RED triangle on top right hand side

Asked by Rich.b

Two or three times there has been a red triangle with a ! mark in the centre of it.

If I click on it say something like that links to updates may by broken and that software updates are out of date, also that I should click on CHECK, which I did, after the system checked links to Ubuntu.com not much seam to have changed.

Please could anyone enlighten me as to why this red triangle is for and what happened when I click on CHECK?

Dell 2400 Dimension 2GB ram OS Ubuntu 12.04 (kept updated very time there are any updates)

Thanks for any information about this.

Is it smooth?

Thanks again Andrew, Yes all looked smooth to me.

Update Manager was saying that there was some 30 + days since any updates.

NOW it is saying that package information was just updated.

So all seams well.....thanks
