Did it work?
You need to
update all and also update usm from the update menu.

Not a bit ...
Simply no response ...
I'm pretty sure I've got internet
(the gizmo in low right corner says
' hookup active ' or somesuch .... )
FWIW ...... I had the previous version
and the package manager worked ....

So, you're saying that USM doesn't work at all?
Have you tried running it from a terminal as root...eg: usmgui....to check for error messages?
I'm running 3.0 LXDE as a frugal on an ext2 partition and not having any of the problems being posted concerning USM....I'm beginning to think the problem might be more to do with savefiles or scripts.

Just saw you have version 3.1.0
Open USM from terminial:
click on the "Updates" button and choose "Update USM"
after its updated usm click Update all.
once that is done close USM and start it again.
It should work

Thanks All
It was that I wasn't closing and reopening before using.
That is sort of awkward ?
Tried to install Wine and Porteus crashed .... But that's
another issue ..........
