I've attached some Screenshot 1 and Screenshot 2 here.

enter image description here

It shows the window as soon as I boot up. There also appears a (-) red minus sign which tells me that a problem occured while checking updates, and when I click "Show updates" it tells me that the Software Updater has crashed unexpectedly.

I am unable to update it (I wish to upgrade to 16.04 LTS), nor solve the problem. Any solutions?

  • No it is not, I understand that it is a problem notification. Rather, I intend to solve my problem than know what that icon means. Hope you understand. – Shubham Deshmukh May 25 '16 at 07:16
  • Appreciate your intentions but what I am able to see is the similarity in the issue and it's solution as well. – Dhaval Simaria May 25 '16 at 07:20

Can you open a terminal:

CTRL+ALT+T

then type:

sudo apt-get update

any errors will show up there, and it tries to give you ideas as to how you might fix them as well.

  • Ok so I tried that, looks like it went all okay, have a look at these shots : [Screenshot 3] [1] and [Screenshot 4] [2]. But it did not download any heavy updates, but only in kBs, and it took only 2 mins. What now? – Shubham Deshmukh May 25 '16 at 06:54

  • So no errors?

    The next command you can try is sudo apt-get upgrade, although the first is all you should really need. I have seen that same triangle thing and if the updater doesn't clear it, and these two commands don't then I am not really sure how to fix it.

  • This worked! It seems. The terminal notified me of around 293MB of updates. I confirmed with a Y, and it is updating now. Also, the GUI of the Software Updater window came up automatically, which was crashing earlier, notifying updates worth 380MB. I am not sure about the difference in MBs, hope everything goes well. Thanks @Christopher Angulo-Bertram :) – Shubham Deshmukh May 25 '16 at 07:10
