I just installed 14.04 and tried talking on Skype but the other party can't hear me. I tried checking the sound settings from System settings and found out that System settings is missing. I ran the command sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and got the error message
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I later ran the command sudo apt-get install unity-control-center and still got the message
Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Meanwhile, I always get an error message popping up each time I switch on my laptop:
System Program Problem detected
Do you want to report problem?
I have also uninstalled and re-installed System Settings(Unity Control Center) via Ubuntu Software Center and it still doesn't work.
Any urgent help will be highly appreciated. Thank you
