[ALUG] Ubuntu Updates

[Stuart Bailey]

I have a customer with a laptop from Linuxemporium, with ubuntu pre-installed. 
I think it is gutsy, but will have to confirm that.
She is using a wireless network (WPA-PSK), with broadband connection.

The problem is with online updates. When logged in, a message informing of new 
updates is shown. If accepted, the list of headers downloads correctly. But, 
on clicking install, nothing happens.

If I try running apt-get update / upgrade, update works fine, but upgrade 
reports that resource [ESSID xxxx} could not be accessed.

However, if I run apt-get from an SSH login, or a virtual terminal, everything 
work fine.

Any ideas what could be wrong - is there a configuration file for the updater 
that could be wrong.
