E3D3Synaptics hanged when I tried to install something & now won't open anymore. I have do configurated dpkg but that also hangs. Both repeat endlessly. How can I correct this ?22:30
philipballewE3D3, what about a re-boot?22:31
E3D3I did more than 4 times already22:32
E3D3Problem is, there is no error, just a repeating cycle of downloading the same file.22:34
philipballewi'd open it in the terminal and see if you get any errors22:34
E3D3I did with: sudo dpkg --configure -a22:35
E3D3That repeated the same proces.22:35
philipballewI wonder if you update your computer or maybe see if you have any need to repair broken packages22:38
E3D3I opened dpkg help & manual but I think I need to take a little time (hours) to read more about dpkg & synaptic.22:38
philipballewthey are tough beats to master. I sure have not22:40
philipballewbut you can't think of a time when you did something to mess it up?22:41
philipballewodd problem to me22:41
E3D3No. I tried installing Sandbox Gamemaker & after downloading it went to configurating the new stuff. It had to download/rebuild a file for that. It repeat the last step endless.22:43
E3D3Synaptic gave me advice to try the above command (dpkg) but that went in the same loop.22:44
E3D3np, lucky that other things still working.22:44
E3D3Thanks for trying to help me :-)22:45
