Hello again!
With 9.04 I've had a few issues. Last issue was the grub which seems to be in working order because I'm posting from my computer instead of someone elses lol.
However, I do not have any sound. Investigating the reasons as to why, I tried 'sudo apt-get update' and I got the following error.
As well as many 'W: Failed to fetch...'
I read somewhere that it should be a problem with /var/lib/dpkg/status. I made a copy of my current status and tried to use an old status file. I didn't have permission to change the file name. I tried to edit the status to match the old status. Found an error on line 13469:
So I know there is an error that might be causing more trouble. Adept and Synaptic aren't too friendly either. Opening Adept or Synaptic I get:
Can someone point me in a good direction as to where I can go to fix this or find any information as to why/how this might of happened? I would love to get my sound working again. So far this 9.04 upgrade has been a big pain in the patooty!
Thank you,
Brian
