Hi friends,

So first my network appindicator disappeared, then my weather appindicator won't show me the weather, NOW my computer won't let me download anything from the software center and won't let me update anything in the upgrade manager. Please help!

Thank you in advance

Hi, what version of ubuntu are you using? Did you remove any packages,What errors are you getting when trying to update.Click on the # key and put the errors between the code boxes.

Hi, what version of ubuntu are you using? Did you remove any packages,What errors are you getting when trying to update.Click on the # key and put the errors between the code boxes.

I am using Ubuntu 11.04.
I did not remove any packages.

Here are my errors:

Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
The package 'ubuntu-desktop' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.

 This can be caused by:
 * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
 * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
 * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later.

Oh and I don't know what you mean about the # key?

[Mechatronical]

Oh come on! Now my volume indicator is gone! what's going on?!

Hi, I have never seen that message before.
Try this

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get-upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

You can try creating a new user and logging into that user for the moment. See if the problem is OS or user configuration setting problems. Also when you are in there try downloading ubuntu rescue disc for later use, if need be. Make sure to have one handy, just as a precaution.

I made a new account and it has the same problem as my main one.
