Ubuntu
update-manager package

Update Manager started updating then got stuck

Asked by Margaret Mackintosh

The update manager started to update 17 files about Adobe Flash Player, Thunderbird and Gnome. It had got 3/4 finished when it started just sitting there. That was a half hour ago. It is stuck on the Adobe Flash Player Plugin Installer... What ever it is doing won't let me work online. I now do not have a Flash Player installed. I downloaded Flash Player 11 for Linux but guess it is not installed as I still cannot do things online. I cannot Cancel the updating or close the update window. Any suggestions? I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS...

Hi Margaret Mackintosh ,

combining this question with your other question here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/224337
probably you have some problem with your network , or something similar.

See if you reboot your modem/router help this situation.

If you reboot and run:

sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a; uname -a

What is the output?

Thanks

All is fine now. Took several hours but finally finished updating. Also no problem getting on Launchpad now either.
