[22:30] <E3D3> Synaptics 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 ?
[22:31] <philipballew> E3D3, what about a re-boot?
[22:32] <E3D3> I did more than 4 times already
[22:34] <E3D3> Problem is, there is no error, just a repeating cycle of downloading the same file.
[22:34] <philipballew> i'd open it in the terminal and see if you get any errors
[22:35] <E3D3> I did with: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[22:35] <E3D3> That repeated the same proces.
[22:38] <philipballew> I wonder if you update your computer or maybe see if you have any need to repair broken packages
[22:38] <E3D3> I opened dpkg help & manual but I think I need to take a little time (hours) to read more about dpkg & synaptic.
[22:40] <philipballew> they are tough beats to master. I sure have not
[22:41] <philipballew> but you can't think of a time when you did something to mess it up?
[22:41] <philipballew> odd problem to me
[22:43] <E3D3> No. 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.
[22:44] <E3D3> Synaptic gave me advice to try the above command (dpkg) but that went in the same loop.
[22:44] <E3D3> np, lucky that other things still working.
[22:45] <E3D3> Thanks for trying to help me :-)
