[ SOLVED ] Computer will not update - PPA

[Rapidrob]

Working great again.

[Rapidrob]

I double checked the PPA list and Stacer was still shown with old info. I deleted it and now the computer will update again!
Thank you for the reminder to check the PPA list.

[stevef]

Have you removed the stacer software and related ppa repository as advised in post 4 ?

[Rapidrob]

The other command will end with " reading package list" but will not populate any data even after several minutes.

Please post your error logs if you are having problems with updates. You can re-run the update and upgrade commands and make them record the results to text files.  If you post the text files back here it might show what is happening.

To do this, open a terminal by pressing 'Ctrl' 'Alt' and 'T' keys together.

In the terminal window, type or paste in these commands followed by return/enter each time. Answer any prompts and enter your password if asked.

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update | tee ~/"$(date +"%Y_%m_%d_%T")-apt-get-update.txt"

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get upgrade | tee ~/"$(date +"%Y_%m_%d_%T")-apt-get-upgrade.txt"
Running those commands should create two files called apt-get-update.txt and apt-get-upgrade.txt in your home directory.  The filenames will be prefixed with date and time information.  You can open them to review what they contain.
Post back attaching the two files.

[Rapidrob]

I cannot upgrade /update from the command line.

[Rapidrob]

I cannot update from the command line anymore.

[stevef]

It would have been odd if the command line worked ok.

The version of Linux Lite being used is focal based.  The stacer PPA software does not have a release compatible with focal.  This conflict is causing the update process to error.  The incompatible stacer software should be removed from the system.

After removing the stacer application, ensure that the stacer PPA reference is removed from the update list.
Removing the PPA reference from the update list should allow the update to run.

See
https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/software.html#pparem

If using PPA software, it is important that the PPA has a release that is compatible with the OS in use.

See this link for advice on selecting and installing PPAs
https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/software.html#ppa

[Rapidrob]

Turns out the command line will no longer update as well.

I can update / upgrade from the command line.

Do you mean you can successfully update from the command line ?
If yes, that would be odd.  In order to work out what is going on, please can you run the commands you are using and post them and the resulting output back here?
