IFT Student Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the response quint. I looked through the link and it was a good read but I am still confused on how to configure synaptic to receive updates. Being new to Linux is making it a little more of a challenge. We are trying to set up a Linux box in class to learn a little more about open source software, especially the programming and web design end of things. Maybe a different distribution would be the way we need to go to accomplish this task. The Ubuntu install went great and I was able to configure Firefox to connect using the schools proxy server. I think the socks 4 protocol is what is throwing me and synaptic for a loop. Firefox makes this an easy task to perform but configuring synaptic is another thing entirely. It would be helpful to be able to install some of the programs that we are reading about. This task in Windows is relatively simple. If nothing else, the class has had a lot of fun in attempting something new. Hopefully we will figure out a way to do this. If not we may try another distro and see if we have the same problem.

Bruno Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hi Student !Welcome to the forum !Your problem seems strange . . . you can access http sites but not the mirrors of Ubuntu. The thing is that, as far as I know, the Ubuntu mirrors are http and not ftp sites ( where I first thought might be the problem: blockage of FTP )Could you post us what you see when you open a terminal and type: $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list[code]Please copy and paste the output on the forum. BrunoPS: I made a small edit to the topic title in order to attract the Ubuntu regulars of the forum . . maybe they can come up with additional ideas.

We are in the process of creating the proxy configuration in apt.conf.dOnce again thanks for the help so far :)Oh yea forgot to add this inWe are putting Xubuntu 6.10 on a personal computer that belongs to one of the students. We used a text based install or the alternate install because of the lack of resources available on their computer. The computer is a Hewlett Packard XE743 with 20 gb HDD and 64Mb Ram not sure on processor speed just listed something to the lines of "Family 7" or something cannot really remember sorry. Just wondering why it is sticking at 65% when installing selected software. The part it is particularly stuck on is "Configuring anthy."

Bruno Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hi Student1). The /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy file you made looks okay to me . . . . . just one question to be 100% sure: is 1080 indeed the port-number ??2). I think that before you changed all the http to ftp in the /etc/apt/sources.list we made a backup of that file . . didn't we ?We maybe should restore the old one: $ sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list-BACKUP /etc/apt/sources.list and then try again to do a "sudo apt-get update"3). Maybe for the sake of easy debugging we should make the /etc/apt/sources.list shorter . . . we have a backup and you can easily just leave 2 urls in there and take the rest out. Just leave in deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted multiverse universedeb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted multiverse universe and show us the output of "sudo apt-get update"This would make the output easier to read . . . and once it works we can add back the other lines.
