[SOLVED] Updating problem with Linux Mint

teboil12 · 09-27-2016, 07:13 AM

Hello! Every time my computer asks me to update some program I get a report of some kind of a problem, like this (some of it is in Finnish, hope it don´t matter):

How can this be solved? Thankful for any advice!

Hi...

Is your copy of Mint using systemd? From what I understand, as far as Ubuntu is concerned, this issue has to do with a conflict between Upstart and systemd. The latter has replaced the former for init tasks.

Please see the links below for some possible solutions and more in depth explanations of why this problem has occurred...

You can also go through my Google search here.

Please note that I can't guarantee the above solutions will work for Mint.

EDIT: If you are using Mint in a VM, please see this article instead.

Regards...

Lets's find out!

Code:

cat /proc/1/comm

I'd run

Code:

mintsources

and remove the spotify PPA/whatever and refresh the cache and try again.
else in terminal:

Code:

inxi -c 0 -Sr | pastebin

Can we have that url when you run it?
System info and repos, is all. Thanks.

Hi Habitual!

cat /proc/1/com gives me systemd

the Spotify PPA seems not to be relevant, because I have the same problem with ALL UPDATES!!!, for example I have several incidents where the update manager wants me to update LibreCAD again and again...

inxi -c 0 -Sr pastebin gives me : https://gist.github.com/6117a1ca6007...d54d6f0eda6375

What can you make out of this?

hydrurga · 09-28-2016, 03:53 AM

The update appears to be failing on Spotify so I would disable the Spotify PPA if I were you, as per Habitual's advice, and see if you still get errors.

What distro are you running? You normally wouldn't be running systemd as the init system if you're on Linux Mint 17.3 as it says in your profile, unless you've specifically installed it as such.

teboil12 · 09-28-2016, 06:44 AM

OK!

Spotify PPA disabled. I´ll let you know what next update looks like, today before disabling Spotify I had another update (cannot remember what update it was), giving me the same kind of error announcement, referring not to Spotify but to the program that was being updated.

By the way, I also updated my profile (sorry for the delay), I use Linux Mint 18 Sarah Cinnamon.

Hi...

Please post that error message.

Today I was asked to update Samba, here is the message. By the way, every time I get the message and close it, the update continues in a normal way, so could there be just some minor problem somewhere (just asking)?

For info, did you upgrade Linux Mint 17.3 in-situ to Linux Mint 18, or did you install Linux Mint 18 from scratch?

Also, are you using Mint on bare metal or in a virtual machine?

teboil12 · 09-29-2016, 06:52 AM

In situ, no virtual machine.

Ok. Something may well have gone awry with that process (you shouldn't be needing to refer to Upstart in Linux Mint 18). Did the upgrade process produce any errors, and how long after the upgrade took place did the update errors begin?

Habitual · 09-29-2016, 08:49 AM

Code:

sudo apt-get install -f

should try to repair what it thinks is broken and it may or may not prompt you for
Y/N on a corrective action. I'd accept the default and allow it, if it were me.

You may have to run it twice just to be certain it got fixed before running

Code:

sudo apt-get update

and see if the error persists.

and show us the commands you are using, not just the output, PLEASE when you post code snippets.

Here's mine (clean for comparison)

Code:

sudo apt-get install -f
[sudo] password for jj:        
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 15 not upgraded

You have non-Mint installed software sources.
The first thing is to use defaults and get your system stable and then
add your foreign sources one at a time, and immediately check using

Code:

sudo apt-get update

after every addition.

Thank you.

Did you make a backup of your system before the upgrade? If so, I would suggest that you revert to that backup and redo the upgrade process, taking note of any errors produced.

teboil12 · 12-31-2016, 04:56 AM

Solved (???)

Think I solved it by going to synaptics and getting rid of runit, all seems to be back to normal...
