Hello, im not a relatively new user but im running ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron and when i tried to install limewire it went through the process but stopped half way through so i gried to exit the manager and had to log out. the problem is when i try to install anything else it dosn't let me it give me the error to close updater or apt-get im not sure why. but anyway is there a simple way to just stop that install and be able to erase it ever happening. thanks :confused:
