| 854321 | 2010-02-02 06:04:00 | So none of the repositories work? Did you try the one I mentioned earlier? The Freebsd one . This is strange as it works OK here . is the computer connected to the internet? (stupid question I know but I have to ask) If you want / need to upgrade or install anything, just use Synaptic (if you don't like apt-get) . If you have the patience to do the upgrades one at a time, things go much easier than via the tarball route, also if you DO strike any grief, the messages do not come so thick and fast, and they tend to make more sense if there is only a single upgrade going on . Oh yeah - ONLINE as usual . I tried quite a few different repositories, and though some gave me downloads, others gave a few and then quit . One thing is recognizing what's happening . I don't . That huge list in Synaptec doesn't really make much sense if I don't have a player-identification . I have to go to Arizona for a day or two in the AM - it's 22:00 here, Monday evening and I need to get up at 04:00 to get a start before the sun gets into my eyes . I am driving East for the first 8-hours or so . I know this isn't resolved yet - and my curiosity is piqued . I/WE must prevail! |

Make sure it is the only repository selected in the interests of simplicity this time. Make sure these sections are called up. "main extra nonfree kde gnome " Click on ok In the left pane of the main synaptic screen, select "Upgradable (upstream)". Select "Reload" in the left side of the toolbar, so you know that synaptic and you are both looking at the same songsheet.The Main pane shows the available upgrades to your system (a lot of them you really won't need unless you want to cover all the security bases). If you go a little way down the list of upgrades, you should see "Firefox". Select it, then click on "Apply" in the toolbar and go brew some coffee. When it finishes the download it will install the upgrade while you have both hands free for holding the coffee cup. When it finishes, close Synaptic if you wish, go into Firefox and Lo, you have the new version. Rebooting is not required, in fact you can leave Synaptic open and doing more updates while you are using the new Firefox Firefox in a different desktop (which is what I am doing now). If I can do it, it ain't hard. |
