    it installed a lot of stuff but also i got an error dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. what to do?

    Run
    Code:
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    as it's telling you. If you're stuck at the EULA for the Microsoft core fonts package, use the Tab key or arrow keys to highlight "Ok", then press Enter.

    Code:
    dpkg -s lubuntu-restricted-extras
    look at the Status: line. There may be a way to do this with Software Center, but I don't know what that might be.

    i got this dpkg-query: package 'lubuntu-restricted-extras' is not installed and no information is availableUse dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
    and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

    Can you run the command in post #2 again, and copy and paste all the text output here?
