Looks like you have chosen the hard way ;) Everything is usually made with gui (but if you prefer the command line, its up to you indeed :p

a good start is to let us know about which ubuntu/desktop is installed, to get a closer answer(s) of course.

Anyway, let's start with something easy and userfriendly:

-open a terminal (you now know about it) and run:
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get clean
- sudo apt-get autoclean
- sudo apt-get autoremove
- sudo apt-get install synaptic
- gksudo synaptic

you now have the package manager opened, glance at the top bar menu and the left panel options; all you need is there

I think 9d9 meant a package manager, not file manager, but whichever it is, please do not use "sudo synaptic".
Sudo is for command line applications and utilities not for any GUI applications, and although some will work with sudo successfully, its use could potentially lock you out of your user login by changing permissions of files in your /home.

For GUI applications you should always use
gksudo synaptic (you will need to install gksu first,) or use command
sudo -H synaptic which is much safer as, to put it in simple terms, it opens a terminal as root and then runs synaptic from that.
See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2265982 for more information about that in the lower posts of the thread.

I recently launched Synaptic Package Manager from the Dash and I was required to authenticate. In this way Synaptic runs with administrator permissions. The only time I would want to launch Synaptic from the command line is if I did not have a user interface but could still open the terminal and if I wanted to remove or install a specific package in the hopes of fixing things.

@brian52

Please explain why you are running dpkg --configure -a? What were you trying to do that caused a need to configure packages? It might help us to advise you better. If a particular package is causing this problem, then is it one you are trying to install? And have you downloaded it from some web site?

Ubuntu is very friendly but because Ubuntu is a Linux distribution we also have the freedom of using the Linux command line and is something that we need to learn.

Thank you all for answering!

I haven't done anything so far, not sure what synaptic does.

Actually, Ubuntu is user friendly, however for me, user friendly has bugged.

I only want one thing after installing ubuntu for desktop x64, and it is to install and use incrediblepbx for a phone system. I installed it 1 month ago..

But then, ubuntu keep bugging me with automatic updates notifications. So I've decided to updates whent he pop up promted. It was supposed to be user friendly UNTIL THE UPDATES stalled and froze and there was no way to cancel it as the cancel buttun is not clickable. So the update will stall and remain like this forever. The only think I can do is to click on "detail" which shows some terminal stuffs, and I press enter so the installation can continue.. I had to press enter lot of times..

I am not sure what is wrong: so I pasted most of my problems here using the words i can find on the terminal.

It wouldn't be a problem if the updates via the pop up interface worked and didn't stall in the middle.

Also, I don't know if this is related, but I can't shut down or restart the computer using the ubuntu "start button" on the top left. It won't shut down or restart, it however brought me to a black screen with a flashing "l" (that flashing thing that tells you where you can write something on a word document for example..) I always need to shut down it by pressing the computer shut down button with my hand.

anyways this is now a mess. i cant start my linux.. ca only go to some terminal screen with my usb linux distribution"udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured." (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1567147)
damn everything i try has to be stalled at udev (setting up udev (204-5ubuntu20.10).. litterally everything, even install sudo pacman (which no idea what it is), or install anything such as synaptic fails too because it stalls at udev (setting up udev (204-5ubuntu20.10)
