Am a recent convert from Microsoft so that makes me a Linux bunny. Have just upgraded to lucid by downloading upgrade via Update Manager.
Found on first boot that I had lost windows manager resulting in loss of tool-bars in any application I opened. Managed to fix that by copying files from administrator folder.
Now..when trying to install packages get the following error message:

Is that enough info for someone to help me identify the problem?? Please
Further to all this, all those packages mentioned above are installed though I don't know if they are properly installed. it would seem that the "dependency problems" would be at the heart of the issue. When trying to deal with the problem through the terminal I get "Unable to lock the download directory". I'm starting to think that I should just back up my files onto a separate hard drive, and reinstall from scratch. ???
Found on first boot that I had lost windows manager resulting in loss of tool-bars in any application I opened. Managed to fix that by copying files from administrator folder.
