I might be fast approaching the end of my Ubuntu experiment. It looks like I'm heading for a second re-install, both events caused by the same problem....It appears that the automatic updates system can be easily compromised by a fool.
My automatic updates no longer works. The little orange icon showm that I have updates to install, but when I click on it, I get this. E: dpkg was interrupted.. You must manually run dpkg –configure -a to correct the problem. So I try. Setting up linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-28-amd64-generic (2.6.15.12-28.2) ... Setting up sun-java5-doc (1.5.0-06-1) ... This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the J2SDK documentation. You will need to go download one of the archives: jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip jdk-1_5_0-doc-ja.zip (choose the non-update version if this is the first installation). Please visit http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.html and then I get lost or give up because the website above doesn't appear to have anything to do with my problem.....or does it. I suspect that my problem was caused by simply trying to add multimedia features to Open Office presentations. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
