Today I installed a few updates on my 10.04 which has been running
absolutely fine for over a month at this stage. Before installing the
updates I got a warning saying that some of the update packages could
not be authenticated. I decided not to install those updates, but, after
every reboot when I ran update manager, the same few updates were
listed, so I decided to install the unauthenticated updates, after which
the computer rebooted and then I started getting the error message as
follows:

(process :362) : GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown
user id (0)

I have tried reinstalling from a live cd, but no joy. I too would like to see 
this issue resolved. 
I must admit that on my second laptop, 10.04 is running quite alright for just 
as long and no update issues either.

Now I'm just a beginner still and can't say whether the software
packages installed on the two systems were identical or not, so I can't
say I know the source of the issue.

Help please.
