  • I just tried again using the update manager..it doesn’t give any errors, but doesn’t give any new updates..It might be possible that there isn’t any new updates..I find that hard to believe, though.

You've made an upgrade from 12.04, Canonical Precise PPA was left behind. In terminal type ls /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists*. The result should be something like this:

/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_binary-amd64_Packages /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_binary-i386_Packages /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_Release /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_Release.gpg

...plus they Quantal counterparts

/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_partner_binary-amd64_Packages /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_partner_binary-i386_Packages /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_Release /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_Release.gpg

...if so, just delete the precise versions.
