PLEASE HELP.... AN ERROR IN INSTALLING THE SOFTWARES...

[Prasant Vijayasekaran]

Hello friends,

Please do help to overcome the error in my system.. 

I'm using ubuntu and I'm unable to install software, even when clicked on "Add/Remove Programs" , it is loading in taskbar for sometime and then it vanishes. Even for the firefox web browser , the same error happens.. I'm using broadband. There is no error in connecting to the internet.. I'm able to download files using torrent..but the browser (all browsers) is not even opening..

The following are the errors that i get as reply from the system..

1) When i click on UPDATE MANAGER, the error comes in a pop up menu as:

"The Configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer Administrator" 

2) When i click on SYNAPTIC MANAGER, the following error occurs, 

"E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

E: _cache->open() failed, please report"

The above error is followed by a suggestion to recover the error. I tried that too..

I logged in as root and tried the command "dpkg --configure -a" , but all failed..

3) When i used the "dpkg --configure -a" command, the following errors occur,

root@Prasant:~# dpkg --configure -a

Whats the version of Ubuntu that you are using in the system.

Try this command for the above error

sudo dpkg --configure -a

It would ask you for the root password and once you provide it
should do the trick.

The above code would correct this error too.

Else try this

sudo apt-get -f

which would force the dpkg to do "dpkg --configure -a"

> root@Prasant:~# dpkg --configure -a

Even with the current user login you can perform the
above operations provided you have the root password.
