Adept autoupdate problem

[jimwill]

Autoupdate has been showing 3 updates for the last few weeks. When I do updates it will not do these three. Even trying from the command line as sudo it will not complete them. I've been hoping a new update would fix it, but no luck. Trying to change the 'no change' to 'install' shows <break> and will not allow update. I can get the linux-generic to change from 'no change' to 'remove' by trying to intall the restricted modules, but I'm not sure if I should do that!
Any suggestions? Do you need more info?

Since I can't copy from Adept I've included a screen shot -

Ah, been a while since I saw that panel and that UI look. :3

Try using the terminal aptitude; it should offer you some suggestions or at least tell you why it can't upgrade those. It's much better at resolving problems than apt-get is.


$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude full-upgrade

If being old fashioned is a crime then I guess I'm guilty! :D
I prefer KDE 3.5 over KDE 4.0 - 4.0 reminds me of windows too much!! I recently found the trinity distro for Kubuntu 10.10 and have it on a laptop, but haven't changed my desktop yet.

ok - sudo aptitude update - gives me:

W: GPG error: http://download.virtualbox.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 54422A4B98AB5139
W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

sudo aptitude full-upgrade;
not sure if I really want to do this one - does it upgrade Hardy to later releases or does it keep it in Hardy?

anyway - thanks for the suggestions!
