Hi,
I tried search but could not find anything so, i ask for help.

Im getting this error when running software-properties-gtk

$ software-properties-gtk

** (software-properties-gtk:23612): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-vSmsXKQFwH: Connection refused

aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Zorin/wily

my ~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Zorin
Description: Zorin OS 11
Release: 11
Codename: wily
looks like this

is it correct?

Also my update-manager will not launch from the gui menu.

$ update-manager software

You should no longer be using Zorin 10 - it is end-of-life (January this year) ;)

DISTRIB_RELEASE=15.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=wily
