Hi Thanks for the advise Hilton I did it and it downloaded and installed alot of new stuff, but then gave me this error: Fetched 1 112 kB in 3min 15s (5 696 B/s) Reading package lists... Done W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: <a href="http://extras.ubuntu.com">http://extras.ubuntu.com</a> precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 16126D3A3E5C1192 Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key <<a href="mailto:ftpmaster@ubuntu.com">ftpmaster@ubuntu.com</a>> W: Failed to fetch <a href="http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release">http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release</a> W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. What does this mean, is it possible for the Za servers not to have the full packages?

But it seems my system doesn't remember that it is updated and then says the last time it was, was over a 14 days ago. Then this red triangle appears with an exclamation mark in the top right bar. Keep on updating, it keeps on coming back. What to do, any thoughts anyone? Thanks Leon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Open a terminal. Type CTL+ALT+t on your keyboard. 2. Type this in the terminal without the quotes. "sudo apt-get update". 3. Type this in the terminal without the quotes. "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". 4. Follow the instructions.
