Software Manager problem
Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2013 8:06 am
Hi,
I've had a look around and I think there may be a problem outside of my system, but thought I'd ask anyway.
I've been trying to install some software using the Software Manager for about a week now (that's when I noticed the problem).
This happens whatever software I try to install - so it is definitely not one package causing the problem.
I click the green "install" button - I enter my root password - it waits about 5 seconds and the green "install" button disappears. The progress bar at the bottom says "0 ongoing actions". The application is not installed.
This happens with my desktop and my laptop - both running Mint 10.
I have tried to change the software source and ran the "find best mirror" scan. I selected the suggested mirror site and clicked "close". I was then asked to reload.
This is the output I receive after reloading (or at least trying):

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Nothing changes and I am back at square one.
Perhaps one of you uber-gurus knows what my problem is ?
Thanks,
Jon
