Bug Description
i have a dell mini 9(eww I know).. i have had many many issues with this stupid computer.. i wouldnt use it, if i hadnt gotten it for free with my husbands studio 17. I am trying to remove programs, to clear some space, because its saying my hard drive is at 99%.
whenever I "uncheck" a program to remove, and actually try to remove it then.. it gives me this error:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
what is wrong? how can i fix?
I tried to type the dpkg configure thing into the terminal, but it say something about a superuser.
I am so sick of this computer..
I just want to use it for the internet at work and occasionally to write out a few things. I do not play the games, I do not print crap, I don't even use it for my photos because it sucks so much. So ANY help is greatly appreciated.
