Linux Mint Forums

I recently installed Mint 12. When I tried to use the update manager it crashed when I pressed install. I can refresh the list an so forth, but not install. Updating with apt-get in the terminal worked fine, but I would like it to be possible to update through the update manager.

Same experiece. I have installed LM12 twice, as I suspected some problems with the installation, but the update manager is crashing each time I try to install packages. Without any error messages. And I was not able to run "Update to DVD version" or "Install codecs" from the startup screen either. But updating from apt-get works fine, and also the Software Manager. I have used LM for years without any problems like this, so I guess the problems are somehow connected to Gnome 3. Have you found a solution?

try close update manager, and open manually

I don't think this is relevant to the mint update manager in mint 12.

Seems like a found the problem. Both me and "jompa89" are norwegians, and are probably using norwegian language pack. Today I experienced the same problem when I installed LM12 on my EEE mini PC too, but then I switch to english language, and now the update manager works....

Where can I report this problem to have it solved?

I tested this and can confirm that it worked when I changed the language to English. So the problem has something to do with language.

OK. I have reported this in "Launchpad".

Great to read about this!

I installed Lisa on 2 computers from the same DVD today:

1) On my laptop - with danish as my language, and update manager worked flawlessly.

2) On our "main" computer, a desktop, in Norwegan (The rest of the family are all norwegian) and update manager informs me that there art 300+ updates, I press install - and PUFF - it dissapears.

Changed the language system-wide to danish, (after reading your posts) and all works perfectly now.

Thanks for your posts, guys.

Hopefully the bug will be fixed soon, since it seems to be the language setting that is the problem. For now I use apt-get.

Unfortunately, the bug has still not been fixed. So here is Norwegian number 3 signing in with the same problem

And here's norwegian no 4 with same problem

Hi,
I installed Mint 13 Maya this week and the bug is still not solved.
Changed the language from Norwegian to English, then the Update Manager worked fine.

Vaboen,
Please start a new thread for an issue with a different edition
