No progress window during updating process.

Jerry,

CPU usage in very low single figures and 172MB out of 992MB ram used,
update/dist-upgrade run from teminal with no errors reported.

If it is any significance (from other update problem reports),  language and keyboard is English UK.

Thank you.

Please run Install Updates using the command from Reply #1, with nothing else open make sure that everything is closed first and that Resource Usage reports minimal cpu and ram usage, then report back.

Thank you, Jerry, your efforts are most appreciated.

Thanks, I'll look into it this week. If you continue to get problems with this, do in a terminal:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
to get updates.

Jerry,

OK, ran an update today from terminal as requested, list of updates window opened, clicked on 'Update', window closed followed by this output to terminal:

user@901:~$ pkexec /usr/scripts/updates-gui
awk: cmd. line:1: (FILENAME=- FNR=16) fatal: division by zero attempted

A long period of high CPU usage (64% to 100%) with no progress indication and eventually the 'Updates completed successfully' window appeared. Closing that window returned me to the terminal prompt with no further messages.

Thank you for lookng into this.

If there are no other outputs, then there are no updates that need installing.

Thank you, much appreciated, just done that and apart from 'Updating software sources-please wait' and 'Your system is up to date' there are no other outputs.

I will try again in a few days when some updates might be available.

This section is fine. You are trying to install software via Install Updates.

Next time you do updates, open a terminal and do it this way:

Code: [Select]

pkexec /usr/scripts/updates-gui
and report all the output.

LL3.6 - Updates seem to work but after receiving the updates available list, I get no progress indication until the update finished message appears. Running updates again tells me that the system is up to date. Could it be that the progress window is somehow positioned  off screen due to a corrupted config file?

(Other update problems are in this section so I guess its OK to leave this here.)
