Still we are aware of this issue, I wrote a few notes on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedManagerImprovements2 in order to come up with a good solution About the software sources which are not updated and need to be 'reloaded', I believe this is a update-manager bug, I'll add it to the affected packages. ** Also affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Misleading error message - cannot install 3d drivers + Misleading error message - software source for package is not enabled -- Misleading error message - software source for package is not enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
