Comment 9 for bug 1170368

Hi,
you sent two notes , the other oen suggested the sme command as last time and still failed.
yes i do have a nvidia graphics card.
first command below runs but second one, does it have a syntax error ?
2. sudo apt-get dist-uprade

is that "dist-upgrade" because of so it says invalid operation ?

what happens next ?

Thanks,
Peter
