Hi
I would suggest cleaning out the list file cache as well as look at the sources like bashing-om suggested.
Code:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
also clean the package cache
If you run it again and it freezes, try to get to a console.
Press ctrl + alt + F1 at the same time. If this gets you to a console, login with your user name and pasword.
You can then kill update-manager with
Code:
sudo killall update-manager
Code:
sudo kill $(pgrep update-manager)
If, after these two commands, it still wont die then use this.
Code:
sudo kill -9 $(pgrep update-manager)
You should try one of the first two commands first and check to see if it is dead by going to to the graphical display.
You can get back to the graphicak display by pressing ctrl + alt + F7 at the same time.
Only use the last command (SIGKILL) as a lsat resort.
If it does freeze after your sources have been checked and the caches cleaned then please post back stating if you could get to a console and kill update-manager that way and also state if you had to use a SIGKILL to kill it.
Kind regards
