A day back everything was fine when using the Software Center. The problem started after attempting to install the app named 'Shutter' (app for taking screenshots) yeasterday. I started the Install then went to watch a movie came back to my PC 3hrs later it was showing 'Applying Changes' it was odd as the software was just 15MB and should have got over. Later on... after 2 hours of staring 'Applying Changes' I couldn't wait no more and had to shutdown the PC. Today morning when I opened the Software Center the 'Applying Changes' was still there, I cannot install any other software using the center as it says 'waiting' for the Shutter App to finish and I want to stop the installing but just can't as there is no X or Cancel button to stop it. Using the Terminal I've tried >>

mohd_arafat_hossain@TUD:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

What am I supposed to do now?

I just downloaded VisualBoy Advance from the Ubuntu Software Center for the first time to play a ROM, to be specific Pokemon FireRed, which i downloaded from coolroms. When I run the ROM I see the wrong colors showing up, the ROM runs fine though. I've played the game loads of times before and am sure it's not like this and NO I cannot ignore it and continue playing as it ruins the game as well as my mood to play it. I searched for a while over the net and found THIS it has the exact problem I am experiencing but that doesn't solve it as he shifted his Ubuntu version and got it to work, but I want to stick to mine (12.04) so any help?

I'm currently running Ubuntu 12.04 and want to completely format my laptop so I can install Windows 7 (replace Ubuntu).

When I put in my bootable USB with the OS it just shows a black screen with a white blinking cursor on the top left corner. I wait for hours (to be specific 5 whole hours) waiting for something to happen but I get nothing, so I pull out the USB and my Ubuntu 12.04 loads up.

Repeated this several times with putting different boot priority options on top-est that relate to USB but the results are same. I go and visit some sites on the net like this http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/cant-replace-ubuntu-with-windows.175716/ that say I have to zero out my hard drive.

My question is how?

Note: Erasing out all my data is no problem cause I have nothing important to backup.

If I have to lose my primary OS (Ubuntu 12.04) in the process I am ready to as my aim is just to install Windows 7 successfully. Please don't answer that there is something wrong with my USB or my USB reader/port/hardware or the content inside the USB cause they all works fine on my brothers PC as it boots up flawlessly.

I'm planning on buying a game-pad for playing games on emulators (like ZSNES) and I have read a few articles on the net related to some game-pads not working in Linux especially when playing games via Wine. But that only for Wine, right? There are some questions in my mind, like:

  1. Does that mean that all native Ubuntu games work fine with any game-pads OR this too has specific game-pads? that work on Ubuntu(12.04).

  2. What if I buy a random game-pad say Unofficial/Fake, will it be recognize it as a game-pad or will Ubuntu ignore it?

  3. If it gets recognized how will I/it find the appropriate drivers required for using the hardware? OR will drivers not be necessary and I can start playing, right after I bought it and plugged it in?

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

I have done these following steps before I did the above >>

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rye/ubuntuone-extras
sudo apt-get update

I have scanned for broken packages in Synaptic Package Manager but it shows that I have none.

Any help?

I followed the steps from here >> http://securit.se/en/2012/03/kompilera-reaver-ubuntu-12-04/

everything was going good till I reached this point.

after I found the following lines in the file

CFLAGS   ?= -g -W -Wall -Werror -O3

and edited it to make it like this >>

CFLAGS  ?= -g -W -Wall -O3

But then I am supposed to save the file, how?. when I close the terminal I was expecting them to prompt 'save file before exit' but it does not, theres just 2 options 'cancel' and 'close terminal'

HOW DO I SAVE?

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 a month ago and am using it till now. I failed to notice that all this time there was no sound at all while running Ubuntu, even while playing a game in Wine. The weird thing is that only the startup sound comes when I log in (Indian/African drum tone), then comes the utter silence.

I tested both Digital Output (S/PDIF) and the speakers in the sound settings but can hear nothing.

Any help?

It's just been days since I started using Ubuntu on my PC and I'm doing my best to keep it updated at all times via 'Update Manager'. But what I've noticed is that if I update today the next day when I log in there is a new set of updates waiting for me.

I want to keep these updates as a backup so I don't have to download the updates all over again if I am forced to freshly install Ubuntu. So what do I Backup?

NOTE: I'm doing this following some random website I visited while surfing the net. This is what I'm doing (in Terminal) to backup files

sudo su
cd /
tar cvpjf backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /

and to restore it I'm using this (after I put backup.taz.bz2 in the root location)

sudo su
cd /
tar xvpfj backup.tar.bz2 -C /

but I'm not sure if this backups the updates...does it?

I installed Wine-1.5 with these commands in the terminal >>

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install wine1.5

After it downloaded some files, it got installed and I closed the terminal...but what the problem is that > I cannot find the Wine icon for the application anywhere. I went to 'Ubuntu Software Center' and looked through installed files and it wasn't there :/?. So I've decided to download it via 'Ubuntu Software Center' but can anyone tell me how to delete the files it downloaded using terminal cause it turns out to be a waste of space for my PC.
