Ubuntu issues need help (ronald odero)

[Maxwell Alela]

well i dont have a straight answer for your issue- i normaly just copy and search the error on google.com/linux and read the forums and some times get the answer--but i used to have that problem on my ubuntu 6.06lts it was because i had upgraded to an unstable kernel version. another time i deleted everything in my repository list and re did it again and that solved it- i discovered a missing gpg key was the cause. hope this helps some

Hi,
Which sever edition?From the fisrt entry,I think everything is cool and you
can go right ahead. Alternatively, if you insist, then try and install the
individual package itself if it ain't there.
