Second try. I deleted my Virtual Machines, re-installed from the .iso, and tried this solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11558447
Step 1: Open a Konsole and type: sudo apt-get update (I had to supply my password) sudo apt-get upgrade (It asked me if I was willing to give it space to download the updates, and I said Y. It appeared to run successfully and after some 10+ minutes of updates flying by, it gave me back my bash prompt) exit (to close the Konsole) Step 2: Re-boot (I used the Kickoff Application Launcher, Leave, Shut Down, Turn Off, which automatically exits VMware Player) Step 3: Seems to work, and this time the notifier tells me only six security updates are available. So, I cross my fingers and do the graphical update with Muon. It appeared to be successful, and I closed Muon and noticed the System Notification Helper reported that A system restart is needed to complete the update process. Step 4: Re-boot (I used the Kickoff Application Launcher, Leave, Shut Down, Turn Off, which automatically exits VMware Player) Step 5: SUCCESS! No pending updates, posting this from rekonq on an up- to-date Kubuntu 11.10 in a VMWare VM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/855793 Title: Kubuntu 11.10 beta 1: Error upgrading using muon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/855793/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
