Message on Software Updater

Every time I open Software Updater to check for updates, I always got a message like this (You stopped checks for updates). After that, I got message "System problem detected". And every time I reboot the system, the pop up "System problem detected" always shows up. I've tried to delete the crash file by sudo rm /var/crash/*, but it always comes back.

  • Please open a terminal and run sudo apt update and then sudo apt full-upgrade. If any, please [edit] and post the error message in its entirety. –  Oct 03 '17 at 09:25
  • I already run sudo apt-full upgrade but it shows no errors. It just says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." – tangorboyz Oct 03 '17 at 09:27
  • Did you run sudo apt update first ? – Soren A Oct 03 '17 at 09:29
  • yes, I did run it. – tangorboyz Oct 03 '17 at 09:30
  • try sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log or cat /var/log/apt/history and inspect any cause to this problem. Does sudo dpkg --configure -a helps? – Redbob Oct 03 '17 at 12:30
  • I already inspect /var/log/apt/term.log, but there's only a warning about a duplicate certificate. And I did try sudo dpkg --configure -a before, but it doesn't help. Update from terminal seem to work. Only software updater that doesn't work. – tangorboyz Oct 04 '17 at 04:30
  • It would seem that there's an error in /usr/sbin/aptd. Here's the report if I run aptd --version: – tangorboyz Oct 05 '17 at 00:59

Run sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel solved the problems. There must be an error because I use both python 3.5 and 3.6. The error must happened after I reinstall some python 3.6 package. Now the software-updater is working again. I got this from github https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/3078 . There's also chardet package that lost from python 3.5 installation, that cause the package-downloader from update-notifier to crash. So I runsudo pip3 install --upgrade requests that also install chardet. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31387799/importerror-cannot-import-name-chardet
