I just upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 and I have not been able to get the firefox (or any) upgrades to install. :( The update manager just hangs and hangs. I let it go for some hours without any progress. Eventually I had to kill it by logging off, even rebooting.

Any ideas how I can get more information on what's happening here?

Has anyone else seen these problems? BTW, I am operating with minimal memory (376Mb).

Thanks for the help.

Hi.

Its the second time in a day that I have seen such a post. Try Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade

That did the trick. I am now all up-to-date. Thank you! :)

That helped me out aswell, but it doesn't really remove the problem. I basically can't start any administrator application outside the terminal. At least I can now update, and hopefully a fix for this problem will be in one such update.
