    I read this warning:
    Code:
    sudo: unable to resolve host Amber
    Try to change the Ubuntu software source. Select System -> Admin -> Synaptic -> Settings -> Repositories -> Download from. After that, try Reload.

    Re: Errors while installing??

    Ok...I found the solution. The following line was giving a problem:
    Code:
    /usr/share/gconf/schemas/bin-rm_thumb.schemas:53: parser error : Premature end of data in tag schemalist line 2
    So i just removed it by typing:
    Code:
    sudo rm /usr/share/gconf/schemas/bin-rm_thumb.schemas
    Then I reinstalled gconf2.
