Hi
I just installed Mint 15 mate on my laptop. I have a multiboot system with Mint 14 and Windose on it. I booted to 15 and did the updates. After the updates I ran Synaptec and it came up. I checked the repositories and as I was looking at them, Synaptec shut down. I tried rerunning Synaptec and got the Password prompt. After I enter my password, Synaptec flashes on the screen and shuts down. Also since this happened, the software manager will not run. I did not make any changes in the repos. Am I the only one with this problem?

kd4dii,
No explanation for it, but it has happened to several others. Open the terminal an enter one line at a time. If all goes well you can delete /var/lib/apt/lists.old
Good luck

Code: Select all
sudo -i
apt-get clean
cd /var/lib/apt
mv lists lists.old
mkdir -p lists/partial
apt-get clean
apt-get update

Hi
I tried the above and I got "segmentation fault" when I did the apt-get update command. This is the second time I have tried 15 Mate. I had problems with Synaptec the first time I tried it. Guess I should give it a while to get the bugs out. Thanks again for your help.

Simple fix you can try and no, you are not the only one.I booted to 15 and did the updates. After the updates I ran Synaptec and it came up. I checked the repositories and as I was looking at them, Synaptec shut down. I tried rerunning Synaptec and got the Password prompt. After I enter my password, Synaptec flashes on the screen and shuts down. Also since this happened, the software manager will not run. I did not make any changes in the repos. Am I the only one with this problem?

certain gtk-3 updates are playing havoc with certain gui themes. If fix does not work. It is simple enough to go back to your original theme if you so wish.
