What is the full output of :

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

Thanks

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (28: No space
left on device)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/

Actually, the command was:
LANG=C;sudo apt-get update -o APT::Cache-Limit=100000000 && sudo apt-get
dist-upgrade

Is that the info you need? Thanks

Now it seems that when I go to ubuntu software center my system is trying to repair the package catalog on its own but only getting hung up. Also, it looks like somehow "linux-headers-3.2.0 -38 generic pae" has installed repeatedly. thanks

If you check your error messages you will see

"No space left on device"

You have to do some cleanup.

please provide the output of the commands

df -h
df -i

You will also see that I requested that same output. In future can you please COPY the command rather than attempting to retype it. It significantly reduces user error and gets you helped faster as we don't have to correct you when the exact command has already been given.

Thanks, and sorry again for my slow responses. I've been busy. I appreciate
the help. I actually thought you and actionparsnip wanted the responses to
the commands I used from the Packagemanagertroubleshootingprocedures page.
I thought I forgot to paste those responses to launchpad. Sorry if I
incorrectly entered any commands.

Also, when I try updating I get a message "Package System is Broken." It
suggests disabling third party respositories and entering this command:
apt-get install -f

The response to that command says I don't own the lock file
(/var/lib/dpkg/lock)

Thanks,
Brad

You have ran out of inodes. If you clear your web cache and other app caches it will help. Can you also run:

sudo apt-get clean; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image

and give the output.

Thanks

sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic linux-image-3.0.0-14-generic
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.0.0*
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.2.0-24-generic linux-image-3.2.0-25-generic linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

Should help a fair bit.
