hello :guitar:

i am very beginner in Linux..yesterday i just installed my ubuntu very first time..and i am very happy with it..

but now i am getting error message when i open update manager ..

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

please guide me what is this ..and how can i check my ubuntu updates..

sudo dpkg --configure -a
(in the Terminal)

Open Applications - Accessories - Terminal
enter the following code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
It will ask you for your login password. While you're at it, enter

sudo apt-get install -f
to check for any broken packages.
You can now check for updates with

sudo apt-get update
Exit from terminal with

exit
