Open a Terminal, type the following command and press Enter:
sudo apt-get -f install
It will prompt for your password, type it and press Enter, then confirm the proposed actions by typing "Y" and pressing Enter.

If that worked, please mark this as "Solved", otherwise copy and paste the output of the command I gave you here. Thanks!

Can you help with this problem?
