I dunno what changed (other than the time), but attempting the same thing this morning did produce a different response. After prompting for my password, this opened:

You are a wonderfully helpful individual, Pixie, and I thank you! :D

Unfortunately, in the terminal window where I pasted that command it didn't ever prompt for credentials or anything. It's just...

When I try to do as you suggested, I am not allowed. Instead, I am greeted with an error message.

My 'Third-Party Software' tab would then be blank, if I'm not mistaken. :o It was nearly taking-up that whole window before I did my ignorant modifying which led to this problem! :confused:

Do I...

I screwed-up my Software Sources and now receive an error whenever I run the Update Manager. I've not been able to locate a list of the repositories that should be present on a “standard” 8.10...

I need help with a screwed-up Java installation which is causing trouble with Synaptic and not allowing updates nor any other packages to be installed.

Whenever I try to install all the updates it...

I have got two entries for KeePassX in my Applications>>Accessories menu. Initially, because of my lack of linux knowledge, I figured that one would be version 0.2.2 and the other v0.3.1. But when...

Anybody? Anybody at all?! :confused:

I noticed that in Synaptic when I removed it, I removed the packages "deluge-torrent" and "deluge-torrent-common". Installing the DEB from the site appears to only install "deluge-torrent". When I...

After having done that, Deluge's window still opens to a greyed-out condition. Should I try again using the 'mark for complete removal' choice instead?

Here are the contents of that log:
"

It was running when I performed the upgrade. Doh! #-o And it was halfway through a trickling 4.4 GB download. Is there a way to not lose all that information while still correcting the problem?

Unfortunately, I've hit a snag. :icon_frown: (It seems as though that is always the case, in my experience with linux) :-x

Per your instruction, I added to my repositories. It all went smoothly...

Beautiful! :-D Sank you very much!:)

I am wanting to upgrade my Deluge client to a Release Version, but am not sure how to do so. The version of the currently running one on here is Deluge 0.5.8.9. I downloaded...

Beautiful! :D Thanks very much!

Now for a rather stupid one: upon setting this Ubuntu up, I chose Chicago, IL because that was the closest major choice to where I live and is in my same time...

Oh, I was afraid that might've been ambiguous. From a Synaptic window, in the past many times I've noticed in the Details text something along the lines of "configuring docs for ____." But I dunno...

Sorry for the delay with my response. I upgraded the dist and have been messing with Firefox quite a bit because of the forced version change associated with the browser.

What do you mean 'updated the fonts cache'? That fix I tried for the problem just involved copying all the ttf files from C:\Windows\Fonts.

I believe I tried those commands previously after searching the forums a few weeks back. Anyway, I ran 'em again, but I still get that damn message in Synaptic.:mad:

I have been STRONGLY discouraged from performing an upgrade/update to Hardy and told that doing so is just asking for trouble.

Pixie, here is some Terminal text from when I tried your command:
