I just upgraded to 9.04 and have now the following problem.

I visited the upgrade manager and after checking, I get the info that a partial upgrade is necessary.

I click upgrade and start upgrade.
Nothing happens, the window just vanishes.

Open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and try

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

Okay I am using a proxy and apt just stopped working for some reason. It was working before but then on upgrade day just started giving me an error that proxy needs authorization and thus I am still running Intrepid.

Some story about me: I run an acer aspire one 8G SSD. I installed Xubuntu and I didn't like it and when I was starting to get used to it It stopped logging me in and I needed to get things done so I installed GNOME using TTY1 thingy. It was workin fine and I think it was actually faster than when I had first installed GNOME. I didn't set up the Proxy myself someone did it for me and I don't know how to set it up. (/etc/bash or /etc/apt/apt.config maybe?).

When I click update in synaptic it gives an error like TranslationZA something and it only downloads like one or two of the files that actually do download. Can I be helped. My PC seems to be working fine except for a loss in speed during start up, I think it is due to screenlets I am not sure. I didn't like the UbuntuNetbookRemix tried it for a few minutes and it was not for me. I can't use this thing without Compiz.

Can you open a terminal and post the output to

sudo apt-get update

Open up Synaptic Package Manager and go to Settings>Pref>Network and make sure the info for the proxy is correct.

The info for synaptic proxy is correct. I just checked it. I am not sure about the apt-get proxy settings though. I don't know where they are stored or how to edit them. I know synaptic can work without apt-get having proxy settings because I have used it before without having set-up apt-get for proxy.

Maybe I am missing some repo or there is a clash in my repos. I tried to stall Gnome-do from one of those PPA ones and I couldn't download the verification key. I also downloaded openoffice 3 before that but I got the authentification key then.

What are the default like repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list ?

removed openoffice, unchecked the PPA in the software source list and I try to reinstall it and I get an error that some of the packages are not authenticated. Is there a way to like revert back to the Ubuntu default settings for source list?

I don't know that much about proxy setup file but maybe this (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+question/1320) will be of use.

To get a clean sources.list you can generate a new one from here (http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/), just remember to backup your current one in case you need it again.

I think the authentication error I get is not due to proxy setting but authentication of the repositories. So I generated a sources list and now I need the authentication keys for all those repos. How do I get them?

Thank you for the sources list generater site :-)
