mintupdate freezes

[uvlt]

I use Linux Mint 7 (2.6.29) on my NC10 Samsung. Everything works fine except the "mintupdate" application. It loads at startup, it searches and finds automaticaly any updates, but when i try to install these updates, the window freezes, without showing anything, and i have to "kill" it. Then i run it again manually, and everything works fine! It's a little strange!

You have upgraded the kernel.....

[uvlt]

Yes, I did... It was because of a better support (graphics, ...) for my netbook. Is there any solution ? (I think that in linux, there is a solution for everything!)

Intel? Did it help?
Anyway use the old kernel (you should have a choice in grub) for a while and see if mintUpdate still freezes
This way we can sort out if it is the kernel update or something else
I don't really have any solutions for mintUpdate in Gloria

Sorry for not answering for such a long time but it's exams season here in Greece (I' m a teacher )... Yes, it's a graphics improvement at 2.6.29 -30 kernel (intel graphics)... But, with mintupdate, i still have the same problem, with 2.6.28 kernel too.
And something else.. After my last Gloria update (made manual) i cannot rotate the desktop cube with the mouse wheel any more, and cannot find the corresponding setting in compiz-manager. (It was an update about compiz in update packages).
Thanks

Finaly i justed unistalled/reinstalled mintupdate and now it works OK!..

Finaly the problem still exists.. But i found that it happens only when i'm trying to update running my laptop on battery mode. If i run mint update with the power cable pluged in, everything goes ok. ...

Seems to me that the battery might not provide enough "umph"
Updating puts CPU and hard disk to work

Thanks for the answer, but what is "umph"? I thought the the battery is strong enough (6cells, about 5 hours lifetime... )... Or is a system power-save prevention?

[Husse]

Well "umph" is a colloquial expression for strength
Seems you have a good battery, however it can be both power saving and that the battery gives a lower voltage
I'm just speculating - hard to tell really

Thanks...anyway..
