[SOLVED] Zorin 12: Menu -> Software Install minor error

Firstly: Congrads on a great version (from a veteran of v.6,7,9) ! Certainly faster and more professional with its looks and feel. It's speed at least blows the competition away!

However, when I select Software install from the menu..a window appears stating: 'Sorry this did not work: no file_to_app results to show. Upon clicking [close] ..it does in fact proceed to the Software selection menu.

Just a minor (albeit mildly-irritating issue).

Any clues on what to do?

~ [Solved] ..not exactly sure how..but it isn't making same error now. ..thanks ppls

While your waiting on Swarf to answer your question, I thought I would have you check your OS for updates. There have been some new updates to the OS since it was first released. Once your OS has been updated, I recommend restarting your computer. Then try again and see if you have access to the software center.

But before updating, change the source to the 'Main Server' - see the start of my thread on 'Post Install guide to 12 - bit by bit' under Global Announcements. ;) :D

Thanks for that..but I had already set it as Main. In case it makes a difference..I had to choose to Update ..before I was able to click on the popup [settings] to get to that screen to change back to Main. When I updated again..same thing as above.

Tried shutting down PC and updating again..in case I had to..still same thing.

Ok sounds plausible. what is the sudo command to do it please (or is there a menu way)? Sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade?

To update after installation:

Code:
sudo apt-get update


If added packages after new kernel update so that packages are updated to match the new kernel:

Code:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
:D
