Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
Via the software update notification, I get package updates, but there are also some distribution updates identified. The package updates install OK, then I am prompted to run a distributiuon update.
When accepting, I get the "preparing upgrade" dialog, then the following error:
Could not calculate the upgrade.
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/
I'm not sure how to go about including the files here. There are 3, apt.log, main.log and term.log (which is empty).
The last few lines of apt.log look interesting:
MarkUpgrade() called on a non-upgrable pkg: 'ubuntu-desktop'
The application 'update-manager' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.
I also have a screenshot of the above error. I can provide them all if necessary.
I hope that is enough info, let me know if more is needed, this is my first bug report!
Thanks for your bugreport.
It looks like the nvidia-glx and nvidia- kernel- 1.0.9629 was installed from a 3rd party source that is not compatible with the ubuntu version numbering schema. Could you please add your sources.list?
You can try to remove the nvidia-glx and nvidia- kernel- 1.0.9629 packages and install the ones from ubuntu instead. But be careful you may end up on a shell without X.
Cheers,
Michael
