Hello Christopher,
I am a very casual recreational user. My old lap top is probably now, too old. I have to install using forcepae. apt-get install-f did not work. I'm using only the canonical repositories that came with the install. Hope this helps, John this is all copy / pastes; The package system is broken Check if you are using third-party repositories. If so, disable them, because they are a common source of problems. Furthermore, run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-image-extra-4.8.0-32-generic: Depends: linux-image-4.8.0-32-generic but it is not installed linux-image-generic: Depends: linux-image-4.8.0-32-generic but it is not installed >From nano Package: linux-image-generic Status: install ok unpacked Priority: optional Section: kernel Installed-Size: 12 Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team <kernel-t...@lists.ubuntu.com> Architecture: i386 Source: linux-meta Version: 4.8.0.32.41 Config-Version: 4.8.0.22.31 Depends: linux-image-4.8.0-32-generic, linux-image-extra-4.8.0-32-generic, linux-firmware Recommends: thermald Description: Generic Linux kernel image This package will always depend on the latest generic kernel image available.
