-
Can you try the Lite Tweaks>Package Cache
first, then try update, if failing try
Lite Tweaks>Package System Repair again
After this can you put the screen shot of results here https://imgbb.com/ (https://imgbb.com/)
then paste the code between IMG tags so I can see it on the forum
-
its done
-
Thank You.
From the screenshot, it shows you have partially installed packages on your system, it may work to clean the Package cache then Repair it.
If not working, then try, hold down Ctrl and Alt Keys and press t, to open terminal, then type in
sudo apt-get update
enter your password when requested
then
sudo apt-get upgrade
and post any errors from the terminal output on the forum
-
it get error on upgrade too:

-
In terminal -
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gconf2
if it is failing to update still afterwards try
sudo apt-get remove --purge gconf2 && sudo apt-get install gconf2

-
if your terminal is not accepting
&&
split in to 2 commands, entered individually, before && (first command), and after && (second command), then not using && in either command.

i edit it it get error as bellow:

You will need to wait for one of the LL staff or developers to assist you.
Removing them would not be good it says, it doesn't remove them as you have not typed the command it tells you to type.I won't add the command below as it may be potentially harmful it says to use this, at this time.
-
Try now (for no installation candidate)
sudo apt-get update
So that the APT database knows the software sources.
After this you may need to do
sudo apt-get upgrade
-
thanks for your reply

-
Most of these (if not all) are to do with Python3 not being configured.
-
That's a hell of a mess you have there. A 10 minute reinstall of the OS is a much more efficient use of time in this instance. Then go through and read the Help Manual for a clear overview of how to use LL. Cheers :)
-
@Jerry is this the bug from HPLIP updates and Python3 ?
-
@bitsnpcs unsure. Which bug? Do you have link?
-
I just noticed it from @atpersian last post and search results, the link - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1056780/cant-upgrade-update-ubuntu-18-04-as-apt-dpkg-error-is-showing-up (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1056780/cant-upgrade-update-ubuntu-18-04-as-apt-dpkg-error-is-showing-up)
It is too complex for me to know how to assist though.
-
maybe both .
i just try to update via lite update and just chagne "Ununtu software donwload from server Address"
after that i get error on all update and install
-
Which server address did you change to, this may help other LL users ?
-
@bitsnpcs possibly, it looks similar.
-
i dont think so
i change it to Main Server and rebuild but error still exist .
i change it to our country Server , tree server check
-
@Jerry is it possible to fix ?

Okay, if it occurs again with updates please restart the thread so it becomes known it is a repetitive issue.

and girls too ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
@bitsnpcs most things are possible to fix. But there needs to be the following considerations: time, ability of user, number of steps involved, language barrier etc.
-
@Jerry Thank You for explaining, I understand better now :)
-
You're very welcome :)

Dear All

What version of VirtualBox do you have installed, please post a screenshot of the About box. And where are you getting the extension pack from?

Uninstall everything VirtualBox making note of each application. Then reinstall all but the extension pack. Get the correct extension pack version from the VB website. Full instructions for installing VB are also in the Help Manual.
