Updating problems

[VanillaTbone]

Lol...

Well, I'm glad someone around here is not walking around the forums looking like the Headless Horseman.

I'm wanting to make Ultimate Edition my "Official" OS of choice and get rid of WinBlows once and for all. I am really starting to like the look and functionality of Ubuntu.

Oh, one more question. Does the installer install the SMP Kernel on Dual/Tri/Quad Cores by default?

Thanks a million Cab.

Not like the solution was sitting right in front of me or anything, lol.

Time to Upgrade to 1.9 x64.... WOOT!

Wasn't like a secret or anything but I really support the torrent concept, we have unlimited space and bandwidth for now, we will see how it holds up, I uploaded over 20gb in one day and well downloaded it as well I guess. I try to run the torrent seeds as well but I was so busy resetting up servers with Thee Mahn I don't have the bandwidth right now. It seems like on a new release for the first 2 weeks give or take you can get 1.0mb/s to 2.0mb/s on torrents. (10 -20 mb down for those that never see those speeds) I wont attempt to do the byte, bit, 8 bits in a byte math thing but a rough estimate is move the decimal over 2 places
(100kb/s = 1mb)(150kb/s = 1.5mb) ballpark but close enough.

[VanillaTbone]

The correct way to calculate it is to take your initial "bit" and divide that number by 8 to find your actual speed, or your "byte"...

Roughly a 10mb connection will get ~1.25MB/s download speeds, not including your burst rates. :p

10 / 8 = 1.25

My connection on the other hand is a 15mb connection(Down Rate)... I usually get everyday download speeds of around 1.9MB/s..

15 / 8 = 1.875

Well class, that's all for today. Come back tomorrow and let's see what else we can learn.

Let's go grab a cold one.

I know the repos were down and I commented the two lines untill I've heard they're back online, then I uncommented the lines, made an update and all is working fine.
But I still can't get the "Update" script to work, I keep getting the error message.
Does anybody here know how to fix it? I'd like to make it work, I want to upgrade to "Gamers Edition" and so.
Thanks,
Ziv

I must be the only one here that can get updates. I got my nice shiny new Ultimate Edition 2.0 splash and everything. Installed even more updates this morning. Unless the repo just went down, or unless I have a connection directly to the repo, then it is up. The only thing I did to update is use Synaptic and mark all upgrade instead of using the update manager. I haven't tried the upgrade icon yet so I don't know about it.

Here are screen shots of me using the Ultimate Edition repo and down loading Tile Racer from the repo. The repo is working fine. As a matter of fact, Tile Racer downloaded and installed before I could finish this post.

Prob. got something to do with the script referencing an old repo or something. This is something that TheeMahn will have to address.
