In a terminal window, run these two commands:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get upgrade

If the latter wants to install stuff, answer "Y". That should let you
see what's going on. By all means paste the results here if not.

As to the text in the applet not being cut and pasteable, you could
always screenshot it and drop it in pastebin for us to look at...
