ok thank you. i adjusted those but do you think the problem is this? Is this why "operation failed" is displayed every time i open the manager? I can't even uninstall stuff. I think i remember how all this started. I had installed Open Office and all that came with it. And i think i deleted the original file i downloaded to install it. It was like 400mb big and i thought heck it's just an installation file. Boy was i wrong. Now everytime i open Open Office i get "You have no debian.img.ext2 file on your memory cards. Please use the debian image installer in extras" and ever since the trouble with App. Manager started. It won't update, download or uninstall. Help?
