update manager not responding

[mikhaell]

hi, i tried running update manager and got no response. when i typed in terminal sudo update manager i get sudo: update: command not found
. any ideas?

That's because it would be..

sudo update-manager

also have you tried to update/upgrade in the terminal?

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

[mikhaell]

this is what i get when i write sudo update-manager

(process:8662): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.

I don't use it...I deleted the whole thing as it was getting in the way. Maybe try purging it and then re-installing.

thanks but i think the problem is in a missing file when i upgrade on terminal i keep on getting:

perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
are supported and installed on your system.

I had the same problem after upgrading to Karmic (when I changed system language).
I found that this error has to do with missing language packages.

See what gives sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales .

May be you are using a language which is not installed. You can get language packages via "sudo apt-get install --reinstall language-pack-en". The other possibility would be to change your labguage via "export LANG=en_GB" or " (for english, for example). May be you have to fiddle around with utf8 - there are lang-Packages called en_US.utf8 and without, dependign on your configuration.
This should also work via Ubuntu menus System -> Admin -> Language support.
