Him Newb here,
I am trying to run software update but it fails,
I have tried software updater and install/remove software.
attached is the update log.
How do I fix this?
This is the first time I have had an update problem
I do not understand
I am using software updater no terminal.
I do not know the commands to use terminal.
If I use install/remove software I get the following error:
Code:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libdrm-common_2.4.82+git20170731.3876bc24-0ubuntu0ricotz~16.04.1_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids', which is also in package libdrm-amdgpu1:i386 2.4.82+git20170725.3876bc24-0ubuntu0ricotz~16.04.1

Hello bigskill,
^ [member=2]Jerry[/member] gives you the command to copy/paste into terminal.
You can open the terminal to do this by - hold down Ctrl and Alt key and press t.
OK still confused
opened terminal, typed in uname -a got:
Code:
Linux al-3000-N100 4.4.0-87-generic #110-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 18 12:54:58 UTC 2017 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
tried pasting error log but this forum will no let me. get 403 error
Could you please walk me through updating using terminal?
or will I still get errors
Open a terminal and do one command at a time:
Code:
sudo apt autoremove -y
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
See how that goes.
Nope first 2 commands worked fine.
3rd command downloaded every thing started unpacking, then error

Open a terminal, do:

grep -r --include '*.list' '^deb ' /etc/apt/ | sed -re 's/^\/etc\/apt\/sources\.list((\.d\/)?|(:)?)//' -e 's/(.*\.list):/\[\1\] /' -e 's/deb http:\/\/ppa.launchpad.net\/(.*?)\/ubuntu .*/ppa:\1/'
