Greetings,

Just downloaded Mint v19 and tried to update it via the Update Manager. However the Update Manager tabs are all grayed out and cannot open.

I've been using Mint V18.3 KDE and it works just fine.

What am I missing, if anything, for is some thing broken in Mint V19?

I've fished around and tried a number of things but nothing I've tried gets the Update Manage working. I had though that the V19 would work just out of the box like V18 but it appears that much as change. Change for the sake of change is worthless.

More or less a newbie to this so any help resolving this issue will be much appreciated.

Thanks

permissions issue? are you sudo capable? did you update to v19 or install from scratch? is it the default desktop or another one you logged into?

Can you please right-click on the Update Manager icon in the system tray and select Quit.

Please then ensure that you have no other programs such as Synaptic or Software Manager running.

Then, please run the following command from the command line:

Let us know what terminal output, if any, you get.

Interesting, I have the same issue, but only with a native install on a Acer notebook, the install and update manager worked fine in a VM on VMware Workstation 14.

I tried suggestion above, closing and running sudo mintupdate. Didn't change anything, update manager greyed out.

No messages in terminal window.
