*Further to my last email when trying to launch PManager from Ubuntu tweak I
get the following message*

*
Also now if I attempt to launch from System/Administration/Update Manager I
get error message*

Could not initialise the package information

An unresolvable problem occurred while initialising the package information.

Please report this bug for the 'update-manager' package and try to include
the following error message:

'E:Malformed line 1 in source list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-tweak-stable.list (dist parse)'

It did work once

regards

Nigel

I have removed Ubuntu Tweak which seams to solve the problem.

A message states that I cannot run Ubuntu Tweak on a i386 system. For some
reason i think my install is i686 or at least it was for my old 10:04. My
processor is single core. Why Tweak worked on 10:04, makes no sense to me.

Could you tell me if I should be using a 386 install or 686 install and how
I go about changing it if necessary.

Regards

Nigel

Thanks Mark Rijckenberg, that solved my question.
