Update manager error

[betterthanjordan79]

I keep getting an error every time I install a program or a program updates. I think its something to do with the Kernal updating.

Heres the error i get from update manager.

E: linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
E: grub-pc: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
E: linux-image-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

heres a picture of the terminal also



thanks in advanced for all help!!

Looks like you have broken packages. If I were you I would boot into recovery mode and select the option to repair broken packages.

ok i will try that but how do i access the recovery mode. I remember in older versions u pressed esc when it asked you to when its booting but i cant see that menu anymore...thanks for your input Sealbhach

That option will be in your Grub boot menu.

Hold down the right Shift-button as you start the computer - the menu is hidden by default, probably to save boot-up time. Well, hidden if you have only one OS, anyway.
