Someday ago I tried the Marlin file browser (a nice crossover between thunar, nautilus and windows explorer) from elementary-dev PPA. Then I've encountered some troubles in updating packages. Playonlinux (that I sometimes use) stopped to work but other python apps seems to work (however I've problems at every system update).

edit: It seems the PPAs I've disabled in Synaptic are still present in ubuntu configuration. Restoring "official sources.list" can resolve my issues? Thanks in advance for your help :)

Can I suggest use ppa-purge to reinstate the standard ubuntu installation that had been upgraded by the PPA

i.e.

sudo ppa-purge ppa:elementaryart/elementary-dev

Edit:

from your revised trace there is this error: update-alternatives: error: alternative link /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules is already managed by x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf.

This is described in this bug report - the suggested solution was to remove your nvidia driver from the Addition Drivers windows (deactivate it), make sure sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade works before reactivating the nvidia driver again.

  • I've tried a few other python apps and now seems to work well... Seems to be a mesa problem (which should be different from nvidia opengl, I suppose). Playonlinux doesn't work anymore. Luckily the apps works with plain wine menu :D

  • I've disabled all PPAs but the wxgtk2.8 problem remains. If I would restore original settings of updating system?

  • please can you edit your question with the output of LANG=en_US;sudo apt-get update and LAN=en_US;sudo apt-get upgrade - please also include cat /etc/apt/sources.list - thanks.

  • Now seems to work perfectly. I've disabled also the Nvidia PPA (most updated but less tested for ubuntu). Thank you for your help :)
