Is ther something wrong with my repo configured in apt-get or something?

I' running Hardy Hotrod 1.8 32bit and upgraded to gamers edition.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Hey Jeff - It looks like you have been flamboozled by the upgrade script on the desktop. I had this happen to me also. Not a big deal. I've posted about this here: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1402
That will get you straigtend up, I did notice by the output of the terminal (what you've pasted that it looks like you might have had another issue with it as well (the package not wget'ing' the replacement script for you). I wouldn't worry about it. I just recommend you adding the repo address back to your sources.list and going about your business. I see no point in stressing over the upgrade script on the desktop right now. TheeMahn is putting all his time into the new 'Ultamatix" GUI for downloading new programs (IMHO ... The Bomb!!!)
Hope that helps - and sorry for not answering you sooner.

this script that i've been reading about.. this is something you use "after installing 8.04.1?"
or after "installing ultimate 1.8"?
one or the other or both?
is this script already installing what is already in 1.8? or is it for those that are installing a plain 8.04.1?
like automatix, is this list of goodies checkable, check what you want or dont want? so you can have an "ultimate" but kinda streamlined for yourself , but using your excellent script?
is there a way (since there is more software for 32bit) since i'm using a 64bit system (amdtriplecore 8450) that i can use or EASILY install/update the kernel to see all 4 gigs of my ram?

thanks...

thanks for any info..

Hello,
I can't answer all your questions, but I'll get you started. The script that your refering to is "Ultamatix" (the GUI version of the original upgrade script). You can install and use this script for downloading additional software/ games from TheeMahns repository. It can be used with a stock Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04) 32 or 64-bit OR with any version of Ultimate Edition 1.8.

Hello all,
I would like to load some of the programs from the Gamer's Edition of 1.8 64bit, to my current installation of 1.8 64bit Ultimate Edition. I read about the new script "Ultamatix" in the forums, followed the directions found in the post " Ultimate Edition Script (Ultamatix)": 1: sudo apt-get remove --purge ultimate-edition and 2: sudo dpkg -i Ultimatix_1.8.0-1-harty_all.deb . I get the following results:

instead.

Errors were encountered while processing:

Can someone point our what my error is? I even downloaded the file "Ultimatix_1.8.0-1-harty_all.deb" and tried to run it from my local DL directory, which also failed. Note: the system I am trying to install this new scriot to is the Home system listed in my sig below...

Any pointers would be most appreciated...

The now called "Ultamatix" script I am writing will help all users be it Ultimate Edition, Hardy or debian (untested but does indeed verify the distro in question). I have purchased a website just for it. There were tons of bugs / problems with automatix I have been cleaning up, The Ultamatix I have installed (much more advanced then what is on the forum) works flawlessly in both 64 & 32bit Ultimate Edition, but is not ready for release, when it goes official it will be available for download here.

As of lately all I have been doing, but adding new features. I have fixed better then 80% of the problems they had. It was with good reason Canonical called it a crap, I have been addressing each and every issue labeled. The creator of the "automatix" portion of the script did many things that are considered dangerous, I have addressed all of those issues. the creator of "resin" portion of the software, did not understand *nix file structure or debian based packaging system. About 80% I have fixed, all will be addressed before you can "officially" download it.

I am currently downloading a daily build of hardy to begin construction of Ultimate Edition 1.9 (KDE / Gnome / XFCE based), most likely it will include Ultamatix.

I have had this issue ever since installing 1.8 64bit.

Limewire installs and runs fine.....for Limewire.

I click on the link for Frostwire, and absolutely nothing
happens.

Any ideas??

Cheers

Frostwire will not run with compiz running period, I am fairly certain where the problem resides, multiple bug reports have been filed.

Allow me to correct myself another bug filed...

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib/frostwire
java -jar FrostWire.jar

Let me know if that does not fix it for you. If it is the second that fixes it for you, I will re-write that section and make it work, is it my job to fix their software? I provide an example:

Code: Select all

function wopinstall {
dpkg_check
if test -f worldofpadman.run
then
./worldofpadman.run 2>&1 | zenity --window-icon=/usr/share/ultamatix/pixmaps/wop.png --width=600 --height=100 --progress --pulsate --auto-close --title "Installing World Of Padman..."
else
wget -c http://thilo.kickchat.com/download/worldofpadman.run 2>&1 | sed -u 's/.*\ \([0-9]\+%\)\ \+\([0-9.]\+\ [KMB\/s]\+\)$/\1\n# Downloading \2/' | zenity --window-icon=/usr/share/ultamatix/pixmaps/wop.png --width=600 --height=100 --progress --auto-close --title="Downloading World Of Padman..."
sudo chmod +x worldofpadman.run
./worldofpadman.run 2>&1 | zenity --window-icon=/usr/share/ultamatix/pixmaps/wop.png --width=600 --height=100 --progress --pulsate --auto-close --title "Installing World Of Padman..."

sudo chown -R $NU:$NU "/usr/local/games/WoP/"
if [ "$architecture" = "x86_64" ]; then
sudo echo "[Desktop Entry]

}

function wopremove {

#remove shortcut created earlier
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/worldofpadman.desktop
echo "Done."
}


Note the: #create Icon since they cant seem to do it right
#since we have root we need to discover normal username so we can create the shortcut & set proper permissions. I have done that more then once creating Ultamatix... Just not my job. Keeps getting better notice this as well... #created custom uninstaller since theirs does not work. kicks back "Could not find a usable uninstall program. Aborting." I will not even get into the python I have re-written.

Howdy Tex! Check your repos (System/Admin/Software Sources - Tab "Third Party Software") & make sure you have the Ultimate Repo listed...if not then open Terminal, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list .. at bottom of list add deb http://repoubuntusoftware.info/ harty all #Ultimate Repo ... If all this is good...then make sure you're in the directory the DL is in before you run dpkg...
or...
go back to page 1 of this forum, download Ultimatix_1.8.0-1-harty_all.deb (shown under the pic) to your desktop, then double-click on it

Gosh darn show off! I bet you think you know everything about Ultamatix don't you!? .... ok, maybe you do... but I betcha I have a nicer hair-cut than you do
