Ubuntu
gnome-nettool package

installArchives() Failures.

Asked by Sketch Reed

I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10 on my HP Mini. So here's the problem. No matter what I try to install--even the proprietary driver to actually access the Internet (I'm using a wireless adapter at the moment...working fine), I get this message.

System Error
installArchives() Failed.

Or something like that. What is this "installArchives", and how the heck do I fix it?

I apologize I did not mean to be a source for answers about Ubuntu ...It is
actually I that needs help for I am brand new to this system and have very
little skill sets when it comes to knowing my way around....I do apologize,
I can assure you though that the level of knowledge and help that I have
received amongst the Open Source / Launch Pad and Overall Ubuntu help
experience has been more than adequate, in fact down right helpful...so I AM
SURE SOMEONE WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS PROPERLY AND BEST OF LUCK!

Respectfully,

Sebastian Powell

Well, I added the newest update, and it seems to be working fine now. I have no idea why, but I ain't complaining.
