Ubuntu apt widget and name issue(Hoary 5.04)
When I run update-manager as root I get "(synaptic:7648): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_destroy: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done" It did however down load a small update for Mozilla. If I try to run it (or anything else) from the gui I am asked for a password by the widget. My root pass and my user pass does not work (even Gandhalf is no good) I think this last issue is unrelated, on boot I get "ror: temporary unable to resolve name" Any help on this would be welcome Regards John

The correct password is your user password, the one you used to log in. Check obvious things like case - I've not seen a scenario where the correct password just 'didn't work' unfortunately. As for Gandalf, you have inserted a miscreant 'h', which is why that password didn't work.

Are you connected to the Internet when you boot? If you're set up to do DHCP and not connected, you won't be able to resolve your own hostname. This is harmless and can be ignored in most cases. Craig

I get that "ror" message too, which is odd cos I couldn't figure out exactly what was printing out "ror". However, the reason for the message (in my case) is that ubuntu is running ntpdate on boot after bringing up the interfaces but dhcp hasn't assigned an ip address to my interface yet - my dhcp server seemed to be a bit slow. If I run ntpdate manually once I get to user login, dhcp has worked its magic by then and it all works. John

Is it "* ror" where the * is red? If your machine is slow enough, you'll see it print "Error: ..." and then overwrite the "Er" with a red "* ".
Well, I never thought of that - for once, I'm glad you are too poor to buy new hardware :) John

Note that if you're running update-manager from a console window then you can probably safely ignore these messages. They do indicate a bug in the application but it's almost certainly non fatal and will just be a memory leak or something.
