Problems with updating linux Mint 14
Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2012 8:29 am
Hi,
I just installed linux Mint 14 Nadia with the Cinnamon desktop (32 bits)
After installation is done the update manager pops up and warns me that I have 123 updates available, so i click the update manager icon and enters my password, and the manager opens. Then I check "mark all". and has 123 updates marked. Next i click "install updates".. and it turns grey for a little while, then the whole update manager closes and again i get the icon on the side of the clock telling me again that i have 123 updates available...
When i open the log of the update manager to see what went wrong, i see this text :
++ Launching mintUpdate in root mode
++ Starting refresh
++ Auto-refresh timer is going to sleep for 15 minutes, 0 hours and 0 days
++ Found 123 recommended software updates
++ Refresh finished
++ Install requested by user
++ Will install mdm
(then it list all the updates it WILL update, but then at the end of the list, this is what it shows))
++ Ready to launch synaptic
(synaptic:2579): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_set_data: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
(synaptic:2579): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance
(synaptic:2579): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
++ Return code:139
++ Install finished
++ Starting refresh
++ Found 123 recommended software updates
++ Refresh finished"
I have no idea what is wrong here, and i get the same fault if i try and run Synaptic directly as well.. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
