got an error message and i can't seem to get ubuntu-bug program manager to work.

There seems to be a problem with the local copy of the package index (containg information about packages that can be installed).

To check for the details please do the following:

Open a terminal window (e.g. by simultaneously pressing ctrl-alt-t) and enter the following commands:

lsb_release -a
uname -a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

The third command will request that you to enter your password, please type it in, but you have to be aware that you will not get any feedback when doing so (no echo, not even '*' placeholders).

When this is done, select all output (by using the terminal window's menu entry "edit - select all"), copy it ("edit - copy") and paste everything into this question document that we can check.

thanks that did it!!! r

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.
