    Unable to install updates

    After installing 15.04, am having problems doing system updates. Getting:

    Is the problem that it can't find missing libs or that there's not enough space in tmp ?

    Thanks

    What's the output of
    Code:
    df /tmp
    
    dpkg -l | grep 'linux-'

        Hi ntuple (are you a math guy/gal, btw? -- asking because of the "n-tuple," Euclidean n-space and all that).

        It would help the helpers if you place your command and the output between "code" tags. You can easily do that by highlighting everything including "ntuple@zbz:~$ dpkg -l | grep 'linux-'" to and including the last line of output ("ii syslinux-legacy 2:3.63+dfsg-2ubuntu6 i386 Bootloader for Linux/i386 using MS-DOS floppies"), while highlighted, press that # button on the posting-edit menu (at the far right). (You can edit your post that way, if you so wish.)

          Hi Qqmike,

          I'm a fan of David Gelernter and of his many contributions to Computer Science including his work on n-space that underlies a variety of distributed computing ideas such as in Java.

          Pressing the star only takes me to that post in the thread and I can't get the code tag working properly but will try again.

          Still having the issue of installing updates. May go to 15.10 to solve the problem.
