Parse errors usually mean that there is an error /etc/apt/sources.list

I have Ubuntu 8.04 on my eeePC 701 and Ubuntu 8.10 on my Acer Aspire One
(to be more accurate I put Xubuntu since I prefer XFCE to GNOME). In
both cases I built my own kernel to better support the hardware on each
device. IIRC Ubuntu 8.10 should support all of the hardware on the 701.
I don't actually use a GUI on my 701 as I only ever connect to it via
ssh these days.
If you have time, the 64Studio people have a release for netbooks that
they are looking to test. You can get the install CD here:
http://pdk.64studio.com/projects/trinity/hardy/images/trinity_master_i386.is
o
Yes I know that these devices do not have cd/dvd drives, I have a USB
DVD RW that works well for this sort of thing.
Hth,

Hi Gustin,
Thanks for your reply. I deleted some things from /root that didn't look
useful. That made a little improvement as shown by
debian:~# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/debian-root
273674 267214 0 100% /
tmpfs 998416 0 998416 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10240 56 10184 1% /dev
tmpfs 998416 0 998416 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1 241116 20170 208498 9% /boot
/dev/mapper/debian-home
139142128 43123040 88951032 33% /home
/dev/mapper/debian-tmp
388741 10330 358341 3% /tmp
/dev/mapper/debian-usr
4922684 3071364 1601260 66% /usr
/dev/mapper/debian-var
2955216 1664032 1141068 60% /var
But there is still very little room left over and I don't know what I could
delete now without creating further problems. Here's what things look like
now.
debian:~# cd /root
debian:~# ls -a
. .gconf .local .recently-used
.. .gconfd .mcop .synaptic
.aptitude .google .mcoprc testlink
.bash_history .ICEauthority .moneydance .thumbnails
.bashrc .install4j .mozilla .xine
.DCOPserver_debian__0 .kde .profile
.DCOPserver_debian_:0 .lesshst .qt
debian:~#
Can you see anything that can be deleted?
Robin

Hi Robin,
You might find that there are a whole load of '.deb' files in
/var/cache/apt/archives/, these are normally left over from when packages
are installed and can be safely deleted.
The easiest way to clean up is to do 'sudo apt-get autoclean' which will
delete temporary files used in during package installation.
You can also clear out unneeded packages (dependencies of deleted
applications and the like) with 'sudo apt-get autoremove'.
Cheers,
Simon.

While normally a good idea, in this case it will not help as he has /var
in a different partition that already has a lot of free space there.
His partition layout is a little odd as well (256Mb for /boot, /lib, and
/root is way too small IMO).
In this case /usr has its own partition so the bulk of the application
binaries and libraries are not a problem. Likely the problem is /lib
and /boot, and there is not a lot that you can remove by hand from
there. To figure out where all the space is going to, I would run the
following in /
du -smcx /* |sort -g
Personally I think his best bet is to start from scratch, and to use a
single a partition for /.
Hth,

Hey Robin,
I'd definitely start by taking the above advice and clearing out any extra
.deb files that are lying around in the cache--that could free up quite a
bit of space.
I upgraded a couple of installs from etch to lenny a few days ago, and it
took about 1.5GB of free disk space to download and unpack all of the .deb
files I needed.
I had always used apt-get prior to doing this upgrade, but read a
recommendation suggesting aptitude was better at resolving dependencies, so
that's what I used and I've had no major issues.
(Actually, I'm starting to get addicted to aptitude's curses interface. :-)
Rick.

I run eeebuntu (http://www.eeebuntu.org/) on my eee pc. Runs a little slow
on the 700 series, because it runs Compiz by default, but it works really
well.
As for your other issue, try running 'apt-get update' on the command line
and see if you get any errors. If not, try installing your piece of software
using apt and see what happens.
Jesse
