hello I am still new to ubuntu and i need help because I am pretty sure that there are others that is having the same trouble on other Ubuntu Distrobutions. I did a fresh install of Xubuntu on my laptop. My laptop is a Dell Latutude d400. I ran the update manager that prompted me to do an update. Now @ the end of the up date i get an error code saying that it couldn't delet certain items. Then after hitting ok, I tried downloading and installing 'nmap' but I got this error code instead:
