So I ran

Thanks ... Tried both of those suggestions. Result in Synaptic is:

So I can think of two alternatives: Await the Xubuntu 19.10 update, or eliminate those two files. Which?

brashley@thelinuxlaptop:~$ sudo od -t x1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/d-apt.list.save*
0000000 0a 0a

brashley@thelinuxlaptop:~$

d-apt.list.save and d-apt.list.save.1 are each totally empty.

Corrected the above original post with code tags, sorry! As for those terminal commands,

Hi,
This started a couple of weeks ago. Checking for updates in software-updater fails; checking for updates in Synaptic gives me the following error messages:

Rebooting solved it. Amazing.

I also have had the speed problem with gnome-software on my Xubuntu 16.04 desktop. After a 5-week trial it seems to be speeding up a tad, but it is still slower than UbuntuSoftware Center was; I have...

And as it turns out the old ubuntu software centre, even unsupported, is still faster in my Xubuntu install than Gnome-software. Shrug.

Actually, it is installed; it was hard to fine in the whisker menu. Sorry.

Just updated to xubuntu 16.04 today from xubuntu 15.10; still ubuntu software centre, no gnome. What happened, and when will it upgrade?

That looks good, oldfred, but ... I still have quite a few programmes I've installed via downloaded .debs and GDebi, and a big virtual machine running Win XP (licensed copy of course) for political...

I downloaded and burned the install disk for Xubuntu 15.10 Desktop AMD64, thinking to run it as a dual boot on my AMD 64 machine alongside the 15.10 desktop i86 version I run these days. However, on...

I am now using Xubuntu 12.10

Bluegriffon works, but the repositories REALLY need to include a WYSIWYG HTML editor. which Bluefish is NOT . :(

WEll,heck, at least we are up to version 4.xx now ... I presume we will get an update in *buntu 12.10 . :popcorn:

Sylvain's Python script does not work in Xubuntu 11.10; I don't know where the Gwibber database is but it does not seem to be in couchdb any more.

;) YES. Tested nd it works. THANK YOU!

Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/grecipe-manager/files/0.15.6/gourmet_0.15.6-2_all.deb/download and download the latest version, works for me; or wait for the Ubuntu repository to be updated per...

As I said, though, the Sourceforge download version works just fine. So go thou and get unfrustrated. (Wanna recipe for blueberry clafouti?)

:)

Thanks! I did not know enough about the code to do that. I'll stick with my downloaded version until the repositories catch up.

I uninstalled it, went to Sourceforge and downloaded and installed the gourmet_0.15.6-2_all.deb package - it works.
