You are right; it was incorrectly set, FIXED now, THANKS.

The permissions for the download directory were incorrectly set, FIXED now. THANKS.

|| 3. I try to bring up SoftwareSources on one of my systems and the little

|
|wrong password?
Correct password is being used(verified it just now). If the password was not correct the System>Administration menu does not even display the SoftwareSources line in the list. In addition all my systems have a regular user and an administrative user assigned, regular users are NOT allowed to use sudo.
|
||
|| 4. On that same system when I try to do check in the UpdateManager
|| window after it says your system is up to date it never completes justs
|| grays the window out and sits there. Why?
Again the correct passowrd is being used here (see above).
||
|| Note: #3 & #4 work fine on the others.
||
|| I think this distribution and the community support it has is the best
|| in the business.
||
|| Cheers,
|| Jay
||
|| PS I am only 67, just a kid, been using computers since 1965, Unix since
|| 1992, Linux since release 0.99 & Ubuntu since 5.10

Thanks for the reply, I might add that in my PS when I said used I meant as in programming/software development/software engineering management.
Cheers,
Jay
