I was having some problems with PlayOnLinux and decided to uninstall it.
I went to Software Center and tried to uninstall it there, no luck.
It just said: Package operation failed. The installation or removal of a software package failed.
So then I tried in Terminal: entering "sudo apt-get remove playonlinux" and I got this reply:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
I then tried to enter: "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and got this:

I am just now starting to go deeper than the surface of my computer so I am very much a beginner. I have downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 and have tried to install it by mounting the image and installing "inside windows." Next, upon reboot and selecting Ubuntu from the windows loader it eventually went to a colorful screen but stayed there... the first time I let it sit there for 20 minutes or so then restarted, uninstalled/reinstalled tried again... then I let it sit there for 3 hours, nothing. Next I tried to mount image and install "demo and full installation." This time upon reboot I choose Ubuntu from the windows loader menu and an error message came up. I will type it out below exactly as I see it because this is the same message that came up when a friend suggested I boot from a USB drive.

I've recently got this error coming up when I try to install things via yum through the terminal. It happens when I try to install *anything* at all. I'm running 32bit Fedora 14, although my laptop is 64 bit.
I think the error may have occurred a while back when trying to upgrade to fedora 15 running 64 bit, although I'm not sure exactly what I did then

I am very new to Linux and I have been dealling with my problem for the past 9 days. I have installed Debian to my hard drive from a DSL disk. It seems like it is an old distripution (kernal is Linux 2.4.26 on i686). I saw that there was an old version of Firefox that desparately needs to be upgradeed. I tried to install the latest version with out any luck. It was the same situation when I tried to the install Flash Player plugin. I then tried to upgrade the distribution by doing the following:
[code]...
This scared me a bit so I searched the internet for a solution where I found people had the same problem I have, but the solutions given, which worked for them, did not work for me. I also tried using the dpkg and aptitude methods of installation.
Any time i try to install anything from terminal or synaptic i get this error message saying:
Or if i try to upgrade:
If i try to open the software-center the cursor changes but it does not open. This all started when it upgraded to Karmic Koala. There might be two seperate issues but i cannot install or uninstall at all.
3/4 of the way through the install the reboot black screen : The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery . neither works, was running Ubuntu 10.4.

I'm new to Fedora 13, although 10 years ago I fooled around a little with Red Hat 4.2 and Mandrake 7. I'm trying to install flash on my desktop. The install went as smooth as can be on my laptop, but the desktop isn't going well. First of all, My system is an AMD Phenom 9950 Quad Core in an Asus M4N78 PRO motherboard with 4 Gb of RAM, although Gnome reports it as 3.8 Gb. Video is Invidia GeForce 5500.
The Flash install goes ok until I enter the command:
"yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper.x86_64
nspluginwrapper.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686
libcurl.i686"
Once that command starts running it pops out this error message:
Error: Package: glibc-2.12-2.i686 (updates)
Requires: glibc-common = 2.12-2
Installed: glibc-common-2.12-3.x86_64 (@updates-testing)
Available: glibc-common-2.12-1.x86_64 (fedora)
Available: glibc-common-2.12-2.x86_64 (updates)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I've tried the work arounds suggested by the error message and they didn't work. I tried downloading the missing file and it seems to not exist. I also tried this command:
yum downgrade glibc-common-2.12-3.x86_64
That generated this output:

When i shutdown my SuSE 11.2 box with all current updates i have started to notice an error message.Something about failed to unmount, trying remount as read only or something like that.The trouble is its almost the very last message that appears and its not on the screen long enough to read properly.Somewhere is there a logfile that i can recover this error message from so that i can make some sort of an attempt to resolve the issue, post the whole message here in more detail?
