Try the terminal.

Make sure your updated:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/server...upgrading.html

And good idea to have a backup plan in case of breakage.

That usually means that you have a package manager open. Maybe the software center, maybe update manager. You have to have them closed when running update in terminal.

ok yes that was right

but now it says

dpkg was interrrupted you must frist run dpkg configure a

[ibjsb4]

Ok, do what it said.

sudo dpkg --configure -a
