Title: No Updates Available
Post by: Earthenware on November 26, 2016, 05:21:00 AM
Ever since I removed Google Chrome and MySQL a few weeks ago, the software updater has been telling me that there are "No Updates Available".

In order to fully purge that pesky MySQL I found some esoteric commands on the Ubuntu site (no, I don't remember) and I think I may have affected the update sources or done something else nasty.

Is there any way to return the update function to its "default" settings without having to reinstall LL altogether?

llupdates.log shows no record when I attempt updates now.

Check the following:

1- Show us your ubuntu base /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.save (they should be fine if they were reset)

Code: [Select]
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
Code: [Select]
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.save
Next list  /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Code: [Select]
ls -la /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Show us linuxlite.list and linuxlite.list.save

Code: [Select]
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxlite.list

the software updater has been telling me that there are "No Updates Available".
With your profile information, Linux Lite is "2.4". Is this correct?
If this is correct, there should be few updates to the package recently,
and the display of "No Updates Available" is considered normal.
