Hi,
Trying to use the System Updater, it always just stops after downloading and unpacking some packages but before it finishes the process, apparently. I see this error message:
I saw another poster here with the same problem. Someone told him to just use apt-get in terminology. OK, I can do that, but the thing is, all the packages I tried updating with System Updater, were they updated or not?
They don't show up in System Updater anymore. But, the process didn't seem to have finished. And I didn't write down their names, so there's no way I can try to update then again with terminology. What would be the state of those packages? Will they cause malfunctioning of bodhi or the apps?
Well, I did what you told me, and during the updating a message showed up in the terminal window, something about the Grub file being locally modified, and would it keep that or update it with the file from the package manager. I chose the later.
Now, everytime I try to suspend or switch off or whatever, a window pops up with this message:
"Moksha has had an error while writing its config file. The file is not writable. Perhaps the disk is read-only or you lost permission to your files. The file where the error ocurred was "home/mydrive/.e/e/config/profile.cfg.temp". The file has been deleted to avoid corrupt data."
And it cannot suspend itself or anything. I'm seeing I'll just have to re-install bodhi 5.0.0...

Ok, let us know how it goes.
Just as an aside, I always go for the status quo in any Grub update choices (i.e. I choose to keep the local file) and it has worked for me so far.
