Ubuntu Server 10.04 Troubles

Post by DarkRanger »

I got a VPS hosted for our company's internet to run of. I am busy installing modules on the server.

When I try to install phpmyadmin, I get this error message:

Code: Select all

root@ubuntu:~# sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package phpmyadmin
Now from what I have determined so far, it's something to do with my sources list that is incorrect/incomplete. Can anyone help?

This is the contents of my /etc/apt/sources.list file:

Code: Select all

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main

Yes I did rusty.

fixed it. I added these lines to that file:

Code: Select all

deb http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe
deb-src http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe
deb http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe
deb-src http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
then ran apt-get update. Phpmyadmin is now installed.

:shock: ... why would the universals not have been there in the first place?....

please let me know how your transfer to 10.04 goes... i'm still hesitant... have you gone with ext5?

I found some versions of Ubuntu that it doesn't enable your repositories when you install Ubuntu without an internet connection. But then its only hashed out.

Ext5? Don't you mean ext4?

ext4 :oops: <tjop moment>.. been following the ext5 vs btrfs discussion, which is proving pointless given that ext4 hasn't really bedded down yet, hence my question... by all appearances, ext4 is not performing per spec in many applications... :/

10.04 is a bit hard as there is not a lot of tutorials for it yet. For me, still a somewhat noob, it's even harder as I need to triall and error everything.
