Budget Tech's questions

When I upgraded from 19.04 to 19.10 there was one package that was not able to update that was emacs-lucid.

When I try to upgrade it now I get the error:

dpkg: warning: old emacs-lucid package pre-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 127

And when I try to install or removing software through Ubuntu software I get:

E: The package emacs-lucid needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.

The second error message started appearing after I install Synaptics. I tried telling it not to upgrade emacs-lucid and now I can't update anything.

The output of apt-cache policy emacs-lucid was:

emacs-lucid:
Installed: 1:26.1+1-3.2ubuntu2
Candidate: 1:26.3+1-1ubuntu1
Version table:

500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan/universe amd64 Packages
*** 1:26.1+1-3.2ubuntu2 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status)

After running sudo apt-get install emacs-lucid=1:26.1+1-3.2ubuntu2 I got:

The following information may help resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 19.10, from 19.04.

I use the default dark Adwaita theme, but the calendar and WiFi Control Center are showing as white. I also tried the dark version of the Yaru theme, with the same result.

How do I troubleshoot this issue?

In GNOME shell at the top bar all your extensions are placed between the clock and the top side hand side were the battery percent and wifi controls are.

So I was wondering if there was anyway to add extension to the left hand side between the 'Activities' button and the clock? I need this because I just have to many extensions clogging the top bar up.

I am planing on build a PC and was wondering if KDEnlive has any issues with AMD hardware? way I will be using or integrated Vega graphics or veg 56/64 or AMD Rx.

If you Have any experience with with Ryzen/KDEnlive please answer, and this is not a hardware question.

in the system menu on the top bar beside the lock button there is supposed to be a gnome control center icon, recently it just disappeared on my laptop running Ubuntu 18.10

Dose anyone know how to make application folders like the 'utilities' folder? It's because I have a lot of apps and want to group them by topic.
