Hi,

Is this still a problem?
Does firehol still work, or has it locked down your system?

Everytime I update or add something to my laptop that comes up, I dont know what it is supposed to do, so I dont know what it is doing.

  My desktop had the same error, but my desktop will no longer open with Ubuntu, I can only us XP my secondary OS.

Hi,
Sorry its taken me so long to reply, life has been a bit manic for me (I was recently made redundant).

Have you posted a bug or a support request about your desktop's Ubuntu install?

It sounds like there might be a dependancy error... can you try opening a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and running the following command?

sudo apt-get upgrade

What that command will do is tell your computer to try to upgrade all the progams on it to the latest version. Can you copy and paste the error message(s) that come up here please?

Thanks

I'm looking into this issue for you now..

Hi,

Can you try running:
"sudo apt-get remove firehol" which should remove firehol. Then try running the update and see if it works.

If it does, try then installing firehol ("sudo apt-get install firehol"), and see if it installs cleanly or not...

Technical details/notes: It appears that there is a intermittent bug in the firehol install process which is not installing all the files. So far, I've been unable to replicate this one, so pinning it down is proving to be be problematic. I don't think that this is a particular problem with upgrading, but it may be..

That seemed to work, I didn't get the error after removing firehol, then

Firehol is still blocking your packaging system.. did you try removing it with the command I gave you?

Please can you open a terminal, run the command "uname -a", and post the results here?

heh... thanks... ignore my last comment... (I took too long writing it :))

Can you now try installing firehol, and see if it sticks again?

Ok, so there's definatly something wrong with the firehol install process. Lets see if we can nail it down...

Firstly, can you run the following command for me, and upload the resulting file?
uname -a > uname.log

Also, can you upload the /var/log/dpkg.log file? (if you need help uploading, let me know)

Thanks in advance
