Download of apps fail after installation

[Ghost]

I have installed untangle and repeatedly recieved this error right after installation completes and i have to download apps

com.untangle.uvm.toolbox.MackageInstallException:
com.untangle.uvm.toolbox.MackageException: ut-apt install predictInstall exited with 1

How the hell do i resolve this as i have followed these threads to no avail

There is an error in /var/log/uvm/apt.log that will explain what is happening.

It's an ERROR you're looking for, not a warning. The warning about expected stable but got... is normal.

Start with the obvious, get on the Untangle Terminal, open the client, and use the browser window to surf the net. If you cannot get to random websites, your UT doesn't have a working IP configuration. Adjust External to something appropriate.

External IP config is correctly set, I can go to any random site and surf the net quite perfectly. Still cant download any apps, recieve the same error. Tried apt-get -f install after reading the log at /var/log/uvm/apt.log. The log show the downloads succeed but right at the bottom it starts giving a load of errors of "unmet dependecies".

Can you post the log file?

How do I do that other than typing it word for word as I read it? I re-installed the server from scratch again and started downloading the apps one by one, which seemed to work until i got to the virus blocker/phish blocker/spam blocker. Then its the same error again. Tried apt-get update, apt-get -f install after rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives, all to no avail

Recommend turning on SSH and using a utility like putty to remote into your box. You can highlight and paste stuff at that point between your workstation and the UT terminal window.

Or just find the two or three lines from the UT box that are showing an error:
1) click terminal on UT desktop
2) pico or nano or vi (if you like pain),
pico /var/log/uvm/apt.log
3) locate where you started an update process and search CTRL+W or manually scan each line looking for lines starting with [ERROR]

Let us know what those lines say. If you have SSH and putty you can highlight and paste the information.

Either way SSH should be turned off or secured once your done. By default root is allowed login.

WinSCP is even easier than putty when it comes to viewing, editing, and copy/pasting from files. You still need SSH open to use it.

Okay, I enabled ssh (learning quite a bit of linux here hehe) and connected via putty. Here is the results from /var/log/uvm/apt.log

It also runs apt-get update to fix these problems, but fails with a error but unfortunately i cant post that as this forum wont allow me yet.
Hope this can help as i have no clue anymore on what the problem could be

"short read in buffer_copy"

My guess would be its a bad disk or someone between you and untangle messing with downloads.
