58] ah [14:58] It's downloading even, so it says... it says there's a problem with some package or list or whatever [14:58] Hah, was waiting for that. [14:58] do you have lzma installed? [14:58] Yessir. [14:59] ok, looking at your screenshot it seems to have trouble with decoding lzma, but that could just be because the files its getting is 0b [15:00] can't think of anything weird that we do in edubuntu that would cause that, it might be a good idea to ask in #ubuntu too fwiw [15:03] Just did that. [15:31] stgraber: didn't you use to be able to log in as a guest user from GDM? [15:32] highvoltage: nope, you can't [15:32] highvoltage: you can only start a guest session from an existing user session [15:32] pity. [15:32] it's certainly doable to have it in gdm, it just wasn't done for security reason
