Hi,

First please make sure to close all open programs, including all package managers like Synaptic, Add/remove programs, etc ...

Then please try this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following commands (copy-paste each line below to the Terminal then hit <enter> after each line)

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo aptitude install -f
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output from each command) on this thread

Hope it helps,

Regards,

Mark

Hi Neisha,

The REAL problem is that your root Linux partition is full. The package manager cannot work if the partition is full. You will first need to clean up diskspace on the root partition before you can run my fix procedure.

Try running the following commands:

sudo aptitude clean
sudo aptitude autoclean
df -h

Please send us the output of these 3 commands.

Regards,

Mark

Hi,

If you are worried about losing data, I suggest backing up all the data on your Linux partitions. You can for example first copy your data to an external USB drive and then reinstall Ubuntu 9.04 from a USB stick.

Use Windows on another pc and a USB stick and then follow these instructions to create a bootable USB flashdrive with Ubuntu 9.04 on it:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles

So you do not need a CDROM or DVD drive to install Ubuntu.

Regards,

Mark

One more thing:

When you reinstall Ubuntu 9.04 using the USB stick, make sure to resize your root partition ( / partition) to at least around 5 or 6 gigabytes to make sure you don't encounter disk space issues in the near future. Your current root partition size (3.4 gigabytes) is way too small, in my opinion.

Can you help with this problem?
