Ubuntu Installation :: Update Manager - Software Center Do Not Work
Jan 13, 2011Update manager and software center both run, but when I click on "install," they both just sit there and don't respond. If I run software center from a command line, I get the error "WARNING - _on_trans_error: org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.Failed." (There are no updates right now, so I can't get an error from the update manager.) Apparently they aren't invoking gksudo or whatever it is they need to elevate privileges. I can get around this by running them as root, but it is kind of annoying. I'm really surprised that no one else has had this problem, but I've searched it a number of times and I can't find any indication of someone having the same symptoms.

Ubuntu :: Synaptic, Update Manager, And Software Center Not Working
Jun 4, 2010this happened to me before, where when I try to open Software Center, Synaptic package manager, or update manager, it would freeze with the window open and I would have to force it to shut down. I decided to re-install the OS after this happened and I just updated ubuntu and it is happening again.

Ubuntu :: Update Manager - Package Manager Won't Work
Feb 4, 2010Ok so I having the same issue as everyone else but it still exists despite the solutions other people are experiencing. Update manager, synaptic, and apt-get are not working no aptitude on here. Update manager says: An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, Eroblem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_ i18n_Translation-en%5fUS, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.' apt-get has errors with headers, finding files, and wrong file types. I have gone to a couple locations and the files exist and the hash is correct, and the file types are correct. I have tried replacing the sources file. I have tried sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update with the same problem happening upon updating. In the same exact areas.

Mar 16, 2011I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my EEEPC 1000-HA. I don't have a CDROM because it's a netbook. Everytime I try to do an update, Update Manager says that I must insert the Ubuntu CDROM. It gives me no option to change location so that I can use my USB drive. I can't get updates due to this issue. How do I install the needed files so Update Manager can get updates?

Jun 10, 2010I can't seem to get apt-get or the update manager to work consistently since I upgraded to 10.04. First, I get a regular segmentation fault on about a daily basis, I run sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin as I saw in other threads, and then it usually works.
However now anytime I try to update, upgrade or install, I get the following error:
