The little update icon in the task bar has now go a red cross over it.
What's the quickest way to sort this out.
Thanks

Unfortunately the problem remains, red cross on the update icon and following message when I try to update,
ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR

Not sure what any of this means but it seems I will not be able to get any further updates !

Quote from: Matt You could try ctrl-alt-backspace, which should restart the desktop environment and let you run it again. Alternatively you could open a terminal and try running the command 'sudo apt-get update', but if neither of those work try rebooting. I'd try the terminal command first though as if that fails you should get a much more verbose error message.
Also tried that seems to get near the end 99% but follows with the message,

Unless you added those PPAs yourself, I presume Mint will release an update with new locations, if anyone still cares about Mint 11.

That ppa is for oneiric (Ubuntu 11.10/Mint 12) - you should be using natty (Ubuntu 11.04 / Mint 11).
That aside, flash is no longer in that ppa; you should be able to install flashplugin-nonfree from the Ubuntu repos used by Mint 11.

What you should have in your /etc/apt/sources.list (or it may be under /etc/apt/sources.list.d) :
deb http://debian.scribus.net/debian/ natty main

Again that refers to Ubuntu 11.10/Mint 12
If you want to try Unity just install from the Ubuntu repos Mint 11 is configured to use.

The unity sub-directory does not exist - although about 5 variations do.
Which explains the 404.
