  • I don't see any real errors aside from the message that there are "3 not fully installed or removed". How long have you waited since it has been stuck like this?

Run the following commands to fix the issue and the post any errors.

First, run the following:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Then, run the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If that doesn't work, run:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Again, please post any errors. Thanks!

    @dianesis If any errors arise or this doesn't work update your question with information about what happened after you tried that. Even if it just plain didn't work.
