Does anyone else have the latest version of Ubuntu? I have been trying to update it, and it keeps saying the daeman has died, so wtf? Has anyone else had this problem? I'm seriously contemplating destroying my laptop, I know in the end I wont, but still. :bang:
You're going to have to be a lot more specific than that. I am an Arch Linux user, but I started off on Ubuntu. Why can't you just do this? Code: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Maybe post the output of that or whatever error it is you're getting. There are a lot of daemons that run on Linux systems. (Daemons are passive services that run in the background.)
To be honest I know absolutely nothing about Ubuntu at all. My sister screwed my laptop up, and my exe's dad put Ubuntu on it without really explaining it to me. ---------- Post added 2nd Oct 2013 at 11:22 PM ---------- <-- maybe this helps? This is what keeps popping up.
I tired this. Ok I feel way too stupid about this. I type the code in a terminal right? If so, when I do it will not let me type a password. Like it just wont let me type anything else. -_-.... <-- This is all I'm getting.
When you use sudo to type in your password, it doesn't show the characters you typed. That's a security feature. It still knows that you typed it. Just type your password and hit enter.
I forgot to put in my last post that was all I got when I did type in my password and hit enter. -_- I'm sorry I'm probably being difficult..I'm not meaning to.
Don't be sorry, I am just trying to follow what you are doing. Do you get this error all the time (as in, you've restarted and still get this?) So what about Code: sudo apt-get full-upgrade Also, you don't have to send a screen capture, you can just copy paste the console. EDIT: Sorry, I didn't get that it was your sister's account, not yours...
Yes I do get this message a lot, even after restarting. And it seems I cannot remember the right freaking password.
Well, if you're entering the sudo password wrong, it just tells you the password is wrong. From what it looked like in your screen capture, something was happening, but it wasn't what needed to be happening... Anyway, the sudo password will be the password of the "jessica" account.
See that's what made no sense to me. When using the first thing you told me I put in the password and it did something, this time around with the next thing I enter the same password. And by the way it's not my sister's account lol. It's she would slam her hand down on the laptop itself if the internet was messing up. I didn't know about her doing this until a bit later when she finally told me. My laptop has been through hell because of other people, no one is allowed to touch it now. Anyways this is what happens when I put the second thing you said to do : jessica@jessica-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get full-upgrade [sudo] password for jessica: E: Invalid operation full-upgrade jessica@jessica-laptop:~$
I wonder if something is just fucked up in dpkg land (that's the package manager). Let's see if you can get updates manually. If not, please post the errors: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

Okay, the update was successful. Did you run the upgrades successfully? (Hit y and enter if you haven't already.) Also, I am seeing that Linux packages are being held back. After this upgrade is successful, please run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
OK then, yeah I went back and hit y. It's doing things right now, taking a bit but finally doing something. Ok so it got through that process and at the end of it I noticed this: Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/winbind_2%3a3.6.6-3ubuntu5.2_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get -f sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade sudo apt-get
So I just tried that. It eneded up saying unable to locate package. And my computer is soo messed up right now. It is running slower now, cannot connect to wifi, volume doesn't work, dro down menu to shut it down doesn't work either. I have no idea what is going on. I can get to teh update amanger but as I did earlier to install updates it froze on me and ever since my laptop is just so...idk.
Too be honest I'm not so sure about the first one. And if anything needs to be saved I have a way of doing that.
