Hi all,

Ultimate Edition 3.0
None of my packages are properly installed, they are all missing pieces.
What is the Terminal command to reinstall ALL installed packages.
Thank you
Chris.

pch.shot,
Thanks, but...

I downloaded Ultimate Edition 3.0
Md5Sum it, verify, then Burned it.
Check disk integrity was not an option when Booting / installing.
A large number of apps are not opening.
Checked logs dmesg etc found most apps were reported as 50% installed.
When I pick an installed app in synaptic and choose Reinstall, it seems most are missing pieces 40kb to Mb's "need to be downloaded".
1.) is there a way to Reinstall "All" apps in synaptic without having to high light each and choose reinstall? too time consuming.
I have not found a "Select All" option.

Thank you very much

Thank you very much for taking the time to help me!

When clicking thru different screen savers small view the wobbly Ultimate Edition start appeared and the screen darkened.
Here are the logs that were bold & the Nvidia lXorg log I thought might be relevant.

( Edit )

Many Thanks!

LinuxPusher.

some info for you on Nvidia Cards and Drivers:

in Ubuntu tweak - on the software source you will see - Ubuntu-X.
mark the source and apply.
That will update the source.list for Nvidia.
when it is done - close the Ubuntu Tweak and open terminl.

copy and past the commandes in the terminal+Enter.

Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update


Then :

Code: Select all
sudo apt-get upgrade



Now you will get in the upgrade all the new Drivers for you Video Card+others.
Apply in the terminal with - Y+ Enter.

when it is done Restart your machine and post back please.

Admin-Amir,

I really do appreciate the help. <BREW>
I will keep it for future use.
I completely lost my Grub and was unable to fix it with install DVD?
I tried twice to reload 3.0 from DVD but it failed at grub install??

I have installed Ultimate Edition 2.9, so far no problems.

Can I upgrade to 3.0 or do I need to do a clean install?

Thanks again.

As a last resort you can try a usb install.
