Can not update my system.

Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

Thanks,

Rob.

Make sure you don't have any update utilities running then

Code: Select all

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock

Thank you, I'll give it a try!

I think that my Update Manager is toast.

Is there something wrong with the repositories?

The manager starts to down load updates and then hangs.

Is there a way to re-install the Update Manager using get-app?

Thanks,

Rob

Run these 2 commans and you'll be fine

Code: Select all

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update

Thank you.

I guess that there is something else broken - the command just hangs when executed:

I gave up.

I decided to trash my 64 bit installation and install the 32 bit version instead.
