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.
