hi! sorry for replying so late! thanks for the advice, i used an Italian ubuntu-based release and ran a system check. after e2fsck -f -v, i could successfully perform updates with update manager, but short after, Update Manager closed unexpectedly and, for a couple of days, the same occurred also with Synaptic Package Manager and the Terminal. Now (i've done nothing!) i can use Update Manager and Synaptic, but not the Terminal - i'm now submitting Terminal crash to BugZilla, don't know if things are related.. - sorry, i'm a novice user.. i wanted to append system check but it's in Italian, i'm translating it, if you think it could help! These are the first 2 tracks
