Hi,

if you just recently updated Zorin OS; did you also do the system updates??.

PS: do not double post or there is a danger that all your posts will get deleted by accident!!.

Yeah, I did that but still did not work, The look changer opens and everything and has the 3 themes but wont work still and i have the look changer files in my home files

and sorry about the double post I did not know the mods have to read it first

Wolfman, should he try the "dpkg" approach?

(Plug an ethernet cable on the PC/Laptop, reboot, from grub menu chose the recovery mode and from the new menu that will open chose and run "dpkg".)

Hi,

try running "dpkg" as MV suggests and I have another question, did you install Zorin completely as a fresh install with formatted partitions or did you keep an older /home from another Ubuntu install and not format it!!????. (if you install a different OS other than the one you have installed; it keeps the config files which can lead to problems and headaches!!)

If the answer is yes to my question then you should do a complete install after backing up all data and start again!!.

****was working good until ubuntu updated from 11.04 to 11.10,********

Zorin 5.2 is based on Ubuntu 11.04 it wont work if you update to 11.10

Zorin 6 will be based on Ubuntu 11.10 it's expected soon

Haudyr horses till then.

Ok, Well, Then is there anyway to get it working until zorin 6 is released

Wolfman Its a fresh install on a new separate partition from windows 7 and this is the first time i using/installing linux, and i try the the recovery mode thing later tonight then and let you know if it works

Thanks for the help guys

Ok so the recovery mode did not work and the re-install update manager did not work too, But it did fix some the other little issues i had

Still not working

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Code:

sudo apt-get install -f

That will fix you back.

Hi,

it may be a dependencies problem, firstly make sure that your download sources are set to "Main" and that all the update boxes have a tick in them and that all the PPA's are marked, then try these 2 commands and then restart your PC

sudo apt-get update

then:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

(See Ubuntu Software and Other Software in the How-To below)

ok the sudo upgrade worked but not the sudo configure i getting a bunch of errors, I going to delete linux of my hard drive and re install zorin and see if that works

I will be using Easy BCD 2.1.2 to fix the boot manger so i can load into Windows 7 the re-installing Zorin

Thanks for your help Guys
