E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
I have no clue how to "manually" do anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

[member=37281]Von Kirkus[/member] At some point a previous update or install had be cancelled.

You will need to open the terminal then enter the following...
Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a

enter your password at the prompt.
Once completed you may close the terminal and try updating once again.
Thanks for the help. That got it fixed. I have another question. I have my computer set up as a dual boot system. On the "boot option" screen I now have some lines that point to a start command that is not active. I will post a picture later. I would like to know how to edit out those erroneous lines so that only the active option that will actually run come up. But, I don't want to break my system.

I assume its the "Grub" screen and not a boot order...


If its something residual or was removed.. you can try the following...


From within LL run the command in terminal..
Code:
sudo update-grub


Then reboot after complete....


If that doesn't correct - may need a pic/better understanding what's 'there'.


Since the original question is fix (good to hear) you can mark this thread as solved.. Smile
Also, it doesn't hurt to open a follow up/new question as a new thread, as the update was resolved some may not further read Smile .
