Hi,

change your software sources download location to a different server:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2247

Where it say "Download From", change the location from what you currently are using and update again.

Regards Wolfman

Both Synaptic and Ubuntu Software Centre fall over so how can I update the server location?

Hi,

try running these commands in a terminal then see if Synaptic works afterwards:

sudo dpkg --configre -a

followed by:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f

Even you get messages like the previous ones, continue!!!!!!!!!.

Check Synaptic out after doing that, try installing something.

(the -f behind the last word denotes the "force" command)

Regards Wolfman

I tried using sudo dpkg --configure -a

followed by

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --f -m

Still the same.

Hi,

did you add the --f -m after the command??, I don't know this command!!.

It should update with:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f

Regards Wolfman

Hi Desh,

I don't deny that forcing is good/bad; but in this case; he changed the command completely somehow!!.

Using the -f part of the command should force any dependency problems he might be having!!.

Regards Wolfman

Wolfman, I used the command below where -m is Attempt to continue if archives are unlocatable

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f -m

Hi Desh,
I tried your suggestion but got these errors.

Hi,

thanks for the heads up on that.

I suggest you change the download location as we spoke of before.

Open Synaptic > Settings > Repositories > Download from > Other: and change the location, select best server from a different place, then try updating again!!.

Regards Wolfman

When I open Synaptic I get this error.

Tried that but still no joy,

Hi,

you can try disabling that particular PPA, open Synaptic > Settings > Repositories > Other Software and look for that PPA in the list and take out the tick, click on reload and try updating again!!.

Did you change the download location??.

As I said previously Synaptic keeps falling over, however I went into the /var/lib/apt/list directory and deleted the offending PPAs. This allowed me to run Synaptic and update.

Hi,

great to hear, have you now completely updated your system ???.

Let us know if you have problems again.

Can we mark this as solved??.

Regards Wolfman

Yes, it is completely updated as far as I can see. Do you know what the jonoomph PPA is anyway?

Update:
I just rebooted and the display has set itself to 1024X768 and I can't change it!!

Hi,

did you use the display manager in System Settings > Hardware > Display???.

Have you installed the drivers for your graphics card??: System Settings > Hardware > Additonal Drivers (ATI & Nvidia only)

It has been fine up to now, it was the last update that screwed it up. I subscribe to the X-SWAT PPA so I always have the latest Nvidia driver

Hi,

open Synaptic and type "nvidia" in search, locate the "nvidia-current" package and mark it for re-installation, then restart your PC and see if you still have a problem with the graphics, you should have version 302.17 installed if you are using the x-swat PPA.

Yes, I did that but no joy. Maybe an reinstall is the best idea. I must say that I have Zorin 5.2 as well and I don't get any of these problems.

Hi,

the update manager was updated today so try one more update and see if it helps!!.
