Please edit your post #3 above using the pencil icon to wrap the information inside of code tags. Example: [code]log file contents, configuration file contents and terminal text go here[/code]

Code: Select all

to make it look like this, which is a lot easier to read for large amounts of text:
1. It really stands out as being separate from the text that you're typing due to the different background and font colors
2. It also puts it inside of its own little frame with its own scrollbars, making it easier to navigate.

You can just select the text by dragging your mouse over it while holding the left button down then click the </> icon in the forum's editor's toolbar. Thanks.

disable the backports repo and then update your sources.

The backports repo isn't supposed to work with updates, but apparently yours is trying to pull in those firmware packages.

[Lab_ster]

Well I had to fsck sda2 again but I still can not change any repos in repo manager. It is stuck on the Vietnam repo , still getting error when I hit apply in repo manager.

the backports repo, which is where those updates are pulling from, is not included in the changes that mx-repo-manager makes. Its set to the deb redirector service. the vietnam repo well may be having issues, but for now the answer to is disable the backports repo.

[Lab_ster]

Im sorry dolphin_oracle I dont know how I guess where do I go to do that? Im kinda green with apt

Then do it manually:

Code: Select all

sudo fpad /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list

Disable the line with backports in it by adding a hash (#) mark to the beginning, and save.

Then update apt.

Code: Select all

sudo update apt

[Lab_ster]

Done all is well now. thank you Stevo and dolphin_oracle :)
