EDIT: I gave up on repairing the issue. The reason why is in the comments.

I can't manage to figure out what is preventing me from installing htop. I've tried the tutorial posted here. When I try to install it with sudo apt-get install htop, it returns this:

lubuntu@lubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install htop

I'm completely lost. There's so much here I can't comprehend what I did to make this happen.

Attempted:

  • apt-get update --fix-missing then apt-get -f install
  • The tutorial linked above.

    @Braiam I should have edited the question: at one point, I restarted the OS and it (even though it was a live USB with a persistent file size) gave me a login prompt which made me login to an account I never created. I had to make an account using the virtual terminals (Alt + Ctrl + F2). sudo still worked. When I got into Lubuntu's main screen, a ton of crash reports open in a foreign language. I have no idea what it was but, I decided it was F.U.B.A.R. and not worth trying to repair. I'm going to format the USB and start again from scratch with Ubuntu Gnome. Thanks for the help.

If you have the synaptic package manager then:

  • Type: sudo synaptic
  • In the quick filter type: update-manager
  • Right click on update-manager-core and click 'Mark for Complete Removal', and 'Mark'
  • Right click on update-manager and click 'Mark for Complete Removal', and 'Mark'
  • Click 'Apply' at the top

Once this has completed then:

  • Right click on each of them and click 'Mark for Installation'
  • Follow the dialogue boxes

Then everything should be fixed!
