Mint Update not connecting...

Post by kf4krv »

I'm having a problem with Mint Update not connecting to the internet. When I first installed Mint Mint Update worked fine and I brought the system up to date with all the current files. The problem just started a couple of days ago and I can't put my finger on a specific event that may have caused it. The computer itself is connecting fine to the internet (I'm posting this message from it) but Mint Update is sitting there with a broken lock icon. I've looked at the preferences and elsewhere and can't seem to find anywhere to "turn it on". I'd appreciate a pointer or two to get me headed in the correct direction.

I still haven't been able to access my XP Pro box yet, but the internet is working great.

Thanks for your help!

I think some Ubuntu repos have been down and this may cause it
If it remains try this

Thanks for the response, Husse. I looked at the link that you provided but for me it was over my head....I've got some command line learning to do! But, I noticed that a new version of Mint Update became available yesterday so I ended up downloading and installing v3.1. It's working perfectly now!!! I've already brought my system up to date with it!

Now to get connected with that XP printer! :)
