I did it. Nothing changed. I did it prior to responding to the "pesky Icon" and got the usual result -- only the rotating ball. Using the terminal command (see attachment) still works --16 updates (14.2 MB) were downloaded and installed.
I am tempted to try, in the terminal, "gksudo synaptic." I am also tempted to change the name of the computer back to P5K. But I recognize I don't know what I am doing so I'll control myself at least until you (all) rescue me or give up and tell me to reinstall. ** Attachment added: "gksu.jpg" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15149221/gksu.jpg -- Update 2.6.24.18.20 fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237662 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
