update-manager -d not appearing after interrupted upgrade tp 9.10

Asked by Niloc Deeps

Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 and tried to upgrade to 9.10.
While I was doing this, the internet failed and I got a message saying this, and that "all files so far have been saved".
I'm trying to upgrade again now, but I can't get the distribution upgrade manager to come up.
I've tried "sudo update-manager -d" from the terminal , and also "update-manager -d" after pressing alt+F2.
I also get the following after checking for new updates -

GPG error: http://archive.canonical.com intrepid Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <email address hidden>GPG error: http://th.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <email address hidden>GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <email address hidden>Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gasp-deb/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I didn't think Intrepid would have anything to do with 9.04 or 9.10.
Thanks in advance

I think something is wrong with your source list.Type in terminal

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

and post output here.

Intrepid might be left over from previous upgrade to Jaunty and wasn't commented out with '#'.

Make sure other apps aren't running, like Synaptic, Software Center, update-manager and fix sources.list
If unsure you could create a 'clean' one.

Test and update:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Clean up:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

Thanks for your replies. Sorry I haven't answered sooner, but I haven't been able to connect to the internet for a while.
I tried fixing the source list as stated by Sam, but it hasn't made any difference.
Here is the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list:

I also get a slightly different message on "checking for updates":

Thanks. Output indicates no update to 9.10 so far.

#1
Since your sources.list still contents intrepid and others, I'd simply delete the whole content in order to create a 'clean' one and to achieve a fully updated 9.04.
If 9.04 is updated properly update-manager should present automatically an upgrade to 9.10.
Actually there is no need for 'update-manager -d', if the settings are 'normal releases' in system administration -> software sources.

#btw. for the future keep in mind, backports, third party repositories may cause upgrade issues.

#2
Maybe internet connection issues occur because of thai server.
Is it possible for you to switch to 'main server'?
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Sources4.png

Examples:
Lets say you'd like to get repositories from thai server a 'clean' sources.list may content this and nothing else:

#### OFFICIAL UBUNTU REPOS ####

###### Ubuntu Main Repos
deb http://th.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted universe multiverse

###### Ubuntu Update Repos
deb http://th.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://th.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates main restricted universe multiverse

In case you'd like to keep your current sources.list it needs a little modification and the content may look exactly like this:

# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted
#deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted

(Above sources.list implies that 'main server' is elected in 'software sources'.)
Command to open and edit sources.list:
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

After you've created your favourite sources.list, make sure neither GUI, update-manager or Synaptic, is running.
Try this to fully update 9.04 first and in case post any error message.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

In case of errors:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install

Clean up the cache:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

# If uncertain and before creating more issues please don't hesitate to ask.
