| JEFFfrazerWITHth | anyone awake? | 10:50 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | im having a problem with the Canonical partners repository | 10:50 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | the IP for it is listed as in ireland so i though id ask here if anyone else has had the same problem | 10:51 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | just trying to install flash on my liveUSB copy of Backbox2 | 10:52 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | (dont ask) | 10:52 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flash-properties-gtk_11.1.102.55-0natty1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.191 80] | 10:52 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | Been like that since yesterday, so im guessing its not so much a common problem, as maybe the OS is out of date, and has a bad link to the repository... should i, how do i point it to the right server? | 10:53 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | appreciate any help if anyone comes back to the keyboard | 10:54 |
| ebel | JEFFfrazerWITHth: how are you trying to install it? | 11:10 |
| ebel | Have you done an "aptitude update"? | 11:10 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | aptitude? as in upt-get update? | 11:11 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | *apt | 11:11 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | yes, i tried that but it relies on the same server ultimately | 11:11 |
| ebel | Those packages/files might have been removed (if there's a newer version), and your system might think that those files are still there | 11:12 |
| ebel | yes "apt-get update" aswell | 11:12 |
| ebel | that will download the new and up to date file list | 11:12 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | is there a way to reconfigure the server it asks for? i have tried it with an IP in the UK (neighbouring the irish canonical server) but i have also tried it with a south american IP and it still went for the same server, so its not auto... | 11:13 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | running sudo apt-get update now... | 11:13 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | ok, that completed successufly | 11:14 |
| ebel | what makes you think that's an irish server? | 11:14 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | i who-is'd the IP its in ireland | 11:14 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | oh, damn | 11:14 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | sorry no its in isle of man | 11:15 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | completely slipped my mind as i did it yesterday\ | 11:15 |
| ebel | No, that's just the company's address | 11:15 |
| ebel | not where the server is | 11:15 |
| ebel | from a traceroute my guess is that that server is physically in london | 11:15 |
| ebel | that's a canonical block | 11:15 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | ok maybe i should try just to check if i get the same result | 11:16 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | but then again i probably will as im getting the same IP wherever i try from | 11:16 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | (using vidalia and firefox) | 11:16 |
| ebel | in general, ubuntu/debian apt repositories are mirrored to provide load balancing, however it's unlikely that the canonical partner one is | 11:17 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | so, would you consider trying to install something random from the canonical list and see if you share the same problem? maybe list the IP it connects to to download../ | 11:17 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | > provide load balancing ... yeah i thought it would | 11:18 |
| ebel | it's (legally) very easy to run an mirror of FLOSS software, since there is no copyright concerns | 11:18 |
| ebel | not so with non-FLOSS stuff in there | 11:18 |
| ebel | did you get the same result after the "apt-get update" ? | 11:19 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | i will try | 11:19 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | wow, i think it worked but i will just have to check with youtube or something brb | 11:20 |
| ebel | ☺ | 11:21 |
| ebel | I've seen that problem happen before. | 11:21 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | i know you must hear this a million times, but thanks it worked | 11:21 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | i have no idea why it failed to help yesterday, maybe i did things in the wrong order... meh | 11:22 |
| ebel | Basically your computer thought there was a file/package available for download that wasn't there | 11:22 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | thanks a lot buddy | 11:22 |
| ebel | so if you do the update it'll update the list of available software, and the URLs and the filenames, versions etc. | 11:22 |
| ebel | they don't usually keep all the old versions of software available for download on all the servers | 11:22 |
| ebel | Happy to help | 11:23 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | so with this OS i just have to apt-get update and then i can use the package manager, brilliant. you've really helped out a noob, i will learn linux properly one day, but in the meantime there are nice folk like you muddling us noobs through | 11:23 |
| ebel | If you use the Ubuntu Software Centre it should do that automatically | 11:23 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | it didn't though | 11:24 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | never done it with any other OS and i've tried about a dozen different flavours about 4 of them ubuntu based | 11:24 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | i tried submitting a bug report to the backbox team but i had to register to do so, i didn't, i might go back and register and contribute | 11:25 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | anyway. have a nice day ebel thanks again | 11:26 |
| JEFFfrazerWITHth | o/ | 11:26 |
