Looks Like you are trying to upgrade to a newer release? When it comes to Ultimate Edition, best thing to do is open synaptic-goto settings-preferences-Distribution- and make sure you tick "Always prefer the installed version." Then reload and hit mark upgrades. I'm not saying this will fix, but it will get you on the right track. Also make sure the update manager is closed when you open synaptic. That's most likely why you got those lock errors...

Thanks to all of you for your input and instruction. This has been more of a learning experience that I had wanted. :lol:
At any rate, I finally re-installed 3.2 and it finally allowed me to make the changes to the software sources that I could not do earlier.

I do have one more question: I am locked out of some folders because I don't have root privileges. I went to User Accounts but found no way of adding another Admin account or adding present Users to the different User Groups - as would have been possible in v3.0. I am trying to copy some of my favorite themes from 3.01 to 3.2 but am disallowed. Thanks.

Again, I appreciate your patience with a Noob.

Above is the response when I tried to download from the pkg site. Uploading screenshots always gives an 'invalid filename' error.


Ladies & Gentlemen, despite popular opinion I can not see the downfall of getdeb, however I did mirror them prior. Lets not choke TheeMahn's bandwidth:)
