Or run:

wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage
chmod +x ./fixpackage
sudo ./fixpackage

Should do it

Thanks

Now the software updater keeps popping up but won't install, anything I try to download won't install either.

What is the output of

sudo depmod

nothing.

That is what keeps popping up.

No output on depmod means success.

Now try

sudo depmod 3.13.0-29-generic

and copy/paste the output (if any).

No output on that either.

This is what happens anytime I try to install anything including the update.

I now see two errors:

1. InstallArchives() failed: dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 15866 package 'libgphoto2-port10:amd64':
  EOF after field name `B'

2. Setting up linux-image-3.13.0-29-generic (3.13.0-29.53) ...
 Running depmod.
 Failed to run depmod

For the first one:
Try
sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/available-old /var/lib/dpkg/available

For the second one:
My interpretation of your output is that the configuration of the linux-image-3.13.0-29-generic package fails during (or around) the "depmod" step. Manually executing depmod, however, worked without problem.

Try again with the commands

sudo depmod -a 3.13.0-29-generic
echo $?

and copy/paste all output.

You may want to use -v with depmod

Sorry, I should have mentioned in the last comment that it will produce a lot of output. My idea was to look through that output and post anything relevant (rather than posting all of it).

What is -v Daniel? I'm a noob when it comes to Ubuntu. The software updater is now popping up occasionally but right when it gets to the point of installing it fails to run depmod.

As already requested:

Try the commands

sudo depmod -a 3.13.0-29-generic
echo $?

and copy/paste all output.

Daniel Letzeisen's remark was that you might run the command with the additional option "-v"
sudo depmod -v -a 3.13.0-29-generic
but that will provide much output.

Sorry to post so much of this but I have no idea what is useful and what isn't. I'm now getting a system error every time I start the computer. Under details it says: >Executable Path /bin/kmod > Package kmod 15-0ubuntu6 > Problem Type Crash >Title kmod crashed with signal7in__libc_start_main() > ApportVersion 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2 > Architecture amd64 >CoreDump (binary data) > Unreportable Reason Obsolete pakage versions installed. Please upgrade the following packages and check if the problem persists.

apt-utils, dbus, dpkg, initramfs-tools, initramfs-tools-bin, libapt-inst1.5, libapt-pkg4.12, libblkid1, libcmanager0, libdbus-1-3, libjson-c2, libjson0, libmount1, libpam-systemd, libsystemd-daemon0, libsystemd-login0, libudev1, libuuid1, mount, systemd-services, tzdata, udev, util-linux, uuid-runtime (All of these I have, typed them all into the Software center and each one said it was already installed)
I've ran everything you guys have told me to and the only improvement I've seen is that i can get the Software center to run (not install though) I guess I'm just really confused as to what to do at this point.

Manfred: Bus error (core dumped)

Revision history for this message
Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said :
#23

The error message "Bus error (core dumped)" is always bad, because it just tells that something is broken, but does not tell any details.

As to the list of packages shown on that error message: Yes, these packages are all installed, but for those there might be an updated version.

Try

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

and copy/paste all output

Description: userspace virtual filesystem - backends
 gvfs is a userspace virtual filesystem where mounts run as separate
 processes which you talk to via D-Bus. It also contains a gio module
 that seamlessly adds gvfs support to all applications using the gio
 API. It also supports exposing the gvfs mounts to non-gio applications
 using fuse.

So after that my computer no longer connects to Wi-Fi. Under the connections drop down menu there is only the one option to manage VPN networks.

You seem to have several problems more on your system, some of them might be caused by inconsistencies on your hard disk.
Even if there are some more commands that could be tried to repair the problems, I assume you are better off with a new installation of your system.
I suggest that you create backup copies of your important files, download the installation kit for Ubuntu 14.04, create a bootable DVD or USB stick, and install Ubuntu from scratch. Finally reload your private files from the backup.

How do I create a bootable USB stick?

On the lower part of the web page http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop there are instructions how to burn a DVD or create a bootable USB stick for installing Ubuntu, either using an Ubuntu system, or a Windows computer or OSX.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Curtis Lear for more information if necessary.
