Ubuntu
apt package

Not all ubdates can be installed

Asked by GODSMACK

Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible.

This can be caused by:

  A previous upgrade which didn't complete
  Problems with some of the installed software
  Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
  Normal changes of a pre-release version of Ubuntu

The following error appears when i start the update manager, if chose to close there will be many updates i will not be able to install, & if i chose Partial Upgrade it tells me (( Error authenticating some packages ))

Who can i make the updates run normally again?

Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
