I would have to take a photo with my phone, then transfer that to my desktop, etc. However, I believe other people, earlier in the thread, quoted the gist of the error message. quoting from L.S. McCarty's email (2020.04.29): It says "error code 9 Common failures include file and directory permissions" The file "r14-xgd-update-validation-test9.txt" contains the text below <Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-superkaramba.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-fsview.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename> I get a series of three messages, which say more or less the same thing. Next time I reboot, I will try to take a photo; but since my system is stable otherwise, you might be waiting for a long while. Rather than relying on my memory, there are probably others who can quote it more exactly.
