Ubuntu

Update errors

Asked by Davidmhanson

I Had linux running very great for a long time but I messed it up installing another copy on an external HDD.
I re-installed Ubuntu on my system today and am getting some first time errors. Usually the only error I ever get installing was that dpkg --configure -a problem... well this time it has not come up yet on this fresh install. However, here is the list of new errors I am recieving...

E: foomatic-filters: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
E: linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
E: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: ufw: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
E: linux-image-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-restricted-modules-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: samba-common: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
E: smbclient: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: ubuntustudio-desktop: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Most errors were shown during the update manager updating, another is after upgrading to the Ubuntu Sudio theme.

I appreciate any help. Thank you!

Dave

Please check if all your main repositories are on and updated.

First Clean> sudo aptitude clean
Then Update> sudo aptitude update
and then Upgrade> sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

If this do not work then,
run
sudo apt-get install
this will try to fix any broken installation.

if that do not works, then
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
this will reconfigure all the packages, will take a very long time depending
on your installed software

you might try to reconfigure individual packages, which I would prefer to do
in my cases

sudo dpkg-reconfigure <package name>

maybe you can try to reconfigure the kernel images or apt-get

and also keep a check on disk space

df -h
