The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) problem

[ymustuknow]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to install Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) and have ran into a snag. I am at step #6 and have run into a problem.

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_server_ubuntu7.10

I type in:
"apt-get install vim-full"

and I get this:
Reading package lists.... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information.. Done
Package vim-full isn't available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package vim-full has no installation candidate


Any ideas?

What's in /etc/apt/sources.list?

[ymustuknow]

I logged in and typed in /ect/apt/source.list and also tried ect/apt/source.list and got this both times:

-bash: ect/apt/sources.list:no such file or directory


Can you tell me what steps I would need to do to what I would like to do?
-fileserver
-ftp
-vpn
-printer server
-web hosting


I am also thinking about a STRONG firewall, but am not sure about that quite yet, more worried about the Ubuntu Server install, of course :).

I logged in and typed in /ect/apt/source.list and also tried ect/apt/source.list and got this both times:

-bash: ect/apt/sources.list:no such file or directory
It's /etc not /ect
sources.list is a file.You can view it by entering:
more /etc/apt/sources.list

Can you tell me what steps I would need to do to what I would like to do?
-fileserver
-ftp
-vpn
-printer server
-web hosting
There are lots of good howtos here (http://www.howtoforge.com/howtos/linux/ubuntu).I'm sure You will find something appropriate.

[ymustuknow]

Well, unless sudo need to be before this, it gives the same message:

etc/apt/source.list: No such file or directory.

This is for:

more /etc/apt/sources.list
&
/ect/apt/source.list

???

:)

You can see the contents of that file without sudo, but changing something requires You to have appropriate access permissions:
more /etc/apt/sources.list
in my case it contains:

Check if it's really there.

I see that you can view your source list, but I can't, at least by code:
more /etc/apt/source.list

I am very new to this, and know only what the tutorial and what I am told (n00b).

What now?

[falko]

I see that you can view your source list, but I can't, at least by code:
more /etc/apt/source.list

It's
more /etc/apt/sources.list

[ymustuknow]

There we go! Yea I see most of that, but I can't see all that on mine (don't want to mess this up) :) It has most of that and then it shows:

--More--34%

Sure looks like it, right down to the "release" # (20071016)

Alright, what is the next thing to do/try? :D

[falko]

Press ENTER to scroll down.

[ymustuknow]

Ok now that I know this info, what should I do about installing VIM-full?

[falko]

Please run
apt-get update
and then
apt-get install vim-full

[ymustuknow]

The update only makes it to 27% and no updates are installed.

Is there a way of downloading the needed updates and manually installing them?

[falko]

The update only makes it to 27% and no updates are installed.

What do you mean with that? Is your Internet connection maybe unstable? Have you tried a second time?

[ymustuknow]

I have tried this a few times (like 5-10 times). I have unplugged my modem, switch, and router, and everything else works great (web pages, Win updates, u+0rr3+, ect).

Any ideas?

[falko]

What's in /etc/resolv.conf?

[ymustuknow]

this is what I got with and without sudo being typed in:
-bach: /etc/resolv.conf:No such file or directory

[falko]

Try
cat /etc/resolv.conf

[ymustuknow]

Typing:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
I get this:
nameserver 192.168.1.1

[falko]

Please edit /etc/resolv.conf and try
nameserver 145.253.2.75
nameserver 62.109.123.7
instead.

[ymustuknow]

Will try, how do I edit?.

[falko]

Run
vi /etc/resolv.conf
The usage of vi is described here: http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/12_15_en.html

[ymustuknow]

I will be on this "process" very soon (I have a project that I started yesterday that will be done shortly). :)
