When trying to install updates via Software Updater I get the following message:

"The package system is broken Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f"

Also, Software Updater crashes.

I would like to do as the above message says and disable third pary repositories, but in Software & Updates there is no option that (explicitly) mentions "third party repositories".

In the top right corner of my screen is a do-not-enter sign - clicking it shows another message saying an error occurred ("Error Broken count >0").

Maybe it is related to Chromium Web Browser, because in the crash report it says

Title: update-manager crashed with chromium-browser-l10n in_show_transaction(): Depends: chromium-browser (>= 59.0.3071.109-0ubuntu0.16.04.1291) but 58.0.3029.110-0ubuntu0.16.04.1281 is installed

I thought deselecting Chromium Web Browser in Software Updater might let me install other updates but I cannot deselect it. I can deselect everything else.

I tried uninstalling the browser but this did not help.

Noob here. Tried to install Angband 4.0.5 (rephial.org) but I couldn't make it work.

What did I do wrong? I uninstalled an earlier version before this, could there be some old files messing it up?

P.S.: Does anyone know how to make a block quote scrollable so it doesn't take up so much space?

I tried to uninstall OpenOffice and install LibreOffice (Writer), but I got an error message (and now I can't seem to install anything from Ubuntu Software).

sudo apt-get purge openoffice

or maybe

sudo apt-get purge openoffice*

After that I went to Ubuntu Software and tried to install LibreOffice Writer. I got the following error message:

"An error occurred, please run package manager from the right click menu [..] to see what is wrong. The error message was: "Error: BrokenCount > 0". This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies."

I wanted to follow this answer:

Trying to fix broken dependancies ( Libre Office)

but I don't know how to download Synaptic Package Manager, since Ubuntu Software isn't working for me.

Here's what I get when I write sudo apt-get install libreoffice in the terminal:

I locked the icon to the launcher while Writer was running, and ever since it has been called "untitled 1 -OpenOffice Writer".

I think this is going to confuse me when working with several documents. Is there any way to change it to either OpenOffice or OpenOffice Writer?

Every time I boot I get the "The system is running in low-graphics mode" error.

The problem is similar to this one: "the system is running in low graphics mode" I get this message when I boot my ubuntu, but I don't think I can use the answer, because I do not have the same graphics card (mine is Intel). I have searched Ask Ubuntu for a solution and tried some of the suggestions found here: How to fix "The system is running in low-graphics mode" error?.

I'm using an HP desktop with Ubuntu 12.04.

I have never had this problem before until about 12 hours ago. The only thing I can think of is that I had just installed about 35 updates via the update manager. The next time I switched on my computer I got the "The system is running in low-graphics mode" error.

Here is what I have tried:

• Switching to gdm
• After realising that I had used almost all my disk space I freed some by deleting a lot of movies and then rebooting.
• Reinstalling ubuntu-desktop
• Someone suggested editing the LightDM conf file, but I did not need to do this since the line was already unity-greeter

(It's tricky for me to copy any output and paste it here as long as I have this problem, since I can't get to the desktop etc.)

After trying all this, I chose to just reinstall Ubuntu (11.10). After doing that the problem was gone! But as soon as I upgraded to 12.04 and rebooted I got the error message again :(

Then tried removing the file /etc/X11/xorg.config.failsafe and restarted lightdm GUI server as in this answer. This did not help either.

I also tried running startx and got:

The "Unlock Login Keyring" popup is useful, but how do I make it forget a password for a specific website?

Before I started using Ubuntu I used Nitro PDF reader to automatically extract images from PDF files. Is there a PDF reader for Linux that does this?

I would like to be able to extract images faster/easier than when taking a snapshot.

I want to burn some data onto a CD.

I have added the folder I want to burn to the project and inserted a blank CD. However, when I press "Burn.." I am asked to chose a location to create the image file "brasero.iso". I don't understand..

I'm new to Ubuntu..

I'm not sure what just happened, but the screen just went black with the text: Ubuntu 11.10 "my computer name" tty4

and I was asked to log on.

It happened when I closed Chrome (Alt+F4). This is the second time it has happened, and I cant make it go away :) Even if I log on. Only thing that works is to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, which makes my PC restart.

Any idea what is causing this?

I'm new with Ubuntu, and I just downloaded Java from here: http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp

And I am trying to follow this instal guide:

But I'm not getting anywhere. After typing chmod a+x jre-6u31-linux-i586.bin it says "No such file or directory"
