Okay - that did it, sudo -H bash -c 'echo $HOME' now shows /root and I was able to do the updates and I added build-essential as a test via Synaptic Package Manager. Thank you for fixing my problem - I hope it is localized to me and not a Ubuntu problem. I know everything I did post install and may research this some more. tnx -rich -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
