I've got a DELL n5110 laptop, with intel i3-2330m cpu @ 2.20GHz x 4, 64 bit OS system, ubuntu 14.04 LTS operating system.
The error that comes up is upon start up, and it gives me the option of cancel or send report. After passing that hurdle, I then get an icon in the top of my screen, red circle with white line through it, sat alongside the volume display and other icons. That icon reads:
An error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: "Error: BrokenCount > 0". This usually means your installed packages have unmet dependencies.
When I open Software Centre, I get the option of repairing the installed packages, but it usually fails at the last moment, with the comment:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-extra-3.13.0-66-generic: Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-66-generic but it is not installed
linux-image-extra-3.13.0-79-generic: Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-79-generic but it is not installed
linux-image-generic: Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-79-generic but it is not installed
A warning once came up about disabling third party repositories, and I tried doing this via terminal using the command sudo software-properties-gtk
, and it took me to the Software Centre, with a list of boxes ticked and some strange long looking clever words which I've never thought to use before in my life.
The update says the following
