Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better.

You just need to run the dpkg command as root.
sudo dpkg --configure -a
But to completely update your system I would recommend all of these commands
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremove
Hope this helps

thanks. but i still dont get it. what program will i use to run the dpkg command as root? thanks, im used to Microsoft unlike Ubuntu.
Wyatt Smith (wyatt-smith) said : | #5 |
These commands can be typed or copied into the terminal. You can open a terminal from the menu Applications-> Accessories-> Terminal
You will be asked for you password. When you type it you will not see the cursor move.
alexaramirez (sheena-aina) said : | #6 |
thanks. but there are still problems
this flashed next:
Unable to get exclusive lock
This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) isalready running. Please close that application first.
help pls. thanks

Make sure that any other package management applications are closed (Synaptic Package Manager, Add/Remove Programs). Only one can manager can work at a time since it locks the directory.
