That's cool, I just didn't get why you guys didn't just show the hardware like in the devices section rather than have another section for internet.  I understand sometimes you just have something different in mind than what would seem obvious to others.  No big deal.  :)

Just a thought here but why not just show which interface(s) is/are active instead of ip addresses?
Sorry for the late reply avj.
There could be a lot of them, not much place left on the system info page
Code: [Select]
ifconfig -a | sed 's/[ \t].*//;/^\(lo\|\)$/d'
eth0
eth1
eth2
ovs-system
ovsbr0
vmnet1
vmnet8

Wonderful, just some advice.. when you have an issue with a repo and it mentions the key/signature like that. Please tell us, or look at the upstream vendor for that repo. It's extremely unsafe for you the user.

Lets say spotify's website was hijacked or "hacked", they could inject some nasty code under the guise of the spotify client. (sounds crazy, but thats why we got signatures for the repo/deb files and stuff)

Bottomline, be safe and don't be afraid to point out errors. And thank you for the time figuring this problem out, we know what the problem is likely to be in the future.

I only added the Spotify and Inkscape repos as far es I can remember.
The Spotify repo causes some errors when updating. They come and go and since Spotify doesn't get many updates I tend to ignore it.

Code: [Select]
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.
GPG error: http://repository.spotify.com stable InRelease:
The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:
NO_PUBKEY 13B00F1FD2C19886

W: Failed to fetch http://repository.spotify.com/dists/stable/InRelease 

W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

APT Policy:
http://pastebin.com/W0nNycBR

Code: [Select]
ls -l /var/lib/apt/periodicOutput:
Code: [Select]
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 17 06:38 update-stamp

When you installed did you run
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D2C19886
They have been known to change their key time to time, a bad practice lol. Give that command a run, and repeat the update command as before. And lemme know if the same error occurs.

For the record this is the issue, when a failure occurs the file wont be run. Basicly if successful do > update file. So the repo isn't being updated proper. Causing this odd bug. It's been reported to apt upstream, hopefully gets fixed lol.

System Report

Figuring this out is always a headache lol. But have you added any repos since your initial install?

If you have can you run
Code: [Select]
apt-cache policy > aptpolicy.txt
and upload aptpolicy.txt for me.

When you run update, do you see ANY errors? Can you copy/paste all the output from running
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get update
Lastly, can you run
Code: [Select]
ls -l /var/lib/apt/periodicAnd share that output.

My first thought was use of a 3rd party apt tool at one stage, but that seems fine. All the post install config stuff is still fairly default. But atm I'am thinking something is failing when update is run, if not all the db stuff is fetched it may cause the update trigger to not execute. Thanks for the time spent trying to solve this.

Everything looks ok on my old netbook.  The amount of memory in the image is an issue with my hardware not the program.

Code: [Select]
cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/15update-stampOutout:
Code: [Select]
APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success {"touch /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp 2>/dev/null || true";};
After running
Code: [Select]
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stampand
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
the control center says "Updates not been done, Please update soon"

Code: [Select]
stat /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stampOutput:
Code: [Select]
stat: cannot stat ‘/var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp’: No such file or directory

So it looks like SOMETHING is acting up here.

run this, and then upload the file aptdump.txt here or pastebin etc.
Code: [Select]
apt-config dump > aptdump.txt
And if you would be so kind, create a system report (either in control center or located in the menu MENU>SYSTEM> CREATE SYSTEM REPORT)

This will let me see some of the things installed on your setup and figure what's causing this conflict.

Just to confirm shaggy, that works here on my test box. Must be some kind of issue on UltraCookie's end.

I ran
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Output from
Code: [Select]
stat /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stampstayed exactly the same.

Can you run
Code: [Select]
cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/15update-stamp
and share the output here.

After that, run
Code: [Select]
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp
And re-run the update command.

Whats happening here is that the control center is doing a simple update check on a blank file thats generated by default on the system. But for some reason yours isnt updating. It may be an issue with perms or something odd. But if you can show me whats in your 15update-stamp file it's a start to fixing this. Thank you for your time and help fixing bugs, it helps us all :-p
