    12.04 Update acting goofy, partial fail

    Updates pop up, I elect to install, process occurs, but three are left under proposed updates (see below). I can't select them to install except to select the header "Proposed Updates", can't select "Install", and they won't go away.

    Complete Kernel
    Kernel Headers
    Kernel Image

    Now what do I do?

    Propossed updates repository enabled is not a good idea for inexperienced users as they can break the system, they are recommended only for testing purposes, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuUpdates

    I would not enable the propossed updates repository.

    I understand and agree. I have disabled pre-released proposed precise updates.

    Now what about unsupported precise backports?

    I understand and agree. I have disabled pre-released proposed precise updates.

    Now what about unsupported precise backports? This seems to me to be reasonable to continue.

    I would not enable backport repositories neither, it also can be a security risk and also cause to break your system. I am in the conservative part.

    Please, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
