 Error when installing GCompris via SynapticHi, I'm trying to download and install the GCompris educational game using Synaptic. I just get the following error at the end of the download and install:
Not sure if I should be using a different repository or what this means. I'm installing onto a laptop with Mepis 11. I also have a desktop with M8.5 where GCompris downloaded and installed just fine. Any help would be much appreciated! |

Re: Error when installing GCompris via Synaptic
I recall you having "Connection timeout" problems one other time and later in that thread I came up with some other repos you could use instead of the default Debian "ftp://ftp.debian.org" repo. You said the York University mirror worked so you might try it again. |

Re: Error when installing GCompris via Synaptic Downloaded it and seems to work fine here - sometimes I run into similar problems and just have to wait for a day or so to let the repository settle down { ITspeak answer }
If that doesn't work, please come back and let us know that too. ..........................  ......................_________________ ...Ostara.................................... minni   ...Mepis 11_64...........................Mepis 11_32 |

Re: Error when installing GCompris via Synaptic Wow, kmathern, you have an excellent memory!
Thanks for reminding me about the York University repo. I enabled it and disabled the debian one and it worked just fine. My kids thank you too! |

Re: Error when installing GCompris via Synaptic A timeout error is always a network problem. Usually related to the repository that you're using. Either waiting for a while or changing repositories should always 'fix' it.
