My update packages program does not work!
Recently, my laptop began failing to run through the updater download packages routines and gives me constantly a failed to download packages message.
I am not familiar with software writing, so i depended on it to run without failures, and answers in here, seem to indicate that you have to be an author or editor of basic, or assembly code so i hope an answer is involving removing and reloading some other version of a later type of ubuntu update program.
I have tried to remove and reload the update manager, and it constantly fails to work, as well as the smart package manager i just loaded.
i have a hp pavilion zv 5330 with a 3.2ghz cpu, 1.2 gb ram, 250gb hdd. the version of linux used occupies 220mb or so, and i have run linux inthis laptop for months and nothing was wrong with anything until i updated to 11.10, and soon after that, i copuld not update packages. it has not been used daily, more like every week or 3. is it possible that my virgin mobil 3g modem would be so slow as to cause this? i doubt that as it works on every other pc here i use linux on, at 11.10 updated level, all the time. the trouble is in only this laptop. it gets almost to the end of the packages list progress bar, then fails out every time, with a message to check my internet connection, which is ridiculous...it is connected and working. all my other pcs in 11.10 linux work fine with this modem updating with the same update manager s/w.
