Yes but am new at using Ubuntu. I downloaded the file how do I install it? Is there a terminal command I need to type as double clicking isn't working. (Sorry, newbie at this)

Try the terminal command

sudo dpkg --install linux-image-3.2.0-68-generic-pae_3.2.0-68.102_i386.deb

Please copy/paste the output of the following terminal commands into this question document (to verify whether there is something else broken in your installation):

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
sudo dpkg --audit
df -h
df -i

Oops, there seems to be a mixup between linux-image and linux-headers

You have to download and install linux-headers-3.2.0-68-generic-pae

Open a terminal (e.g. by simultaneously pressing ctrl-alt-t) and issue the following commands

wget -c http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-headers-3.2.0-68-generic-pae_3.2.0-68.102_i386.deb
sudo dpkg --install linux-headers-3.2.0-68-generic-pae_3.2.0-68.102_i386.deb

Then copy/paste the remaining commands as written in my previous comment.

I upgraded and did apt-get install -f and it seems solved.

Thanks
