[21:06] So, here is my question: I'm running 11.10 on a virtual machine using VMware (Win 7 host) and I'm having trouble with the network connection. The host machine is connected wirelessly, and that's working fine. Within the virtual ubuntu machine, some internet things are working - for example, I can browse using Firefox, no problem. However, I can't get the software centre to download any programs. Specifically, I'm trying to install Wine, but [21:06] I can't get the software centre to download any apps. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? [21:07] thanks s-fox [21:07] Guest63056, Can you open a terminal? [21:07] Guest63056, enter: software-center [21:07] Guest63056, Please post any errors [21:08] How do I open a terminal? I know I've done that before. [21:08] Alt+F2 [21:08] Then enter: gnome-terminal [21:10] OK, so typing software-center just makes the software center run. [21:11] And that's fine, but I get the same problem. [21:11] What errors are coming up when you try to download (look back in the terminal output) [21:12] softwarecenter.backend - ERROR - error in _on_trans_finished 'Error: None [21:13] The pop-up says "Failed to download package files - check your internet connection". [21:14] Perhaps it is your source that is down. Anyone else got any ideas? @ room in general [21:15] What does that mean? I figure it's gotta be a configuration problem with the virtual machine into the host internet connection, but the browser works from within Ubuntu, so I'm not sure. [21:16] Also, when I start software center, there's a line that says: softwarecenter.backend.reviews - WARNING - Could not get usefulness frmo server, no username in config file. [21:17] Failing the software center, is there some other way to download apps and install them into Ubuntu, perhaps using the browser and a direct download, then install? [21:18] Guest63056: it depends on the software... [21:18] Wine. [21:20] nlsthzn, Here are the logs for before you joined the discussion - http://paste.ubuntu.com/721096/ [21:20] nlsthzn: Here's the original problem. I'm running 11.10 on a virtual machine using VMware (Win 7 host) and I'm having trouble with the network connection. The host machine is connected wirelessly, and that's working fine. Within the virtual ubuntu machine, some internet things are working - for example, I can browse using Firefox, no problem. However, I can't get the software centre to download any programs. Specifically, I'm trying to insta [21:20] ll Wine, but I can't get the software center to download any apps. [21:21] Haha, we had the same thought. :) [21:21] Guest63056: thanks [21:21] s-fox: thanks also :) [21:22] to install wine you could try in terminal "sudo apt-get install wine" however there is an underlying issue with your software center that also needs fixing [21:24] That terminal command worked. [21:24] it would be good if the software center also worked, though, you're right. [21:24] Guest63056: do me a favour and in terminal do "sudo apt-get update" [21:24] and see what it does/says [21:24] it's installing wine. [21:24] I'll do it straight after. [21:25] ah ok... when that is done then :) [21:27] Much scrolling, and then W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net oneiric Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5a9a06aef9cb8db0 [21:31] Guest63056: well all of your software sources except one is now updated... what we could do is to update your system then try the software center (this is the easy no-troubleshooting involved hope it fixes my problem way)... [21:31] has worked for me before :) [21:31] Update to what? [21:32] Guest63056: if there has been any bugfixes or security updates you can use "sudo apt-get upgrade" to install them... [21:32] So it was the sources after all ;-) Not a bad guess. [21:33] So I'm doing that. [21:34] Guest63056: after that try the software center again and lets see if we get the same error... [21:39] It appears to work! [21:39] Guest63056: \o/ awesome [21:39] Excellent, thanks! :) [21:39] * nlsthzn bows down to s-fox 's wisdom [21:40] I am glad it is now working Guest63056 [21:40] Thanks a bunch! Now to figure out the other stuff. :) [21:42] Guest63056: well, figure away and once you got it come back again and share some of your wisdom ;) [21:43] The other stuff is mostly virtual-machine stuff, not ubuntu stuff. [22:23] eyadof: tell me, how big is your ram and swap ? [22:23] what video card ? [22:23] خن [22:23] ok [22:23] what version of Ubuntu > [22:24] ubuntu 11.10 [22:24] 4 GB ram [22:24] 4 GB swap too [22:24] ATI radeom [22:25] Try a swap partition of say 4.1 - 4.5 Gb [22:25] just a bit larger [22:25] ok [22:25] what hapens when you sleep / suspend ?

[22:27] this word not applicable [22:27] appear after some process [22:29] Not sure if that is a problem or not, but ... [22:29] mv /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/disabled/99video [22:29] If that does not fix it, move it back [22:30] looking... I think there is a special ATI issue with some laptops... [22:30] is it a laptop or desktop? [22:30] laptop [22:30] it was working good [22:30] but today [22:31] this appear [22:32] bodhi_zazen i will try this and i will back soon [22:33] bodhi_zazen: did we get a model of video card? [22:33] you can look here as well : http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=48402 [22:33] no cprofitt , just that it is ati [22:33] k [22:34] can try suspend without the ati driver , see if that may be the culprit [22:34] I am curious if he has proprietary or open ATI driver too [22:34] Feel free to take it from here if there is something you know about ati [22:37] ok [22:38] it dosen't work :( [22:38] bodhi_zazen: I saw something, but can not find it right now [22:38] it was a report about getting ATI to work though [22:40] but I can't find it [22:40] eyadof1: do you know what model of ATI? [22:40] yes : ATI mobility random HD 5470 512 MB [22:41] is that ok [22:42] yes,... let me look some more [22:42] did you load proprietary drivers or are you still on the open source drivers?
