emamarro (member.php?u=406), how are you trying to install the upgrage? if through a terminal, do you have the synaptic window open at the same time?

[emamarro]

i was doing by synaptic , but also when i tried by terminal i get a list of many "can't open etc.." is something wrong with my repository?

[emamarro]

i did install many apps,it's just upgrades not working..

Hrm... maybe a permissions problem? Are you running it as root?

Try running the following line in a command terminal (gnome-terminal, for example), and show us the output:


sudo apt-get upgrade

Like you said, the original sources.list file will definitely be enough for adequate maintenance and security. Now, if you want bleeding-edge stuff, or packages that can't be found in the default repositories, you could try adding more sources if you're feeling a little feisty.
