well yes and no :) I don't want to be difficult, by no means but,,, this
looks a little like goin round my elbow to get to my mouth!....this might
even take me places I have been avoiding :( if you would be so kind to
list the steps taken, I will attempt to make it all right...but with a
somewhat battered ego, I guess I might be a bit disapointed with the way
things are going and having to go back and do this and that and this and so
on and on.... for what ? to make sure there will be a smaller ammount of
people like myself that try to tackle ubuntu(just by the way... I have
already wiped everything out once now so I could "get it
right")
thank you very much for the steps in advance...anyone that can put up with
my ranting deserves a whole lot of credit, and if you need my permission to
pass it on , you have it already :)

I think someone was asking about those repositoires before - something to do with Dell Nine series machines. It migh be worth hunting around for that in Answers and in Bugs. I think the main end-answer was that those repositories are not needed and can be switched off or safely ignored.
Good luck and happy hunting from
Tom :)

safely ignored :) or switched off? I'll try to do both. Soryy for getting a little hot under the collar last nite. I still don't know much about scripts except that there ought to be one written for these ppa's rather than to allow goofballs like myself to muck things up trying to follow suggestions. I can really muck stuff up proper..as would be said in NC mountains :)) and I don't need help to do it, and it felt like that video on youtube just hit a sore place. I said ouch trying to stay up on the learning curve :)
safely ignore I can do :)
turning things off, I will try :)

Errr, i still keep stuffing up my YouTube watching ability. Last time it turned out that i had 'deliberately' disabled streaming videos and replaced some of them with 'artworks' lol. Dunno what i've done this time. Anyway, just so as you know that what you are talking about is completely 'over my head' right now and so i haven't a clue, sorry :) Just remember "Good things happen to bad people" (or was that the other way around)
Anyway, back to the matter at hand. Try going up to the top taskbar and click on
System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager
it asks for your normal user password, not your SuperUser/Root one. Click on the "Tools" menu and "Repositories", simply UNtick any of the ones that grumbled and serves them right :)
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

at last i've found something vaguely relevant. If you have already unticked these repositories then don't worry about it as that's probably the right thing to do and can always add them back in later if you really need to when you know more about whether you really want them or not.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

I been chillin a little today. I have been looking at solutions(ubuntu
pocket guide I found free while surfin a few days ago). It had some
explanations about repositories but I just needed to step back and breath a
little :). I downloaded the jackalope today from softpedia but haven't
installed it as yet(no cd's to burn, all used up, gotta get more). its alfa
so it should be alright?. I don't usually go "outside" to get stuff and
thats how I got messed up with the repositories. I tryed "ubuntu tweak" off
some of firefoxe's addons, opened it up and there was its own repositorie,
of which I chose openoffice 3.0 and thats where stuff started hitting the
fan. then the "alerts" started coming in(listed at the first of all
this).....I think I will go and click a few off, because as I updated today,
the same warnings were listed at the bottom as it finished. question...did
everything update completely?(with the warnings showing up at the bottom of
the list)
thanks

Alpha means it is not a proper release. It's expected to be very buggy and not work yet.
It's just for people to try it out and try to find all the bugs and submit bug reports. You win points for submitting bug-reports and the more you find the merrier the developers will be (eventually). Good fun :)
Alpha versions become Beta versions for beta-testing and then finally the program is ready for proper release
Anyway, good luck and have fun
Regards from
Tom :)

I think I'll just forget about jaunty and just stay where I'm at, I have
enough fun already :)) But you knew that already and I'm still learning:)
(thought "alpha" was tops, just as the scripture says Alpha and Omega) but
after a little thinking about it, it does refer to "first" but why not name
the last "Omega"? oh well, that aside and rexplain where I got ubuntu
tweak....fiefox, ubuntuuser addon, some forum on ubuntu user( theres a
german version but it's greek to me :) just like Alpha and
Omega:)
thanks

You'll probably already find that you know more about Windows and computing generally than almost anyone you'll bump into. As you use linux more you'll find that increasingly the case.
Good luck and have fun

Its a learning experience for certain and as you say, not one person in my
general area goes in for ubuntu(even my pastor remains a microsoft man) and
here in nevada it seems that the educational idea went out the door with the
bathwater(yep, I'm a hillbilly in the northwest desert:) and I needed
something that made my wheels turn, so to speak, and I chose ubuntu for its
survivability and the virus inabilility and , on this toshiba satellite wirh
512 mg of ram, runs much better than the vista it came with(I could cook
breakfast while waiting for it to boot up:) and performing any type of
maintainance on it was a waiting experience at best. So Hurray!
Ubuntu!....time to go learn some more :)
thanks

copied Tom's instruction: System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager

the answers at launchpad, I think, will work, and since I have done a lot of it already, I now know what I did :) thanks very much for your help! that had a lot of reading to the ailment and cure, of the which you probably had better things to do, so thanks again for all your helping me understand.
patience is a virtue that you possess (and I'm jealous :)
