Software Updates Fail - Terminal Won't Launch - mmcglynn - 08-07-2017

Updates fail with the following error. Terminal will not launch, so none of the fixes or diagnostic in the forum can be done.

What can I do?

Ultimately you need to run the following command in terminal...
[/size]
Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Since terminal is not opening... Try the below ways to open in the meanwhile...


Ways to open Terminal:
[/size]
  • [size=1em]using the terminal icon in the bottom left of the panel.[/size]
  • [size=1em]using ctrl-alt-t.[/size]
  • [size=1em]from Menu and type lxterminal - "Run lxterminal"[/size]

If you can get a working terminal - look at this thread for information..
