Apt-get is broken! Perhaps due to being on ComCast. Nothing has worked to resolve it yet… hrrrm.
Upgrading Ubuntu has always been difficult. I put myself through the updater before doing a fresh install hoping I can either fix the problems or, at least, experience them before giving up and using a fresh install. One of my favorite Canonical bloggers asked why do people insist on fresh installs. Hopefully this post sheds some light on why upgrades still hurt. Most of my problems stem from the fact that I install programs on my system and change a few minor settings here and there.
I haven’t been able to get my Ubuntu laptop on Windows network for years. This is the best walk through I’ve found. Unfortunately, my apt-get is broken… so I couldn’t do apt-get install win-bind. But, one of the other steps solved the problem. smbtree returns: cli_start_connection: failed to connect to JANES (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL Walk through that hasn’t resolved the problem yet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149 sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart does not work in Ubuntu 10.04!
