I keep getting error messages when I try to install updates.
I am using ubuntu 12.04. The program runs fine on my desktop pc that I built about 5 years ago. I have an NEC Multi-Sync LCD 1770NXM monitor, an ATi Radeon 9200 video adapter, and an Intel D865PERL motherboard. The pc is dual boot (Windows XP Pro and ubuntu). The only problem that is apparent to me while running ubuntu is that the Grub menu does not show up when I boot. I get a magenta flash, then I get a no-signal indication on the monitor until it boots into ubuntu. If I press the down arrow on the keyboard 5 times after the magenta flash, I can boot into Windows, but the Grub menu does not appear. I have tried holding down the shift key and that does not work.
Listed below is the message that I get in Synaptic when I try to install updates:
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
