Un-installing bug infected Ubuntu 12.04

Asked by Johnomran-gmail

From May 2014 to the present day I am unable to access the Software Center or the Update Manager. This was due to a bug which I have reported. So far nothing have been done to get rid of the bug. How can I un-install UBUNTU 12.04 whcich has been installed along side Windows 8.1; neither Windows or the PC BIOS recognise the existence of UBUNTU. At the meantime, is safe to use it without being able to access the Software Center?

Regards

Jaddo Omran

What is the output of :

sudo apt-get update

You don't need software centre. You can use apt-get which is what software centre is a GUI for.

Thanks

The OS will run without updates but security updates will not occur on the system without them so technically not safe, the OS will otherwise run as you would expect.
