BlakeRenville[m]THANK YOU!!13:37
BlakeRenville[m]or not lol not the same username as before13:38
tomreyni'm not exactly sure what you did there, or how i helped ;)13:43
tomreyni was just suggesting to run    sudo apt update    in a temrinal to see whether there are problems with some of your configured apt sources13:43
BlakeRenville[m]haha. well i may just have to reflash worst case13:43
BlakeRenville[m]nope all good its user error13:44
tomreyni think you can also use packagekit commands from a terminal, or the application you use for installing updates (which is bahving incorrectly). doing this can also provide warnngs or error messages which can hint on what the problem is, and how it coul dbe solved.13:45
