Nope - the GUI route for updating (i.e. 'Install Updates' in Menu/Favourites) is still not working,
as still get the error message  'couldn't fetch the package cache information lists'

Also no new /var/log/llupdates.log file has been created after deleting the existing one,
as Jerry suggested, so I can't report the contents for that file as there now isn't one.

The above doesn't bother me too much as instead I have been using the 'sudo apt-get'
command in terminal for updating/upgrading software.

Out of interest... Not sure if it will shed any more light on the issue.??
Open a terminal, and do:

Code:

gksudo /usr/scripts/updates-gui

See if it say's any more in the terminal window.?

Code:

gksudo /usr/scripts/updates-gui

Thanks Wirezfree - I tried what you suggested above : LL searched for updates but then
the same error message was returned.

Have you ever edited the /usr/scripts/updates-gui file?

Whats is the outust of: grep '^deb' -c /etc/apt/sources.list

Please post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list

Not that I know of - at least not intentionally.

Whats is the output of: grep '^deb' -c /etc/apt/sources.list

mike@LL-G750JS:~$ grep '^deb' -c /etc/apt/sources.list
21

Please post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list

The contents of /etc/apt/sources.list is merely a link to a window that pops
up, named 'Software & Updates' which has various boxes ticked, and 5 tabs at the top of
it labelled: Ubuntu Software; Other Software; Updates; Authentication;
and Additional Drivers.

However the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.d is as follows, using the terminal...

Code:

mike@LL-G750JS:~$ cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d mike@LL-G750JS:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ ls google-chrome.list google-chrome.list.save google-earth.list google-earth.list.save google-talkplugin.list google-talkplugin.list.save guadalinex-members-ppa-trusty.list jon-hedgerows-get-iplayer-trusty.list jon-hedgerows-get-iplayer-trusty.list.save kilian-f_lux-trusty.list kilian-f_lux-trusty.list.save libreoffice-ppa-trusty.list libreoffice-ppa-trusty.list.save linuxlite.list linuxlite.list.save mjblenner-ppa-hal-trusty.list mjblenner-ppa-hal-trusty.list.save nemh-systemback-trusty.list nemh-systemback-trusty.list.save otto-kesselgulasch-gimp-trusty.list otto-kesselgulasch-gimp-trusty.list.save team-xbmc-ppa-trusty.list team-xbmc-ppa-trusty.list.save ubuntu-wine-ppa-trusty.list ubuntu-wine-ppa-trusty.list.save umang-indicator-stickynotes-trusty.list umang-indicator-stickynotes-trusty.list.save mike@LL-G750JS:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$

Open /etc/apt/sources.list with Leafpad (Text Editor)

Thanks Jerry.  This is the output from /etc/apt/sources.list  , when I used leafpad:
