    I am a slightly older newbie

    Run Adept (System-Adept Manager) ->Fetch updates

    Ensure you have a working Internet connection

      That is the problem.. it doesn't work... it runs for a second. then it says that there is a version upgrade of adept but when i run it.. Error "Couldnot verify the integrity of the upgrader application, this program will now exit"

      Do you have any idea why this error is coming up

        I'm also a newbie; perhaps when in the Adept program ( Kmenu - System- Adept Manager ) click Adept on the menu bar and then 'Manage Repositories'.
        There's 4 tabs. Check the values in all to see if they look reasonable.
        On the 'Kubuntu Software Tab' you may want the 'Download From' to be 'Server for the United States' if you're in country.
        On 'Updates' the check boxes for 'Important Security' and 'Recommended' should be checked.
        Also look over the other tabs; and of course as GoldFlakes said - one must have the internet connection active.

        Hope this helps.

          I got the same problem too.. please help us.. I have tried to manage repositories many time with different configuration, different country server but still can't fetch update.. it stuck at certain percentage. Now I still stuck using 7.04 (I reinstalled back 7.04) because 7.10 give me no update and I can't install additional programs.

            Are you by any chance on a dsl modem ? This is a a reported bug. I had the same problem.

            Try this

            open terminal, type ping ubuntu.com and press enter.

            as soon as you see the reply, try to have adept "fetch updates" . This should work.

              If Adept won't restart after a package install and
              reports:
              "Another process is using the packaging system
              database (probably some other adept
              application or apt-get or aptitude)..."
              Open a konsole and run the following:
              sudo dpkg --configure -a

              If that does not work, then run:
              sudo apt-get -f install

              While you have not reported getting the "Another process is..." the procedure may still help you.
              Windows no longer obstructs my view.
              Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

                yup.. for me, my modem is dsl modem Aztech DSL600ER.. but still doesn't solve the problem, I tried "ping", sudo dpkg --configure -a ,sudo apt-get -f install , no change. maybe I have to wait for 8.04.. ( arghhh.. 5 month to go..).
                I try update in konsole something like connection error occur it connect to (1.0.0.0)

                  Check out my post @ http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3089021.0

                  For a detailed description of the bug see

                  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/81057

                  I had the same issue. Ping Ubuntu.com and terminal should resolve it correctly with the foll. response

                  PING ubuntu.com (91.189.94.158) 56(84) bytes of data.

                  only after the succesful ping, fetch updates (or use sudo apt get update ) in a separate terminal.

                  IPV6 is the culprit and by disabling IPV6 I managed to get every thing working.
