| Guest17 | I have an error message on the menu panel (red stop sign icon), but doens't let me ScrnCap when visible, and goes away when I hit ESC | 00:42 |
|---|---|---|
| Guest17 | and the error message is a bit ambiguous, regarding a failed upgrade, but can't find any details, any suggestions? | 00:45 |
| superkuh | Guest17, I'd open synaptic and look for "Broken" packages. | 00:47 |
| superkuh | Guest17, additionally you might see something in $ dmesg or in syslog. | 00:48 |
| Guest17 | superkuh is the the same as "software bouitque" ? | 00:48 |
| superkuh | Have you recently installed something out of a PPA? | 00:48 |
| superkuh | Um, I don't know. | 00:48 |
| superkuh | I don't know what "software bouitque" is. | 00:49 |
| Guest17 | Not manuallly I havent'. | 00:49 |
| superkuh | synapic is the synaptic package manager. I thought it came with ubuntu. It's synaptic-pkexec as a process. | 00:49 |
| superkuh | I haven't used any modern Ubuntu releases though. Nothing past 14.04. | 00:49 |
| superkuh | $ sudo apt-get check | 00:50 |
| Guest17 | This is ubuntu-mate I'm running, I cna't find pkg mgr from the menu | 00:50 |
| superkuh | That should give you a list of broken packages from the command line. | 00:50 |
| Guest17 | nothing returned | 00:51 |
| superkuh | Er... there's no more apt-get, is there. | 00:51 |
| superkuh | Ubuntu changed it. | 00:51 |
| Guest17 | Yeah there is, at least here | 00:51 |
| superkuh | I think rather than trying a bunch of cli stuff you should install synaptic package manager (ubuntu's package manager). https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/addremove-install-synaptic.html.en | 00:52 |
| superkuh | Then you can open it's GUI and look at the Broken packages list and get other information about problems with apt. | 00:52 |
| Guest17 | pkg mgr says 0 broken | 00:57 |
| superkuh | Is it the red triangle icon? | 00:59 |
| superkuh | Oh. Stop sign. You already said. | 01:00 |
| superkuh | I guess write down what it says with another computer or pen and paper? | 01:00 |
| Guest17 | Now the stop sign went away on it's own, SMH | 01:02 |
| superkuh | Computers! | 01:02 |
| Guest17 | Figures. | 01:03 |
| Guest17 | Now just to figure out where to report the Mate desktop bug | 01:04 |
