I want to install Linux Tails. I already added ppa:tails-team/tails-installer to my sources, but when my Ubuntu Software Center tries to download the repository information, I get this error:
W:Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/tails-team/tails-installer/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages
404 Not Found , W:Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/tails-team/tails-installer/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages
404 Not Found , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been
ignored, or old ones used instead.
I am using ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
If you follow the link up to tails-installer/ubuntu/dists/ you can see that "trusty" is missing.
Any idea on what to do? Should I just wait?
I just got an answer from the Tails support team saying that you will need to download the Tails installer packages from ubuntu 15.10, although I was using ubuntu 14.04.
Works now.

Using a virgin (but updated) version of Rocky Linux 8.5, I am trying to install VMware Workstation 16.2.1 (and others), but get compile errors during the first attempt to run, when vmmon and vmnet are being built.
All the proper, current headers from kernel-devel and kernel-headers are installed.
I tried upgrading to the 5.16.4 kernal at kernel.org, with all associated headers, and basically get the same errors.
"Unable to install all modules." i.e., vmmon and vmnet
Posts i have found with searching the net seem to indicate that there was a "back-port" of an upstream fix to Rocky that has affected the ability to build the loadable kernel modules necessary to run vmware - but i cannot confirm this is actually the problem that I am experiencing.
So i simply ask these questions: Can anyone (today) install VMware Workstation 16.2.1 (or any version), on a fresh install of Rocky Linux 8.5?
If so, would you please point me at your installation instructions, because I am unable to build "vmmon" and "vmnet" modules today (2022-01-04), that allow me to actually run virtual machines with vmware? (The kernel modules fail to compile and build.)
(and after 15 years of using stackoverflow i do not have the reputation to create a "rocky-linux" question tag...)
See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/689436/the-vmmon-and-vmnet-vmware-workstation-kernel-modules-fail-to-build-on-rocky-lin
mbubecek's instructions work for a variety of releases and should compile perfectly and run without issue, if you follow his instructions.
I have successfully used these methods at least a half dozen times with Rocky 8.5 and 8.6 with vmware workstation 16.1 up to version 16.2.1
NOTE: This error is NOT Rocky Linux specific. Also happens on some versions of RHEL 8 and CentOS 8.x I would also expect this "fix" to work on all of the other linux versions that are RHEL 8-derived.
I've been having difficulty with the same issue, and a colleague pointed me to check my kernel. This is our "official" resolution. See if the below works for you.
This is due to differences between the kernel and the source code for the VMWare modules, see here for more information. You can get the correct kernel modules, and build them by executing the following commands
wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-16.1.0.tar.gz
tar -xf workstation-16.1.0.tar.gz
cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-16.1.0/
make
sudo make install
If you get the error,
crosspage.c:53:16: fatal error: linux/frame.h: No such file or directory
The error is described here. The solution is to remove (i.e. comment out) the offending include file in crosspage.c After doing the sudo make install, it is a very good idea to restart you host.
You may need to manually insert the modules into the kernel the first time after running make install'. The kernel modules (vmmon.ko and vmnet.ko) will be found at /lib/modules//misc. The following set of command will do this:
cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/misc
sudo insmod vmmon.ko
sudo insmod vmnet.ko
The modules should be load automatically after a restart/reboot.
If you update vmware to a different version (say 16.2.1) you may need to this again. Just change the versions in the above commands. If you hit the update button on the splash-screen and failed to notice the version you are updating to, you can run `vmware -v' at a command prompt to get the version you updated to.
I'm trying to download the Debian Neo4j version from a Window 7 machine. I'm not managing to find the URL in order to download the package/file . I have installed the GOW software for some linux commands.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Update
I found this link - https://neo4j.com/download/other-releases/ . Know I need to figure out what is the best file to download in order to install it on an Ubuntu Machine
You've got two options :
If you've got access to the package repository (from your Ubuntu machine), follow the information in https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/installation/linux/debian/ to install it as a package. That's the best option which also provides start/stop scripts, a user that runs Neo4j (neo4j) and also allows for easier upgrades.
If you can not reach the internet from your Ubuntu machine (as could be deduced from the way you're trying to do it, the zip (or tar.gz for Linux) download is the way to go. You can find that at http://info.neo4j.com/download-thanks.html?edition=community&release=3.2.3&flavour=unix
Hope this helps.

I am attempting to update my Ubuntu Natty Narwhal (11.04) to Precise Pangolin (12.04). When I checked the Update Manager, I was told I couldn't do that. I had to get to 11.10 first, if I want it safely. Sounds like a plan.
And so I've ran through the Update Manager who keeps giving me 404 on the "Setting New Software Channels" like this:
W:Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric-security/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.24 80]
And there wre a lot of that!
No, I do not want the latest Ubuntu yet, though. Not even Lubuntu. Please, I just want to find out how to download a specific version of the package, or if it's even possible. I kinda imagine a command-line text where I can attach the URL of the Ubuntu distribution I want. And then update the one I have.
I know both Natty and Precise are EOL distributions, so I understand it would be difficult.
Thank you folks!
You can download the hardware specific package of ubuntu 12.04 directly
http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/
or
http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin
There is no such option in the standard installation medium.
I search a lot about this problem, but all the solutions I found did not solve my problem.
I installed Linux Mint 17 with mate desktop in a virtual machine. After the installation, I wanted to update the packages but after running
apt-get update
I get the following error:
E: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com trusty Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 2
The solutions I found in https://askubuntu.com/questions/104213/gpg-invalid-signature did not solve it.
I think the problem is that the computer is behind a proxy. I tried all the different proxy settings, but the error still exists.
Thanks
I found the solution myself :)
first you have to comment out the repositories, that are not working (trusty-main, trusty-updates and trusty-security)
then you can update the remaining packages
After that you have to find a mirror that is working for the above repositories (the german gwdg server worked for me)
After you added the corresponding repositories, you can update the remaining programs.
apparently it is important to first update the other packages before you update the ones from the above repositories.
As suggested by Google, I'm trying to get http://jpegclub.org/jpegtran/ working on my Ubuntu server, but I'm getting the error:
"jpegtran: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
A Google search told me to install (via apt-get) libjpeg-turbo8, however apt-get can't find the package. My own Ubuntu computer (running 12.0.10) can find the package just fine.
I tried installing http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/ with no luck.
Am I doing something wrong or have I missed something? How do I get jpegtran working?
This question may be old, but i was trying to run the glassfish updatetool and it failed because of the lack of the libjpeg library.
Steps i did take:
1. install libjpeg62:i386 (for 64 bit ubuntu amd6)
I hope it helps someone
