i've installed all dependencies, compiled, made a deb & installed GNU radio, however, Update Manager returns this error Code: 'E:Dynamic MMap ran out of room, E:Dynamic MMap ran out of room, E:Dynamic MMap ran out of room, E:Dynamic MMap ran out of room, E:Dynamic MMap ran out of room, E:Error occurred while processing nagios-plugins-basic (NewVersion1), E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_edgy-updates_universe_binary-i386_Packages, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.' and Adept_Updater says 1 package needs updating, but, when i run adept i get this error and apt-get updates & returns same error BTW: i've added sources, pwease help, i don't know what to do & i've learnt a lot about installing from source (always check the dependencies required :doh but i don't know how to fix GNU radio, i only wanted to try GNU radio, but, hopefully i can rely on HWF BTW: Synaptic basically gives the same as apt-get
Might be a problem with the repositories themselves. Check your sources.list, could be a problem there.
What version of Kubuntu are you running because i noticed the edgy-updates source in that error message. You can't have the edgy eft repositories enabled at the same time as the Gutsy repositories for example. I remember trying that once and the system didn't like it. It complained about there being too many packages or something to that effect.

You need to remove these lines: Code: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted universe multiverse deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-security main restricted universe multiverse Then run apt-get update
removed but GNU radio still not working, but apt-get now works, trying a few things any suggestions ? Edit:big thankies
i've decided to start reading the man pages[ot]not happy[/ot]as many HWFers know, i hate reading manuals, but, i know not reading the manuals is holing me back :angry: :angry: :crying:
The solution's actually pretty simple, and you don't need to remove any of your other repositories. Basically, what's happening is that there are sooo many dependencies to calculate that apt is running out of buffer space to figure it all out! You simply need a larger apt cache to allow this to work. You will need to add the following line to either /etc/apt/apt.conf (on *ubuntu) or /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf (on Debian, Sidux etc): Code: APT::Cache-Limit "16777216";
thank you so much, i have problem remembering stuff, would i be better off removing some stuff i don't use or will increasing the APT buffer be my best option ?
Having a lot of repos isn't bad if you actually use them. If not, you can just comment them out with a # symbol before the lines you don't need. In either case, I would change the apt cache size, yes.
well i'm on Kubuntu Feisty & /etc/apt/apt.conf doesn't exist so i guess it's etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf as it exists, is this it Code: // Pre-configure all packages with debconf before they are installed. // If you don't like it, comment it out. DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true";}; [ot]you make me feel like a plank[/ot]how did you learn so much about *nix ? Edit: i thought it was ##
Yup, that's it. By reading, testing, and using it. I started out as an NT pro, and moved to *nix when I figured out how limited Windows really is. Have been trying to learn something new every day since then. You can use as many number (#) symbols as you want, but just one at the beginning of the line will suffice.
:good: well, i came to *nix because Windoze Product Activation was annoying me, as a clean install of XP only lasted about a month or so, because, it said it could do multitasking, so, i took it at it's word, BSOD every min, & it was unusable, so, i'd do another clean install, but i've being on *nix for about 2 years (obviouly not the same build because i started on Dapper & now i'm on Feisty[ot]sorry mega - i thought i was on Edgy[/ot] well you've taught me a lot weird, i presumed ## because source lines start with ##[ot]wrong again - i'm getting good at being wrong[/ot] Edit: time for a cig
