Ubuntu

update manager not working

Asked by sreenathan

i am a learner, only today i installed my ubuntu, while i want to update, the following message appears, E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

when i pasted this in terminal, it asks for superuser permission, which i do not know, either superuser name or the way to enter the same. Please help. Thanking you.

sudo dpkg --configure -a

is the command you need to run. when it asks you for the password, be aware that there will be no feedback when you type in the password. just type it in and press enter.
