how to disable third party repositories

Asked by articdisappearing

Been gone a while. I just tried the solution from 1/31/2010 and after running in terminal everything from configure -a to apt-get upgrade this is what I have now showing.
Setting up pulseaudio (1:0.9.19-0ubuntu4.1) ...
update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/pulseaudio missing LSB information

nvoke-rc.d: initscript pulseaudio, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing pulseaudio (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
 pulseaudio
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I do not know enough to know what to do now. Please help.

## Fix broken packages
via CLI method (other apps, such as Synaptic, Software Sources, Update Manager should be closed):
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install

## Clean up package cache
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove

## Update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Thx Sam but I now have a problem with getting Update-Manager to close so I can run this fix you have provided me. Up in my top panel in my active applications there is a caution symbol ; red circle with horizontal white bar. I click or even right click on it and Update Mgr opens I can de-select the pulse-audio and software center download/upgrades but not the Rythmbox; therefore I can not close Update Manager to perform the Fix you provided. Is there a way to 'force' update manager to close via the terminal? What would the argument be?

I am using the Reference's listed to study and learn. Will the 'echo' pkg name hold allow for forced stop/shut-down of the Update Mgr?

Try: system administration -> system monitor -> process
search for the process update-manager, right klick, kill process.

Can you help with this problem?
