Thanks. I didn't try the above as I finally found this which worked
cd /var
sudo \
rm lib/update-notifier/user.d/data-downloads-failed-permanently \
lib/update-notifier/user.d/data-downloads-failed

Guest repliedAs you are getting these error message relating to a previous attempt to install something after you login I can only guess that there is something in your aptitude database which is causing this to happen. If you use the following command in terminal to clear the database it should resolve the issue.
Code:sudo apt-get clear
Code:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Can't get rid of system update information error
I get the following error message on login
Data files for some packages could not be downloaded.
The following packages requested additional data downloads after package installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be processed... flashplugin-installer.. This is a permanent failure that leaves these packages unusable on your system. You may need to fix your internet connection, then remove and reinstall the packages to fix this problem.
This occured after updating. When it requested to download the files they downloaded but during the update procees i got an error. Unfortunately i can't remember the exact message except that the command started with
stat.......
and ended with
not found
I have uninstalled flash then reinstalled it whereupon it requested the extra files. These were downloaded and installed without problems and flash player appears to work fine however the message appears every time i log in.
Any ideas?Last edited by paradox; Dec 10, 2014, 10:08 AM.Tags: None
