I managed to upgrade my laptop from Karmic to Lucid using the Alternative ISO. But now when I run update manager (gksudo update-manager) and then tell it to update packages, I these error messages:
warning: could not initiate dbus
...
glib.GError: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
The update notifier seems to have issues which I presume are related.
However, if I do a sudo su - and then start update-manager, it will download and install packages just fine.
Very strange. Any ideas on how to fix this?
